Primers & Moisture Retarders for Flooring in Singapore | Cemimax Asia
Ensure Strong Adhesion and Moisture Protection with Cemimax Primers and Moisture Retarders
What Is a Self Levelling Compound?
A self levelling compound, also known as self levelling cement or floor levelling compound, is a polymer-modified, cement-based material that automatically spreads to form a flat and level surface. Unlike traditional screeds that require manual trowelling, a self levelling compound flows naturally to eliminate surface irregularities with minimal effort.
Cemimax’s innovative formulations are specifically engineered to ensure excellent flow characteristics, high compressive strength, and quick setting times. When applied over concrete, screed, or existing flooring, our products create a flawless, stable base that enhances the appearance, strength, and longevity of the final floor covering.
Cemimax self levelling compounds are trusted by flooring professionals across Singapore, Australia, and the Asia-Pacific region for their reliability, ease of use, and superior results.

Why Are Primers and Moisture Retarders Important for Flooring?
1. Surface Preparation for Strong Bonding
Primers create a clean, prepared surface that allows adhesives to bond more effectively. Whether your flooring material is vinyl, wood, or concrete, a proper primer ensures that the adhesive stays in place, reducing the risk of future lifting, peeling, or bubbling. Without a primer, the adhesive may not bond effectively, leading to floor instability.
2. Protect Against Moisture Damage
Moisture is one of the biggest enemies of flooring materials. Moisture vapor retarders act as a barrier between the subfloor and the flooring material, preventing moisture from seeping through and damaging the flooring. This is especially important in areas with high humidity or moisture levels, such as basements, kitchens, bathrooms, or commercial spaces.
Without moisture retarders, moisture trapped under the floor can cause swelling, mold growth, and floor degradation. Using the right moisture vapor retarders ensures that your floor stays dry and durable for the long term.
3. Enhance Floor Durability and Performance
Using Cemimax primers and moisture retarders helps ensure that the flooring installation not only looks great but also performs well under everyday stress. These products are designed to ensure the longevity and durability of your flooring, particularly in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas.
