Primer

#101 Asphalt Primer is a premium quality blend of asphalts and solvents formulated to penetrate, soften and tenaciously adhere to old, dry roofing felts. Applied as directed, Asphalt Primer provides a sound base for the application of asphalt coatings, emulsions, adhesives and cements. Asphalt Primer is also designed for use on weathered metal and previously uncoated concrete roofs. Meets all specifications of ASTM D41-88.

Uses
#101 Asphalt Primer is used to promote adhesion on built up roofs and exposed or dry felts. Use on weathered metal and all previously uncoated concrete roofs. Use on any roof application where adhesion problems may occur.

Advantages
#101 Asphalt Primer promotes adhesion to badly weathered roof surfaces. Provides a sound base for the application of roof coatings. Economical and easy to use

Installation
Coverage
Product yield to achieve desired rate will be from .75 to 1 gallon per 100 square feet. The yield varies according to the existing surface texture. As a general rule, the smoother the surface, the less material is required. Recommended application rate is 8 to 12 mils wet film thickness that will produce 4 to 6 mils dry. A mil is 1/1000 of an inch.

Surface Preparation
Remove all dirt, dust, debris and standing water by brooming and by forced air where necessary and where no danger or nuisance is caused to areas adjacent to work. All loose gravel must be removed from ballasted roofs. Scrape back to a hard edge all loose or scaled coating.

Application
Apply Asphalt Primer by airless spray or pump and gun sized by a knowledgeable pump dealer or by pouring directly from the container and spreading with a standard roofing brush. It can also be paintbrush applied. On dusty areas, a brush should be used to work the material into the surface.

#101 Asphalt Primer cleans up with mineral spirits, but do not thin the product with this or any other solvents.

For the easiest workability in cold temperatures, warm containers by storing them overnight in a room at 65° to 75° F.

Drying Time: Two to Four hours to touch at 70° F. & 50% relative humidify.

Allow Asphalt Primer to penetrate and set for a full four hours before applying solvent based coatings and 24 hours before applying emulsion products.

Restrictions
Do not use with PVC film. Do not use where material, once applied, may come into contact with potable water. Not for use on or with products containing coal tar. Do not use on slate shingles or apply directly to wood surfaces. Surfaces to be dry and clean and must remain so for 24 to 48 hours after application.
