Product Overview:

The Cromar Flat Roof Cold Gritting & Chipping Adhesive 25 Litre Pallet Deal (4 x 25L Drums) is a professional-grade, bitumen-based adhesive designed for bonding stone chippings and aggregates to flat or low-pitched roofs. This Trade Size, Trade Price, Money Saver Deal offers unbeatable value for contractors and roofing professionals, providing excellent coverage, strong adhesion, and reliable weather protection in one convenient pallet pack.

Formulated as a cold-applied oxidised bitumen compound, this adhesive requires no heating or dilution, making it safer and easier to use on-site. Once cured, it forms a durable, weatherproof surface that enhances roof lifespan, protects against solar heat build-up, and delivers a tough, damage-resistant finish. Ideal for use on built-up felt and mastic asphalt surfaces, it provides the final bonding layer for applying roofing chippings.
