Stopgap Fill and Prime

Two Component, Flexible Cement Based Primer

STOPGAP FILL AND PRIME is a two-component, fast drying, flexible cement based primer that is designed to fill and prime joints in raised access panels quickly and easily. Its formulation gives it a thixotropic consistency, which enables it to fill joints up to 4mm wide in raised access panels. When applied up to a thickness of 1mm, it sets rapidly and is ready to receive foot traffic from 60 minutes. This quick turnaround time allows floor fitters to complete projects to a high standard with minimal downtime.

Once cured, the excellent flexible nature of STOPGAP FILL AND PRIME will accommodate movement within the substrate. This flexibility ensures a durable and long-lasting surface, even in more challenging environments.

Floor fitters can use our flexible cement based primer on substrates with well bonded waterproof adhesive residues prior to the direct application of the recommended STOPGAP smoothing compound. It has a strong and reliable performance which makes it an ideal primer for creating a stable base layer.

Designed with efficiency in mind, our rapid drying primer supports fast-track installations without compromising on quality, delivering dependable results every time. Learn more about how STOPGAP FILL AND PRIME can improve your flooring installation process in our F-Talk article here.
