Why Prime Adhere?
Important Features of Prime Adhere
1. Like its name indicates, Prime Adhere adheres to almost every surface imaginable, even when other sealants can’t. Those surfaces include:
❑ Galvanized metal
❑ Kynar
❑ Concrete
❑ Masonry
❑ Brickwork
❑ Plaster
❑ Gypsum
❑ Wood
❑ Anodized aluminum
❑ Hard PVC
❑ Roofing felts
❑ Vinyl
❑ Stone
❑ And more
BE ALWAYS AWARE: In rare cases there may be an issue of surface preparation. Sometimes when working with a very smooth surface, it helps to slightly abrade them with a fine sandpaper; sometimes when the two surfaces being sealed have widely-varying temperatures and the Adhere is cool, it helps to slightly warm the Adhere first with something as with a light bulb before applying it.
2. Where other sealants commonly fail, Prime Adhere excels. Users sometimes compare Adhere to a liquid gasket. It is important to remember that Adhere is sealant, not a glue or an adhesive.
3. Prime Adhere sticks through water and oil. Common uses for Adhere include leaky gutters, metal roofs and siding, port holes and transoms and more. Adhere can be applied directly to the area of a leak with water present and it will immediately stop the leak.
4. Prime Adhere never ever loses its adhesion. Weeks, months and years later, it will still exhibit tackiness and it will still adhere to new surfaces. Uses have been known to take old Adhere initially applied years before, heat it up and use it again. We do not recommend that you do so, but it’s possible. Adhere has often been used together with oakum to seal expansion joints, much like ancient shipbuilders once used tar and white lead with oakum to seal their vessels. Users claim they have recovered old strands of oakum impregnated with Adhere and reused them! What other sealant can make such a claim?
5. Prime Adhere never loses its flexibility, no matter how much time has passed, no matter how much stress has been applied.
6. Prime Adhere is ideal to use where flexibility and movement are issues. In theory, Adhere can be stretched 1200 percent and still adhere to itself into a small, cohesive ball when compressed back to its original shape. In the case of metal roofs or metal siding, where the sealed metal surfaces expand and contract from temperature changes and stress, Adhere expands and contracts as
well, never losing its adhesion and always healing itself. It takes a catastrophic event to break Prime Adhere’s bond.
7. As long as Prime Adhere itself is kept at a temperature above 41º F, it can be applied under extreme temperature conditions, as high as 98º F and as low at 14º F. Many users report successfully applying Prime Adhere at lower temperatures than this. Our advice is, if you want to be sure, test it first.
8. Prime Adhere can be applied in a wide variety of applications.
❑ Roofing
❑ Siding
❑ Gutters
❑ Windows
❑ Vapor barriers
❑ Recreational vehicles
❑ HVAC
❑ Duct work
❑ Marine industry
❑ Hard PVC
❑ Roofing felts
❑ Vents
❑ Door jambs
❑ Flashing
❑ Plastic pipes
❑ Sky lights
9. Prime Adhere is bitumen-compatible.
10. Prime Adhere has contains neither silicates nor silicones and is paintable within one hour.
11. Prime Adhere is V.O.C-compliant (219 ppm). Many competing products have V.O.C. contents much higher than this. Prime Adhere is compliant with California Proposition 65 regulations.
12. Prime Adhere is non-toxic and far safer to use than many competing products. Some of those products are what is known as “toxic waste dumps in a tube.” Ask yourself why you would use a sealant that carries a warning label telling you that it can harm you or kill you, cause birth defects and destroy the environment when you can use non-toxic, environmentally friendly Prime Adhere instead?
13. Prime Adhere is aging-resistant. You can rely on it to go on working for 15 years or longer without suffering the normal effects of aging.
14. Prime Adhere has excellent U.V. resistance and is non-yellowing.
15. Prime Adhere can be painted within one hour.
16. Prime Adhere creates a permanent, air-tight bond.
17. Prime Adhere stops leaks on contact.
18. Prime Adhere never gets hard or brittle.
19. Prime Adhere saves money in the long run because you don’t have to return to the job site after the initial application to make repairs. “Seal it once and forget it” perfectly describes Prime Adhere.
20. Because Prime Adhere remains permanently sticky to a degree, it should not be used in exposed traffic areas or in visible areas where appearance is important.
