Surface Pre-Treatment
Description
Aluma-Prime is a solvent-based, high-penetration bitumen primer designed to prepare porous surfaces for the application of waterproofing membranes and flashing tapes. It works by binding dust and sealing the substrate to create a high-tack surface that ensures a permanent bond.
Specifically formulated for concrete, masonry, and metal surfaces, this primer penetrates deep into the pores of the substrate to neutralize alkaline surfaces and improve the overall longevity of the waterproofing system.

Key Features
- Rapid Drying Time — Allows for fast-track project completion, becoming tacky shortly after application.
- Deep Penetration — Low-viscosity formula ensures deep reach into concrete pores for maximum mechanical keying.
- Dust Binder — Effectively stabilizes loose particles on the substrate surface for a cleaner bond.
- Adhesion Promoter — Significantly increases the bond strength of torch-on membranes and self-adhesive tapes.
- Corrosion Protection — Provides a temporary protective coating for metal surfaces against oxidation.
- Easy Application — Can be applied using a brush, roller, or airless spray equipment.
