Tremco PUMA Base Coat R 373 per 6 Gallon Unit

Tremco PUMA BC R 373 is a UV-stable, roller-grade base coat material designed to have tenacious adhesion to Tremco PUMA Primer and provide quick turn-around time with cure rates at less than an hour, even in the coldest of temperatures. The material will accommodate movement and bridge cracks of up to 1/16” (1.5mm).

Tremco PUMA BC R installed over Tremco PUMA Primer can be used as a waterproofing membrane system at terraces, plaza decks, planters, ramps, vertical walls and as a tie-in material directly to hot rubberized asphalt or in flashing applications. Tremco PUMA BC R requires the use of Tremco PUMA Initiator for cure.
