As a leading Supplier of Bitumen Primer, Zumrut International Kimia offers high-quality products that meet the stringent requirements of the construction industry. Our bitumen primer is formulated to provide exceptional adhesion, durability, and versatility.

Description

Bitumen primer is a type of coating material that is made from a solution of bitumen or asphalt in a petroleum-based solvent. It is commonly used as a base coat or primer for various types of roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and built-up roofing systems.

The primary function of bitumen primer is to provide a smooth and consistent surface for the roofing materials to adhere to, as well as to enhance their waterproofing properties. It also helps to seal any gaps or cracks in the surface of the roof, preventing water from penetrating and causing damage.

Bitumen primer is typically applied using a brush or roller, and it is often used in conjunction with other roofing materials, such as roofing felt or membrane. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when applying bitumen primer, as improper application can lead to poor adhesion and compromised waterproofing performance.

Application

priming mineral substrates (concrete, cement, ceramics, gypsum), wood, including OSB boards, as well as bituminous and metal surfaces; preparation of the base for roofing – bituminous (self-adhesive and heat-weldable roofing felt, bituminous masses, roofing coatings) priming for heat-weldable and self-adhesive foundation roofing felt and waterproofing masses; improvement of adhesion and load-bearing capacity of incoherent substrates, such as repaired bituminous coverings.
