Product Description: 

ARDEX P 82 Ultra Prime is a high-performance, solvent-free, two-component epoxy primer meticulously designed to provide superior adhesion for a wide range of flooring installations. This fast-drying primer effectively prepares smooth, non-porous surfaces, including concrete, terrazzo, epoxy coatings, ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone, metal, glass, vinyl, linoleum, VCT, and other challenging substrates that require reliable surface preparation. ARDEX P 82 primer significantly enhances bonding strength and ensures optimal adhesion for subsequent layers of tile mortars, thin-set mortars, self-leveling underlayments, floor patches, floor leveling compounds, and resilient floor coverings, including luxury vinyl tile (LVT), vinyl sheet goods, and rubber flooring.

Engineered for both residential and commercial environments, ARDEX P 82 guarantees exceptional durability, longevity, and installation performance while minimizing risks of bond failures and delamination. The epoxy primer dries quickly, enabling rapid installation of flooring systems without unnecessary delays, reducing downtime in commercial remodels and high-traffic areas. It is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, hospitals, laboratories, schools, retail stores, industrial facilities, clean rooms, and areas exposed to heavy foot traffic, carts, and rigorous cleaning routines with harsh chemicals.

ARDEX P 82 is easy to mix with a 1:1 ratio, simple to apply with a short-nap roller or brush, and dries to a distinctive pink film, clearly indicating complete coverage and readiness for further flooring procedures, ensuring proper application verification for installers. Its versatility allows it to prime non-absorbent substrates before installing ARDEX self-leveling underlayments and cementitious toppings, ensuring strong adhesion over substrates that traditionally require specialized preparation.
