Detailed characteristics of the Izoplast R primer and Izoplast B mastic

In this article, we will take a closer look at the applications, technical characteristics and advantages of Izoplast R bitumen-rubber primer and Izoplast B bitumen-rubber mastic.

A distinctive feature of these emulsions is that they work best in tandem. To be more precise, the use of Izoplast R primer before applying Izoplast B mastic significantly increases the adhesion of Izoplast B to the substrate, as well as enhances the waterproofing properties of the emulsion by an order of magnitude.

But let's go back to what Izoplast R and Izoplast B are separately.


Izoplast R is a bitumen primer for priming mineral surfaces, creating thin insulating coatings. To protect metal and wooden elements.


 

Izoplast R has the following advantages:

  • Resistance to weak acids and salts.
  • High penetrating power.
  • High adhesion to the substrate.

The scope of application of Izoplast R:

  • For priming the base before applying Izoplast B waterproofing.
  • To ensure corrosion protection of metal structures and elements.
  • For impregnation and protection of wooden elements (fences, poles, etc.)
  • To create a thin waterproofing layer.

Surface preparation:

Before applying, it is necessary to clean the surface from dust, oil and other contaminants. Metal surfaces must be cleaned of rust, old paint and grease.

Method of application:

  • Mix thoroughly before application.
  • Apply in one thin layer when priming concrete surfaces.
  • In 2-3 layers when applying waterproofing.
  • In 2 layers to protect metal surfaces.

 

IZOPLAST R is applied using a roofing brush, roller, brush with stiff bristles or spray, spreading evenly over the application surface. The next layer of IZOPLAST R should be applied after the previous layer has dried. The approximate drying time of one layer is no more than 6 hours.

Izoplast R Primer consumption:

IZOPLAST R consumption when applied to concrete surfaces: the first layer of anticorrosive protection of metal surfaces ranges from 0.3 l/m2 to 0.6/m2. For the second and subsequent layers, when applying anticorrosive protection of metal surfaces, the consumption of the primer solution ranges from 0.2 l/m2 to 0.5 l/m2.

Transportation and storage:

Store in tightly closed original packaging, out of reach of children, protected from direct sunlight, heat sources and open flames. It can be transported by any type of transport. Shelf life is 12 months in the closed original packaging.

Warnings for the use of Izoplast R:
Work with IZOPLAST R should be carried out in calm weather without precipitation at ambient temperatures from 5 ° C to 25 ° C. When performing work, follow the safety rules when working with organic solvents, using effective ventilation and masks with an organic vapor absorber. Do not use IZOPLAST R inside residential and public buildings, as well as in other areas intended for permanent residence and people. The material must not come into direct contact with food or drinking water. The product is flammable. Irritates eyes and skin. Vapours can cause feelings of drowsiness and dizziness. Do not inhale fumes. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use only in well-ventilated areas.


Izoplast B is a black bitumen mastic based on an organic solvent with special additives. It has high penetrating properties. To create highly resistant waterproofing coatings.


 

Advantages of Izoplast B:

  • It covers all microcracks in the base.
  • It is used for roofing of any slope.
  • For industrial and residential construction.
  • Resistance to weak acids and salts.
  • Seamless waterproofing of vertical and horizontal surfaces.

Scope of application:

  • Waterproofing of pipes, sewer wells, concrete rings, pumping stations.
  • Waterproofing of concrete foundations, screeds, fences, columns and supports.
  • Waterproofing with high resistance to aggressive environment.
  • Conservation and waterproofing of the roof.

Surface preparation:

Before applying, it is necessary to clean the surface from dust, oil and other impurities. Metal surfaces must be cleaned of rust, old paint, grease, etc. Prime concrete surfaces with IZOPLAST R primer solution and wait for it to dry completely.

The method of application of Izoplast B:

Mix thoroughly before use. Apply the mass using a roofing brush or brush. Apply the next layer perpendicular to the previous one and only after it is completely dry. The waiting time before laying the second layer of IZOPLAST B waterproofing compound is about 8 hours.

Consumption:

When waterproofing foundations and other underground parts of a building: apply 2-3 coats to a dry primed concrete surface, depending on the expected water load. The approximate consumption of IZOPLAST B in this case ranges from 0.8 kg/m2 to 1.2 kg/m2 per layer.

Restoration and arrangement of a seamless waterproofing coating of roofs: apply at least 2 layers of emulsion to the prepared substrate.

Transportation and storage:

Store in tightly closed original packaging, inaccessible to children, protected from direct sunlight, heat sources and open flames. It can be transported by any type of transport. Shelf life is 12 months in the closed original packaging.

Warnings for use:

Work with IZOPLAST should be carried out in calm weather without precipitation at ambient temperatures from 5 ° C to 25 ° C. When performing work, follow the safety rules when working with organic solvents, using effective ventilation and masks with an organic vapor absorber. Do not use IZOPLAST inside residential and public buildings, as well as in other areas intended for permanent residence and people. The material must not come into direct contact with food or drinking water. The product is flammable. Irritates eyes and skin. Vapours can cause feelings of drowsiness and dizziness. Do not inhale fumes. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Use only in well-ventilated areas.


Based on the above, we can safely conclude that Izoplast R and Izoplast B bitumen-rubber mastics are quite high-tech products that are simply indispensable for waterproofing foundations and roofing works.

The combined use of Izoplast R primer and Izoplast B mastic will provide a comprehensive waterproofing solution and significantly enhance the already impressive characteristics of each of these products.
