* Anhydrite screeds must be primed with an epoxy primer F5006 or F5007) prior to application of Pro Screed F5000.
In subfloors with readings of excess of 75%RH the use of surface membranes will help suppress residual moisture, dramatically improving the completion time of a project. Use the table below to choose the most suitable surface membrane and to see whether a primer/bonding agent is recommended.
