Bitumen primers "TechnoNIKOL": types, characteristics and consumption

One of the main characteristics of a building material, which excites both a simple man in the street and professionals, is value for money. Bitumen primers "TechnoNIKOL" prove that the goods at an affordable price can fully comply with the accepted norms of the state standard.

When carrying out any repair procedures it is important to use quality materials. Such an approach to business will save you from various problems that may be encountered in the future. In the Russian construction market, TekhnoNIKOL bitumen primers firmly occupy their niche.

The brand is recognizable in the construction industry, and its products are often used for large-scale work.And it is excellent for eliminating defects in small rooms. This is due to the fact that the production of this product uses only high-quality oil pitches.

The main feature of such primers is that they are ideally suited for waterproofing works on roofs, technical structures and structures. It is important that the technoNICOL bituminous primers can be used at different temperatures. What is especially important in our climatic zone is due to frequently changing weather conditions.

Primers are used in the preparation of an insulated base before mounting the deposited materials. Their use contributes to better adhesion of waterproofing to the base. It is noteworthy that if you apply a bituminous primer on a layer of dust or sand, then together they will create an anti-adhesive layer. In this case, the "remove" waterproofing is not difficult.

It is worth remembering that the primer fills the pores and forms a hydrophobic film. This prevents water from entering the surface of the screed and reliably protects it.The product as an adhesive connects the solution and increases its strength. Therefore, priming the surface eliminates the separation of the waterproofing carpet in strong winds.

There are several types of bituminous primers "TechnoNIKOL", each of which is suitable for use under certain conditions.

Universal primers are highly valued with the ability to use both at home and on the street. These include primer bitumen "TechnoNICOL 01". On the shelves of building stores this product is presented in ready-made form. Does not require additional manipulations before starting work, the solution should only be thoroughly mixed.

In the passport bitumen primer "TechnoNicol 01" presents the following characteristics:

• as part of only organic solvents, they are not hazardous to health;

• homogeneous mass, without inclusions;
• important operational quality - excellent penetrating property;
• heat resistant;
• dries quickly enough for 10-12 hours;
• small amount of non-volatile substances;
• softening temperature - above 80 degrees Celsius.

TechnoNIKOL bitumen primers have a number of advantages over their analogues:

• soft application (can be applied with a nylon brush or roller, then the primer penetrates into all hard-to-reach places);
• durable material setting;
• high hydrophobicity;
• possesses anticorrosive properties (can be applied to metal - prevents the appearance of rust);
• no stickiness effect;
• resistant to negative temperatures, so you can perform work at any time of the year.

Before using the bituminous primer, read the safety precautions:

• Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• use best in well ventilated areas;
• It is forbidden to work close to sources of fire.

There are two possible forms of release "TechnoNIKOL 01": ready-to-use solution and concentrate. It should be diluted with a solvent in proportions from 1 to 1.5 to 1 to 2. It is possible to use kerosene, white spirit or gasoline. It is sold in metal Euro-style models of 20 liters each (16 kilograms) and 50 liters (40 kilograms). The price of a 20-liter bucket varies from 1,700 to 2,000 rubles, that is, approximately 86 rubles per liter.

The primer bituminous emulsion "TechnoNIKOL 04" has enhanced physical and technical characteristics. Unlike other compounds, the base contains a water emulsion of petroleum bitumen, converted by technological additives. There are no solvents in the composition.

The product has several advantages over other primers presented in one line:

• the solution is ready to use;
• has a neutral smell, suitable for use in residential premises;

• non-combustible, as it has a water base, eliminates the possibility of fire, even near sources of fire;
• reduces time and financial costs;
• dries within an hour at a temperature of 20 ° C;
• guarantees durable adhesion of the waterproofing coating to the base;
• It is recommended to use in conditions from +5 to + 40 ° С.

The primer bituminous emulsion is suitable for:

• performing preparatory work indoors;
• for priming concrete, cement-sand and other surfaces before laying self-adhesive, built-up waterproofing materials.

The release form is a 20-liter (18 kg) metal Eurostone. Price range - from 1500 to 2500 rubles.

TechnoNICOL 03 is a bitumen-polymer based primer. This means that the composition, in addition to petroleum pitches, includes polymers and adhesive impurities in organic solvents.

Scope of application - priming of the surface of metal and concrete pavements before waterproofing, priming of cement-sand and other surfaces prior to the start of laying-up, self-adhesive and waterproofing materials.

Before the labeling of the rolled material, the huge surfaces of the bridge undergo a long, very expensive sandblasting process, due to which some of the area may oxidize. Priming helps to prevent this. "TechnoNIKOL 03" due to the special solvent entering into its structure dries out almost instantly.Forms a film, and it protects the surface of the bridge from corrosion. When performing construction work time plays a very important role.

And the quick-drying bitumen-polymer primer sometimes just needs to be on hand. Another advantage of the product is that it can be used indoors. Recommended for use in regions with a large amplitude of temperature fluctuations. This product can be used at any time of the year. When working with a bitumen-polymer primer indoors, it is important to remember that it must be well ventilated and ventilated.

