The product, in perspective.
This bitumen coating is listed by Crown for tank linings. Confirm the tank material, service conditions and the current technical and safety guidance before specifying a lining.
The separately specified bituminous composition for drinking-water tanks. This exact tank formulation is distinct from general black bituminous paint. Do not infer tank suitability from another product’s colour or family name.
Where it works.
The documented surface or use for Bituminous Composition For Drinking Water Tanks is metal and concrete tanks. Identify the actual material and its condition before selecting the preparation and finishing system. An existing coating, a newly prepared base and a repaired area can need different treatment.
- The separately specified bituminous composition for drinking-water tanks.
- Available quotation packs and component requirements are checked for your selected product, rather than inferred from another grade.
Before you start.
Follow the sheet’s preparation route for the tank material, removing contamination and loose material and making the base suitable for the coating system.
For a useful specification check, share whether the surface is bare or previously treated, the name of the existing coating if known, and any visible damage or moisture exposure. Preparation products should be selected for that condition before the finishing material is applied.
Companion products to specify
The technical sheet references these materials for its preparation, thinning or coating scenarios. Confirm the scenario for your substrate.
Application and project planning.
Use the complete documented application and commissioning instructions, including the required drying and curing arrangements before service.
This exact tank formulation is distinct from general black bituminous paint. Do not infer tank suitability from another product’s colour or family name.
Measure the area to be treated and allow for the number of coats required by the coating system. Surface texture, absorption, application method and material losses can change the amount needed. Tell us the area and proposed system when requesting packs; the published coverage is a planning reference, not a guarantee of your project’s consumption.

Good questions, useful answers.
Can general Black Bituminous Paint be substituted?
The drinking-water-tank composition has its own specification. Request the exact tank product and have the intended tank material and service checked.
What should I include in my quotation?
Give the exact product name, requested pack size, quantity and relevant colour reference. Add the surface, application and destination so the product and delivery requirements can be checked together.
How do I choose the right pack and quantity?
Use the available pack choices and the quantity required by your coating or installation plan. Tell us the area, number of coats or relevant joint dimensions if you need help assembling a material list.
Can I confirm a colour from the product picture?
The image represents product packaging, not an exact shade match. Use a manufacturer colour reference for a coloured product, or specify that colour is not applicable for the material you need.
Keep the specification close.
Use the full manufacturer technical information when planning preparation and application. Include the exact product and system details when contacting KariVex about a quotation.
