Concrete Primer
Concrete Primer is a coating formulated for use on concrete surfaces as part of an acrylic sports flooring system. It helps prepare the concrete substrate for the subsequent flooring materials while providing a suitable interface between the base and the coatings applied above it.
The primer forms part of the initial surface preparation stage, helping create a consistent starting point for the complete flooring system. Its use is particularly relevant where the concrete substrate needs to be prepared before the specified acrylic sports flooring layers are built over it.

Coverage
Concrete Primer typically covers approximately 78 sq.ft per kg per layer. Actual coverage may vary depending on the porosity, texture, and condition of the concrete surface.
Thickness
Each Concrete Primer layer is applied at an approximate thickness of 0.25–0.35 mm, providing a consistent primer layer across the prepared concrete surface before the subsequent acrylic sports flooring layers are applied.
Preparing Concrete for Acrylic Sports Flooring
Concrete Primer is applied to prepared concrete surfaces before the subsequent layers of an acrylic sports flooring system are applied. The gallery showcases the primer application process and its role in preparing the concrete substrate for the flooring layers that follow.
From Concrete Substrate to Sports Flooring System
Concrete Primer is applied directly over the prepared concrete substrate before the subsequent layers of the acrylic sports flooring system are added. It forms the initial coating layer between the concrete base and the flooring materials that follow.

(Depending On Base Condition)
Engineered for premium sports court projects, Raycourt’s 9-layer synthetic acrylic flooring system combines 1 primer coat, 2 acrylic resurfacer coats, 4 cushion coats, and 2 acrylic color coats over a prepared concrete or bitumen base. The additional acrylic color coat improves surface uniformity, enriches color depth, and enhances wear resistance, creating a premium sports surface with exceptional durability and lasting visual appeal.
Why Concrete Primer Matters in Sports Flooring
Concrete Primer helps prepare the concrete substrate before the subsequent layers of the acrylic sports flooring system are applied. Its role is focused on creating a suitable starting surface for the flooring system that follows.
Improved Concrete Adhesion
Helps create a suitable bonding surface between the prepared concrete substrate and the acrylic flooring layers that follow.
Reduced Surface Absorption
Helps regulate the absorbency of the prepared concrete surface for consistent application of the flooring layers that follow.
Better Substrate Sealing
Helps close the surface of the prepared concrete before the acrylic sports flooring system is built above it.
Improved Layer Compatibility
Helps create a suitable transition between the concrete substrate and the acrylic flooring materials applied above it.
Controlled System Start
Helps establish the initial surface condition required before continuing with the subsequent sports flooring layers.
Reduced Concrete Porosity
Helps control the porous nature of concrete before the subsequent acrylic flooring layers are applied.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about sports flooring materials, acrylic flooring systems, product applications, installation, maintenance, performance, and more.
What is Concrete Primer used for?
Concrete Primer is used as part of an acrylic sports flooring system to prepare the concrete substrate before the subsequent flooring layers are applied.
Can Concrete Primer be applied to bitumen surfaces?
No. Concrete Primer is intended for application on prepared concrete surfaces and should not be applied to bitumen substrates.
What is the recommended mixing ratio for Concrete Primer?
The recommended mixing ratio is 20 kg of Concrete Primer with 32 litres of clean drinking water.
How thick should each Concrete Primer layer be?
Each layer is applied at an approximate thickness of 0.25–0.35 mm, depending on the application requirements and condition of the concrete surface.
How much area does Concrete Primer cover?
Concrete Primer typically covers approximately 0.01–0.013 kg/sq.ft per layer. Actual coverage may vary depending on the porosity and texture of the concrete surface.
How long should Concrete Primer dry before the next flooring stage?
The applied Concrete Primer should be allowed to dry completely for approximately one day before proceeding with the next stage of the acrylic sports flooring system.
