WMA Premium Prime is a water-based, solvent-free acrylic primer for dense, smooth and non-porous substrates prior to WMA acrylic, latex and polyurethane membranes. It is suitable for internal and external horizontal or vertical surfaces including compressed cement sheet, concrete, ceramic tile and natural stone, selected metals, precast and tilt panels, masonry and rigid plastics such as Dincel. Apply undiluted by brush, roller or airless spray. Typical coverage is 4–8 m²/L depending on substrate porosity, with 20–50 minutes drying time before membrane application at temperatures above 15°C. Premium Prime is not a waterproof membrane and is unsuitable over old solvent-based or bituminous coatings, or where rising moisture or negative hydrostatic pressure is present.
  • High adhesion to dense smooth substrates
  • Fast drying with no mixing required
  • Internal and external suitability

Technical and product guidance for the item you’re viewing.

  • Water-based, solvent-free acrylic primer
  • High adhesion to dense, smooth substrates
  • Internal and external, horizontal and vertical use
  • Apply by brush, roller or airless spray
  • Excellent water and alkali resistance
  • Suitable beneath WMA acrylic, latex and polyurethane membranes
  • Ensure the substrate is structurally sound, dry, smooth and free from loose material, old coatings, dust and bond-breaking contaminants. Repair holes and non-structural cracks and remove unsound coatings. Apply Premium Prime at full strength by brush, roller or airless spray to achieve complete coverage without pinholes. Do not dilute. Allow approximately 20–50 minutes at temperatures above 15°C before applying the compatible WMA membrane. Cooler temperatures or higher humidity will extend drying time. Do not use over old solvent-based or bituminous coatings, or where rising moisture or negative hydrostatic pressure is present.

What coverage can I expect from WMA Premium Prime?
The current TDS states approximately 4–8 m² per litre for one or more coats, depending on substrate porosity and application conditions.
How long should Premium Prime dry before applying a WMA membrane?
Allow approximately 20–50 minutes at temperatures above 15°C and 65% relative humidity before membrane application. Cooler or more humid conditions can extend drying time.
Can Premium Prime be used over bitumen or where rising moisture is present?
No. The TDS states that Premium Prime is not suitable over old solvent-based or bituminous coatings and is not suitable where rising moisture or negative hydrostatic pressure is present.
