OTTO Primer 1225 universal primer high viscosity for absorbent substrates

Description

OTTO Primer 1225 is a viscous, film-forming universal primer based on a solvent-based adhesion promoter combination. It improves adhesion on mineral and absorbent materials, some metallic materials and some plastics. The 100 ml aluminium bottle is enough for individual joints and minor repairs.

Benefits at a glance

  • Universal: one primer for mineral, absorbent and some metallic materials as well as some plastics.
  • Film-forming: the thick-bodied primer forms a film on the substrate.
  • Easy to plan: flash-off time at least 30 minutes, further processing up to 3 hours afterwards.
  • Toluene-free: formulated without toluene according to the technical data sheet.
  • System-tested: Compatibility with OTTO sealants and adhesives tested and approved by OTTO application technology.

Areas of application

  • Porous, mineral substrates such as concrete
  • Some metallic materials
  • Some plastics
  • Joint flanks before applying OTTO sealants and adhesives

Limits & notes

The primer must be applied thinly and evenly; excess primer forms a film that impairs adhesion. A soiled brush must never be dipped into the bottle. At 9 months, the storage stability is shorter than with many other OTTO primers. For other OTTO product groups, substrates or coatings, OTTO recommends preliminary tests. Do not apply the primer beyond the joint edges and bonding surfaces, otherwise soiling or visual changes are possible.

Hazard statements: Danger. H225 Highly flammable liquid and vapour. H319 Causes serious eye irritation. H336 May cause drowsiness or dizziness. H412 Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. EUH066 Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. EUH208 Contains dibutyltin dilaurate. May produce an allergic reaction. Safety data sheet available from the manufacturer.

Application & tips

Free the bonding surfaces of release agents, grease, oil, dust, water and old adhesives or sealants; clean non-porous substrates with OTTO Cleaner T and a clean, lint-free cloth, clean porous substrates of loose particles mechanically, for example with a steel brush or grinding disc. On porous substrates such as concrete apply the primer with a brush, on non-porous ones such as metal or plastic with a lint-free cloth, not with a brush. Allow to flash off for at least 30 minutes; higher temperatures shorten and lower temperatures lengthen the flash-off time. Solvent-containing, flammable: only with good ventilation, away from ignition sources; wear safety goggles and solvent-resistant gloves, according to the safety data sheet made of butyl rubber with a thickness of more than 0.4 mm. Because of the many influences on site, a trial application is always necessary. The use-by date is on the container, storage stability is 9 months at 23 °C.

Project: Expansion and connection joints on the façade

Clean the joint flanks mechanically, prime porous flanks and insert a closed-cell backing cord so that the joint becomes about twice as wide as deep. Then apply the permanently elastic sealant, smooth it and pull off the masking tape immediately.
