Primers & Additive

Primers and additives for the substrates that standard tile adhesive doesn't handle on its own — impervious surfaces, existing tile, epoxy floors and moisture-prone slabs. Because ACT adhesives already include Infused Primer Technology, this range is for the trickier jobs: check the FAQs, Product Data Sheets or contact ACT Australia Technical Department to confirm when priming is actually needed.

FAQs

Do I really need a primer?

ACT Australia adhesives do have Infused Primer Technology (IPT), so for most standard substrates (i.e. concrete slabs, FC sheet), you won’t need a primer you’ll just need to make sure your substrate is clean. For more unconventional scenarios, check our primers range, solutions pages or contact our Technical Services Team.
