Ready-to-use bonding primer formulated to improve adhesion on challenging substrates before microtoppings, mortars, and leveling compounds.
Decco Primer Grip is a low-VOC synthetic resin primer formulated with bond-promoting silica aggregates. It creates a textured bonding surface to help improve adhesion and long-term performance on difficult substrates before applying mortars, microtoppings, self-leveling compounds, and other finish systems.

Allow approximately 1–2 hours to dry depending on jobsite temperature and humidity.
Coverage
Approximate coverage rate is 0.025 lbs per sq ft per coat.
Clean Up
Clean tools immediately with water after use.
Pre-Application Requirements
Do not dilute
Use the product as supplied. Do not thin or dilute before application.
Surface preparation
Substrate must be clean, sound, and free of dust, grease, sealers, weak coatings, or contaminants.
Surface profile
A rough surface is recommended. Mechanical abrasion or etching may be required depending on substrate condition.
Moisture & temperature
Lightly dampen surface before application. Minimum application temperature is 40°F / 4°C.
Best For
Microcement Systems
Helps prepare difficult substrates before decorative microcement or microtopping finishes.
Self-Leveling Compounds
Improves bond before applying leveling products over prepared surfaces.
Tile Over Tile
Creates a textured bonding surface when installing over approved existing tile substrates.
Challenging Substrates
Designed for surfaces where standard adhesion may be difficult without proper priming.
Primer Grip is a critical preparation step for improving adhesion on difficult surfaces. Proper substrate preparation and priming help support long-lasting system performance.
Always confirm substrate suitability before installation. Do not apply over contaminated, unsound, sealed, or improperly prepared surfaces.
