Primers
The perfect primer for every surface
Before you start leveling the floor or wall and adhering tiles, you need to pre-treat the surface. There are primers for (highly) absorbent surfaces and primers for non-absorbent surfaces. Each with its specific characteristics such as fast-drying, reduced absorbency, deep priming, or with granules for smooth surfaces. With the right pre-treatment, you enhance the quality of the (adhesion to the) surface. For every type of wall tiles and floor tiles/tiles, from concrete look, terrazzo look, and wood look to marble look and mosaic. Good to know: with Omnicol primers, you work with an odorless product, free of solvents. This aligns perfectly with our sustainability policy.

Why should I use primer?
When gluing tiles, leveling floors, or plastering walls or ceilings, it is often advisable to provide the substrate with a good pretreatment. You can imagine that these products or adhesives, leveling compounds, or plaster mortar need to adhere to the substrate. To ensure optimal adhesion, it is recommended to apply a primer or primer first. Using a primer can prevent many problems from occurring.
Should I dilute primer?
Omnicol supplies ready-to-use primers that do not need to be diluted. Open the packaging, stir, and you're ready to go. Only the suction-reducing plaster primer ZV (FIX+ R and FLEX+ are also dilutable) omnibind can be adjusted to the suction of the substrate by dilution.
How much primer do I need?
Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to this. Consumption depends heavily on the function for which the primer is applied and the substrate on which it is applied. The consumption of a primer applied to reduce suction on a porous substrate will be considerably higher than that of a bonding-promoting primer on a closed substrate. Our indicative consumption calculator is a useful tool to help you with this.
