Bitumen is hydrophobic, i.e., it repels, or does not mix easily with water. This characteristic makes bitumen-based paints and coatings ideal for waterproofing a wide variety of objects and structures.
To provide damp proofing for below-ground concrete structures which are above the water table, polycoat is used. It can also be used as a protective coating for built-up roofing systems and other exposed surfaces. Prior to cladding, the coating is also used as a moisture vapor barrier on block works and concrete surfaces.
