Waterproofing primer in water dispersion
WHERE TO USE
To waterproof:

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Primer S is a water dispersion of a synthetic resin which forms a film after drying that is resistant to water, elastic,
compact and unaffected by weather, creating a perfectly waterproof barrier.
Primer S is not inflammable or dangerous; it can therefore be used even in closed environments and without taking
special precautions.
RECOMMENDATIONS
· Do not use Primer S for waterproofing swimming-pools and tanks);
· do not use Primer S to block rising damp from the substrate;
· do not use Primer S to waterproof floors in baths and showers;
· on very alkaline substrates, Primer S may become darker without losing its characteristics.

The substrate must be dry and clean, free of oil, grease, paint residue, loose plaster and laitance.
