A highly penetrative, thin bituminous solution for priming surfaces prior to the application of bituminous materials. BITUMEN PRIMER can be used to prime concrete roofs and floors, cementitious screeds/renders, bitumen felt, mastic asphalt, weathered corrugated iron and steel. It is the recommended primer for use with the BITUBOND range of bituminous roof coatings, flashing tapes or mastics. All surfaces must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free from surface contaminants such as grease, rust and dirt. If necessary, remove any organic growth i.e. moss or lichen, with a fungicidal wash such as MOULD STOP. On bare metal a rust inhibiting product, such as red oxide or zinc phosphate should be applied and allowed to harden. Apply by brush or roller. Using a brush, scrub the primer into the surface. Ensure that only a thin coat is applied and that there is no pooling. Priming should extend at least 75mm beyond the area to be waterproofed. Leave to dry for 2-3 hours before continuing with further work. With fibre cement or dry rag based bituminous felts, apply generously to saturate the surface. Drying Time: Approximately 3-6 hours depending on drying conditions. May be extended for heavy coatings or in cold weather. Cleaning Of Tools: Clean with paraffin (kerosene) or Bond It WHITE SPIRIT. Colour: Black.
