Frequently asked questions

Do I need to prime every surface before using a bitumen product?

Only if the substrate is porous or absorbent - concrete, asphalt or masonry all benefit from priming. A surface that is already sealed does not need it.

How long before I can work if rain is forecast?

The primer is resistant to rainfall within 20-30 minutes of application, so short weather windows are workable.

Can I apply it to a damp surface?

Yes, it will adhere to damp surfaces, though not to a surface that is still wet.

Is there a minimum application temperature?

Yes, do not apply below 5°C.

What sizes are available?

A 4 litre tin covering around 12m², and a 20 litre drum covering around 60m² - choose based on the size of the job.

Is Primer for Bitumen flammable?

Yes, it's supplied in a sealed metal tin marked with a Class 3 flammable liquid hazard label - store and handle it accordingly.

What is it used for?

It seals porous substrates and improves the adhesion of bituminous waterproofing systems, sheet coverings and bitumen-based line markings.
