Dulux Roofshield Primer A579-10611 (Solventborne)

Dulux Roofshield Primer is a solventbased vinyl-toluene acrylate primer which improves Roofshield adhesion on weathered tiles. Weathered roof tiles are often friable and chalky even after cleaning by scrubbing or high pressure water jetting. Unless properly cleaned before painting, the paint will often flake on aging due to these dirty and weak substrates.

USAGE
Suitable for priming cleaned clay, cement, concrete and terracotta tiles.
Roofshield paint system is not recommended for glazed tiles. However, it can be used on old tiles which have lost the glazed film.

BENEFITS
Good adhesion to cleaned powdery substrate.
Good penetration to improve binding.
Deep colour ensures easy recoatibility with Roofshield.

PACK SIZE 5 litres.

COLOUR RANGE Grey only.
