a.b.e. Bituprime 5 L

The a.b.e. Bituprime is a versatile bituminous primer designed for priming and sealing surfaces, making it an essential product for various construction and waterproofing applications. Here’s a more organized overview of its features, uses, and application process:

 

a.b.e. Bituprime is a bituminous solution combined with petroleum solvents. This product is ideal for both porous and non-porous surfaces, providing an effective seal before applying bituminous compounds, sealants, or membranes.

 

Key Uses:

• Surface Sealing and Priming: Ideal for preparing surfaces before applying cold-applied or hot-applied bituminous compounds.
• Versatility: Suitable for use on various surfaces, including concrete and metal.
• Preparation for Torch-On Membranes: Ensures a strong bond when used before applying torch-on membranes.

Advantages:

• Multi-Surface Compatibility: Can be used on both porous and non-porous surfaces.
• Cost-Effective: Economical in use with a coverage rate of approximately 5m² per litre.
• Easy Application: Can be applied by brush or spray, ensuring convenience on the job site.

 

Surface Preparation:

• Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, sound, and free of oils and laitance before application.

 

Mixing Instructions:

• Stir well before use to ensure uniform consistency.

 

Application:

• Coverage: Approximately 5m² per litre, depending on the surface texture and porosity.
• Method: Apply using a brush or spray.
• Drying Time: Allow the film to dry completely before applying any waterproofing compound, sealant, or coating. Overcoating too soon may lead to solvent entrapment and poor adhesion.

 

Typical Physical Properties (Wet Material):

• Density: 0.90 g/cm³
• Colour: Black
• Flash Point: 30 °C
• Dilution: Can be diluted with white spirits or turpentine.
• Consistency: Low viscosity liquid.

 

Physical Properties During Application:

• Volume Solids: 40%
• Overcoating Time @ 25°C: Minimum 24 hours
• Drying Time @ 25°C: Approximately 4 hours

 

The a.b.e. Bituprime is a reliable choice for ensuring a well-prepared surface, enhancing the effectiveness of subsequent waterproofing or sealing treatments.
