The Essential Foundation for Flawless Waterproofing
Ensure maximum adhesion and longevity for your waterproofing systems with Insutech Bitumen Primer (20L). This high-quality, solvent-based primer is specifically formulated to prepare concrete, masonry, and metal surfaces before the application of APP or SBS torch-on waterproofing membranes.
Applying a primer is not optional; it is the critical first step that seals porous concrete, removes dust, and creates a sticky, uniform bonding layer. Using Insutech Primer prevents membrane blistering, delamination, and premature failure, making it an indispensable product for professional roofing and waterproofing contractors across Kenya.
Features & Benefits
| Key Feature | Benefit to Your Project |
|---|---|
| Deep Penetration | Seals micro-cracks and porous concrete surfaces, creating a solid, non-dusty base for the membrane. |
| Superior Adhesion | Acts as a powerful bonding agent, ensuring the APP membrane sticks permanently and prevents water tracking underneath. |
| Fast Drying Formula | Dries to the touch in 2-4 hours (depending on weather), allowing contractors to proceed with torch-on application the same day. |
| Rust Inhibitive | Can be applied to clean metal surfaces (like steel roof decks) to prevent rust and promote membrane adhesion. |
| 20L Bulk Capacity | Cost-effective volume for medium to large-scale commercial projects, reducing the need for frequent refill runs. |
| Easy Application | Can be applied quickly using a long-handled brush, roller, or low-pressure spray equipment. |
