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.

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.
