NIPOSEAL
Bitu Sealing Compound
A solvent-borne, thick black Bituminous Compound formulated with specially selected fibre, for a semi stiff paste.
It provides a soft and flexible bond which hardens and softens with changes of temperature.
Drying time will vary depending on weather conditions and time. This allows the compound to develop a tack.
It has been observed that indoor/concealed applications have resulted in the material remaining soft.
All heavy applications will result in extended drying time.
ADVANTAGES
• Does not require a primer

APPLICATION
Substrates should be sound and clean (from dust, loose particles, oil and grease).
Apply using a spatula/scraper directly from the pail.
Protect sides of joint or application area with masking tapes to avoid paint-over.
• For Horizontal Cracks and Joints (including Expansion Joints)
a. Clean the surface by brushing or wiping with a piece of rag
b. Fill up the crack with NIPOSEAL using a knife or a trowel.
c. Ensure material fully covers the crack/joint
d. Where required, conceal and protect the Compound with metal flasgh strips or backer rod
• For Holes and/or Overlays/Overlaps on Roofing Sheet
a. Clean the surrounding of the hole/overlay off any dust or loose material
b. Apply a coating of NIPOSEAL around the hole/overlay
c. Cover the hole with a piece of GLASSFIBRE NETTING.
d. Paint over the GLASSFIBRE NETTING with NIPOSEAL
• For waterproofing and sealing of corrugated iron and asbestos roof.
• For the repair of leaks and cracks in all kinds of roofs.
• For rejuvenating old felt roofs, zinc or asbestos roofs.
• For the protection of the under-carriage of vehicles.
• Not suitable for UV exposure

SPECIAL NOTES
Air exposed material may become too viscose to handle:
- Ensure pail is properly covered and secured.
- Leave the closed pail outdoor under the very hot sun for several hours.
- This may facilitate softening of the material for easier handling.
- An oily shiny film may be evident during this exposure.
- Agitate with a strong power drill till homogeneous.
- Always keep material properly covered.