In the passport of the product the following technical characteristics are indicated:

• a small amount of non-volatile substances (within 25-30%);
• viscosity in the range of 10-30 seconds;
• drying time of the layer at an average temperature of 20 ° C is not more than 10 minutes;
• You can perform work at temperatures from -20 to + 40 ° C;
• ready for operation, does not require additional dilution with anything;

• perfectly protects against corrosion;
• increases the reliability of adhesion with the base;
• if the work will be carried out at + 5 ° С, the composition should be kept in a warm room for at least one day.

Do not forget about the precautions:

• Do not use in close proximity to sources of fire;
• avoid contact with skin and eyes, otherwise it is mandatory to consult a specialist.

The release form is a 20-liter (16 kilograms) metal eurobag. The price of bitumen-polymer primer "TechnoNICOL 03" ranges from 3,000 to 4,000 rubles. On average - 157 rubles a liter or 197 rubles per kilogram. The primer AquaMast has similar properties with TechnoNICOL 03. The scope is the same as that of the bitumen-polymer primer. Composition: solution of oil pitch in specially selected organic solvents. But, in addition to roll waterproofing, it is also suitable for coating. It has a large penetrating property and a short drying time.

It is possible to work at a temperature from -10 to + 40 ° С. As in the case of "TechnoNIKOL 03" when used in conditions below + 5 ° C, it is worth keeping it warm for at least one day. Unlike the bitumen-polymer primer, AquaMast can not be used indoors.Due to this drawback, the product loses significantly to other products in its lineup.

Physical and mechanical characteristics:

• black mass without inclusions;
• viscosity - 15-40 seconds;
• at a temperature of + 20 ° C dries no less than 12-18 hours;
• release form - metal buckets of 3, 10 and 18 liters;
• in the case of buying the concentrate, it is worth diluting with one of the following solvents: toluene, solvent or white spirit.

Safety precautions when working with bitumen primer AquaMast is similar, only it, unlike other formulations, can be washed off with a solvent. Price - in the range from 1000 to 1800 rubles. In addition to the bitumen primer AquaMast, there is also a mastic with a similar name and properties. First consider the differences.

• Mastic is used for coating waterproofing of metal, wood, concrete and reinforced concrete structures that are buried in the ground and come into contact with moisture, for example, piles.
• The product is a ready-made solution based on bituminous pitches, but with technological additives, mineral fillers and solvents. Can be used indoors.
• Drying time - 24 hours, it is waterproof and resilient.It is possible to use in work no more than three hours after opening.

The rest is similar to a bituminous primer. The release form is identical to the AquaMast primer.

Operating procedure:

• clean the surface before applying mastic;
• if the base is porous, treat with AquaMast primer;
• apply mastic in 2 layers;
• the surface is dry when the sticky layer disappears;
• waterproofing to protect the plates of expanded polystyrene.

Precautions and storage conditions are similar to AquaMast bitumen primer. Price range - from 1000 to 1500 rubles.

Primer consumption is different. This is due to the different viscosities of the products. Bituminous primer "TenenIKOL 01", bitumen-emulsion primer "TechnoNIKOL 04", as well as primer and mastic AquaMast in finished form are consumed in equal proportions: 0.25-0.35 l per 1 m2. It turns out that 1 liter of product is enough for 3.33 m² of base. For convenience, when buying, you should expect that a 20-liter bucket will be enough for 60-80 m² of the surface area to be treated.

But the bitumen-polymer primer "TenenICOL 04" is consumed as follows: 0.2-0.3 l / m². It turns out that 1 liter is enough for 4 m². In this case, a 20-liter bucket or 16 kilograms will be enough for 65-85 m². These are excellent indicators, given the value of the goods.Its small consumption significantly reduces the costs when working on large areas.

The purpose of the primer is to block the pores of the material, smoothing small roughness and irregularities. Used for initial processing and better setting of waterproofing with the base. This product is used for roofing, flooring and basement processing. Often, emulsion primers are used to gloss over surfaces in rooms where air humidity is high, for example, in the bathroom and in the kitchen.

These recommendations are drawn up by the manufacturer and professional builders.

• Before work it is necessary to clean the surface on which the primer will be applied from dirt and dust.
• It is necessary to part a concentrate in proportions 1: 1.5 or 1: 2.Recommended solvents are listed on each product: from gasoline and kerosene to toluene and white spirit.
• Primers should not be applied with a foam roller, since the solvents that make up the product destroy this material.
• Before starting work, the primer should be mixed, you can use a low-speed drill with a special nozzle.

• Maximum application thickness - from 0.5 to 1.5 mm, depending on the selected product.
• When working with a primer on vertical surfaces, it is advisable to use a spray gun; on large horizontal areas, the method of spilling and leveling with a squeegee is allowed.
• The product can be used after the expiration date, but it should be borne in mind that its quality and physico-mechanical characteristics will decrease dramatically.
• It is advisable to work in equipment or just with gloves and glasses in order to avoid unpleasant consequences.
