Properties and Effects of Bituminous Emulsion Primer ZW24

The properties and effects of Bituminous Emulsion Primer ZW24 are as follows:

• Improved adhesion: Enhances the adhesion of subsequent layers (paint, waterproofing, mortar, etc.) to the substrate and prevents coating detachment.
• Good penetration: Penetrates deep into porous surfaces, increasing substrate strength and integrity while reducing water absorption.
• Easy application: Thanks to its water-based composition and suitable viscosity, it spreads easily over surfaces and dries quickly.
• Compatible with various surfaces: Can be used on concrete, plaster, cement, and mineral surfaces.
• Reduces paint or waterproofing consumption: Uniform absorption of the substrate decreases the quantity of final coatings required.
• Non-toxic and odorless: Free from harmful substances and low in volatile organic compounds (VOC), making it ideal for indoor projects and enclosed spaces.
• Increases durability and service life of surfaces: Prevents peeling, blistering, and cracking of final coatings.
• Alkali-resistant: Offers high resistance to alkaline materials in building substrates such as concrete or plaster.
• Washable: Once fully dry, the primed surface becomes largely washable.
• Surface protection: Acts as a primary protective layer against moisture penetration and many chemical damages.

Applications of Bituminous Emulsion Primer ZW24

Before explaining its uses, it is worth noting that Zarloo Shimi is one of the most reputable suppliers of bituminous emulsion primers in Iran. To purchase, simply visit their website and order the desired quantity.

Applications include:

• Surface preparation before painting: Serves as a primer before applying various building paints on concrete, plaster, cement, and brick surfaces to improve paint adhesion and durability.
• Underlayer for waterproof coatings: Used as the base layer on bathrooms, restrooms, terraces, and rooftops before applying water-based or polymer waterproofing materials.
• Base layer before epoxy and polyurethane coatings: Improves adhesion for mortars and industrial paints on floors and walls in industrial and commercial spaces.
• Strengthening and improving surface durability: Reduces water absorption, prevents chalking, and prepares weak or powdery plastered surfaces.
• For renovation projects: Improves adhesion of new materials on old or damaged surfaces.
• Before applying mortar or tile adhesive: Used as a primer to enhance adhesion on various surfaces.

Safety and Storage Instructions

While working with this product, observe the following:

• Always wear appropriate gloves and safety goggles. In case of skin or eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor if necessary.
• Although it is odorless and free of harmful substances, ensure proper ventilation in enclosed spaces and use a mask if you have respiratory sensitivities.
• Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking while working with the primer, and keep it out of the reach of children.
• Even though it is water-based and non-flammable, do not store near heat sources or open flames.
• Store between 5°C and 35°C, away from frost and direct sunlight.
• Keep in original, tightly closed containers to prevent drying or contamination.
• Pay attention to the expiration date on the packaging and avoid using expired products.

Consumption Rate

Consumption depends on the type and porosity of the surface, environmental conditions, and application method, but is typically 200–300 g/m². Very porous or highly absorbent surfaces may require more primer for uniform coverage. For optimal results, test a small area first to determine the exact consumption. This approach optimizes primer usage and ensures the quality and durability of the final coating.

Enhancing Surface Quality and Durability with ZW24

Overall, Bituminous Emulsion Primer ZW24’s exceptional performance in improving adhesion, reducing permeability, and boosting surface durability makes it a smart choice for preparing diverse building surfaces before painting, waterproofing, or sealing. Using this primer not only reduces maintenance costs and extends the life of final coatings, but also guarantees the quality and longevity of construction projects—ensuring peace of mind and higher execution standards.
