Required primer / sealer before potassium-silicate or slaked-lime paints and plasters on virgin portland-cement masonry.
-
Breathable formulation that supports durable mineral systems.

Ideal Uses & Compatible Surfaces
Perfect for interior or exterior use on virgin drywall / gypsum board, portland-cement stucco, concrete block, reinforced concrete, MGO board, chalky paints, plasters, and lime-based finishes.
Also great as a fixative on low-fired / porous brick and as an isolator to reduce salt or efflorescence reactions.

New cement / stucco: Cure 21 – 28 days → EcoForte Consolidator → MicroGrip primer → finish.
-
Chalky acrylics: Pressure-wash → Consolidator → MicroGrip primer.

Salt / coastal areas: Neutralize salts, rinse, dry → EcoForte Consolidator → finish system.
-
Low-fired brick: Consolidate → EcoForte Consolidator → MicroGrip → finish.
