Product Information

Full details

The NJL All Weather Roofing Compound in Black is a versatile, general-purpose bitumen roof coating designed for effective waterproofing and resealing of various roofing materials. Its primary benefit is its exceptional resistance to wash-off by rain shortly after application, making it ideal for use in winter conditions. A potential caveat is its bitumen-based nature, which requires specific surface preparation and may have odor during application.

FAQs

Can I apply this compound in cold weather?

Yes, the NJL All Weather Roofing Compound is particularly suited for winter use due to its resistance to wash-off by rain. However, ensure the surface is free from frost and ice. Application and curing may take longer in very cold temperatures.

How long does it take to become rain resistant?

The compound is resistant to wash-off by rain almost immediately after application, making it highly reliable even if the weather changes unexpectedly.

What types of roofs can I use this on?

It can be applied to Asphalt roofs, Concrete roof decks, Slates & tiles, Built-up felt roofs, Asbestos cement sheeting, and Metal sheeting (including iron, steel, zinc & lead).

How should I clean my tools after using this product?

Clean application tools immediately after use with a suitable solvent such as white spirit or tar thinner.

What is the best way to apply the compound?

You can apply it by brush for more controlled application on smaller areas or by spray for faster coverage on larger surfaces. Ensure an even coat.

Does this compound have a strong smell?

As a bitumen-based product, it may have a characteristic odor during application and curing. Ensure good ventilation during use.

Can I apply this over an existing roof coating?

It can be applied over many existing roof coverings, but it's crucial that the surface is sound, clean, and dry. Remove any loose or flaking material. For best results, ensure compatibility or test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Compound not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the roof surface was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material before application. Old coatings or primers may not be compatible; test in a small area first.

Surface remains tacky after application.

This can occur in very cold temperatures or if applied too thickly. Allow more time for curing in appropriate conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not apply over other wet coatings.

Poor coverage or thin film.

Apply a thicker, more uniform coat. Ensure the correct application method (brush or spray) is used and that the product is spread evenly without excessive thinning.

Product appears lumpy or contains debris.

Ensure the container was sealed properly during storage. Strain the product before application if necessary, or use a larger nozzle on spray equipment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: Ensure the roof surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris, moss, or algae. Remove any loose paint or old coatings. For optimal adhesion on porous surfaces, a suitable primer may be recommended, although the product is designed for direct application on many substrates.

Compatibility: This compound is compatible with Asphalt, Concrete, Slates & tiles, Built-up felt, Asbestos cement sheeting, and Metal sheeting (iron, steel, zinc & lead). It is not recommended for use on living spaces or areas with direct human contact without adequate ventilation and finishing.

Application: Apply using a stiff brush or a spray gun. For brush application, apply in a uniform layer. For spray application, ensure appropriate pressure and nozzle settings. Apply a second coat if necessary, especially on heavily damaged areas, after the first coat has sufficiently dried.

Care: Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent drying out. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Clean application tools immediately after use with a suitable solvent (e.g., white spirit or tar thinner).

Safety: Ensure adequate ventilation during application. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
