Quick answer
Epoxyprimer is a universal, water-based epoxy floor primer formulated to promote strong adhesion on a wide variety of substrates. Commonly used to prepare workshop flooring, Epoxyprimer is compatible with surfaces such as concrete, timber, ceramic tiles, and screeds. Its versatility makes it a dependable choice for ensuring epoxy coatings or resin floors adhere evenly and securely, even when surfaces differ between rooms or sections.


Unsure whether your workshop floor or renovation project can be primed with Epoxyprimer? Understanding the compatible base surfaces can help you make the best decision for a long-lasting resin finish.
Which substrates does Epoxyprimer work on?
Epoxyprimer can be applied to a range of commonly encountered flooring materials in industrial and automotive settings. Its water-based, low-odour formula adheres effectively to:
- Concrete – including new screeded slabs or older, absorbent floors
- Timber – wooden boarding or engineered wood flooring
- Ceramic tiles – glazed or unglazed
- Screeds – sand:cement or other subfloor smoothing layers
This broad compatibility makes it exceptionally valuable in areas where different surface types meet.


Key tips for priming different surfaces
For best results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. For ceramic tiles or glossy substrates, light abrasion improves adhesion. Use a suitable cleaner such as the Strong Technical Degreaser for removing oils and residues on concrete or timber. Always check for underlying moisture in screeds and concrete to avoid trapped damp under resin systems.
When matching surface types matters
In busy automotive workshops or areas with both hard and wooden zones, compatibility is crucial for floor uniformity. Whether you’re transitioning between concrete and timber or priming over tiled pits, Epoxyprimer’s ability to bond across varied surfaces helps ensure that the final resin floor remains seamless and stable.
