When dry it forms an odourless and taint-free bitumen film. Bond It BITUMEN PAINT is used for the protection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, concrete, roofing felt, fibre/cement, corrugated iron, asphalt and wood, against water. It reduces corrosion and decay. 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. 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. Drying Time: Approximately 6 hours depending on drying conditions. Limitations: Do not use in areas where subsequent solvent contact is likely. Do not use for potable drinking water tanks. Allow sufficient drying time between coats. Bitumen paint may bleed through any paints subsequently applied over it. Apply a primer recommended by the paint manufacturer before overpainting.
