USES
BITUMAT BITUFAST is a universal primer for concrete, smooth asphalt roofs, brick and metal surfaces. It is used as the priming coat before applying any of BITUMAT's elastomeric membranes and coatings.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES

BITUMAT BITUFAST is fast curing and hence

• Dust is not trapped whilst wet.
• Time interval between coats is less resulting in greater efficiency and quick output.
• 100% evaporation of solids is achieved which is specially essential when using self-adhesive membranes.
• Greater enhancement for adhesion/bonding. v Does not require heating, thinning or mixing, thereby saving labour costs.

• Especially formulated with highly flexible, pliable and ductile bitumen.
• When applied over select asphalt allows for proper penetration into the surface's pores, pin holes and cracks and cures rapidly, preventing work delays and surface contamination.
• Rejuvenates and revitalizes the existing cracked and brittle surfaces, when applied over weathered asphalt, thus preparing them suitably from initiating any maintenance or repair operation.
• Applied over stable homogenous asphalt, does not exude or bleed and hence forms a more durable bond.

DESCRIPTION
BITUMAT BITUFAST is a premium quality, cold applied fast curing primer formulated with a highly pliable, flexible bitumen and select fast drying solvents and compounded with wetting and saturation additives.

APPLICATION
The surface must be thoroughly cleaned, all dust, dirt, loose coating, oil and grease must be cleared and the surface should be dry before priming. It can be applied with a roofing brush, roller, squeegee or airless spray equipment at the recommended coverage rates.

CLEANING
Tools : Clean with kerosene
Hands : Use a hand cleaner or kerosene followed by soap and water.
