NOVERA PNT

NOVERA PNT

An eco-friendly, universal penetrating primer
and adhesion bridge for the entire NOVERA system.

Thin as mist.
Strong as the bond it creates.

NOVERA PNT is like the first brush stroke that determines everything that follows.

A subtle layer that prepares the substrate: it equalizes absorbency, strengthens the surface, opens pores where desired, and seals them where they would hinder adhesion.

It is a handshake between the old surface and new technology. After curing, it forms a rough, anchoring surface—ideal for transitioning to NOVERA HydroRepair, NOVERA Reflex, or NOVERA Exterior.

At the same time, it meets the environmental criteria of modern projects: water-based, VOC-free, and safe for application teams and occupants.

BENEFITS

Maximum adhesion

creates an adhesion bridge for all NOVERA products (absorbent and non-absorbent).

Absorbency equalization

ensures uniform drying and processing of subsequent layers.

Eco-friendly profile

water-based, VOC-free, and free of harmful substances.

Easy application

low risk of application errors.

Low viscosity

deep penetration into the substrate = better anchoring.

Rough surface after curing

“abrasive” adhesion effect for subsequent layers.

Supports the Cold-Roof system

ideal for NOVERA Reflex on roofs and façades.

Strengthens old and damaged substrates

extends the overall system lifespan.

TECHNOLOGY

WHAT IS NOVERA HYDROREPAIR

NOVERA PNT is a single-component polymer penetrating primer designed to:

Unify absorbency – penetrates into capillaries, evens out the absorption characteristics of the surface, thereby preventing uneven absorption of subsequent layers.

Strengthen the surface – consolidates dusty, friable, or separating layers and stabilizes the substrate for further system layers.

Create an adhesion structure – after drying, the surface develops a micro-rough texture that acts as an anchoring profile for both elastic and more rigid subsequent layers.

Ensure penetration even on smooth surfaces – thanks to its low viscosity, it penetrates fine pores and microstructures, increasing adhesion on smooth materials.

Repair and protect – increases surface resistance to mechanical abrasion prior to the application of final layers.

BASIC APPLICATIONS

Suitable substrates:

  • concrete (new and existing)

  • ceramics and tiles

  • fired bricks, masonry

  • OSB boards and other wood-based panels

  • metal sheets (after degreasing and, if necessary, anticorrosion treatment)

  • glass (to improve mechanical anchoring)

  • mineral plasters and renders

  • bitumen/asphalt with mineral granules (after verifying cohesion)

Applications:

  • penetrating primer layer under NOVERA Reflex (cold-roof application)

  • adhesion bridge for NOVERA Exterior and NOVERA Interior

  • before HydroRepair on absorbent and non-absorbent surfaces

  • consolidation of old plasters prior to reconstruction

  • surface preparation for interior and exterior use – new construction and renovation

APPLICATION

Surface preparation

  • Remove dust, grease, and loose particles.

  • Clean mechanically or with pressurized water and allow to dry.

  • Repair larger cracks or cavities (HydroRepair).

  • For extremely cracked or weakened surfaces, use NOVERA Spider reinforcement.

Application

  • Application tools: roller, brush, airless spray.

  • One thin coat is sufficient; for highly absorbent surfaces, two coats are recommended.

  • Apply evenly and avoid the formation of standing puddles.

Conditions

  • Application temperature: +5 °C to +30 °C.

  • Relative humidity: recommended below 80%.

  • Drying time: surface-dry usually within 1–3 hours (depending on temperature and absorbency); ready for subsequent layers after 4–24 hours.

Consumption

  • Approx. 1 kg per 2–4 m², depending on the absorbency and roughness of the substrate.

Quality control

  • Check absorbency uniformity (e.g. using a simple paper absorbency test).

  • Perform an adhesion test using a pilot tape test on a selected area before full application.
