Duraamen Engineered Products Paramol

Paramol is designed to be both a sealer and bonding agent for interior applications of the Param 5500. Paramol is a concentrated re-emulsifiable adhesive specifically designed to enhance the bond of the Param 5500 providing maximum adhesion and seal between the substrate and the self-leveling concrete.

Product Type: Sealer, Solventless & High Solids Coating, Waterborne Coating

Compatible Substrates & Surfaces: Concrete, Metal, Painted Surfaces, Wood

Features: Excellent Substrate Adhesion, Non-Toxic, Odorless, Self-Leveling

Chemical Family: Vinyls, Vinylics & Vinyl Derivatives

Applications

Substrate Requirements:

  • Clean the areas and remove all unsound concrete, grease, oil, paint, asphalt, tar and any other foreign materials that will inhibit performance.
  • Substrates must be stable, solid and structurally sound.
  • The substrate must be mechanically profiled by shot-blasting, sandblasting or scarifying to achieve a CSP 4 to CSP 5.
  • After cleaning and profiling, test for MVER (moisture vapor emission rate).
  • For applications over cutback adhesive residue, wood surfaces, non-porous substrates such as terrazzo, ceramic and quarry tile, burnished concrete, epoxy coatings, painted surfaces and metal, please contact Duraamen’s technical staff.

Priming:

  • Paramol must be applied over the entire substrate that is at least at 50°F.
  • For porous substrates, 2 coats of Param primer may be necessary.
  • The primer is dilution @ 1:1 with clean potable water before applying it to the surface. Coverage: 350 - 400ft²/gal.
  • The primer must be applied evenly with a fine hair push broom.
  • Do not use paint rollers, mops, or spray equipment except over wood and metal (contact Duraamen technical staff for correct priming applications).
  • Apply a thin primer layer leaving no bare spots, puddles or excess primer.
  • Allow drying to a clear, thin film.

Important:

  • Param 5500 must be applied within 24 hours of priming to ensure that a good bond is achieved between the primer and the substrate.
  • The primed substrate mustn't be contaminated in any way before the installation of Param 5500.
Coverage

Paramol yields 350-400ft² per gallon when diluted with water at 1:1 ratio.
