Consumption

Consumption

~150–500 g/m2

Consumption depends on the roughness and absorbency of the substrate. These figures are theoretical and do not allow for any additional material due to surface porosity, surface profile, variations in level or wastage etc.
Application steps

SUBSTRATE QUALITY

The substrate surface/supporting layer must be of sufficient structural adequacy to apply the new roof membrane and all layers of the roof build-up including wind uplift.

The substrate can be one of the following materials:

Concrete, lightweight concrete, screed, brick, plaster, Oriented Strand Boards (OSB), plywood panels, timber boards, metal decking.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

The substrate must be uniform, firm, solvent resistant, smooth and free of any sharp protrusion or burrs, clean, dry, free of grease, bitumen, oil, paint coatings and dust. If heavily contaminated or oiled, sheet metal decking must be cleaned with cleaner before applying the primer.

MIXING

1-part ready to use and must not be thinned or mixed with other products. Before use, stir product thoroughly.

APPLICATION

Application must be during dry weather at temperatures above +5 °C.

Apply a uniform, thin coat of Primer-600 to the substrate by brush or roller. Allow primer to dry tack free. Apply roofing membrane on the same day.

Absorbent substrates may require two coats. Allow sufficient overcoating time for 2nd coat.

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be mechanically removed.
