Improves adhesion to EPDM for longer roof protection. Its neutral pH formulation is non-corrosive, user friendly and has no special handling requirements. The use of EPDM Primer is required for product warranties before applying all KM acrylic coatings.
- Application Instructions
Surface Preparation:
Existing roof systems to be visually inspected for conditions that may adversely affect adhesion of performance of newly installed products. Repair any visible deficiencies such as splitting, blistering, and buckling. Visually inspect all metal and non-metal flashings, edges, drains, valleys, and through-roof penetrations and repair as needed by project conditions. Contact KM Coatings Technical Services for clarification of unusual surfaces or project conditions.
Application:
Stir well prior to application. Apply EPDM Primer via a sprayer (Hudson-type agricultural, conventional pressure, or airless) at an application rate of 500 square feet/gallon using a 3–4 foot arc pattern. Allow EPDM Primer to stand for a minimum of 15 minutes. Agitate the EPDM primer with a broom. Rinse the EPDM with a commercial power washer (between 2000–3500 psi). When rinsing the EPDM, it should be done slowly and in close proximity to surface in order to remove mica and inorganic release agents. Execute a secondary rinse thoroughly with power washer. The rinse step may be done at a faster pace than the cleaning step. The final rinse water should be clear with no soap bubbles present. The EPDM will range from muddy brown to black after washing with EPDM Primer. When the surface is dry, coating can begin. Do not thin product.
