    Where to use ROOFEXSEAL PRIMER PS / NPS: polysulphide sealant primer for joints

    ROOFEXSEAL PRIMER PS / NPS is a polysulphide sealant primer in two variants, PS for porous surfaces such as concrete and masonry and NPS for non-porous surfaces such as metal and glass. It is brushed in a thin, even coat onto both sides of the joint and left to dry. It must be applied before sealing with ROOFEXSEAL PS.

    • Concrete Expansion Joints

      Use the PS variant on porous concrete joint faces.

    • Masonry Joints

      PS variant, brushed thinly on both sides of the joint.

    • Water Retaining Structures

      Applied before the polysulphide sealant for a watertight joint seal.

    • Road & Highway Joints

      Remove dust, oil, loose material and curing compound first.

    • Building Expansion Joints

      Seal within the primer's open time once it has dried.

    • Internal Structural Seals

      Choose NPS where the joint faces are metal or glass.

    For anyone dealing with a sealant adhesion problem, the primer's job is to improve adhesion between the polysulphide sealant and the joint surface. Pick PS for porous surfaces and NPS for non-porous ones. As a joint primer before sealant, it goes on by brush and must dry fully. Apply ROOFEXSEAL PS within the primer's open time, and maintain a minimum 50% depth-to-width ratio when filling the joint.

    Armstrong Chemicals supplies ROOFEXSEAL PRIMER PS / NPS to sites across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, including Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Bengaluru, Kochi and Chennai.

    Why ROOFEXSEAL PRIMER PS / NPS works

    • Two surface variants

      PS is formulated for porous surfaces like concrete and masonry, NPS for non-porous ones like metal and glass, so each surface gets the right primer.

    • Improves sealant adhesion

      The primer improves adhesion between the polysulphide sealant and the joint face, giving a long-lasting, watertight joint seal.

    • Simple brush application

      A thin, even brush coat on both sides of the joint is all it takes before the sealant goes in.

    How to Use

    1

    Clean the joint surface thoroughly — remove dust, oil, loose material and curing compound

    2

    Determine surface type: Porous (concrete, masonry) or Non-Porous (metal, glass)

    3

    Select correct primer: ROOFEXSEAL PRIMER PS for porous, NPS for non-porous surfaces

    4

    Apply primer by brush to both sides of the joint — thin even coat

    5

    Allow primer to dry fully before applying sealant

    6

    Apply ROOFEXSEAL PS polysulphide sealant within the primer's open time

    7

    Ensure minimum 50% depth-to-width ratio is maintained for joint filling

    ROOFEXSEAL PU 212

    ROOFEXSEAL PU is a low-modulus, single-component, high-performance polyurethane sealant. Once cured, it forms a tough, flexible seal capable of cyclic expansion and compression movement of 50% (±25%) of the original joint width. Virtually unaffected by rain, sunlight, snow, sleet, UV radiation, ozone, and atmospheric pollution, it retains its original properties for years of exposure.

    ROOFEX-SEAL PS

    ROOFEX-SEAL PS is a two-component polysulphide liquid polymer sealant, available in Gun Grade (non-sag) and Pour Grade (self-levelling). When mixed, the base and curing agent react to form a firm, flexible rubber-like seal with excellent adhesion to concrete, masonry, wood, glass, acrylic and PVC. Capable of withstanding repeated expansion, contraction and cyclic movement without loss of adhesion — with 30% movement accommodation on butt joints, 50% on lap joints, and a stated service life of 20 years or more. Service temperature: -40°C to +80°C. Compliant with ASTM C-920-87, DIN-18549, TT-S-00227E and BS-4254-83. CPWD and government infrastructure approved.
