Repcoat Primer
Silane/siloxane based hydrophobic primer
DESCRIPTION
TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Repcoat Primer is a penetrating and film forming
hydrophobic silane/siloxane based primer. It is used as a Specific gravity: 0.90 ± 0.05
primer for Repcoat acrylic based protective coating. When Solids content: 16 ± 1%
applied, it reacts with concrete and masonry surfaces
producing a clear hydrophobic barrier that prevents the Viscosity: 10 - 20 cP @ 25oC
passage of water and hence protects exposed reinforced
concrete structures from attack by chloride ions.
STORAGE
ADVANTAGES
Repcoat Primer should be stored under cover at an
ambient temperature range of 10oC and 25°C.
» Deep penetration into substrate.
» Very good reduction of water and chloride intrusion.
» Breathable, allows for water vapour release. SHELF LIFE
METHOD OF USE Repcoat Primer has a shelf life of 12 months from date of
manufacture if stored in proper conditions and sealed

substrates.
For further information refer to the Material Safety Data
Sheet.
Repcoat Primer can be overcoated as soon as it becomes
tack-free, this can be achieved within 1 - 2 hours,
depending on ambient conditions. FIRE
CLEANING Repcoat Primer is flammable. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Do not use near a naked flame and do not smoke during
use.
Tools and equipment can be cleaned with DCP-
solvent when wet. Hardened materials must be cleaned
mechanically. Flash point: > 36oC.
