Product Overview

CRS Bleed Block Primer is a single-component, low VOC water-based acrylic primer engineered for strong adhesion and bleed blocking performance.

It is designed to resist asphalt oils from migrating through the coating system and staining or discoloring the topcoat.

Its low viscosity and substrate penetrating characteristics help it perform well on a range of roofing surfaces and prepare them for a high quality silicone topcoat.
