Dependable™ Primer and Additive for Flooring Prep

Dependable™ Primer and Additive is a versatile floor preparation solution designed to improve adhesion and performance before installing flooring systems. Used as a primer, bonding agent, or additive, it helps create a stable, reliable surface that supports long-lasting flooring installations in both residential and light commercial spaces.

This product is a smart choice for installers and homeowners who want consistent results, reduced installation risk, and better overall floor performance.

Built for Proper Floor Preparation

Dependable Primer and Additive is used to condition and strengthen subfloors prior to applying self-levelers, patching compounds, or adhesives. It helps control porosity, improves bonding strength, and promotes uniform curing, all key factors for a smooth, durable finished floor.

When mixed as an additive, it enhances flexibility and adhesion in compatible cement-based products, improving their workability and performance.

Reliable Bonding Performance

Formulated for dependable adhesion, this primer helps reduce issues like bubbling, pinholing, and premature failure caused by dusty or highly absorbent substrates. It penetrates the surface to create a strong mechanical bond, supporting better long-term flooring stability.

Its fast-drying, low-odor formula makes it suitable for occupied spaces and time-sensitive projects.

Easy Application on the Jobsite

Dependable Primer and Additive is simple to mix and apply using common tools such as rollers, brushes, or sprayers. It spreads evenly and dries to a clear or slightly translucent finish, making it easy to see coverage without guesswork.

Installers benefit from improved flow and working time when used as an additive, while DIY users appreciate the straightforward application process.
