BondMaxx 128 Oil Stop Primer is a two-component, solvent-based epoxy primer designed for properly prepared concrete surfaces affected by petroleum-based oil contamination. It is built to penetrate into the concrete surface, helping create a strong bond where standard primers may struggle.
This primer is best suited for garages, workshops, automotive service bays, maintenance areas, mechanical rooms, warehouses, and industrial floors where petroleum-based oils may be present.
BondMaxx 128 is supplied in black only and can be used as the first coat before applying a suitable epoxy, urethane, or polyaspartic flooring system.
Oil contamination is one of the biggest reasons floor coatings fail. Even after cleaning, petroleum oils can remain deep in the pores of the concrete and interfere with adhesion. BondMaxx 128 is designed to help overcome that issue by penetrating the substrate and creating a suitable primer layer for the next coating stage.
A representative test patch should always be applied and evaluated before proceeding with the full installation. Petroleum oils can continue to migrate upward through newly applied coatings, so adhesion and compatibility should be checked before applying additional coats.
Apply BondMaxx 128 by brush or roller at approximately 5β8 mils wet film thickness. For best results, use a high-quality 3/8" nap roller. The floor and air temperature should be between 55Β°F and 90Β°F, and the substrate temperature must be at least 5Β°F above dew point.
The concrete should be clean, sound, dry, and free from loose contamination. Oil-contaminated concrete should be cleaned using an appropriate method for the site conditions, such as steam cleaning, solvent cleaning, or water-emulsion cleaning. Always confirm the surface is dry before coating.
BondMaxx 128 is used as the primer layer. Once cured sufficiently, it can be topcoated with a suitable intermediate coat and finish coat, depending on the required floor system. For heavy-use areas, we recommend pairing it with a compatible Dymond epoxy base coat and a durable CrystalCoat topcoat.
The Strength of Diamond. The Confidence of a Lifetime.
Dymond Coatings are engineered with the same qualities as their namesake β tough, long-lasting, and built to bond for life. Thatβs why we back every eligible Dymond kit with our Lifetime Promise: if your floor fails due to a verified product defect, weβll replace the material or issue a credit toward your next job. This warranty applies to complete Dymond systems (primer, base coat, and topcoat) when installed on indoor concrete surfaces and applied according to Dymondβs preparation and application guidelines. Covered issues include delamination caused by faulty resin blends, curing failure due to batch defects, and contamination introduced during manufacturing or packaging. To qualify, the product must be within shelf life, used under proper storage conditions, and installed using only Dymond components.
This warranty does not extend to issues arising from improper surface preparation, substrate contamination, excessive moisture vapor, impact or abuse, substrate movement, or UV discoloration of white/light epoxies. Installations over wood, tile, or outdoor surfaces are excluded unless specifically approved. Cosmetic issues such as texture variation, microbubbling, or minor tint shift are not covered. Warranty coverage is limited to the original purchaser and is non-transferable. Claims must be submitted with photographic evidence of each install stage and full batch documentation. Dymond reserves the right to determine whether the cause of failure falls within warranty scope.
This Promise applies to most DIY and light commercial indoor projects. Larger commercial and industrial installations may be eligible for custom coverage β contact us for terms.
Yes, in many cases, but the floor underneath has to be clean, solid, and mechanically prepared. The coating can only bond as well as the surface it is applied to.
Every floor is different. When coating over anything other than properly prepared concrete, we strongly recommend applying a small test area first.
This system is designed to bond to properly prepared concrete. The concrete must be clean, dry, sound, and mechanically ground or shot blasted.
This system can be installed over an existing epoxy coating if the old coating is firmly bonded, clean, sound, and fully deglossed.
Can be installed when tile is firmly bonded, clean, degreased, abraded, and tested first. Installation is done at your own risk.
Many customers successfully coat over VCT, but the bond depends on tile, adhesive, waxes, moisture, and movement. Installation is at your own risk.
Requires a scratch coat first. Wood installations are done at your own risk. Always test first.
For a strong bond, the surface must be mechanically prepared. Cleaning alone is not enough.
The floor must be mechanically ground or shot blasted to create a surface profile the coating can grip.
Oil, grease, wax, soap residue, dust, old adhesive, sealers, and loose material must be removed before coating.
Cracks, holes, divots, and damaged areas should be filled before coating for a stronger, smoother finish.
For tile, VCT, wood, unknown coatings, sealed floors, or questionable surfaces, apply a small test area.
Yes. For a strong bond, the coating needs a clean, mechanically prepared surface profile.
Delamination is when the coating separates, peels, bubbles, or lifts from the floor underneath.
Often yes, if the existing coating is fully bonded, clean, sound, abraded, and tested first.
Sometimes, but the installation depends on the tile, adhesive, waxes, movement, and moisture. Test first.
Wood is conditional and normally needs a scratch coat. Always test first.
Tile can be conditional. It must be firmly bonded, cleaned, abraded, and tested before a full installation.
Every floor is different. If you are coating over tile, VCT, wood, an unknown coating, sealed concrete, or a questionable surface, apply a small test area first before installing the full system.
The coating can only perform as well as the surface underneath it.
