Glass primer
Adhesion promoter for non-absorbent substrates – specifically for glass and ceramics

Product information

Enke Glass Primer is a colourless, solvent-based speciality primer designed to ensure reliable adhesion to smooth, non-absorbent substrates. It has been specially developed for use on glass, glazed surfaces and ceramic surfaces – wherever conventional primers reach their limits. Whether for detailed joints, window surrounds or specialised joints: the Glass Primer ensures a reliable bond with subsequent Enke sealing systems such as Enkopur or Enkryl.

Thanks to its fast drying time, ease of application and high effectiveness, it is the first choice for all jointing solutions on glass or glazed materials – even at sensitive detail points.

Note:

Use only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas. Clean glass surfaces thoroughly before use (free from dust, grease and silicone).

Frequently Asked Questions

Enke Glass Primer is a solvent-based special bonding agent for smooth, non-absorbent substrates such as glass, tiles and ceramic coverings. It is used in particular in conjunction with Enkopur, e.g. at junctions with glazing, for waterproofing on tiles or in areas where water may stand for prolonged periods.

A glass primer is always required when:

  • waterproofing is to be carried out on glass surfaces or ceramic tiles,
  • mechanical adhesion is not possible due to rough surfaces,
  • or where connections are being made in areas exposed to water (e.g. plinths on glass façades, balcony connections to window surfaces).

It ensures the chemical adhesion that cannot be achieved with universal Primers.

Apply a thin, even coat using a roller, brush or a well-saturated cloth.
The flash-off time is approx. 30–60 minutes, depending on the weather and the substrate. Work with the Liquid plastic may only continue once it has fully flashed off. Avoid applying the product too thickly, as this can adversely affect adhesion.

Coverage is approximately 50 g or 60 ml per m².
Important to note:

  • apply very sparingly
  • avoid creating puddles
  • The substrate must be clean, dry and free from grease

The glass primer is colourless, so the application is barely visible to the naked eye.

Enke Glass Primer is highly flammable and may cause eye irritation and drowsiness.
The following are required:

  • good ventilation
  • protective gloves, safety goggles and suitable work clothing
  • strict avoidance of ignition sources

The product should not be applied indoors without adequate ventilation. The instructions in the safety data sheet must be strictly observed.
