Carboxide Green Bitumen Paint is an attractive alternative to traditional black bitumised paint. A high blend of modified bitumen, alkyd resin and additives, this paint provides an excellent flexible weatherproofing product. Because of its versatility, Bitumen Paint can be used in a wide variety of applications and on several types of surfaces. Use on wood, metal, previously painted surfaces and most other surfaces.
While carboxide green bitumen can be applied directly, it will perform best when applied over selected Palatine Primers and Undercoats. We recommend it for protecting, waterproofing and weatherproofing: metal; asphalt; wood and concrete. Take a look at our other weatherproofing related products.
Solvent-borne, semi gloss finish formulated as a protective top coat for exteriors
Surface Condition: Ensure the area is free from dust, oil, grease, old coatings, and surface contaminants.
Bare Surfaces: While it can be applied directly, it performs best over a primer.
* Bare Metal: For maximum protection, prime with Palatine Zinc Rich Primer or Palatine Metal Primer.
* Non-Ferrous Metals: Use Palatine Fast Dry Etching Primer.
Previously Painted Surfaces: Rub down previously gloss-painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly to ensure a good “key” for adhesion.
Testing: Perform a test patch (approx. 100x100mm) before full application to check for compatibility and colour satisfaction.
Application
Environmental Conditions: Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C) and dry conditions.
Mixing: Stir thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes before use. A drill stirrer or a wooden batten at least 25mm wide is recommended.
Methods: Can be applied by brush, roller, dip, or spray (conventional or HVLP).
* Smooth Surfaces: Use a short to medium-pile roller.
* Textured Surfaces: Use a long-pile roller.
Coats: A minimum of two coats is recommended for use as a finish coat or when applying to wooden surfaces.
Overcoat: after 24 hours. Drying time will vary according to temperature and humidity e.g. the drying times quoted will be significantly longer in cold, damp conditions.
Theoretical Coverage: 13.3m² 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.)
Thinning and Cleaning Thinning: Dilute no more than 10% with White Spirit (if required for spray application).
Cleaning: Clean all equipment immediately after use with White Spirit.
If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix before use.
Q: What is Carboxide Green Bitumen Paint?
A: Carboxide Green Bitumen is a green alternative to traditional black bitumen paint, made from a high blend of modified bitumen, alkyd resin and additives to create an excellent, flexible, weatherproof coating.
Q: What can I use it on?
A: It’s a versatile coating that can be used on wood, metal, previously painted surfaces, and is also recommended for asphalt and concrete where you need waterproofing/weatherproofing protection.
Q: Do I need a primer first, or can it be applied direct?
A: It can be applied directly, but it will perform best over selected Palatine Primers and Undercoats. For maximum protection on bare metal, prime first (e.g., Zinc Rich Primer or Metal Primer). For non-ferrous metals, use a fast-dry etching primer.
Q: Does it provide an odourless finish once applied?
A: Yes, once the paint has fully dried, it forms a protective film that is both odourless and taint-free.
Q: Can I thin the paint for spray application?
A: Yes, you can dilute the paint by no more than ten percent by volume using Palatine White Spirit if you are using a spray gun.

First time using this product, so only ordered 1 ltr of the green to try a sample area. Well impressed with both coverage and colour, so will order more to finish the area I’m doing.

Very promising results (first time trying): good coverage and fine, rich, dignified colour. With a good undercoat, I’d still recommend two topcoats for best results, with long, fairly quick and smooth brush strokes (assuming you are using a good, wide brush for larger areas). In colder weather, it can be hard on the hands working it in to any cracks (I was doing it at the minimum 10 degrees), so I would assume it is quite a bit easier in warmer weather, and indeed best results probably obtained when applying in about 20 degrees plus. (Make sure you stir well, that the first coat is thoroughly dry before applying a second coat, and wear good, thick gloves when applying.) Can’t comment yet on its longevity, of course, but all early signs are first rate – especially in comparison with other standard paints I have previously used.
