Bitumen Based Coating Enamel is a bituminous compound reinforced with inert non-fibrous fillers for hot application. Type 2 a, b and c comply to BS 4147 : 1980. It will soften gradully when heated and will change back to solid on cooling. 

USAGE  
Bitumen Based Coating Enamel is mainly used as anti-corrosion materials for protection of iron and steel pipes for industrial and drinking water. 

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES  

  • Excellent and permanent adhesion to metal
  • Low water absorption 
  • Impact resistance 
  • Flexibility 
  • Resistance to soil stress 
  • Resistance to cold stress 
  • High electrical resistibility 
  • Chemically stable

SURFACE PREPARATION 
The surface of the steel pipe to be coated with Bitumen Based Coating Enamel shall be wire-brushed to remove all surface rust, millscale and loose materials. Immediately after wire brushing the surface shall be wiped clean and dried, then apply a coat of Bituminous Primer and allowed to dry. 

APPLICATION  
Bitumen Based Coating Enamel shall be broken up into small pieces and heated slowly to the application temperature of 220  to 250 , and should not be heated to a temperature exceeding 270 

PACKING 
The coating will be supplied in one of the following forms: 
a) In cylindrical moulded cake form of approximately 150kg each.
b) In 209 litre steel drum. 

NOTE:  Catalogue, Test Report and Material Safety Data Sheet will be given upon request.
