DESCRIPTION
P/G PRIMER is a solvent-base, two-component primer system for use with GARDOX®,
and DECK-O-SEAL®. It aids in the adhesion of joint sealants to the interfaces
of expansion joints in masonry, swimming pool decks, concrete or wood.
PACKAGING
P/G PRIMER is available in one-quart containers, packaged six per carton.
COVERAGE
Depending on the porosity of the surface and joint dimensions, one (1) quart
of P/G PRIMER will be sufficient for 5-7 gallons of sealant.
APPLICATION
Surface Preparation … Prior to application of P/G PRIMER, joint
surfaces must be structurally sound, clean, dry and free of oil, grease, dirt
and loose particles. Remove all curing compounds and form release agents from
joint surfaces. Joints must be clean of bituminous materials and bituminous-impregnated
joint fillers. All joints subject to total immersion in water MUST be primed
with P/G PRIMER. Control depth of sealant using KOOL-ROD™ backer rod from
W. R. MEADOWS.
Mixing… Components are pre-measured to exact quantities; mix all material in both containers. Pour Part A into Part B and mix thoroughly with a clean wooden or metal paddle for approximately 10 minutes. Scrape container sides and bottom for complete integration. After mixing, work life is approximatey five hours at 70° F (less at higher temperatures).
Application Method … Apply P/G PRIMER to properly prepared joint surfaces by brush, depositing a light, continuous film. Normally one coat is sufficient; however, two coats should be applied to very soft, porous surfaces. Do not over-apply. Use caution when applying in joints with backer rods. Over-application onto backer rod can cause it to shrink and dissolve. PRIMER MUST BE TACKY TO THE TOUCH AND NOT ALLOWED TO DRY WHEN APPLYING SEALANT TO JOINT. P/G PRIMER is non-staining, but should not be applied to exposed surfaces, as discoloration may become apparent. Tape joint edges if necessary.
Clean Up … Clean tools and equipment with Xylene or Toluene and remove masking tape before the sealant starts to set.
PRECAUTIONS
P/G PRIMER is a flammable product and should be kept away from all sparks, flames
and heat. Safety glasses and chemical-resistant gloves
should be worn at all times when mixing or applying the primer. Apply in a well-ventilated
area. Keep out of the reach of children. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet
for complete health and safety information.
