The substrate should ideally be clean, dry, dust- and grease/oil-free. Shell Tixophalte Wet can be applied between +5°C and +40°C. For special applications and/or wet substrates, a bonding test should be taken beforehand and/or a suitable primer should be applied. For highly porous (concrete) substrates, it is recommended to use a bituminous primer.
