Bituminous priming & sealing solution
bituprime is a bituminous solution with petroleum solvents.
Uses:
A bitumen solution suitable for sealing and priming of all porous and nonporous surfaces prior to treatment with
- Cold applied, filled bituminous compounds
- Hot or cold applied bituminous sealants
- Torch-on membranes
Advantages
- Versatile bituminous primer for porous or non-porous surfaces
- Used on concrete or metal
- Economical
- Easy to apply
Surface Preparation
All surfaces to be clean dry, sound and free of oils and laitance.
Mixing
Stir well before use.
Coverage
Practical coverage for estimating purposes: Approx. 5m2/litre depending upon surface texture and porosity.
Application
bituprime may be applied by brush or spray. The applied film must be allowed to dry before being over-coated with any waterproofing compound, sealant or coating since any thick overcoat applied over uncured film may lead to solvent entrapment with consequent poor adhesion.
