Bitumen Waterproofer

admin — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 08:00:34 +0000

ALCOLIN BITUMEN WATERPROOFER is a highly flexible bitumen emulsion which can be used in conjunction with Alcolin Membrane to create a highly effective waterproofing system. It is non-toxic once dried and is ideal for waterproofing flat roofs, gutters, flashings, water reservoirs and koi ponds.

The product can be cold applied to vertical and horizontal surfaces and once dried; it forms a tough, durable and flexible waterproof barrier.

Size

1 litre, 5 litre, 20 litre buckets

Uses / Applications

Waterproofing of flat roofs, parapets and flashings
Waterproofing of ponds and water reservoirs
Sealing of joints between different roofing materials, gutter joints, and roof screws
Waterproofing and protective coating for below ground foundations

Other Information

Tools and brushes must be cleaned immediately after use with water and soap
Do not apply if temperature is below 5°C
Do not apply onto damp surfaces
Bitumen compounds have poor UV resistance and therefore must be over coated with paint if exposed to sunlight or UV rays. Due to the tendency of bitumen compounds to bleed through and discolour paints applied over them, we recommend that one over coats with Alcolin Silver Coat or Alcolin Vinoseal. If a colour matched acrylic paint is used, apply a primer recommended by the paint manufacturer before painting.
