How to use Bitumen Enamel?

BITUMEN ENAMEL should be broken up into small pieces and put into the kettle. Heat should be applied slowly until there is a quantity of melted Enamel on the bottom of the kettle. Kettles used previously for bitumen should be thoroughly cleaned before use.

The quantity of enamel remaining in the kettle from previous use should not exceed 10% of the fresh charge. The maximum temperature of Enamel in the kettle should never exceed 250 C and the Enamel in the kettle should be stirred constantly during the use. The normal application temperature of Enamel is related to its grade but it is normally between 220-240 C.

Enamel above this temperature should be rejected. Enamel should not be applied to the primer pipe when the metal temperature is below 7 C and care should be taken for the pipe is free from dust, oil, and moisture.
