ABA Abaprime Single Part Primer is a water-based primer used for improving the adhesion of ABA and ARDEX products to smooth, dense and various non porous substrates. It is easy to apply with a brush or roller with applications of subsequent products able to take place with minimal downtime. ABA Abaprime Single Part Primer is suitable for internal and external wall or floor applications.

For Use With

ABA Abaprime Single Part Primer is compatible with subsequent applications of ABA tile adhesives, floor levelling compounds and in non fully immersed conditions with ABA undertile waterproofing membranes.

Substrates

ARDEX Abaprime is ideal for particleboard, plywood, sheet timber; medium density fibre-cement sheet, compressed fibre-cement sheet; jointing compound over plasterboard; concrete, renders, screeds; masonry and lightweight concrete blocks; autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC); existing glazed tiles (not suitable for shower floors or permanently immersed conditions); metal surfaces, some plastics (contact ABA on specific types); epoxy coatings (contact ABA on specific coating); painted surfaces.

ARDEX E 90 is a special synthetic dispersion for use in conjunction with ARDEX cement-based adhesives, such as ARDEX S 16, ARDEX STS 8. The addition of ARDEX E 90 admix produces a mortar that is elastic, has high adhesion and water repellent properties. ARDEX E 90 mixed with cement-based adhesives extends the use of the adhesive to situations where movement is anticipated e.g. external tiling, over fibre cement sheets/plasterboard, when tiling over heated subfloors. The ARDEX E 90 mortar can be used in both internal and external tiling applications.

When to Use

The improved mortar is especially effective in the following situations:

• For fixing of ceramic tiles onto fibre cement sheet, compressed fibre cement sheet and plasterboard.
• For fixing over existing tiles in areas that will not be in contact with water, tiles can be directly fixed without mechanical grinding the glaze. In all other situations the tiles must be mechanically roughened to remove 80% of the glaze.
• When tiling with ARDEX STS8 externally, to accommodate movement and help inhibit the formation of lime bloom and efflorescence.
• For tiling over heated concrete.
• For improved protection of moisture sensitive substrates e.g. when fixing tiles in bathrooms, showers and kitchens. N.B. This treatment cannot be used to replace a conventional waterproofing membrane.
• For fixing tiles in swimming pools.
