Application:
A minimum of two coats of ADOCOAT BITUMEN PAINT should be applied by roller, brush or spray, the first coat being allowed to dry before the second is applied
NOTE. ADOCOAT BITUMEN PAINT may bleed through any paints subsequently applied over it. Apply a primer recommended by the paint manufacturer before over painting.
Drinking Water Tanks: Surfaces should be dry and free of mill scale, rust and dirt. All surfaces should be degreased immediately prior to coating. Apply by brush ensuring that all recesses, edges, rivet and bolt heads and nuts are coated thoroughly. Drying may be assisted by the provision of a forced air draught.
Apply a second coat, normally after 48hrs. It is important that the first coat is thoroughly dry before application of the second coat.
After the second coat has dried and before the tank is put into service it should be filled with cold drinking water and drained after not less than 4hrs. If a taste is detected in this water, the flushing should be repeated.
Cleaning:
Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with white spirit. If ADOCOAT BITUMEN PAINT has hardened RESOKLENS should be used to soften the material. Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with ADOWASH.

On metal and smooth surfaces 10m2 per litre, less on rough or porous surfaces.
Drying times will vary depending on weather conditions but is typically 48hours. Heavy application will result in extended drying times.
