Bitumen Rubber Paint

[Mr Pugs]

Evening

 

I am about to repaint my barge which is presently painted with bitumen

Is Bitumen Rubber Paint different than standard bitumen paint ?

If so has anyone used it ?

Did I ask a hard question ?

Did I ask a hard question ?

 

How about a brand and product name or a link to the product so those interested can have a look and answer.

 

Rubber and bitumen do not seem like natural bedfellows in paint. maybe you are talking about one of the "improved" bitumen blacking products like Rylard Premium.

[Murflynn]

Google says that there are several brands of bitumen rubber paint on the market, including one from screwfix.

[Tony Brooks]

Such information as the makers care to give indicates that the brand leader is a solvent free product so is water based.

 

It also says non-porous surfaces need a special primer but they do not list bitumen substrate. They also say that the maker should be consulted before use on projects.

 

the main use seems to be to provide a waterproof membrane for roofs, brick and and concrete.

 

[Mr Pugs]

Yep there are many brands available, just wondering if any of you lads over there have used it ?

[Murflynn]

in the absence of anything to the affirmative, it would seem not.

Go for it and report back with your findings after its been on for a while, could be the best thing since sliced bread.

And it might protect your hull as well as sliced bread would!

Sounds like what we paint on concrete floors in new houses to form a waterproof barrier before the floor screed goes down. Mk

The question is how is responds to the inevitable abrasions it will be exposed to in boating. If a scrape allows water under a skin it wouldn't be appropriate. This isn't much of a risk in tanks.

I have used it for many applications, bridge decks, sealing floors in plant rooms and bunding areas to avoid water egress to the floor below, roofs and water tanks just to name a few. It is an excellent product, was thinking you could use it to black a boat.
