Product Description
Carboblack is a black bitumen paint for asphalt, wood and steelwork with great weather proofing properties. It is an ideal paint to protect against damage from water and harsh weather. This solvent based bituminous black paint dries to form a weatherproof film. It widely used in the agricultural and marine sectors. Uses for Carboblack include boat hulls; structural steel; concrete roofing, pipelines and asphalt surfaces.
Tips for applying. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry and repair any cracks. Treat fungal or algal growth with Abicide Solution as directed. Stir well to apply by brush, roller or spray. Over coating with conventional solvent based paints will result in black bleeding through. To protect your surface from heat and UV light damage, you might want to consider coating with Carbosil Bitumen Aluminium

Ordered a 5L tin. Delivery was very fast and the product is excellent.
I applied one coat to one side of 8 off 6′ X 6′ fence panels and still have some left in the tin. The colour is great and I will be ordering more to complete the project. It’s time consuming to apply as the consistency is treacle like. The following day the overnight rain was sat on the fence panels and had not penetrated the wood. I have 100% confidence it will protect the wood and look great.
I wore old cloths, gloves, eye protection and a mask when applying this product as its pretty strong stuff. Plenty of ventilation required when applying.
I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent product.
