      About LIBERTY™ Asphalt Primer

      LIBERTY™ Asphalt Primer is a foundation coating that promotes an excellent bond for all types of asphalt-based roofing materials, such as LIBERTY™ SBS Self-Adhering Base/Ply Sheet & Cap Sheet.

      The right foundation for a variety of roof systems and materials

      Create a strong bond for masonry roofs, walls, or floors prior to the use of asphalt cutback adhesives or application of hot-mopped or cold-applied built-up roofing materials.

      Excellent Penetration

      The primer penetrates deeply to create a deep, durable bond for coating and adhesives.

      Strength and Flexibility

      Tenacious bonding accommodates temperature-related expansion and contraction of the roof system.

      Easy Application

      Brush, roll, or spray this primer that also maintains excellent low-temperature flexibility.
