DESCRIPTION
Bitumastic is a single component, solvent based bitumen
rubber mastic joint sealant. The sealant on curing forms
a tough and flexible seal. It has excellent adhesion to
concrete, brickwork, asphalt and most construction material
substrates. The mastic sealant is modified with non asbestos 1
fibres to make the sealant thixotropic and slump free when
applied on vertical areas.
