Water-based Bitumen Protective Coating — Champ variant
Homesure wShield Bitu Champ is a single-component, cold-applied water-based bitumen protective coating for maintenance, refurbishment, damp-proofing and surface protection. It cures to form a continuous protective film with increased flexibility and movement accommodation under suitable application conditions.
Features & Uses
Features:
- Single-component, cold-applied coating
- Water-based bitumen protective coating
- Forms a continuous protective coating
- Greater flexibility and movement accommodation
- Increased elongation performance
- Resistant to weathering and atmospheric exposure
- No heating or hot works required
- Brush, roller, broom or spray application
Uses:
- Maintenance and refurbishment, damp-proofing and moisture-resistant protective applications on concrete, masonry, metal and wood surfaces
- Protective coating for foundations and substructures in non-structural applications
- External walls and exposed concrete surfaces where a more flexible coating is required
