Description

Advantages

All temperatures above +5 °C
Compatible with BITUTHENE® GP, BITUTHENE® MRX and BITUTHENE® HC grade membranes
High coverage - low cost per square metre

Use

This primer cannot be use to prime “green” concrete or damp to touch substrates and need dry substrates. It is suitable for use on masonry or wood surfaces. Primer B1 can be used at -5 °C or above.

Application

BITUTHENE® Primer B1 may be applied by a roller or a brush. Apply it to clean, dirt free, surfaces at a coverage rate of 8-10 m2 per litre. Allow the primer to dry 30 minutes or until tack-free. Dry time may be longer in cold temperatures. Deep puddles of primers should be avoided as this will lengthen drying time. Do not apply directly to BITUTHENE® membrane.

In general, priming should be limited to an area that can be covered with membrane on the same day. Areas that accumulate significant amounts of dust or dirt must be re-primed before membrane is applied.
