NEXLER BITFLEX Primer — quick-drying bituminous primer, 22 kg

Properly installed waterproofing protects parts of a building where repairing leaks later can be costly and difficult. Foundations, basement walls and roofs need materials suited to their exposure to water and moisture. SteelProfil offers bitumen-rubber compounds, primers and thick waterproofing coatings. These products provide protection during new construction and when refurbishing existing building elements, provided the selected system matches the application.

Waterproofing materials form a layer that limits moisture or water entering the structure. They protect elements that are often difficult to access once construction is complete. On foundation walls, continuity of the barrier and careful treatment of corners and service penetrations are particularly important. Well-planned protection helps prevent damp, damage to finishes and expensive excavation around foundations.

Product selection depends on ground and water conditions and the type of substrate. Damp proofing and protection against water under pressure have different requirements. Polymer-modified bituminous thick coatings, also known as PMBC or KMB, can provide a flexible barrier for suitable applications when correctly installed. Choose a material for its stated purpose: not every black bituminous compound provides the same level of protection.

Liquid-applied compounds make it easier to protect areas with complex shapes. Connections, corners and other details can be treated without cutting large sheets to fit. Selected products are also suitable for refurbishing bituminous roof coverings. Surface preparation, application conditions and the finished layer thickness specified in the material documentation are essential.

A primer prepares the substrate for the next stage and helps achieve the required adhesion. Priming alone is not a complete waterproofing system. Where the coating meets thermal insulation, select a product compatible with that insulation. Include the primer, main coating and detailing materials in the same order so every component suits the chosen system.

SteelProfil helps you assemble the waterproofing materials needed for your planned work. Many materials are available from stock, making it easier to keep construction moving. Our wider range also includes insulation and building materials in first and second grade. We select construction chemicals and quantities according to their intended use, required coverage and application conditions.

Frequent promotions and favourable prices help you protect the building without losing control of costs. Tell us the area to be treated, substrate type and expected water exposure. We can compare available options and establish the number of packs required. A sound purchase covers the whole protection system, including details and subsequent measures to prevent damage to the waterproofing.
