A ‘Ready to use’ waterproofing compound formulated out of special grade of oxidized bitumen, carefully blended and compounded with fibrous and inert mineral fillers and volatile solvents to keep it plastic.
It remains plastic for a considerable length of time. Although the skin and eventually the interior hardens to some extent after application, a little further change takes place after a certain plastic limit is reached. It is therefore ideal under conditions where a degree of expansion, contraction and vibration is expected.
Bituplast can be applied even by unskilled labour after a little practise. It does not creep or flow when applied on a vertical or sloping surface. it adheres firmly to most surfaces. it is ideal for sealing of cracks, crevices on the roofing decks, walls , window skill and virtually all nooks and corners where accessibility of other standard methods is generally difficult.
Uses
