Introduction to Isopol Waterproofing Primer
Epoxy primers are an essential component in insulation and coating systems, serving as a preparatory layer before applying final coatings. The Isopol Epoxy Primer, specifically EF10, is a two-component system based on epoxy resin and polyamine hardener. This primer provides excellent adhesion to various surfaces, including concrete, metals, galvanized steel, and aluminum, ensuring superior bonding of the final layer to the substrate.
One of the key advantages of EF10 Primer is its high resistance to corrosion, moisture, and chemicals. It is particularly suitable for surfaces exposed to temperature fluctuations and harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, EF10 Primer is approved for use in metal tanks, coastal facilities, pipelines, and aluminum structures.
This primer does not require neutralization for application on new concrete surfaces and can be easily applied. Moreover, its resistance to waterproofing, corrosion, and alkaline substances further enhances its performance.

Application Method for Isopol Primer
The application process of Isopol Primer is outlined in the following steps. Read on for a comprehensive guide:
Step 1: Surface Preparation
Before applying the primer, the mosaic (tile or ceramic) surface must be thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt or residue. This may require pressure washing or even grinding. The surface must be free of grease, dust, or any contaminants before priming. Since the quality of roof waterproofing depends on the substrate’s condition, weak, loose, or uneven surfaces are unsuitable for insulation.
Step 2: Pre-Application Checks and Recommendations
- Avoid applying Isopol Primer at temperatures below 15°C or during rainy days.
- Store the primer above 5°C to prevent freezing.
- Ensure the stored materials do not freeze.
- The primer can be applied using a spray gun, roller, or brush.
- The ideal ambient and surface temperature for application is between 20°C and 30°C.
Step 3: Preparation of Materials and Tools
Gather the necessary materials and tools before starting the application:
Required Materials:
- WP30 Primer
- WP80, WP90, P100, or P40 undercoat materials (if needed)
Essential Tools:
- Putty knife for filling cracks
- Roller with a handle
- Paintbrush
Additional Tools:
- Hand broom
- Mixer for blending primer materials
- Gloves for safety
- Containers for mixing the components
Step 4: Application Process
For Concrete Surfaces:
✓ On non-oily concrete surfaces, washing with water and dust removal is sufficient before applying Isopol Primer. The surface should be thoroughly washed and completely dried before application. (Do not apply on damp or oily surfaces.) ✓ Allow Isopol Primer to dry for 5 hours under direct sunlight at temperatures above 25°C before applying the next layer (colored Isopol). ✓ Hairline cracks should be repaired using P40 two-component sealer, if necessary. ✓ Parapets and joints should be reinforced with WP80 – 801 undercoat, if required. ✓ After preparing the surface, apply WP30 Isopol Primer.
For Metal Surfaces:
✓ Before applying Isopol Primer, clean the metal and galvanized surfaces thoroughly with OP30 degreasing solution and let it sit for three hours. (Preferably, warm OP30 solution should be used.) ✓ Rinse with warm water and let the surface dry completely before applying the primer. ✓ Allow 5 hours of drying time under direct sunlight at temperatures above 25°C before applying the next layer (colored Isopol).
