Product catalog summary
Product Description: PSI-75 Primer is a single-component, synthetic rubber-based solution designed to enhance adhesion of PSI polysulfide and silicone sealants on various substrates, including metal, concrete, masonry, glass, ceramics, and certain plastics. It is essential for polysulfide sealants in water immersion applications.
Application Limitations: The primer must be reapplied if the sealant is not installed within 8 hours. It should be stored in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture deterioration and should not be applied on wet substrates or backer rods.
Packaging: Available in pint (473 ml) cans.
Application Process: Surfaces must be clean and dry. The primer can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray, and should dry to the touch in approximately 1 hour. Repriming is necessary if it dries for over 8 hours. Equipment cleanup requires xylene or a suitable solvent.
Shelf Life: One year from shipment date when stored in original, unopened containers at 40-80°F (4-27°C).
Technical Services: PSI offers field service, performance data, and adhesion testing to ensure optimal application and adhesion of sealants.
Application Properties: The primer is a light amber liquid with a specific gravity of 1.07 and a VOC content of 782 gm/L. It has a flash point of 45°F (7°C) and a non-volatile content of 20-25%.
Coverage Chart: Coverage varies by joint depth, with 1/4” depth covering 300 lineal feet, 3/8” covering 225 feet, and 1/2” covering 150 feet.
Health Precautions: Contains flammable solvents; avoid heat and flames. Wash hands after use and avoid prolonged skin contact. In case of ingestion, seek medical attention. Keep out of reach of children and for professional use only.
Availability and Cost: Contact Polymeric Systems, Inc. or Whitford Ltd. for more information.
Non-Warranty Clause: Recommendations are based on reliable tests but are not guaranteed. Users should conduct their own tests to determine product suitability.

PSI-75 Primer (1023-0510)-1

PSI-75 Primer Product description PSI-75 Primer is a single-component, synthetic rubber-based solution used as a primer for PSI polysulfide and silicone sealants on porous and non-porous substrates. Basic uses PSI-75 Primer promotes adhesion of PSI polysulfide sealants and some PSI silicone sealants to metal, concrete, masonry, glass, ceramics and certain plastics. It is the required primer for use with polysulfide sealants for water immersion applications. Application limitations cleaned with xylene or other suitable solvent. When using flammable solvents, consult manufacturer's MSDS for safety precautions. Coverage Chart Joint Depth 1/4” Lineal Feet 300 3/8” 225 1/2” 150 Shelf life: One year from date of shipment when stored in original, unopened container at temperatures between 40 and 80°F (4 to 27°C). Technical services • If sealant cannot be installed within 8 hours, reprime. • Keep cans tightly closed when not in use as primer will deteriorate when exposed to moisture. • Do not apply over wet or damp substrates. • Do not apply primer to backer rod to prevent three-sided adhesion. Packaging Available in pint (473 ml) cans. Application PSI provides field service, performance data, specification assistance and use evaluations. Adhesion testing by PSI: This program is intended to eliminate potential field-application problems by pre-testing the adhesion of PSI's construction sealants on samples of building materials submitted by the customer. The tests will aid in determining the proper surface preparation method, effective solvents for cleaning and whether priming is necessary to achieve optimum adhesion. Following this procedure will remove many of the variables that affect field success. Preparation: Surfaces to which primer is Test samples should be identified as to applied must be clean, dry and free of laitance, loose aggregate, grease, oil, wax, corApplication Properties* rosion, rust, waterproofing compounds, mastic compounds, and previouslyConsistency Light amber liquid applied sealants.

manufacturer, origin, designed use, building project, person and firm originating the request. Appropriate sketches of drawings showing the intended use can be helpful. They should be sent to the attention of PSI's Technical Director. Jobsite testing of substrates: A field test can be performed by applying several feet ot the sealant to a representative joint and letting it reach full cure. Make a cut in the cured sealant across the joint the entire depth of the sealant. Make two vertical cuts several inches long, paralleling the sides of the joint as closely as possible and extending down from...
