Mixing
Stir well before use.
Coverage
Practical coverage for estimating purposes: Approximately 5 m2/L 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 overcoated with any waterproofing compound, sealant or coating since any thick overcoat applied over uncured film may lead to solvent entrapment with consequent poor adhesion.
Cleaning
Tools, brushes and mixing equipment should be cleaned immediately after use and before material has set with abe® super brush cleaner followed by washing with soap and water.
Protection / Maintenance on Completion
bituprime is used as a primer and is covered by a waterproofing compound or coating.
