ATM Removable Primer is a high solids content primer designed to provide a moisture barrier on concrete and asphalt surfaces. This Primer is intended to be used in combination with ATM 200 highway tape, ATM MaxVision 200 highway tape and ATM Temporary Rumble strip. Primer should be used when rain or high moisture levels are present or expected within 24 hours of highway tape installation. ATM Removable Primer is always recommended for temporary applications of ATM Rumble strip.
Specifications
Each batch is tested to assure compliance with stringent ATM quality control specifications for Viscosity and percent solids.
