Watco Bitu-Mend Advanced
Litres required: 0.00L
Based on 0.04 m² per litre- Lightwork of heavy-duty repairs
- Structural strength solutions
Watco Bitu-Mend Advanced is a heavy-duty asphalt repair mortar for potholes, damaged work areas and worn surfaces exposed to forklift, lorry and HGV traffic. Its epoxy resin and granite aggregate formulation is designed for demanding repairs where a conventional bitumen-based patch may not offer the required durability.
Apply at depths from 10mm to 100mm to repair holes, splits and damaged asphalt in car parks, loading bays and gangways. It can also be used on concrete. The trowel-applied mixture can be worked around edges and into crevices, then compacted to create a firm repair with a hard, black, slip-resistant finish.
The range of applications includes bedding and fixing roller shutter door guide rails, repairing trip hazards and resurfacing worn local areas. Prepare each repair to a sound base and use Watco Tack Coat primer, as required by the technical sheet. Correct priming, thorough mixing and compaction are important parts of the repair system.
Choose Advanced for heavy-use repairs within its stated depth range. If the hole is deeper than 100mm, Bitu-Mend Deep Fill offers application up to 200mm. Both products need a curing period before traffic returns, so plan the work around the operating temperature and the access needs of the area.
Surface Preparation
Remove loose material, oil and contamination from the void. The substrate must be sound and preferably dry; slight damp is acceptable. Prime prepared surfaces with Watco Tack Coat before applying the repair mortar.

Directions for Use
Mix the curing agent into the resin thoroughly using a wide-bladed tool. Immediately combine the mixed liquids with the granite aggregate, coating every particle. Place the compound into the void, work it into gaps and lightly tamp with wood to remove air pockets. Finish with a trowel.
Limitations
Keep the repair within the stated thickness range. Allow the required curing time before traffic returns; lower temperatures extend it. Store above 10°C and protect from frost. Remove food products from the work area during application and cure. Read the technical and safety sheets before use.
Product FAQs
Does Bitu-Mend Advanced need primer?

Can it take forklift and lorry traffic?
It is designed for heavy-use areas including loading bays and car parks. Allow the full heavy-traffic cure time before reopening.
What thickness should I apply?
Apply 10–100mm. For deeper holes, choose Bitu-Mend Deep Fill instead.
What is the coverage and cure time?
