1. Product description

Rayson SealForce AP05 is a one-part, water-based acrylic primer for the SealForce waterproofing range — brushed or rolled onto concrete, render, brick, stone and roof tiles to seal pores, bind dust and give SealForce AC10 a firm surface to bond to.

SealForce AP05 is the first coat of Rayson's acrylic roof and wall system: a milky-white acrylic dispersion in water, stirred and applied straight from the pail by brush or roller. It soaks into the surface, binds loose dust, firms weak surface layers and seals the pores, then dries to a clear film — the change from white to clear shows when it is ready for the membrane.

2. Recommended uses

  • Primer for absorbent concrete, render, brick, stone and tiles before SealForce AC10
  • Bonding primer on smooth, dense concrete finishes
  • Binding surface dust and firming weak surface layers before the membrane
  • Sealing pores in rough concrete so the membrane cures without bubbles or pinholes

3. Suitable substrates

  • Concrete and cementitious surfaces: sound, with a pull-off strength of at least 1.5 N/mm², at least 28 days old and mechanically prepared to an open texture
  • Brick and stone with sound, flush-pointed mortar joints; loose units replaced
  • Unglazed ceramic tiles and clay roof tiles, securely fixed, with broken or missing tiles replaced
  • All surfaces power-washed or vacuumed free of dust, and dry: moisture at most 5% by weight, with no standing water or rising moisture

4. Key properties

  • One-part and water-based — stirred and applied straight from the pail by brush or roller
  • Improves the bond of SealForce AC10 to concrete, render, masonry and tiles
  • Seals pores so the membrane cures without bubbles or pinholes
  • Binds surface dust and firms weak surface layers
  • Goes on milky white and dries clear, so it is easy to see when it is ready to coat

6. Technical data

Surface preparation Surfaces must be sound, clean and dry, free of standing water, dust, oil, grease, laitance, curing compounds and loose or friable material; remove dust by industrial vacuuming or power-washing. Concrete must be at least 28 days old, with a pull-off strength of at least 1.5 N/mm², mechanically prepared to an open texture; repair cracks, voids and spalls with Rayson PatchBond TX80 and let the repairs cure. Brick and stone need sound, flush-pointed joints; tiles must be securely fixed, with broken or missing ones replaced, then power-washed and dried. Confirm adhesion with a small trial.
Mixing / dilution One part, ready to use — stir for about 2 minutes with a slow paddle until uniform, without whipping in air
Application method Brush, Roller
Coverage Approximately 0.15–0.3 kg/m² per coat, depending on absorbency; a 20 kg pail primes about 65–130 m² per coat. Very porous surfaces take a second coat
Application conditions Air and substrate between +10 °C and +35 °C; relative humidity at most 75%; substrate and fresh primer at least 3 °C above the dew point. Substrate moisture at most 5% by weight, visibly dry, with no standing water and no rising moisture. Protect from rain until dry.
Drying & curing Dry when the milky white has turned clear — at least 1 hour, longer in cool or humid weather. Apply SealForce AC10 within 24 hours, cleaning the surface first if longer. Protect from rain until dry
Recoat interval Overcoat with Rayson SealForce AC10 once the primer has dried clear: at least 1 hour, and within 24 hours (clean the surface first if longer). On very porous surfaces, a second primer coat goes on once the first has dried clear.
Film / thickness Penetrating primer: about 0.15–0.3 kg/m² per coat, depending on absorbency. One coat, two on very porous surfaces. Applied milky white; dries to a clear film.
Pack sizes 20 kg pail
Storage Store in original, unopened, undamaged and sealed packaging in dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and frost.
Shelf life Approximately 12 months unopened, in original packaging.

8. Recommended system

Concrete or rendered roof and wall, before SealForce AC10

  1. Prepare the surface mechanically; repair cracks, voids and spalls with Rayson PatchBond TX80 and let the repairs cure
  2. Vacuum all dust; the surface must be dry, with no standing water
  3. Apply one coat of Rayson SealForce AP05 at about 0.15–0.3 kg/m² by brush or roller; a second coat on very porous concrete
  4. When it has dried clear, at least 1 hour later and within 24 hours, apply Rayson SealForce AC10

Old roof tiles, brick or stone, before SealForce AC10

  1. Fix loose tiles or units, replace broken or missing ones and point open mortar joints
  2. Power-wash the surface and allow it to dry
  3. Apply one coat of Rayson SealForce AP05 at about 0.15–0.3 kg/m²
  4. When it has dried clear, apply Rayson SealForce AC10 in two coats

9. Limitations

10. Health & safety
