Concrete primers & re-alkalisation

Concrete adhesive primers and re-alkalisation primers are applied to prepared concrete substrates before repair mortar application to improve adhesion and substrate condition. Adhesive primers are applied wet-on-wet immediately before mortar application. Re-alkalisation primers improve the pH at the repair interface on carbonated concrete to reduce ongoing corrosion risk. Selection is driven by function, chemistry, wet-on-wet window and suitability over carbonated substrates.
