GRIP A400 is a primer used to balance substrate absorbency and improve adhesion of gypsum and cement plasters on exposed concrete and non-absorbent surfaces.

Remove dust, loose particles, oil and laitance. Repair major defects and ensure the substrate is dry and sound before priming.

For brush/roller use apply neat or slightly thinned; for spray application you may dilute up to 5–10% with clean water if necessary.

Touch dry is typically 30–60 minutes; allow 2–4 hours before applying plaster/render (depending on temperature & humidity).

Approx. 72–96 m² (based on 6–8 m²/kg). Actual coverage varies with surface porosity and application method.

Yes — when applied correctly and protected from rain until fully dry. Avoid application in freezing or rainy conditions.

Yes — it is a primer to improve adhesion; use a suitable decorative topcoat after plaster/render and curing.

Apply between 5°C and 35°C. Do not apply on frozen substrates or if rain/frost is expected.

Store sealed in a cool, dry place between 5–30°C, protected from frost and direct sunlight. Shelf life is 12 months unopened.

Use in well-ventilated areas, avoid inhaling spray mist, wear gloves and eye protection, and wash skin after contact. Follow local disposal regulations.
