BA Flintkote 5 Bitumen Emulsion
BA Flintkote 5 Bitumen Emulsion is a single-pack, fibrated and stable water-borne emulsion which cures to form a firm and flexible bitumen waterproofing membrane. BA Flintkote 5 is designed for use on horizontal and vertical surface. BA Flintkote 5 is suitable for use as waterproof membrane on concrete, asbestos cement, roofing felt, mastic asphalt, slates, tiles and metal surface.
USAGE
Waterproofing Typical applications will include concrete roofs,
asbestos cement roof, exposed metal roofs, rejuvenation of asphalt
roof, retaining walls, external concrete walls, above-grade floor slabs,
bathrooms, kitchens, balconies and planter boxes.
Insulation Provides a vapour barrier for cold
storage rooms, mushroom houses and similar
installations. Suitable for application in food stores.
Concrete Protection To protect concrete from
carbonation, spalling and sulphate attack.
Metal Protection As a protective coating against corrosion
of pipes, structural steelworks and other metallic equipment.
ADVANTAGES
Easy to apply by brush, trowel and sprayer.
Built-in short fibre enhances the membrane’s toughness and durability.
Forms a seamless and lap free membrane over the substrate.
Water-based and non-toxic.
Cures to form a flexible resilient waterproofing barrier over a wide range of temperatures.
No flow or sagging of the film at elevated temperatures even on vertical surface.
Cures to form a flexible resilient waterproofing barrier over a wide range of temperatures.
Excellent adhesion to the concrete substrate prevents lateral migration of water under.
Can be applied to damp surface without standing water such as green concrete surface.
STANDARD COMPLIANCE
ASTM D1227-79 Type 4: American Standard For Emulsified
Asphalt Used as Protective Coating for Roofing
SS-133: Singapore Standard For Bitumen Emulsion For Roof Waterproofing
SPECIFICATION CLAUSE
Liquid applied bituminous waterproof membrane where shown
on the drawings shall be BA Flintkote 5 bitumen emulsion
obtained from BA . It should be used in accordance with
BA’s current product data sheet.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTION
Surface Preparation
Surfaces shall be dry, clean and free from dust, dirt, oil, grease,
moss and loose material.
Priming
1) a coat of 1:1 mixture of BA Flintkote 5 and water or
2) BA Flintkote PF-4 Bitumen Paint or BA Flintkote
Penetration Primer at a coverage of 0.1 - 0.15 ltr/m2. Allow to dry
prior to Flintkote 5 application. Metal surfaces must be primed with
BA Flintkote PF-4 Bitumen Paint or BA Flintkote Penetration
Primer at a coverage of 0.1 - 0.15 ltr/m2. Allow to dry prior to Flintkote 5 application.
Membrane Application
Stir the emulsion well before use. BA Flintkote 5 may be
applied by roller, brush or spray for a minimum of 2 coats. Allow to
dry between coats and apply each coat at right angles to the previous
coat. BA Flintkote 5 normally cures within 24 hours of application.
For maximum durability, the coating can be reinforced with BA Flintkote
FG4 fabric or equivalent. Protect from rain and frost until cured. For exposed
surface subjected to direct sunlight, apply 2 coats of BA Flintkote
Aluminium or BA Flintkote Decoralt on the cured membrane.
COVERAGE
Coverage rates will vary depending on the actual surface environment
and application. The typical coverage is about 1.5litres/m2 for 2 coats
application. A short-fibre reinforced bitumen emulsion for general
waterproofing, concrete protection and metal protection.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Flammability : Non-flammable
Skin Contact : Occasional contact is unlikely to have any adverse
effect except on particularly sensitive skin. As a general precaution,
avoid repeated or prolonged contact. Remove skin contamination when
wet with water. Use a proprietary hand cleaner if the product has dried.
Eye Contact: Unlikely to cause damage, no special
precautions are necessary. However, as eyes are a
sensitive area, contact should be avoided. In the event of
accidental contact, irrigate immediately with plenty of water.
CLEANING OF TOOLS
Clean immediately after use with water. Use kerosene or white spirit if
the material has dried. During work, place tools in water when not in use.
STORAGE
A minimum of 12 months in original sealed
containers stored under cover at temperature between
5°C and 40°C. Must be protected from freezing conditions.
