- Features
- It is a Low Sheen water-based coating with excellent durability and adhesion performance.
- Surfaces primed with GP Primer and top coated with a 100% Acrylic systems perform exceptionally providing years of maintenance-free service.
- This product is non-toxic, non-flammable and faster drying year-round making applications safer and easier.
- On smooth surfaces, the additional coverage of a topcoat is increased improving economy.
- GP Primer has been developed following years of research and development to formulate an undercoat, which will adhere to a range of roofing surfaces and enhance the appearance of topcoat systems.
- GP Primer has been developed for Australian and South-East Asian environmental conditions. It provides excellent protection against biological growth including moss, lichen, mold and fungus.
- High solids to maximize filling characteristics
- Promotes excellent inter-coat adhesion
- Waterproof
- Fast drying
- Benefits
- Guaranteed surface and intercoat adhesion
- High solids for maximum film build and filler characteristics
- High degree of mold, fungus and lichen resistance
- Waterproof
- Faster drying time than conventional primer systems
- Easy application by brush, roller or airless spraying
- Ultraviolet light-resistant
- Product Highlights
Nutech Paint GP Primer is a general-purpose primer designed to adhere to a wide range of roof surfaces including smooth, glossy and rough cement roof tiles. Formulated from high-quality adhesion promoted acrylic resins GP Primer is ideally suited as a filler coat on very rough cement tiles because of its high solids content, improving the gloss appearance and coverage of all Nutech topcoats systems. GP Primer is not recommended for oxidized and powdery tiles.
Applications & Uses
- Application Area
- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Typical Applications
- GP Primer is recommended as an undercoat cement tiles, painted surfaces, new tiles.
- GP Primer is a high solids adhesion undercoat recommended for NuFlex, TileFlex and Colourfast topcoat systems.
- Domestic & multi density residential, industrial and commercial roofs where a high film build, or improved adhesion properties are required.
- Coverage
- Smooth Surface - 6m2/L per coat
- Rough Surface - 4m2/L per coat
- Note - Coverage will depend on the porosity and roughness of the surface.
- To maximize performance do not over spread.
- Substrates
Smooth, glossy and rough cement roof tiles, porous concrete and cinder block walls, lightweight concrete panels, tilt slab concrete walls, concrete render stucco and stucco-type wall finishes.
- Conditions Prior to Painting
- Only apply between 10°C and 30°C ambient air temperatures.
- Ensure no surface moisture is present prior to application.
- Consideration must be given to other climatic conditions such as wind and relative humidity.
- Do not apply topcoat until the primer is completely dry.
- Do not apply GP Primer in very cold conditions.
- Do not apply to extremely hot surfaces.
- Failure to observe these provisions may affect coating adhesion.
- Test Patch
Conduct a small test patch in an inconspicuous area to ensure adequate product performance, substrate porosity and provide an indication of the amount of product required to complete the project.
- Mixing/Thinning
- Prior to Commencement - Stir thoroughly prior to use.
- Dilution - Not recommended or required
- Application Equipment
- Airless spray (Recommended)
- Spray tip size is 523 - 525
- Brush, Roller
- Preparation
- All surfaces must be clean from moss and lichen.
- Refer to Nutech Hypo OR Nutech MossRid.
- High pressure clean using a minimum of 3000psi
- Allow surface to dry thoroughly
- Improperly prepared surfaces may result in coating failure
- Application Procedure
Prior to coating:
- In cold weather, new tile pointing must be adequately cure
- Weather conditions must be favorable as rain, moisture or dew may cause damage
- Do not apply in extreme heat
Observing dry times and application spread rates, spray apply 1 even consistent coat making sure fan pattern correctly overlaps.
- Drying Time
Ideal ambient conditions 25°C at 60% relative humidity. In cooler temperatures or high humidity, dry times will be extended.
- Touch Dry
