Application Methods

Applying black bitumen paint, requires careful preparation and the right techniques to ensure optimal results. The first step is to prepare the surface by cleaning it thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or loose material. This ensures that the paint adheres properly and provides a durable coating. For metal surfaces, it’s essential to remove any rust or corrosion before applying the paint.

Once the surface is clean and dry, you can begin applying the black bitumen paint. It’s recommended to use a brush, roller, or spray gun, depending on the size and nature of the surface. For smaller areas or detailed work, a brush is ideal, while a roller or spray gun is more efficient for larger surfaces. When using a spray gun, ensure that you apply the paint evenly and maintain a consistent distance from the surface to avoid drips and uneven coverage.

It’s important to apply the paint in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next one. This helps to build up a strong, protective layer. Typically, two to three coats are sufficient for most applications. Ensure proper ventilation during application and drying, especially when working indoors. Following these methods will help you achieve a durable and effective protective coating with black bitumen paint.

Tips for Applying Black Bitumen Paint

Here are some detailed tips to help you achieve a durable and effective protective coating:

  1. Surface Preparation: Start by cleaning the surface thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or loose material. Treat fungal or algal growth with a suitable solution such as Barrettine Mould & Mildew Cleaner as  directed. For metal surfaces, it’s essential to remove any rust or corrosion. This ensures that the paint adheres properly and provides a durable coating.

  2. Application Tools: Depending on the size and nature of the surface, you can use a brush, roller, or spray gun. For smaller areas or detailed work, a brush is ideal, while a roller or spray gun is more efficient for larger surfaces. When using a spray gun, ensure that you apply the paint evenly and maintain a consistent distance from the surface to avoid drips and uneven coverage.

  3. Applying the Paint: Apply the black bitumen paint in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next one. This helps to build up a strong, protective layer. Typically, two to three coats are sufficient for most applications.

  4. Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation during application and drying, especially when working indoors. This helps to avoid inhaling fumes and ensures that the paint dries properly.

  5. Weather Conditions: Avoid applying the paint in extreme weather conditions, such as very hot, cold, or humid weather. Ideal conditions are dry and mild temperatures.

Black bitumen, also known as asphalt or tar, is commonly used for corrosion protection in various applications, further information for corrosion protection for black bitumen and the coating thickness required to achieve the specific corrosion rating can be found on the Technical Information tab

Preparation:

Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.

For maximum protection prime bare surfaces with Palatine Zinc Rich Primer or Palatine Metal Primer.
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Fast Dry etching primer.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.

Application:

Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.

It is recommended that 2 coats of Palatine Carboblack Bitumen Paint should be applied by:

Conventional or HVLP spray.
Roller, Brush or Dip.

Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller on textured surfaces.
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume.
For application as a finish coat or onto wooden surfaces, a minimum of two coats is recommended.

Coverage / Drying Times:

Theoretical Coverage: 7 – 10m² per litre depending on surface to be treated. It is recommended to apply 2 coats.

(Coverage rate can be affected by such variables as type and condition of substrate, type of application equipment and individual method of application.)

Surface dry: 2 – 5 hours.

Drying time will vary according to temperature and humidity e.g. the drying times quoted will be
significantly longer in cold, damp conditions.

Storage: Stored in good condition and in original un-opened containers has a shelf life of 12 months

Thinning and Cleaning: Use Palatine White Spirit.

(Coverage rate can be affected by such variables as type and condition of substrate, type of application equipment and individual method of application.)

Corrosion Category Protection for Black Bitumen

C3 (Medium)
2 coats to get a 200 micron dft as per below.

Porous surfaces (e.g. concrete): 2–3m2/litre/coat
Non-porous surfaces (e.g. steel): 5-6m2/litre/coat

C4 (High)
2 coats to get a 400 micron dft as per below.

  3. steve gregory (verified owner)

    good to apply goes on well good coverage dried to a non sticky dry finish
    pleased with the product, too soon to say if it lasts well or not
    would buy again

  4. Paula (verified owner)

    Great paint, will buy again. Always very long lasting

  5. ABK (verified owner)

    Ordered a 5L tin. Delivery was very fast and the product is excellent.

    I applied one coat to one side of 8 off 6′ X 6′ fence panels and still have some left in the tin. The colour is great and I will be ordering more to complete the project. It’s time consuming to apply as the consistency is treacle like. The following day the overnight rain was sat on the fence panels and had not penetrated the wood. I have 100% confidence it will protect the wood and look great.

    I wore old cloths, gloves, eye protection and a mask when applying this product as its pretty strong stuff. Plenty of ventilation required when applying.

    I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent product.
