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

For an interesting alternative to Carboblack Black Bitumen Paint, take a look at green bitumen paint, which is also suitable for asphalt, wood and steelwork.

Black bitumen, also known as asphalt or tar, is commonly used for corrosion protection in various applications, further information for corrosion protection for black bitumen and the coating thickness required to achieve the specific corrosion rating can be found on the Technical Information tab

Preparation:

Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.

For maximum protection prime bare surfaces with Palatine Zinc Rich Primer or Palatine Metal Primer.
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Fast Dry etching primer.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.

Application:

Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.

It is recommended that 2 coats of Palatine Carboblack Bitumen Paint should be applied by:

Conventional or HVLP spray.
Roller, Brush or Dip.

Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller on textured surfaces.
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume.
For application as a finish coat or onto wooden surfaces, a minimum of two coats is recommended.

Coverage / Drying Times:

Theoretical Coverage: 7 – 10m² per litre depending on surface to be treated. It is recommended to apply 2 coats.

(Coverage rate can be affected by such variables as type and condition of substrate, type of application equipment and individual method of application.)

Surface dry: 2 – 5 hours.

Drying time will vary according to temperature and humidity e.g. the drying times quoted will be
significantly longer in cold, damp conditions.

Storage: Stored in good condition and in original un-opened containers has a shelf life of 12 months

Thinning and Cleaning: Use Palatine White Spirit.

(Coverage rate can be affected by such variables as type and condition of substrate, type of application equipment and individual method of application.)

Corrosion Category Protection for Black Bitumen

C1 (Very low) & C2 (Low)
Coating thickness (dry film thickness, dft) = 100 microns
To achieve that apply 2 coats at below application rates:

Porous surfaces (e.g. concrete): 4–6m2/litre/coat
Non-porous surfaces (e.g. steel): 10-12m2/litre/coat

C3 (Medium)
2 coats to get a 200 micron dft as per below.

Porous surfaces (e.g. concrete): 2–3m2/litre/coat
Non-porous surfaces (e.g. steel): 5-6m2/litre/coat

C4 (High)
2 coats to get a 400 micron dft as per below.

Porous surfaces (e.g. concrete): 1–1.5m2/litre/coat
Non-porous surfaces (e.g. steel): 2.5-3m2/litre/coat

What if the finish like on the Black Bitumen once it is dry?

When the Black Bitumen is first applied it may have a gloss appearance, however as it is exposed to the sun and fully dries it will get duller and have a matt finish

Can Black Bitumen paint be applied to galvanised steel surfaces?

Yes, the Black Bitumen can be applied to galvanised steel surfaces once the surface has been treated with a Mordant Solution or Etching Primer to etch to surface

    good to apply goes on well good coverage dried to a non sticky dry finish
    pleased with the product, too soon to say if it lasts well or not
    would buy again

  4. Paula (verified owner)

    Great paint, will buy again. Always very long lasting

  5. ABK (verified owner)

    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.
