100 years. And still innovating.
Have you heard about Laykold’s new 1K PrimeSeal?
Laykold has developed an advanced concrete primer specifically engineered for installers to solve adhesion problems on modern concrete surfaces. More than a paint company, Laykold combines cutting-edge research with science-driven formulations to deliver world-leading, “fit-for-purpose” products and application solutions.
Why Do Courts Fail?
Paint bubbling, surface peeling, and topcoat delamination are becoming increasingly common problems. Many professional installers are being called back to fix courts after only a short period of use.
These issues usually result from adhesion failures caused by:
Improperly constructed concrete substrates
Improper primer application
Improperly prepared concrete substrates
Use of inferior “off-the-shelf” products not designed for modern concrete
Why Are Failures Increasing?
Hard court failures are on the rise, particularly in North America, due to evolving concrete mixes:
Buffered pH levels
Increased limestone content
More variable surface conditions
Laykold 1K PrimeSeal is engineered to address these modern concrete challenges. All Laykold installers are trained on proper substrate preparation to ensure consistent, long-term performance.
How Does Laykold 1K PrimeSeal Work?
1K PrimeSeal stabilizes the concrete surface and creates a uniform barrier that:
Locks down fines
Reduces dusting
Neutralizes conditions that can undermine adhesion
By addressing the root causes of coating failure, PrimeSeal ensures long-lasting, high-quality installations.
“We see so many situations where installers take big financial hits because of concrete preparation short cuts or using off-the-shelf primers. With Laykold, there’s no question about product quality. They’re easy to use, backed by technical support, and trusted by our leading installation network .”
The Result
Laykold 1K PrimeSeal delivers:
Stronger bonding and more predictable installations
Single-component, water-based formula with no mixing or pot life limitations
Milky-white consistency for excellent wetting and penetration
Easy squeegee application at 1 gallon per 200 sq ft (two coats)
