Bitochem - M

Bitochem - M is acid alkali resisting mastic for use as a protective impervious layer for concrete, brick work steel etc. Bitochem - M mastic have good resistance to large number of mildly corrosive conditions. The floor system in most factories comprises a structural load carrying floor, usually with a screed and with a wearing finish. The structural floor and screed together with, for convenience be called a sub - floor and are assumed to be constructed from normal or rapid hardening Portland cement, and therefore concrete made from it are attacked by acids and chemicals.

The risk of corrosion of steel reinforcement must also be considered. If acids, salts, or chemical can reach the steel it will inevitably corroded. It should be particularly noted that solution or common salt, which do not attack concrete, may reach steel reinforcement and produce corrosion, and as such liquid-tight protection is therefore required.

Bitochem-M mastic is an invaluable material for use as a preventive coating concrete, brick work wood, iron, etc. where corrosion has to be considered. Its adhesion to concrete surface is excellent. It is applied over rough concrete surface previously primed with Bitochem - P primer. For wear and tear as a floor cover, we recommend 15 to 20mm thick layer of Bitochem, mastic compound and for general cover work such as for walls or vertical surface we recommend 12 to 15mm thick layer.
