ZeroStat Crete Primers
One of the most important parts of a system is the primer. Good surface preparation in combination with the proper primer will insure a long-lasting system. Ground Zero offers a diverse product line of primers to meet a wide range of needs. We manufacture primers for use on concrete, vinyl tile, steel and previously coated surfaces.
However, not all surfaces are the same. Ground Zero offers an oil-tolerant primer for concrete contaminated with petroleum products, a moisture-tolerant primer where moisture is found and other primers to meet our other demands. Ground Zero customizes a solution for your specific needs.
- Moisture & Oil Tolerant Primers
- A Primer for every Application
- 100% Solids & Water-based Primers
- Primers for Vinyl Tile, Steel, Concrete & Previously Coated Areas
ZSCrete Premier Coating Types
GENERAL-PURPOSE PRIMERS
EPHB CR High-Build Primer for ESD Coatings & Special Non-ESD Applications
This high-build primer is designed for ESD applications and areas requiring a tougher, more rigid primer. The product is easily applied, and penetrates deep into the concrete. The result is a primed surface that works in conjunction with Ground Zero’s ESD-control coatings. It is ideal for applications involving static-sensitive products or equipment.

WB (Water-Borne) Primer
This primer is ideal for applications requiring a water-based, urethane or epoxy topcoat. It provides high bond strength and good flexibility. Because it is water-based, it is permeable, allowing some moisture to pass through the coating.
PRIMERS FOR SPECIAL SURFACES
PR 300 Vinyl Tile Epoxy Primer
Developed specifically for use over vinyl tile, this epoxy primer combines high strength and flexibility. It is formulated with a special curing agent that provides extra bond strength, assuring a secure bond to the tile. At the same time, its flexibility enables the primer to move with the natural flexing of the tile, so it won’t loosen. PR 300 is also suitable as a primer for ESD applications where a static-control coating is being applied over vinyl tile.
PRIMERS FOR HARSH CONDITIONS
PR 510 Oil-Tolerant Epoxy Primer
This unique, 100% reactive primer dissolves oil from the concrete, making it ideal for applications where the surface is exposed to oils from machinery or processing. The product’s special formulation allows it to dissolve oil by making the oil compatible with the epoxy. As a result, it provides a superior bond to concrete in applications where oils can cause other primers to fail.
PR 520 Moisture-Tolerant Epoxy Primer
In environments where moisture is present, this 100% reactive epoxy primer reacts with water at the concrete surface, allowing for a superior bond. As a result, this primer is recommended for applications where the floor has higher moisture readings (hydration or moisture transmission).
STATIC-CONTROL PRIMERS
ESD PR1 Conductive Black Primer
If a conductive floor coating is required, ESD PR1 can be applied as a base coat before using an ESD topcoat (2.5 x 10^4 – 10^6 range). It should not be used with an ESD urethane topcoat
ESD PR3 Static-Dissipative Black Primer
This primer was specially formulated to be used with Ground Zero’s Chemi-LDR 610 ESD Slurry Coating when a static dissipative floor is required. ESD PR3 allows Ground Zero to be flexible when designing a system to meet your needs. It is a 100% solids epoxy system.
