ROOFCOAT

USES
BITUMAT ROOFCOAT Type IV and 115/15 are used in the construction of built-up roofs on inclines not exceeding 25% slope and Type I I I and 85/25 on inclines not exceeding 12.5% slope.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES

• BITUMAT ROOFCOAT is highly stable during melting due to blowing at optimum temperature to minimize softening point fall back.
• Available in plastic bags for ease of handling, waste and disposal elimination. The plastic melts and becomes part of bitumen, thus saving labour and material cost.
• For 1 15/15 and Type IV, packaging is available in bags and kegs. Others in steel drums.

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

Note: BITUMAT can also provide, upon request, information on equiviscous temperature (E.V.T.) for optimum heating and application temperature.

DESCRIPTION
BITUMAT ROOFCOAT is a premium quality coating manufactured from ductile, pliable bitumen and plasticizing oil blown to optimum and uniform softening point and penetration.

STANDARDS
Type III and Type IV comply with ASTM D312. 85/25 and 1 15/15 comply with BS 3690 Part 2. Other ASTM and BS grades are available on request.

PACKING
Type III and 85/25 in 190-kg steel drums. Type IV and 1 15/15 in plastic bags and 45-kg kegs.

HEALTH & SAFETY
1. Fire - Non-flammable; flash point is above 250°C. However avoid overheating above flash point as it could ignite.
2. Skin - If contact occurs while hot, it could cause severe burn. If contact occurs, immediately cool affected area with cold water. It is recommended that a bucket of ice water be kept nearby. Seek medical attention.
3. Eyes- If contact occurs, immediately cool with cold water, then seek medical attention.
