Roofing Adhesive – Synthetic – Residential & Commercial

Product Overview

This high-performance roofing felt adhesive is designed for bonding roofing felt to a variety of common substrates. The cold-applied, black, oxidized bitumen adhesive forms a tough, flexible film that accommodates thermal movement and maintains adhesion across seasonal temperature changes.

This adhesive provides strong bonding performance on concrete, asphalt, metal, wood, and existing felt, creating a consistent seal for lap joints and full-coverage bonding layers. Its resistance to dilute acids, alkalis, salt solutions, water, and alcohol supports reliable performance in exposed roofing conditions, enhancing the durability of built-up felt systems.

Additionally, this adhesive is suitable for use as a cold-gritting solution, allowing the application of chippings to the final felt layer for UV protection and surface durability. Designed for brush or mop application, it develops full tack within 15-30 minutes depending on ambient drying conditions, ensuring predictable laying characteristics on-site.

Features & Benefits

• Cold-applied bitumen adhesive: Provides full-coverage bonding without the need for heating equipment.
• High bond strength: Forms a durable bond suitable for securing roofing felts to typical roof substrates.
• Flexible cured film: Hardens and softens with changing temperatures to maintain adhesion and reduce stress on joints.
• Chemical and water resistance: Resists dilute acids, alkalis, salt solutions, water, and alcohol for long-term exterior performance.
• Suitable for gritting: Enables application of protective chippings as a cold-gritting layer on suitable roof slopes.
• Consistent application behavior: Brush or mop applied, with controlled tack development for reliable laying sequences.
• Material compatibility: Bonds effectively to concrete, asphalt, metal, wood, and existing roofing felt.
• Container size: 1 litre provides a compact quantity suited to repair work, detail areas, and smaller surface applications.

Applications

• Bonding roof felts: Used to secure felt layers to wood, metal, concrete, asphalt, or existing felt.
• Lap sealing: Provides reliable bonding for side and end laps in multi-layer felt systems.
• Gritting adhesive: Accepts stone chippings for UV and surface protection on low-slope roofs.
• Roof maintenance work: Ideal for sealing and repairing tasks.
