Roofing Felt Adhesive – Strong Bond – Outdoor Use

Product Overview

This Professional Roofing Felt Adhesive comes in a 5-liter tin and is crafted as a cold-applied, black, oxidized bitumen adhesive. It is specifically formulated for bonding roofing felt to a variety of common substrates. The adhesive creates a tough, flexible film that accommodates thermal movement, ensuring adhesion across varying seasonal temperatures.

Offering robust performance, it bonds effectively on concrete, asphalt, metal, wood, and existing felt, providing a consistent seal for lap joints and coverage layers. Its resistance to dilute acids, alkalis, salt solutions, water, and alcohol ensures reliable performance in exposed roofing conditions, enhancing the longevity of built-up felt systems.

This adhesive is also 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 application with a brush or mop, it develops full tack within 15-30 minutes depending on ambient conditions, providing reliable laying characteristics on-site.
