P360 Floor primer COSHH Assessment Form

A three-page COSHH Assessment Form for P360 Floor primer, with some example text reading:

Spillage and environmental:

Mobility: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep the container tightly closed.

Accidental release: Do not discharge into drains or rivers. Contain the spillage using bunding, then absorb it into dry earth or sand. Transfer to a closable, labelled salvage container for disposal using the appropriate method.

P360 floor primer is specifically formulated to prepare a diverse range of both absorbent and non-absorbent substrates for the successful installation of self-levelling compounds, tile adhesives, and various other flooring materials. This versatile primer serves as an effective bonding agent, significantly enhancing the adhesion properties between the substrate and the flooring materials. Regulating the porosity of the surface helps to create a uniform base that mitigates issues such as bubbling, which can occur when trapped air escapes from underneath the layers, and rapid drying, which can lead to improper curing of the flooring materials. Furthermore, this primer not only promotes optimal adhesion but also extends the longevity of the flooring system by ensuring a more stable and durable bond.

P360 is a specialised primer that significantly enhances the adhesion between a variety of substrates, such as concrete, screeds, or existing tiles, and the flooring materials being applied. This primer effectively regulates the absorbency of the substrate, ensuring that self-levelling compounds or adhesives do not dry out too quickly or inconsistently, which can lead to compromised adhesion.

One of the critical functions of P360 is its ability to bind loose particles and dust on the surface, resulting in a cleaner, more stable base for flooring installation. This stabilisation is crucial as it prevents any potential deficiencies in the substrate from affecting the overall integrity of the flooring.

P360 is compatible with a wide range of substrates, including cement screeds, calcium sulphate screeds, concrete, plaster, and even pre-existing glazed tiles, making it an incredibly versatile option for various flooring projects. The primer is formulated for fast-drying properties, enabling reduced installation times and a quicker project turnaround.

By improving adhesion and carefully regulating the porosity of the substrate, P360 plays a vital role in preventing common issues such as bubbling, cracking, or delamination of the flooring material. Unlike primers that are often tailored for specific substrate types, such as those designed specifically for drywall, P360 stands out as a universal primer suitable for a broad spectrum of typical flooring applications. Its all-encompassing nature positions it as an essential component in achieving long-lasting and durable flooring installations.
