How to use

Surface Preparation

The surface shall be cleaned thoroughly of all contaminants like dust, traces of curing compound, oil and grease.The primer coat can be made in the site by diluting the same bitumen emulsion with 20% water. The primer may be applied by a brush, roller or airless spray. Allow the primer to dry before any further coats are applied.

Application

Stir the contents of the drum thoroughly prior to application to remove any sediment. The application can be done with a roller, brush or airless spray. Apply the coating at a coverage rate of 1-4 m2/L./coat, depending on the dry film thickness required. When applied at 4m2/L./coat, the dry film thickness achieved will be 125 microns.  

Protection

The coating shall be protected from ongoing site activities and during backfilling from getting damaged by a 150 micron polyethylene sheet.
