ANQA Primer D41: Enhance Adhesion for Waterproofing Like Never Before

Before you begin any waterproofing project, proper preparation is key. That’s where ANQA Primer D41, a solvent-based bituminous primer, makes all the difference. Designed to provide exceptional adhesion between substrates and bituminous membranes, it’s the ultimate tool to ensure the durability and performance of your waterproofing system. Whether you’re working with concrete, masonry, or metal surfaces, ANQA Primer D41 sets the stage for a reliable, long-lasting bond.

Let’s explore how ANQA Primer D41 transforms waterproofing projects by improving surface quality and ensuring flawless adhesion.

Why Choose ANQA Primer D41?

When it comes to waterproofing, the base you start with determines the quality of the finished result. ANQA Primer D41 offers unmatched benefits to prepare your substrates for the next layers.

1. Enhanced Adhesion

• Creates a strong bond between the substrate and bituminous membranes or coatings, ensuring a consistent and durable waterproofing layer.

2. Versatile Applications

• Suitable for various substrates, including concrete, masonry, and metal, making it ideal for diverse projects.

3. Fast Drying Time

• Dries quickly (touch dry in 2–4 hours), allowing for efficient and seamless application of subsequent layers.

4. Seals Porous Surfaces

• Penetrates and seals porous substrates, reducing dust and creating a smoother, more consistent base.

5. Durable and Weather Resistant

• Provides resistance to moisture and environmental factors, protecting the substrate and waterproofing layers for longer-lasting performance.

Applications of ANQA Primer D41

ANQA Primer D41 is a multi-purpose bituminous primer that can be used in a wide range of projects. Here’s where it excels:

1. Substrate Preparation

Before applying waterproofing layers, use ANQA Primer D41 to prepare the surface by sealing pores and improving adhesion:

• Concrete Roofs: Ensures waterproofing membranes adhere securely.
• Basements and Walls: This creates a stable base for damp-proofing layers.

2. Sealant Base

Acts as a reliable primer before applying bituminous coatings or membranes, improving their performance and longevity.

3. Rust Protection for Metal Surfaces

ANQA Primer D41 can also be used on metal substrates to create a protective layer that reduces corrosion and ensures a strong bond.

Technical Specifications

Here’s a quick breakdown of the technical details you need to know about ANQA Primer D41:

• Packaging: 18-liter containers.
• Color: Black.
• Coverage: Approximately 6–8 m²/liter, depending on the porosity of the substrate.
• Drying Time:
  • Touch Dry: 2–4 hours.
  • Fully Cured: 24 hours (depending on temperature and humidity).
• Shelf Life: 12 months in sealed containers when stored in a cool, dry place.

How to Apply ANQA Primer D41

Using ANQA Primer D41 is straightforward, but following the correct application process is critical for achieving optimal results:

Step 1: Surface Preparation

• Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose particles.
• Repair any cracks, gaps, or imperfections using appropriate fillers.

Step 2: Stir and Apply

• Stir the primer thoroughly before use to ensure a uniform consistency.
• Apply the primer evenly using a brush, roller, or spray, ensuring complete coverage across the surface.

Step 3: Allow to Dry

• Let the primer dry for 2–4 hours (touch dry) before applying the next layer.
• Ensure the surface is fully cured within 24 hours before applying bituminous membranes or coatings.

Step 4: Reapply If Necessary

• If the primed surface is left exposed for more than 24 hours, reapply the primer to maintain adhesion performance.

Advantages of ANQA Primer D41

Using ANQA Primer D41 brings numerous advantages to your waterproofing projects:

• Improves Waterproofing System Lifespan: Strengthens the bond between the substrate and subsequent waterproofing layers.
• Time-Saving: Fast drying time allows you to complete projects more efficiently.
• Adaptability: Works well on multiple surfaces, including porous and smooth substrates.
• Durable Protection: Enhances the substrate’s resistance to moisture, rust, and environmental wear.

Tips for Best Results

To get the most out of ANQA Primer D41, keep these tips in mind:

• Temperature Matters: Apply in dry weather and at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C for best results.
• Avoid Overapplication: Use just enough primer to cover the surface evenly—avoid pooling.
• Storage: Keep the container sealed when not in use and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

FAQs About ANQA Primer D41

1. Can ANQA Primer D41 be used on damp surfaces?
No, the substrate must be clean and dry for the primer to adhere properly.

2. How long after applying the primer can I apply bituminous membranes?
You can apply the membranes once the primer is touch dry (2–4 hours), but ensure the surface is fully cured within 24 hours.

3. Is ANQA Primer D41 suitable for metal surfaces?
Yes, it works well on metal surfaces, providing protection against rust and ensuring a strong bond for waterproofing layers.

4. What tools are needed for the application?
ANQA Primer D41 can be applied with a brush, roller, or spray, depending on the size and type of surface.

5. What should I do if the primer is left exposed for more than 24 hours?
If the primed surface is exposed for an extended period, reapply the primer before proceeding with subsequent waterproofing layers.
