Bituminous Black Paint

TLA Coatings Bituminous Black Paint

TLA Coatings Bituminous Black Paint – A specialized, high-quality protective coating formulated from asphaltic compounds (bitumen) to create a thick, durable, and flexible film. This paint is primarily used as a highly effective waterproofing and damp-proofing barrier. When applied, it forms a sealed layer that protects the substrate from moisture ingress, making it essential for below-ground and water-exposed applications.

Key Benefits

• Superior Waterproofing: Forms an impermeable membrane that resists moisture penetration and dampness.
• Triple Substrate Protection: Effectively protects and adheres to Metal, Concrete, and Wood surfaces.
• Anti-Corrosion Barrier: Excellent for metal, providing a thick film that shields against rust and chemical attack.
• High Quality Coating: Manufactured for durability and long service life in harsh environments.
• Solvent-Based Adhesion: Ensures strong bonding and penetration, particularly on porous concrete.

Technical Specifications

• Product Type: Bituminous / Asphaltic Black Paint
• Finish: Black, typically semi-gloss or low sheen
• Areas of Use: Exterior, Below-Grade, Industrial, Marine (Check specific TDS)
• Substrate: Metal, Concrete, Wood
• Spreading Rate: Varies heavily with porosity; low per coat on rough concrete.
• Thinning/Clean Up: Solvent Thinner (Mineral Spirits or Specialized Thinner)
• Grade: High Quality Protective Coating

Perfect For

• Coating and sealing concrete foundations and retaining walls against ground moisture.
• Protecting metal surfaces (fences, tanks, agricultural equipment) from rust and weather.
• Applying to wood posts or sleepers that will be buried or exposed to high moisture.
• Waterproofing the exterior of concrete water tanks or planters.
• Industrial applications require a chemical and corrosion-resistant black coating.

Application Instructions

• Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from loose rust, scale, dirt, grease, and oil. New concrete should be fully cured.
• Metal: Sandblast or wire brush rust. Apply a primer (if recommended by TDS) before the bituminous coat.
• Application: Stir thoroughly. Apply 2 coats by brush or roller. A thick, even coat is essential for the best waterproofing.
• Drying: Allow sufficient time between coats (check TDS—typically 4-24 hours depending on ventilation and temperature).
• Curing: Ensure the final coat is fully cured before backfilling or exposing to water.
• Clean Up: Clean brushes and tools immediately with the recommended solvent thinner.
