Everbuild 901 Black Jack Bitumen Paint 5L Tin by Sika / Everbuild

The Everbuild 901 Black Jack Bitumen Paint is a solvent-based, full-bodied black bituminous paint supplied in a 5-litre tin. Upon drying, it forms an odourless and taint-free black film suitable for metal protection and overcoating wood and felt.

Key Features:

• Waterproof and Weatherproof: Provides an effective barrier against water ingress and withstands various weather conditions.

• Corrosion-Resistant: Offers protection against corrosion, enhancing the longevity of metal surfaces.

• Fast Drying: Dries quickly, allowing for efficient project completion.

• Versatile Application: Suitable for use on most common building surfaces, including iron, steel, lead, zinc, aluminium, asbestos-cement, concrete, stone, wood, felt, and brick.
  
  

Common Uses:

• Metal Protection: Ideal for corrugated iron sheets, fire escapes, stairways, ladders, storage tanks, gutters, downpipes, fences, railings, and gates.

• Protective Coating: Serves as a protective layer for concrete structures, stone, brick, concrete screeds, and sand/cement surfaces.

• Overcoating: Suitable for overcoating felt and wood to enhance durability.
  
  

Application Guidelines:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are sound, stable, and thoroughly clean and dry. Metal surfaces should be wire-brushed to remove rust. For long-term protection, an initial treatment with a rust-inhibitive product is recommended.

2. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply by brush or spray without thinning. A minimum of two coats is recommended, allowing the first coat to dry (typically 2-4 hours, depending on weather conditions) before applying the second.

3. Coverage: On porous surfaces, coverage is approximately 4-6 square meters per litre; on non-porous surfaces, up to 11 square meters per litre.
   
   

Limitations:

• Not suitable for areas where subsequent solvent contact is likely.

• Not recommended for use on potable drinking water tanks.

• Avoid inhalation of vapours in confined spaces; ensure adequate ventilation during application.

• Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
