Black Jack bitumen paint
Black Jack is a solvent-based, full-bodied black bitumen paint that provides a waterproof, weatherproof and corrosion-resistant protective coating. When dry it forms an odourless, taint-free black film that suits metal protection as well as overcoating wood and felt, and it can also be used to protect concrete structures, stone and brick.
It is one of the most versatile and trusted bituminous coatings on the market, resistant to most salt solutions, dilute acids and alkalis, water and alcohol, and able to withstand prolonged oxidation.
Key features
- Waterproof, weatherproof and corrosion-resistant protective film
- Fast drying, typically touch-dry in a few hours depending on conditions
- Suitable for iron, steel, lead, zinc, aluminium, concrete, stone, wood, felt and brick
- Odourless, taint-free black finish once cured
- Resistant to most salt solutions, dilute acids and alkalis, water and alcohol
Typical applications
- Metal protection for corrugated iron sheets, storage tanks, gutters, downpipes, fences, railings, gates, fire escapes, stairways and ladders
- Protective coating for concrete structures, stone, brick, screeds and sand or cement surfaces
- Overcoating felt and timber for roofing and general weatherproofing
Coverage and application
Coverage is typically around 11 square metres per litre on smooth, non-porous surfaces, and lower on porous surfaces such as concrete or masonry, which absorb more product. Apply a minimum of two coats by brush or spray, allowing the first to dry before the second. Prime porous surfaces with a compatible bitumen primer first, and wire-brush metal to remove rust. Clean tools with white spirit immediately after use. Follow the current data sheet for full guidance.
