TREMGard HB

• TREMGard H/P Primer is required:
  • When the surface of the substrate is between 90°F - 120°F (32°C – 49°C)
  • For denser concrete surfaces such as precast and poured in place
  • Primarily used for EIFS and previously painted masonry
• TREMGard Masonry Primer is recommended:
  • For use on porous concrete for performance and aesthetic purposes
    • Fills in small defects and substrate imperfections
    • Decreases the amount of material soaked into porous surfaces
  • For use on porous concrete as a block filler, primarily on CMU, brick, and stucco
• Primer is required when the pH of the substrate is greater than 12. All of the primers will act as a buffer to higher alkaline substrates and help prevent coating “burn out”
• An adhesion test should be performed to determine is metal primer is necessary. Contact Tremco Tech Services for testing.

• Below-grade applications
• Buildings that have moisture dry from the inside of the building
• Traffic bearing surfaces
• In areas where ponding water can occur

• The approved detail sealant is Tremco’s Dymonic®100 polyurethane sealant
• Sealant should be skinned over before coating with an elastomeric coating

• Between 50°F dry and rising and up to 120°F (10°C – 49C°)
• Temperatures between 90°F - 120°F (32°C – 49°C) will require TREMGard H/P Primer

Surface to be coated should be structurally sound, clean, free of dust, oil, and/or contaminants that would prevent the bond of the coating to the substrate. For more details regarding surface preparation, please see TREMGard HB Application Instructions

An ASTM D3359 Method A adhesion test would need to be performed to determine adhesion of coating(s) on the substrate. For more details, refer to TREMGard HB Application Instructions

• Yes, mixing is required to ensure uniform color and smooth consistency
• Do not aerate the coating. A Jiffy style is mixing paddle is recommended
• If multiple pails will be required for the application, the contents of each new pail should be mixed into partially used pails to ensure color consistency. Repeat this procedure (boxing) throughout the project

Only when the substrate requires it due to absorption. An additional layer of the coating should be applied to achieve a total minimum 12 – 16 dry film thickness

• TREMGard products can be applied in three different methods, sprayed, brushed, or rolled. See TREMGard HB Application instructions for further instruction
  • Spray: A spray rig capable of 3300 psi and flow rate of 2.6 gal/min.
  • Brush: Conventional hand brush
  • Roll: Typical roller size is 3/8” nap. Porous substrates may require heavier nap

• 5-day lead time for standard colors
• 3-week lead time for special color matches
