Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this product suitable for painting over?

While it dries to a black finish, it is not typically designed as a primer for decorative paints. It's a functional waterproofing and protective coating.

Can I use this on a wooden shed roof?

Yes, it is suitable for use on roofing felt which is commonly found on shed roofs. Ensure the felt is in reasonable condition before application.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time varies depending on temperature and humidity. It is typically touch-dry within 2-6 hours and fully cured within 24 hours.

What temperature should I apply this in?

It is best applied in temperatures between 5°C and 30°C. Avoid applying during frost, rain, or extreme heat.

How do I clean up spills or tools?

Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with water. Spills should be wiped up while still wet.

What is the coverage rate?

Coverage is approximately 1-1.5 square meters per liter per coat, depending on the surface porosity and texture.

Troubleshooting

Emulsion is too thick to brush easily.

Stir thoroughly. If very cold, allow to warm up to room temperature. Do not add water unless specified for a particular application, and then only in very small amounts.

Poor adhesion or peeling after drying.

Surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean and free from dust, grease, or loose material. For porous surfaces, a primer might be necessary.

Surface remains tacky after application.

This can occur in very humid conditions or if applied too thickly. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow more time for drying. Avoid applying in very cold or damp weather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Solvent-free for safer use and environmental benefits.
  • Broad compatibility with many roofing materials.
  • Can be applied to damp surfaces, offering installation flexibility.
  • Provides more than just waterproofing, including metal protection and insulation.
  • Durable and long-lasting black finish.

Cons

  • Dries to black, which may not suit all aesthetic requirements.
  • Requires proper preparation of surfaces for optimal adhesion.
  • May not be suitable for highly flexible or very porous surfaces without specific primers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry (though application on damp surfaces is possible), and free from loose debris, moss, or loose paint. For dusty or porous surfaces, a suitable primer may be recommended.

Application: Apply using a medium-hard brush. A single coat is typically sufficient for general waterproofing, but two coats may be applied for increased durability, allowing the first coat to become touch-dry before applying the second. Ensure full coverage, paying attention to edges and joints.

Compatibility: Compatible with fibre/cement, roofing felt, mastic asphalt, corrugated iron, slates, tiles, lead, copper, and zinc.

Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Keep the container tightly sealed. Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with water.
