Bitumen Primer
Whatsapp Order
Bitumen Primer is a low-viscosity solution of bitumen in organic solvents (e.g., mineral spirits or aromatic hydrocarbons). It is formulated to penetrate porous substrates and enhance adhesion before applying bituminous membranes or coatings. The primer quickly evaporates to leave a tacky, bitumen-rich film that promotes strong bonding. Commonly used in construction, waterproofing, and roofing, bitumen primer improves coating durability, water resistance, and substrate compatibility.
Description
Primary Uses
- Waterproofing & Roofing
- Primer for bituminous membranes, sheets, coatings, and sealants to improve adhesion on concrete, metal, wood, and masonry.
- Prepares surfaces for asphalt-based waterproofing systems in roofs, foundations, and retaining walls.
- Promotes seamless integration of ancillary products such as flashing, edging, and pipe joints.
- Roadworks & Infrastructure Repair
- Enhances bonding of asphalt patches or overlays on existing pavements.
- Acts as a tack coat between pavement layers in maintenance work to prevent slippage or separation.
- Used as a dust suppressant and binder on gravel roads or surfaces.
- Surface Preparation
- Prepares porous surfaces for bituminous coatings to ensure uniform coverage and performance.
- Improves waterproofing systems’ efficiency by sealing hairline cracks and voids before topcoat.
Secondary Uses
- Corrosion Protection
- Serves as a rust-inhibiting primer for steel structures, pipelines, and underground tanks prior to bituminous or epoxy coating.
- Protective Coatings
- Applied on embedded metal flashings, exposed rebar, or iron structures in construction to aid subsequent polymeric or elastomeric coatings.
- Sound & Vibration Damping
- Occasionally used in tunnels or noise-barrier assemblies to seal surfaces and dampen vibration before installing dampening mats or panels.
- Temporary Surface Treatments
- Employed as a tacky surface coating for construction traffic control areas or temporary waterproofing during phased work.
