A clean dry Sopraboard substrate typically does not need priming prior to using these three Application Methods. During warm and/or sunny weather periods, Elastocol 500 can be used as a Self-Adhered (SA) Primer on top of a COLSTIX self-adhered field base membrane or inner ply on horizontal applications ONLY prior to a COLSTIX self-adhesive inner ply or field cap membrane being installed. Elastocol 500 Primer meets ASTM D 41 criteria
Description:
ELASTOCOL 500 is a primer made with SBS modified bitumen, fast-evaporating solvents and adhesive enhancing additives. It is required to prime most surfaces such as concrete, metal and wood substrates in order to improve the adhesion of torch-applied waterproofing membranes.
Application:
ELASTOCOL 500 can be applied with a brush, roller or sprayer. It must be thoroughly dry before applying the waterproofing membrane.
WARNING: Do not accelerate drying of ELASTOCOL 500 by heating it with a torch.
Average coverage: 0.15 to 0.25 L/sqm
Amount used could increase depending on porosity of the surface.
Properties:
ELASTOCOL 500 meets the requirements of the ASTM D41 standard.
