DESCRIPTION
BITUFLASH is a high quality, trowel grade waterproofing plastic cement, formulated with select ductile asphalt cut with compatible pure petroleum solvents and compounded with strong reinforcing fibers, gelling agents, mineral stabilizers and special chemical additives. 

USES
BITUFLASH is ideal for all roof repairs, roof splits, cracks and holes. It is excellent for repairing flashing, to seal sky lights, line gutters, vent pipes, gravel guards and cracks in concrete. BITUFLASH is also recommended for bonding protection boards to damp proof course, providing an excellent flexible bond.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES
BITUFLASH exhibits high pliability and flexibility that are essential for the normal structural movements.
It has excellent resistance to ultra violet light, heat, and the strength necessary for the demanding stress areas of the roof as well as the durability essential for the successful repair work.
It provides a flexible bond between protection board and damp proof course, which is essential to protect damp proofing from movement of protection boards during back filling and compact ion and during structural movements or settlement.

INSTALLATION APPLICATION
Remove all dust, dirt, debris, and scaled crusted coating. Before applying BITUFLASH on concrete, metal or dried roof surfaces, prime with BITUPRIME.
Apply with trowel or putty knife. To patch holes or cracks, trowel BITUFLASH to a thickness of 4mm and embed into it a non woven polyester fabric reinforcement and then another layer of 4 mm BITUFLASH.
A flexible bond is obtained by spot bonding protection boards to damp proofing membranes.
