FUGA-PAVE Slurry Primer – Porcelain & Paving Primer

What is FUGA-PAVE Slurry Primer?

FUGA-PAVE Slurry Primer is a polymer-enhanced, cementitious slurry primer designed to create a strong, durable bond between porcelain or low-absorption paving and the bedding mortar.

It plays a critical role in ensuring correct adhesion when installing porcelain, natural stone, and other dense paving materials.

When used correctly, the slurry primer helps achieve a monolithic bond between the tile or slab and the bedding mortar, improving long-term performance and reducing the risk of debonding.
