APPLICATION GUIDE

Clean all moss, lichen, debris and contaminants from the surface. Ensure all corners are clean and gutters are free from plant growth. Aqua-Block can be applied to damp surfaces or when rain is expected but ideally areas should be free of standing water which may contain debris and contaminants. Large cracks, splits and nail holes should be repaired prior to application.
Aqua-Block requires no primer on most surfaces with the exception of asphalt and bitumen which should be primed before application. Drying time can be up to 72 hours depending on surface and temperatures. The product may remain soft for a further period but this does not affect it’s waterproofing qualities.

LIMITATIONS

Inspect surface and carry out an adhesion test to any existing coating or substrate prior to application. Not for use in areas where solvent or oil contact is likely. Not suitable for walkways, balconies, timber and new concrete.

The Bitumen Roofing Range from Arc has all the products you need when installing, maintaining or repairing your roof. The range consists of primer, paints (black and aluminium), adhesives and waterproofing solutions (overall or crack sealing).

ARC BLACK BITUMEN PAINT

A black bitumen paint for use as a protective coating for metal work, pipes, tanks, etc.
Bitumen Paint can be used for coating a wide variety of substrates including metal, concrete, stone and asbestos.  The dry coating is waterproof and weatherproof.

ARC BITUMEN PRIMER

Primer can be applied to a wide variety of substrates including metal, concrete, asbestos cement etc. It can be applied to damp but not wet surfaces. Due to the nature of the solvent used, it will dry rapidly after application.

ARC ALUMINIUM REFLECTIVE PAINT

A solvent based aluminium paint manufactured using a specially selected grade of bitumen and high-quality aluminium flake. It provides a solar reflective, bright silver finish on bituminous roof systems.
Aluminium Reflective Paint is used to provide protection to roofs against sun and weather, particularly on exposed bituminous surfaces.

ARC TROWEL MASTIC

An easy to apply bituminous mastic, formulated using high quality raw materials.
Can be used for filling cracks, holes, gaps etc., on roofing and most construction materials.

ARC ROOFING FELT ADHESIVE

A solvent carried high viscosity bituminous adhesive with strong initial “grab” properties.
A cold applied roofing adhesive formulated for convenience and safety, based upon the same oxidised bitumen as found in roofing felts, thereby ensuring affinity and a strong, final bond. It is used for bonding roofing felt to metal, timber or concrete, sealing roofing felt laps and bonding chippings to flat roofs.

ARC ALL WEATHER ROOFING COMPOUND

Arc All Weather Roofing Compound is an easily applied black, fibre filled bitumen solution which will resist “wash-off” from rainfall soon after application. The product does not contain asbestos.
Suitable for weatherproofing most types of roofs including asphalt, asbestos cement, corrugated iron etc. It can be used either on its own or in conjunction with a reinforcing membrane such as glass fibre.
