The long-term success of self-adhering waterproofing membranes often relies on the quality of the substrate preparation, especially in challenging environments or when applying to porous surfaces. The #80/#1170 Primer VOC, available from A1A Wholesale Supply, is specifically formulated to address this, acting as a vital bonding agent to ensure robust and lasting adhesion for a variety of Protecto Wrap products.
This primer is an asphalt SBS solvent-based formula designed for horizontal applications where temperatures are above 40∘F (5∘C). It is VOC Compliant, making it a responsible choice for modern construction practices.
Recommended for use with the following Protecto Wrap products:
- Jiffy Seal 140/60, Jiffy Seal 140/60 AK, Jiffy Seal 140/60 CW, Jiffy Seal 500, PW100-60: For horizontal applications above 40∘F (5∘C).
- AFM, AFM-WM, Whisper Mat: For horizontal applications above 40∘F (5∘C), recommended for external applications only.
- M-400A, M-400A(R): Acts as a bonding agent to provide a bond between the membrane and the primed surface.
- Rainproof, Ice & Water Guard, Rainproof™: For concrete, masonry, or weathered surfaces.
Coverage rates vary depending on the porosity of the substrate:
- 175 to 250 square feet per gallon for Jiffy Seal and AFM products.
- 225 to 275 square feet per gallon for M-400A products.
- 175 to 225 square feet per gallon for Rainproof products.
Key Features and Benefits for Contractors:
- Enhanced Adhesion: Crucial bonding agent for specific Protecto Wrap membranes on various substrates.
- VOC Compliant: Adheres to environmental regulations.
- Versatile Application: Recommended for a wide range of Protecto Wrap horizontal waterproofing products.
- Optimized Coverage: Efficient coverage rates for various substrates.
- Multiple Packaging Options: Available in 1-gallon, 5-gallon, and 55-gallon containers to suit project scale.
Application Directions:
- Ensure the surface is dry, clean, and free of dirt, dust, loose concrete, or other contaminants.
- Thinning of the primer is not recommended.
- Apply primer to all surfaces using a roller or brush.
- The primed surface must be free of runs, puddles, or excessive primer, as this can cause blistering. Brush or roll out all primer puddles or drips immediately.
- Prime only as much area as can be covered in half a day’s work.
- Re-prime any areas not covered in half a day’s work with a light coat of #80/#1170 Primer.
Precautions & Storage:
- Flammability: Extremely flammable; contains volatile solvents. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store in direct sunlight.
- Storage: Store in accordance with regulations for flammable liquids. Store between 40∘F (4∘C) and 120∘F (49∘C) in original, unopened containers, out of weather and direct sunlight. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, all sources of ignition, oxidizers, and acids.
- Personal Protection: Wear appropriate clothing, gloves, and a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH/MSHA). Vapor may be irritating, harmful, or fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Flush eyes immediately with running water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If ingested, contact a physician immediately and do not induce vomiting.
- Cleanup: Clean up with mineral spirits, xylene, toluene, or acetone.
