Flintkote 5 bitumen emulsion is a single-pack, fibrated and stable water-borne emulsion which cures to form a firm and flexible bitumen waterproofing membrane. Flintkote 5 is designed for use on horizontal and vertical surface. Flintkote 5 is suitable for use as waterproof membrane on concrete, asbestos cement, roofing felt, mastic asphalt, slates, tiles and metal surface.
(Note: Flintkote 5 is previously marketed under the brand name Shellkote Type 5, Shell Bitumen Emulsion No.5 and Weatherkote Type 5. Product quality and specification remains unchanged.)
Benefits

- Built-in short fibre enhances the membrane's toughness and durability.
- Forms a seamless and lap free membrane over the substrate.
- Water-based and non-toxic.
- Cures to form a flexible resilient waterproofing barrier over a wide range of temperatures.
- No flow or sagging of the film at elevated temperatures even on vertical surface.
- Excellent adhesion to the concrete substrate prevents lateral migration of water under.
- Can be applied to damp surface without standing water such as green concrete surface.
