Uses:
- As a waterproofing and protective coating for foundations, basements.
- As a corrosion protection for the concrete in the building structures.
- In damp proof coating.
Advantages:
- Because of the low temperature of application and of storage, the possibility of heat degradation of the binder is minimized.
- High viscosity bitumen is retained in a form which may be used at low temperatures.
- The low temperature of application & storage minimizes hazards from fuming and improves safety and also reduces the energy.
- Fire risk is minimized.
Packaging:
- 20 litre pails and 200 litre drums.
- Bulk tankers.
Standards:
- Conforming to American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM D- 977).
- Conforming to American Association of State Highway Officials (AASTO M- 140).
