primer-kote features

Primer-kote is a 100% acrylic-based surface preparation primer with excellent durability, UV stability and superior flexibility.

Uses: Primer-kote can be used as a primer and sealer over bitumen, modified bitumen, asphalt, fiberglass, galvanized steel, aluminum, concrete, concrete block, brick and wood. Primer-kote seals against asphalt bleed-through on bituminous surfaces, seals concrete, block and brick against excessive alkalinity and effloresence and primes galvanized metal and aluminum for maximum adhesion and flexibility of the finished coating.

Surface Preparation: All areas to be coated must be clean, dry and free of oil, grease and dirt. Check existing coatings for proper adhesion; remove loose, flaking material. Check existing surface for compatability, do a test patch over questionable surfaces. Temperature range for application: 40 to 100 degrees F. Apply one coat with brush, roller or airless sprayer. Coverage rate will vary based on type and condition of surface. Estimated coverage rate: 50 to 100 square feet per gallon. Approximate dry time: one hour, but will vary based on ambient weather conditions. Product is milky white in can, dries to a translucent film. When dry, Primer-kote can be top-coated with Roof-kote, Metal 1-kote or Tuff-kote.

application

Recommended for:

Primer-kote can be used as a primer and sealer over bitumen, modified bitumen, asphalt, rolled roofing, fiberglass, galvanized steel, aluminum, concrete, concrete block, brick and wood. Primer-kote seals against asphalt bleed-through on bituminous surfaces, seals concrete, block and brick against excessive alkalinity and effloresence and primes galvanized metal and aluminum for maximum adhesion and flexibility of the finished coating. Do not use Primer-kote on membranes such as new Hypalon, new PVC, polypropylene and TPO or over new elastomeric coatings. Before coating ANY roof, always do a test patch to check for compatibility, adhesion and soundness.

Tools

Application may be by brush, roller, or airless spray.
Brush: Suitable for small areas and flashings. Use a synthetic bristle paint brush.
Roller: Recommended when coating small areas. Use a smooth foam roller.
Airless Spray: 4000 psi min. ½” hose min. 0.025 to 0.039 inch orifice reversible tip

Approximate Coverage Rates Per Gallon
