Bitumen Primer refers to a class of primers that consist of a concentrated solution of high quality petroleum bitumen dissolved in organic solvents. The primer is produced not only in the form of a concentrate, which is diluted to the required consistency before use, but also in the form of a ready-made solution that can be used immediately.
Bitumen primer is widely used for priming concrete and metal surfaces. It contributes to high-quality gluing of welded materials used in waterproofing and roofing works, as well as soft tiles. In addition, it promotes better adhesion of waterproofing coating mastics to the surface.
The bituminous primer "TechnoNIKOL" has a number of advantages that are unique to this type of building material:
- Only organic solvents and high quality petroleum bitumen are used to manufacture the product.quality. That is why it has high heat capacity with penetrating power, fast drying and no stickiness.
- The bituminous primer has good compatibility with almost all bitumen-polymer and bituminous materials.
- Does not contain toxic solvents.
- Due to its high penetrating power, it belongs to the class of high quality waterproofing materials. Its use allows for waterproofing rolled or non-rolled type.
- Its use allows better adhesion of waterproofing materials to dusty, porous and rough surfaces.
Currently, bituminous primer is one of the best materials belonging to the class of primers, which is used in the construction of the roof. Its use is a guarantee of quality work, but only with appropriate preparation of the base. The surface to be treated must be strong, dry, clean, free of substances that reduce adhesion. If required, the surface must be further degreased.
The primer is applied with any painting tools convenient in each case. This can be airless or air spray, brush, fur roller, spill, followed by the distribution of the primer over the base with a rubber squeegee. If a concentrate is used, then it is diluted with gasoline or white spirit to the required consistency. Going to work with a primer,you should know that the primer is bituminous, the material consumption is in the range from 150 to 300 grams per square meter, it directly depends on the type of surface to be treated (concrete, iron or asph alt).
The primer is a combustible material, so safety precautions should be observed during work. It is strictly forbidden to smoke or kindle a fire near it. Care must be taken to ensure that the material does not get on open areas of the skin, in the mouth, etc. If, nevertheless, the primer gets into the eyes, immediately rinse them with plenty of water and immediately seek medical help. At the construction site, where work is carried out with the use of combustible materials, there must be the necessary fire extinguishing equipment.
