Chipping Compound
Description
A solvent based, black bituminous adhesive. The
product is supplied ready for use and must not be
diluted or heated.
Uses
Xtra-Seal Chipping Compound is a cold applied
bitumen solution for bonding mineral aggregate to
mastic asphalt or built up bitumen membranes
systems. It is ready for use and is ideal for bonding
chippings to roofs that are flat or of low pitch up to a
maximum of 1:80 fall.
Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface is structurally sound, clean and
dry. If necessary remove any surface contaminates
such as grease/oil, moss, lichen, or any other organic
growth with a suitable fungicidal wash.
Any blisters in existing membranes should be cut and
rebounded and sealed. Any cracks or splits should be
made good using Xtra-Seal Repair Compound.
Preferably the roof should be dry but Xtra-Seal
Chipping Compound can be applied to damp (but not
wet) surfaces.
Application
Xtra-Seal Chipping Compound should be applied by
brush or squeegee and the chippings scattered onto
the coated surface immediately. Xtra-Seal Chipping
Compound has immediate resistance to rainfall.
Suitable chippings for use are Limestone, Granite and
white Calcined Spar and should be 6mm or 12mm
grade.

Health and Safety
Flammability: Flammable
Keep away from sources of ignition including pilot
lights and sparks.
Take precautionary measures against static
discharge.
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.
DO NOT SMOKE
If used in an enclosed space ensure thorough
ventilation of the area (using flame proof mechanical
blowers if necessary) to avoid any accumulation of
vapour until the product has dried. In case of fire use
dry powder, carbon dioxide (CO2), foam, sand or
earth. Never use water as this may spread the fire.
Note: Electric motors, light/power switches and steel
tools may generate sparks sufficient to ignite the
product or vapour, resulting in an explosion and/or
fire.
Skin Contact: Contains solvents that cause de-fatting
of the skin and, in extreme circumstances dermatitis.
Avoid contact by careful working and use of barrier
creams or wear gloves. Remove skin contamination
immediately with a proprietary cleaner and wash
hands with soap and water.
Eye Contact: Avoid contact. Could have an irritating
effect. In the event of accidental contact, wash eyes
with clean water for 15 minutes and obtain medical
attention.
Inhalation: Contains low volatility solvent. When used
on roofs stand upwind of the work and avoid
inhalation.
Switch off all working ventilation inlets prior to the use
of the material; leave covered until there is no odour
of the solvent in the vicinity.
Indoors, use only in well ventilated areas. In the event
of discomfort as a result of inhalation move person to
fresh air. If discomfort persists obtain medical
attention.
Oral ingestion: With proper handling this should not
occur. The possibility can be minimized by not
consuming food in the working area and by washing
hands thoroughly before eating, drinking or smoking.
