Bitumen Primer

Description

Bitumen primer is a liquid coating used to prepare surfaces before applying bituminous materials such as bitumen membranes, asphalt, or other waterproofing products. It enhances the adhesion between the surface and the waterproofing layer, ensuring a strong, durable bond. Bitumen primers are available both water based and solvent based to comply project specification.

Bitumen primer is an effective solution for damp proofing concrete walls, providing a protective layer that prevents moisture infiltration and enhances the adhesion of subsequent waterproofing layers. When applied to concrete surfaces, bitumen primer forms a durable, waterproof barrier, helping to protect structures from water damage.

Key Features of Bitumen Primer:

• Improved Adhesion: Ensures better bonding of bituminous coatings to surfaces.
• Surface Preparation: Used on concrete, metal, and masonry to create a uniform and clean surface.
• Waterproofing: Acts as an additional layer of protection against moisture infiltration.
• Durability: Increases the lifespan of bitumen-based waterproofing systems.

Applications of bitumen primer:

• Roofing: Prepares surfaces for bitumen membranes and coatings.
• Foundations: Ensures waterproofing effectiveness in below-ground structures.
• Basements and Retaining Walls: Provides enhanced moisture protection.

Bitumen primer is a vital component for successful waterproofing, enhancing the performance and longevity of the entire system.

Available in 20L pail & 200L drum.
