Description
Eagle Bitumen Primer – High-Performance Primer for Bituminous Coatings
Enhancing Adhesion for Reliable Waterproofing & Roof Coatings
Eagle Bitumen Primer is a thin, black, solvent-based primer designed to prepare and condition surfaces prior to the application of bituminous paints and roof coatings. It improves adhesion by creating a strong bonding key between the substrate and subsequent waterproofing layers.
The primer is suitable for use on concrete, asphalt, bitumen felt, timber and metal surfaces, helping to stabilise dusty or porous substrates and promote long-lasting performance of bituminous systems.
Key Benefits
- Improves adhesion: creates an effective bonding layer for bituminous coatings.
- Multi-surface compatibility: suitable for concrete, asphalt, bitumen, steel and timber.
- Fast-drying: helps improve site efficiency and reduce downtime.
- Enhances coating performance: supports improved coverage and durability of bitumen paints.
- Easy application: can be applied by brush, roller or spray.
Typical Applications
- Priming concrete roofs, floors, screeds and cementitious surfaces
- Preparing bitumen felt, asphalt and mastic asphalt substrates
- Pre-treating weathered corrugated iron and steel prior to waterproofing
- Priming timber surfaces before applying bituminous coatings
Application Overview
Surface Preparation
- Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust, grease, oil and loose material.
- Remove contaminants that may impair adhesion.
Application Method
- Apply evenly by brush, roller or suitable spray equipment.
- Avoid excessive application or pooling.
- Allow the primer to dry fully before applying bituminous coatings.
- Drying time will vary depending on temperature, surface porosity and ventilation.
Limitations & Precautions
- Not suitable for areas exposed to direct solvent attack.
- Ensure adequate ventilation during application, especially in confined spaces.
- Follow all safety guidance provided on the product label and safety data sheet.
Eagle Bitumen Primer is an essential preparation step within bituminous waterproofing systems, helping to ensure reliable adhesion, improved coating performance and long-term durability.
