TIPONPRIME SB
Solvent Based Bitumen Primer
Complies with ASTM D 41
AN ISO 9001:2015 CERTIFIED COMPANY
Description
TIPONPRIME SB is a high-quality, solvent-based bituminous primer designed for use on concrete and brick substrates. It is formulated to improve the adhesion of bituminous membranes and coatings. TIPONPRIME SB penetrates porous surfaces, seals micro-cracks and pinholes, and creates a uniform bitumen film that ensures superior bonding between membranes and substrates.
Uses
-
Primer coat for modified bitumen membrane applications
-
Enhances adhesion of bitumen-based coatings

Dust binder for porous surfaces
-
Anti-corrosive protective layer
-
Suitable for both vertical and horizontal surfaces
-
Ideal for concrete and masonry
Characteristics
-
Cold-applied: No heating required
-
Fast drying: Tack-free in approx. 2 hours (±1 hour based on weather)
-
Excellent penetration into pores and surface irregularities
-
Improves adhesion of bituminous membranes
-
Anti-corrosive and dust-binding properties
