Acriflex Primer is a water-based impregnating primer for asbestos-cement surfaces. One coat soaks in and binds the fibres to prevent them from becoming airborne, which is the required first step before encapsulating a roof or wall with Acriflex Pro or Acriflex Rapido. Roller or airless, 0.10–0.15 kg/m², dry in about an hour. Encapsulation work must follow current regulations.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Acriflex Primer used for?
    It's a water-based primer designed to seal and stabilize asbestos-cement surfaces, preventing fiber dispersion during encapsulation or removal.

    Can it be used alone?
    Yes, for one encapsulation type:

    • Type D – Auxiliary: Acriflex Primer on its own, with no waterproofing coat over it.

    For Type A, B, and C interventions (visible outside, visible inside, or not visible), Acriflex Primer should be followed by Acriflex X-Pro or Acriflex Rapido for full waterproofing and long-term protection.

    Do I need it for asbestos encapsulation?
    Yes. Every declared encapsulation type starts with one coat of Acriflex Primer to fix the fibres.

    Is it breathable?
    Yes. It’s declared vapour-permeable, Class I under EN 1504-2.

    How is it applied?
    One coat, by roller or airless sprayer, until the surface is fully impregnated.
