Product Information
Full details
Roof Pro Bitumen Paint is an essential solution for homeowners and professional contractors looking to provide long-term moisture protection for roofs, metalwork, and masonry. It acts as a heavy-duty, water-resistant shield against harsh weather conditions, significantly extending the lifespan of exterior structures. While it provides an incredibly durable finish, users should note that the drying process is slow and the material is strictly intended for exterior use due to its strong odor and chemical composition.

FAQs
Can I use Roof Pro Bitumen Paint on plastic gutters?
No, it is primarily designed for metal, masonry, and bituminous surfaces and may not bond correctly to plastic.
How long does it take to become rain-resistant?
While it starts drying quickly, it is recommended to avoid applying if rain is forecast within the next 24 hours.
Is this product safe to use inside a garage?
No, this paint should only be used in well-ventilated outdoor environments due to the solvent content.
Do I need a primer?
Usually no, provided the surface is clean and dry; however, highly porous surfaces may require a thin base coat first.
Can I paint over this later?
Bitumen paints are difficult to paint over with standard emulsion or gloss paints, as the bitumen may bleed through.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick to spread easily
Warm the container slightly in a bucket of warm water to improve flow, or stir thoroughly for several minutes.
Coating remains tacky after 24 hours
High humidity or cold temperatures can delay drying; ensure adequate ventilation and wait for a drier, warmer day.
Poor adhesion to surface
The surface was likely damp or contained loose debris; strip back the area, clean thoroughly, and re-apply in dry conditions.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent water resistance for exterior surfaces
- Highly durable against extreme weather conditions
- Versatile use across metal, masonry, and roofing materials
- Helps prevent rust and corrosion on metal structures
Cons
- Not suitable for indoor use due to strong fumes
- Requires significant drying time before it is fully cured
- Difficult to remove from skin or clothing if spilled
- Limited color options (Black only)
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the surface is completely free of loose dirt, moss, oil, or existing loose coatings. Use a wire brush for masonry or a degreaser for metal to ensure proper adhesion. The paint can be applied using a brush, roller, or heavy-duty sprayer depending on the size of the project.
Compatibility: Works well on bituminous roofing felt, asphalt, concrete, stone, and ferrous metals. It is generally not compatible with plastic surfaces or surfaces previously treated with non-bituminous coatings unless tested first.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed. To clean equipment, use white spirit or a dedicated bituminous solvent immediately after use, as the paint hardens into a permanent coating that is difficult to remove once dry.
