Product Information

Full details

The Bond It Bitumen Primer is a professional-grade, high-penetration coating designed for contractors and homeowners preparing surfaces for waterproofing applications, such as mastics or flashing tapes. Its primary benefit is the superior stabilization of porous substrates, which ensures a secure and long-lasting bond for subsequent waterproofing materials; however, users should note that due to its bituminous nature, it is intended strictly for exterior use and requires careful application to avoid staining.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this primer be used indoors?

No, this product is designed specifically for exterior applications and contains solvents that require good ventilation.

Do I need to thin the primer with water?

No, this product is supplied ready-to-use and should not be thinned.

How long should I wait before applying the top coating?

While it is rain-resistant in 30 minutes, it is best to allow the primer to become touch-dry, which typically takes 1-2 hours depending on ambient temperature.

Will it work on new concrete?

Yes, but ensure the concrete has fully cured and is completely dry before application.

How do I clean my brushes?

Clean brushes or rollers immediately using white spirit or a proprietary brush cleaner.

Can I use this on plastic guttering?

It is generally not recommended for plastic; check the manufacturer's data for plastic-specific bonding agents.

Troubleshooting

Primer is not drying quickly.

High humidity or extremely low temperatures can delay curing. Ensure work is done in dry conditions.

Poor adhesion of the top layer.

The substrate may have been too wet or dirty during the initial priming stage. Clean the surface thoroughly and ensure it is fully dry.

Product is too thick to apply.

The product is designed for cold application; if stored in cold temperatures, move to a warmer area for a few hours before use to improve flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion promotion for bitumen-based systems
  • Rapid drying time increases site efficiency
  • Versatile application across many industrial and domestic surfaces
  • Requires no pre-mixing or thinning
  • Highly resistant to environmental degradation

Cons

  • Not suitable for indoor use due to bitumen base
  • Can stain porous materials if spilled
  • Requires professional cleaning of brushes/rollers with white spirit
  • Strong odor during application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure the substrate is clean and dry. No thinning is required—simply stir the contents of the tin gently before use. Apply the primer using a brush or roller, working it well into the surface to ensure deep penetration.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with most bitumen coatings, mastics, and flashing tapes. Not recommended for use on surfaces treated with non-compatible sealants (perform a patch test if unsure).
  • Care and Cleanup: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with white spirit or a suitable solvent cleaner. Store the tin in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is replaced securely after each use to prevent the solvent from evaporating.
