Byproducts/ Water proofing Materials

At our own refinery we manufacture bitumen based products which can be used in water proofing. The products include

Bitubond

Bitubond is manufactured from selected grades of bitumen with mineral oils. It is of semi-liquid, creamy consistency and supplied in ready to use containers.

Uses

Bituplast

A ‘Ready to use’ waterproofing compound formulated out of special grade of oxidized bitumen, carefully blended and compounded with fibrous and inert mineral fillers and volatile solvents to keep it plastic.

It remains plastic for a considerable length of time. Although the skin and eventually the interior hardens to some extent after application, a little further change takes place after a certain plastic limit is reached. It is therefore ideal under conditions where a degree of expansion, contraction and vibration is expected.

Bituplast can be applied even by unskilled labour after a little practise. It does not creep or flow when applied on a vertical or sloping surface. it adheres firmly to most surfaces. it is ideal for sealing of cracks, crevices on the roofing decks, walls, window skill and virtually all nooks and corners where accessibility of other standard methods is generally difficult.

Uses

Bitumen Solution : IS-158

This is a multipurpose ready to use Bituminous Black Solution and is Lead free, Acid, Alkali and Heat resistant anti corrosive paint. It is manufactured to a specific formula for protecting the internal and external surfaces of Concrete, Masonary, Pipes and Storage tanks of Metal against corrosion. This can be easily and quickly applied by trowel. It is manufactured from bitumen solution grade obtained from our own refinery, blended with highly volatile solution to make it ready for use and test drying.

Uses

Bitukote

Bitukote is a dispersion of selected grades of bitumen in water with inert and fibrous fillers. In original form, it is dark brown in colour and on application, as it sets, turns black. Once it sets, it remains plastic and is able to accommodate movements of pipes or vessels whose thermal insulation it protects.

Bitukote when applied over thermal insulation, protects it and keeps the moisture away and maintains their thermal efficiency. It gives joint-less coating and the coating is impervious to moisture. It possesses plastic qualities and can withstand vibration, temperature fluctuations and accidental shocks.

Uses

Bituprimer : IS-3384

Bitumen Primer is a bitumen based primer for the surface conditioning of concrete and timber substrates prior to the application of heat fused APP and SBS modified bitumen membranes such as UniTorch.

Features

Application

Bitumen Primer may be applied with brush or roller. The applied film must be allowed to dry before being overlayed with any waterproofing treatment so as to avoid solvent entrapment.

Surface Preparation

As with all surface coatings, good preparation is of paramount importance to the success and longlife of the system.

Cable Compound

Cable jointing boxes and bus bars are to be filled with a suitable insulating material. Bitumen base filling compounds are ideal materials for cable jointing boxes, filling, impregnating and manufacture of insulating tapes.

The compound has highest degree of electrical insulation. When heated it can be poured and once it cools, it forms into a hard mass. The compound has low water vapours permeability, it is insoluble in water and subsoil chemicals. Hence it gives a high performance for electrical application as it offers resistance to weathering and to chemical reactions. The compound remains stable and it neither froths nor emits excessive fumes when heated to a temperature of 80°C above the softening point. Wherever the compound is used, the life is prolonged of metals like copper, brass, iron, lead or aluminium, zinc, galvanized steel and their alloys, because of the protective nature of compound.
