Get the primer wrong and even the best epoxy system can blister or delaminate early.
Liquimix builds every high-performance floor from below the surface. As a trusted concrete primer supplier to the civil, industrial and commercial trades, we formulate our epoxy primer range to penetrate, strengthen and seal concrete before a single litre of topcoat goes down.

Our concrete epoxy primers are built on low-viscosity, 100% solid epoxy chemistry. They are engineered to penetrate the pore structure of concrete rather than just sit on top of it. Our selection includes primers for epoxy systems in standard, fast-cure, and winter grades.
Civilox-LV100 is a low-viscosity epoxy concrete primer with a simple 1:1 mix ratio. Penetrates, strengthens, and seals concrete, and is a preferred choice over polyurea linings, helping prevent pinhole formation.
Civilox-FC125 is a fast-curing, surface-tolerant concrete epoxy primer built for adhesion, water resistance and chemical durability. A common first choice where turnaround matters as much as bond strength.
Civilox-CC55 is a winter-grade primer for epoxy application in colder conditions, formulated to harden in 6 to 10 hours at 15°C and below, without compromising penetration.
Concrete is porous, alkaline and rarely as dry as it looks. Our epoxy paint and primer systems are designed to address those aspects.
We manufacture our concrete epoxy primer range in Australia for Australian conditions and in alignment with the moisture and pH testing benchmarks set out in AS 1884:2021.
Our team can help specify the right primer for a new pour, an ageing industrial floor, or a facility where downtime isn’t an option. We also supply in bulk, so contractors sourcing primer alongside a full flooring system can order through the same account and technical office.
A primer is the first step in a larger system. Depending on the finish you’re building toward, you may also need other products. Explore our:
We supply epoxy primers to applicators, specifiers and facility teams across Australia, backed by more than 40 years of formulating for local conditions. Whether you’re priming a new slab or specifying an epoxy primerfor a moisture-affected building, our technical office can help you match the product to the substrate before you order.
Priming is the cheapest line item on a flooring project and the most expensive one to get wrong. Talk to our technical office before you order.
Tell us your slab condition, moisture reading and intended topcoat, and we’ll help you choose the right epoxy concrete primer for the job.
On almost every commercial or industrial job, yes. A primer improves adhesion, seals the concrete’s pore structure, and reduces outgassing that causes pinholes and bubbles. Skipping it on porous or previously ground concrete is one of the most common causes of coating failure.
A primer is a thin, penetrating layer that bonds a coating system to the concrete beneath it. Epoxy paint is the thicker, coloured finish applied on top. A durable floor generally needs both to work together as one system.
It depends on the product, film thickness, and site temperature, so always check the datasheet. Our fast-cure grades are typically recoatable within hours, and our winter grade hardens in 6 to 10 hours at 15°C and below.
Often, yes, once the surface is properly prepared. Our primers for epoxy are formulated to penetrate, strengthen and seal dusty or friable concrete, but cracks or significant contamination should be addressed first. Our technical office can help assess what a slab needs before priming.
Standard primers slow down in cold conditions, which is why we formulate Civilox-CC55 specifically for temperatures of 15°C and below. It’s designed to harden and dry in 6 to 10 hours.
Coverage depends heavily on how porous and profiled the concrete is, since a rougher or more absorbent slab draws in more resin. Consult with our team for an estimate based on your substrate.
