The rubber modification keeps the cured film flexible, so it stays watertight under permanently wet conditions and is suitable for permanent immersion. It helps prevent the damage that moisture transfer causes, including efflorescence, mould growth, staining and paint peeling. It grips a wide range of substrates, is fast drying, and the maker lists it as non-toxic and non-flammable. It can be thinned with up to 50% water to make a bitumen paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndoors: not intended for interior finishing work or any area that needs a paintable or tileable surface.\u003cbr\u003eOutdoors: below-ground and non-exposed exterior surfaces such as garden retaining walls, planter boxes, plant pots, timber posts, water tanks and other non-critical moisture barrier jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable materials include concrete, masonry, cement sheeting, timber and metal (check the label for the full substrate list and do a small test area first).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStart with a clean, sound surface free of dust, grease, loose material and anything that could stop the membrane bonding. Stir the product well and apply it evenly with a brush or roller, then allow it to dry before any further coats. Check the label and Crommelin's full instructions for coverage, coat numbers and drying times before you start, and protect the cured membrane from damage if you will be backfilling against it. Clean tools before the product dries (as a water-based product, warm water is the usual method, but confirm on the pack).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot suitable where it will be exposed to UV or sunlight. It cannot be painted, tiled over, rendered or over-coated, and it is not for trafficable surfaces. If you need a UV-stable option, look at a different Crommelin product. Coverage and cure times depend on the surface and conditions, so treat the listed coverage as a guide and test a small area first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrommelin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlackseal Heavy Duty Bitumen Waterproofing Membrane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater-based bitumen emulsion, modified with a synthetic rubber co-polymer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrush or roller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoverage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 0.75 m² per 1L (retailer listed, guide only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDilution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 50% water to make a bitumen paint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelow-ground and non-UV-exposed exterior areas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot suitable for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUV exposure, painting, tiling, over-coating, trafficable surfaces\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe product itself is not combustible, but once the water has evaporated the organic components can burn or break down in a fire.
