Bitumen Paint

Name: Bitumen Paint

A solvent‐borne, bituminous black paint for protecting many building materials against water and weather damage. When dry it forms an odourless and taint‐free bitumen film.

Features: Waterproofs and weatherproofs substrates. – Protects steelwork from corrosion. – Easy application. – For exterior use. – Resistant to low concentrations of alkalis and acids. – Can withstand prolonged oxidation.

Application: Bond It Bitumen Paint is used for waterproofing and weather protecting ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including steel, iron, lead, zinc, aluminium, concrete, roofing felt, fibre/cement, corrugated iron, asphalt, brick and wood. Reduces corrosion and decay. Metal protection for any type of exterior metalwork: fire escapes, ladders, gutters, etc.

Instructions: Preparation: All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from grease, oil and any loose material. Remove any organic growth using Bond It MOULD STOP. Rust should be wire brushed to remove as much as possible, any residue must be primed with a rust inhibitor primer. Surfaces to be treated must be completely free of water before applying BITUMEN PAINT. Porous surfaces should first have an initial coat of Bitumen Primer applied.
Application: BITUMEN PAINT is supplied ready for use and should not require thinning. Apply at least two coats by brush, roller or spray allowing each coat to dry before applying the next coat. Note: At very low service temperatures the coating will become less flexible, while at high temperatures it becomes soft and less resistant to degradation by the environment, and will ultimately flow. It is important that the first coat is completely dry before application of the second coat.
Drying Time: Approximately 24 hours depending on drying conditions. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Cleaning: Clean with paraffin (kerosene) or Bond It White Spirit.

Limitations: Do not use in areas where subsequent solvent contact is likely. Not suitable for potable water tanks. Bitumen paint may bleed through any paints subsequently applied over it. Apply a primer recommended by the paint manufacturer before overpainting.
