Bitumen primer belongs to the class of primers, which consist of a concentrated solution of high-quality petroleum bitumen, dissolved in organic solvents. The primer is made not only in the form of a concentrate, which before use is diluted to the required consistency, 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 the high-quality bonding of
deposited materials used in waterproofing and roofing, as well as soft tiles. In addition, it contributes to better adhesion of
waterproofing coating mastics to the surface.
Bitumen primer "TechnoNICOL" has a number of advantages that are inherent only to this type of building material:
- For the manufacture of the product using only organic solvents and high quality petroleum bitumen. That is why it is characterized by high heat capacity with penetrating ability, quick drying and lack of stickiness.
- Bitumen primer has good compatibility with almost all bitumen-polymer and bitumen materials.
- Does not contain toxic solvents.
- Due to its high penetrating ability, it belongs to the class of high-quality waterproofing materials. Its use allows waterproofing of a roll or roll -free type.
- Its use allows for better adhesion of waterproofing materials to dusty, porous and rough surfaces.
Currently, bitumen primer is one of the best materials related 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 foundation. The treated surface must be strong, dry, clean, not contain substances that contribute to the reduction of adhesion. If required, the surface must be further degreased.
The primer is applied with any convenient painting tools in each case. This can be airless or airborne spray, brush, fur roller, spill, followed by the distribution of the primer on the base with a rubber mop. If concentrate is used, then it is diluted to the required consistency with gasoline or white spirit. If you are going to work with a primer, you should know that the primer is bitumen, the material consumption suggests in the range from 150 to 300 grams per square meter, this directly depends on the type of surface to be treated (concrete, iron or asphalt).
The primer refers to combustible materials, therefore, when carrying out work, safety precautions should be observed. It is strictly forbidden to smoke or light a fire near it. Care must be taken to ensure that the material does not get on exposed skin, in the mouth, etc. If, nevertheless, the primer gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and immediately seek medical help. At the construction site, where work is carried out with the use of combustible materials, the necessary fire extinguishing equipment must be available.
