Bitumen Primer

  • Technical Details

ANTICORR® Bitumen Primer is bituminous air curing ready mixed Acid & Alkali resistant special primer.

Surface Preparation

Surface Preparation As with all surface coatings, preparation of the surface is of great importance and will influence the degree of adhesion obtained and the life of the coating, All surfaces must be sound, stable and thoroughly clean and dry. Surfaces should be wire brushed to remove rust. Porous surfaces should be primed with ANTICORR® BITUMEN PRIMER

Advantages

  • Seal pores on surfaces such as concrete.
  • Improves the adhesion of bituminous material that is to be applied to the substrate.

Application

ANTICORR® BITUMEN PRIMER is ready for use and should not be thinned. Apply by brush or spray. A minimum of one coat of Bitumen Paint should be applied, the first been allowed to dry (normally 3-4 hours depending on weather conditions) before the second is applied if required.

PROTECTIVE COATING ON CONCRETE ETC Since concrete and some stone surfaces may be porous; an initial primer coat of ANTICORR® BITUMEN PRIMER should be applied.

Cleaning Tools

Tools may be cleaned by using white spirit. Spillages should be wiped off surfaces before the bitumen primer has set.
