BITUMINOUS PAINT

Made of - bitumen or coal tar,

which are soluble in mineral vapours or oil.

Known as

a) bituminous asphalt, (it is sticky& black)

b) highly viscous liquid

c) semi-solid form of oil.

USES OF BITUMINOUS PAINT

Bituminous paint is ready to use and does not need to be thinned. This can be applied with a brush or spray.

Bituminous paint can be applied to most substrates, including iron and steel structures, metal products, castings, asbestos cement sheet and structural concrete surfaces.

PROPERTIES OF BITUMINOUS PAINT

a) Bituminous paint is a type of bituminous coating product that provides weather resistance and corrosion resistance to elements.

b) It has good adhesive properties. A bituminous coating is used to create vapour-proof protective layer in accordance with its formulation and polymerization standards. Bituminous coating is also called as asphalt coating.

c) Bituminous paint is strong, waterproof, durable and inexpensive. Resists the production of harsh chemicals and ultraviolet light. It also protects steel surfaces.

d) Some companies claim that it contains "zero volatile organic compounds" while others claim that it contains 400-500 g / LDR.

e) Available Quantity:

1. 1 Litre

2. 2.5 Litre

3. 5 Litre

4. 25 Litre packages.

f) Coverage per litre depends on the porosity of the surface. The Coverage of smooth metal surfaces is 10 square meters per litre.

USES OF BITUMINOUS PAINT

1. Bituminous paints have alkaline resistance, so it is used for the water system, weather protection steelworks, waterproofing, wood, concrete and potable water tanks.

2. It is also used for exterior metalwork and steelwork such as fire escape, ladders, pits, under pipes, rails, fences and gates. It is used for coating ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals and other building materials. In the marine environment.

3. It is a flexible coating solution that can be applied both above and below the floor.
