421 Mod Bit Adhesive - Trowel Grade

Mule-Hide #421 Mod Bit Flashing Adhesive – Trowel Grade is a high quality formulation for use as a cold-applied bonding agent for SBS modified bitumen roof systems. Heavy, “trowel-grade” consistency makes this product ideal for flashing details, attachment of membrane to steep slopes and parapet walls and a variety of waterproofing repairs, especially at moving joints where its flexibility and elasticity make it superior to standard plastic cements. In addition, the formulation is non-destructive to asphalt based roofing membranes.
