Specification data - Liquid-applied inverted roof covering systems

Preparation

-

Horizontal work

Pro-Prime® Bitumen.

Pro-Prime® bitumen is a low viscosity, high penetration, cold-applied bituminous solution designed to prime and seal porous roof surfaces before the application of bituminous materials. Proteus Pro-Prime® Bitumen seals porous substrates and promotes the adhesion of bituminous waterproofing systems and sheet coverings.

Cold Melt® DPM.
