Intended Use
Icopal SA Bitumen Primer is designed to penetrate and seal dusty
or porous substrates of masonry, concrete, cementitious screeds
or renders, existing bituminous or asphalt waterproofing, structural
steelwork and other metals, prior to the application of heatactivated self-adhesive bituminous membranes.
* depending on ambient conditions.
Compatibility
Icopal SA Bitumen Primer is compatible with most building
materials with which it is likely to come into contact with. However
spillage onto hydrocarbon based materials, such as bitumen
membranes and mastic asphalt, may cause some softening of
those surfaces if left unattended. It is not suitable for use in
combination with polystyrene or soft pvc products.
Surface Preparation
Ensure the substrate is structurally sound, free of surface laitance,
oils, grease, dirt, moss, lichen, and loose material.
The surface should be smooth and free from sharp projections and
loose debris, and any material which would hinder adhesion.
