DESCRIPTION
MEL-PRIME N.E. solvent-base VOC primer is a ready-to-use primer
specifically formulated to meet the maximum VOC content limits of 200 g/L for
quick dry primers as required by VOC regulations recently implemented in the
northeastern U.S. It is red to reddish-brown in color and is furnished in one-gallon
(3.79 liter) cans or five-gallon (18.93 liter) pails.
USES
Apply MEL-PRIME N.E. solvent-base VOC primer to concrete to simultaneously prepare
and dustproof new, old, vertical and horizontal surfaces in one easy, economical
operation. Use MEL-PRIME N.E. on all concrete surfaces to receive applications
of MEL-ROL®, MEL-DEK™
, and/or AIR-SHIELD™ from W. R. MEADOWS.

COVERAGE
150 to 250 sq. ft./gal. (3.68 to 6.14 sq. m/L)
APPLICATION
Surface Preparation...Concrete
should be cured at least 72 hours, be clean, dry, smooth and free of all voids.
Repair spalled areas, fill all voids and remove sharp protrusions. For additional
surface preparation requirements, see instructions for applying MEL-ROL,
MEL-DEK, and/or AIR-SHIELD.
NOTE: Metal surfaces must be primed. They must also be clean, dry and free of loose paint, rust or other contaminants.
Method of Application ... Apply MEL-PRIME N.E. with a roller or brush at a coverage rate of 150 to 250 sq. ft./gal (3.68 to 6.14 sq. m/ L). Prime only the area to be covered with the membrane during the working day. Areas not covered with a membrane in 24 hours must be re-primed.
Drying Time ... Allow to dry for one to two hours, or until the primed surface feels tacky, but does not pick up when touched. If the work area is very dusty, apply membrane as soon as possible after MEL-PRIME N.E. is dry.
Clean Up ... MEL-PRIME N.E. solvent-base VOC primer may be cleaned with mineral spirits.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not apply MEL-PRIME
N.E. solvent-base VOC primer when rain is imminent, or on damp or frost-covered
surfaces. Avoid allowing MEL-PRIME N.E. to puddle – this will lengthen
drying time. Do not dilute; use as is.
