Where to use it

Aquabond plaster primer can be used on all types of building surfaces e.g. smooth plasters and mortars, cementitious or lime-based, timber, glass, stone, metal substrates, polystyrene and cork insulating panels, plasterboard, tiled surfaces (unglazed), slated or bituminous membranes. It can be used internally and externally.

Aquabond breathable primer may also be used on painted surfaces if the next coat will be a normal thickness paint (i.e. not a thick textured coating). 

What it does

Diasen Aquabond is an adhesive primer with added aggregate granules.  It can be used as a component of the Diathonite system to ensure adhesion of Diathonite over smooth surfaces. When Aquabond dries, it provides a semi-smooth (gritty) surface.

How it works

The aggregates act as a bonding agent in order to provide excellent adhesion between the surface being primed and the covering material. The breathable primer provides an excellent key for all Diasen plasters.  

Aquabond is a liquid material of a light green colour. It is easily diluted with clean water (typically 5% added water) and can be applied by brush or roll in one coat.  Drying time is 30 mins at 20°C and 40% relative humidity.  More coats can be applied, if necessary, once the first coat is dry.

This plaster primer has low vapour resistance and retains the breathability of the wall. It is water based and in combination with Diathonite plasters it provides a suitable system for new-builds and retrofits, including Heritage and Listed buildings.

Why we love it

This plaster primer is a water-based natural material, is solvent free and non-toxic. It dries quickly so the application of the next material is not delayed.
