Professional Primers That Anchor the Entire Flooring System
Dymond primers are purpose-built to form the critical bond between concrete and the coating system above. Proper priming controls absorption, improves adhesion, reduces failure risk, and ensures consistent performance across epoxy, urethane, and polyaspartic flooring systems. When the primer is right, everything else works as designed.
Why the Right Primer Matters in Epoxy Flooring
Concrete is unpredictable. Porosity, moisture vapor, surface density, and age all affect how coatings perform. Using the wrong primer—or skipping primer altogether—is one of the most common causes of delamination, blistering, and premature coating failure. This category exists to match the right primer to real jobsite conditions.
Primer Options for Different Substrates & Conditions
Each Dymond primer is engineered for a specific purpose, allowing installers to build systems correctly rather than forcing one product to do everything. Whether the challenge is moisture, porosity, film build, or decorative broadcast systems, there is a primer designed to solve it.
BondMaxx 113 – Water-Based Epoxy Primer for Porous or Damp Concrete
BondMaxx 113 is a water-based epoxy primer designed for excellent penetration and adhesion on porous or variable concrete substrates. Its low-VOC formulation makes it ideal for residential and commercial interiors, while its ability to tolerate damp slabs helps reduce delays on moisture-sensitive projects. It’s commonly used as a penetrating primer or concrete sealer where breathability and bond strength are required.
VaporShield 125 – 100% Solids Moisture Vapor Barrier Epoxy
VaporShield 125 is a high-performance, 100% solids epoxy moisture vapor barrier engineered to control moisture vapor emission rates up to 20 lbs per 24 hours per 1,000 square feet. Meeting ASTM F3010 requirements, it is used on new slabs, below-grade installations, and any environment where moisture threatens adhesion or coating integrity. When moisture is present, this primer protects the entire system above it.
BondMaxx 127 – High-Build Epoxy Primer for Heavy-Duty Systems
BondMaxx 127 is a 93% solids, high-build epoxy primer designed for projects that require added film thickness and a tougher base layer. It helps smooth minor surface irregularities while delivering strong chemical resistance and adhesion. This primer is commonly used beneath high-solids or 100% solids epoxy body coats in commercial and industrial flooring systems.
BondMaxx 129 – Flexible Base Coat for Full Flake & Decorative Systems
BondMaxx 129 is a flexible, fast-curing epoxy base coat formulated specifically for chip broadcast systems. Its balance of strength and flexibility helps resist cracking while creating a seamless foundation for full-flake garage floors and decorative epoxy systems. It’s widely used in residential and light commercial applications where appearance and durability must coexist.
Designed for Compatibility Across Epoxy, Urethane & Polyaspartic Systems
All Dymond primers are engineered to work seamlessly with subsequent coats, including epoxy body coats, urethanes, and polyaspartic topcoats. This compatibility eliminates guesswork, improves intercoat adhesion, and reduces the risk of system-level failure.
Manufactured for Contractors Who Need Predictable Results
Formulated and manufactured in the USA, Dymond primers feature straightforward mix ratios, reliable cure schedules, and professional-grade performance. They’re designed to minimize installation risk, reduce callbacks, and provide a stable foundation from surface preparation through final topcoat.
