Bitu Coat
Water-based Bitumen Protective Coating
Homesure wShield Bitu Coat 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 that helps resist moisture ingress, weathering and normal substrate movement under suitable application conditions.
Features & Uses
Features:
- Single-component, cold-applied coating
- Water-based bitumen protective coating
- Forms a continuous protective film
- Good flexibility and crack accommodation
- Adhesion to concrete, masonry, metal and wood
- 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
- Protected or sheltered non-trafficable surfaces where a liquid-applied damp-proofing coating is required
- Surface protection applications on sound substrates in refurbishment or new build applications

Note: Temperature, rain, and site conditions may affect product performance. Coverage and drying times vary with substrate condition, profile, and porosity. For technical details, refer to the TDS.
Health, Safety & Handling
- Follow safe manual handling practices
- Wear suitable PPE, including gloves and eye protection
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying
- Do not apply to frozen substrates or surfaces affected by standing water
- Protect freshly applied coating from water until fully cured
- Keep out of reach of children
- Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local authority requirements; avoid discharge into drains, watercourses or soil
For health, safety, and handling guidance, refer to the SDS.
Shelf Life & Storage
- Shelf life: 18 months when stored correctly
