Sikalastic® Primer

ONE-COMPONENT, HIGH SOLIDS, AROMATIC POLYURETHANE PRIMER

Sikalastic® Primer is cold applied, single component, low-VOC, moisture-curing polyurethane primer. It is designed for sealing cementitious substrate to reduce the incidence of outgassing. For use as a primer under Sikalastic Traffic & Waterproofing Systems on concrete, plywood, select metals and existing PU coatings.

  • Fast curing formulation
  • No mixing required
  • Compatible with most concrete, masonry, and stone substrate materials
  • Low-VOC formulation
  • Low temperature application
  • Reduces the likelihood of blistering and pin-holing

Application steps

MIXING

No mixing required.

APPLICATION

Apply Sikalastic® Primer by medium nap phenolic core roller or squeegee and backroll ensuring and even and consistent coverage. Ensure all excess material is removed by back rolling with no pooling or puddling of resin. Allow coating to cure ~45 minutes or until tack-free before proceeding with subsequent system.

Sikalastic® Primer must be overcoated within 72 hours, if this window is missed the primer must be abraded and solvent wiped followed by an additional coat of Sikalastic® Primer before proceeding. 

Removal

Remove liquid uncured resin immediately with dry cloth and do solvent cleanup. Once cured, resin can only be removed by mechanical means.
