Abstract
A low VOC cleaner/primer for EPDM and butyl roofing and waterproofing membranes. Highly volatile solvents are replaced with a carefully chosen petroleum oil and a blend of hydrocarbon resin and partially cross-linked halo-butyl rubber. The cleaner/primer contains halo-butyl rubber, a high softening point resin tackifier, a low viscosity, high volatility petroleum oil and a curing agent. When applied to a dust covered membrane the cleaner/primer effectively displaces dust and leaves behind a primer film which is conducive to adhesive bonding by either splicing tape or solvent based adhesive. When applied in a thin coating to metal surfaces the cleaner/primer effectively primes the metal to enhance the adhesion of butyl rubber based splicing tape or solvent based butyl adhesives.
