SikaShield® Primer S-30 IN
Solvent-based, quick-drying bituminous primer for SikaShield membranes
Product Overview
SikaShield® Primer S-30 IN is a single-component, low-viscosity, solvent-based bituminous primer formulated to prepare substrates for SikaShield bituminous waterproofing membranes. Brushed, rolled or sprayed onto clean, dry surfaces, it penetrates cementitious materials and activates the surface, promoting a strong, reliable bond for both torch-on and stick-on APP and SBS modified membranes. It adheres well to concrete, screed mortar, porous stone and lime-concrete, and revives old bituminous surfaces, while its quick-drying nature keeps roofing programmes on schedule. The formulation is suited to tropical climate conditions. Waterproofing contractors and roofing applicators use it as the priming step beneath SikaShield membrane systems. Space Arc Engineering, an authorized Sika distributor in India, supplies SikaShield® Primer S-30 IN for waterproofing and roofing projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is SikaShield Primer S-30 IN used for?
It is a solvent-based bituminous primer that prepares and activates substrates so torch-on and stick-on APP/SBS SikaShield membranes bond reliably to concrete, screeds, porous stone, lime-concrete and old bituminous surfaces.
How much primer do I need?
Typical consumption is about 0.250-0.400 litre/m2 per coat, varying with substrate porosity and texture. Confirm project quantities against the current TDS.
How long does it take to dry?
On concrete it is touch-dry within roughly 4 hours and hard-dry within about 14 hours at 23 C and 50% relative humidity, allowing the membrane to be laid without long delays.
What is the difference between Primer S-30 IN and W-30 IN?
S-30 IN is solvent-based for fast drying and strong penetration, while W-30 IN is water-based and lower-odour. Choose the solvent grade where rapid turnaround is the priority and ventilation allows.
