Rubber Roofing Primer for Flashing, Tapes & Accessories
ClassicBond EPDM Primer is a one-step cleaner and primer used to prepare EPDM rubber roofing membranes before applying pressure-sensitive tapes and accessories.
It is essential for achieving strong, long-lasting adhesion when installing:
- 9″ Uncured EPDM Flashing (Elastoform)
- 6″ Cover Tape
- 3″ Splice Tape
- Pipe Boots
- Internal & Horizontal Drains
- Walkway Pads
- All pressure-sensitive EPDM accessories
Without primer, tapes and flashing will not bond correctly to the membrane.
What This EPDM Primer Does ▸
ClassicBond EPDM Primer:
- Cleans the membrane surface
- Prepares EPDM for pressure-sensitive products
- Improves tape and flashing adhesion
- Promotes strong seam performance
- Reduces the risk of splice failure
It is designed specifically for use with ClassicBond EPDM systems and pressure-sensitive accessories.
Important: What This Primer Is NOT For ▸
This primer:
- Must not be used to bond membrane to membrane without splice tape
- Is not a deck adhesive
- Should not be thinned
It is used only as part of a correct EPDM seam or flashing detail.
How It’s Applied (Simple Overview) ▸
- Remove dirt and debris from the membrane surface
- Stir primer thoroughly (minimum 5 minutes recommended)
- Apply a thin, even coat to the membrane only
- Avoid puddles or excessive application
- Allow to dry until it does not transfer to a dry finger touch
- Install splice tape or flashing immediately after flashing off
Using more primer than required does not improve adhesion - full, even coverage is what matters.
