- Preparing cement-based surfaces prior to smoothing with self-levelling or thixotropic smoothing compounds
- Between layers of smoothing compounds once the first coat is perfectly dry
- On anhydrite surfaces prior to applying cement-based products
- On gypsum walls as a fixative for wallpaper adhesives

The figures behind it.
- Normal consumption is between 0.08 and 0.15 kg/m².
Consumption on site depends on the substrate, the tool and the applicator, which is why wastage is yours to set. The result is a quantity to plan and quote with, not a guarantee of coverage. Confirm the system against the current Mapei technical data sheet before ordering.
Application
Where it is used.
In Mapei's own words, from the technical data sheet.
- 01For treating gypsum surfaces prior to installing ceramic tiles
- 02As an anchoring coat for gypsum-based sprayable plasters
- 03To improve the adhesion of smoothing compounds on cementitious or anhydrite and gypsum-based surfaces
- 04To provide uniform absorption in cementitious or gypsum surfaces
- 05Preparing cement-based surfaces prior to smoothing with self-levelling or thixotropic smoothing compounds
- 06Between layers of smoothing compounds once the first coat is perfectly dry
- 07On anhydrite surfaces prior to applying cement-based products
- 08On gypsum walls as a fixative for wallpaper adhesives
Where it is not the right product.
- Primer G does not waterproof gypsum substrates even though it considerably reduces their porosity and absorption
- Do not apply onto magnesium substrates
- Primer G is not recommended for external applications or where rising damp is present
- Do not apply Primer G in such a quantity that it forms a surface film; dilute with water as appropriate for the absorption of the substrate
