Bitumen is often used in roofing and installation works. Its use allows you to seal the seams of the floors, prevent moisture from entering the building structure.
When mixing bitumen, used engine oil is often used as a plasticizer. Currently, this method of product use is one of the most effective ways of its disposal.
In some cases, the use of used engine oil is prohibited, because it can lead to negative consequences. Therefore, before starting work, you should carefully familiarize yourself with its features and basic requirements for use.
The use of waste oil for wood impregnation
Owners of private houses, the main structure of which consists of various kinds of lumber, are wondering about the use of "mining" for the treatment of wood surfaces.
This method of impregnation has a large number of disadvantages, which are:
- Dangers to human health. The pores of the tree can absorb the harmful components of the used oil. As you know, natural wood has the ability to "breathe", and therefore carcinogens can get into the room and cause health problems in the residents of the house;
- An unaesthetic form of processed wooden elements that can change their shade and texture;
- Impossibility of further processing of parts through the use of varnish or paint.
For these reasons, it is not recommended to add used oil to the bitumen solution, which will subsequently be used during roofing or installation works in a wooden house.
Types of oil that can not be added to bitumen
It is also strictly forbidden to add used oils to bitumen, which were used to ensure the operation of industrial, agricultural or other heavy equipment. The reason for this is the increased content of carcinogenic substances in their composition.
It can be concluded that used engine oil should not be added to bitumen, which will be used in the processing of a residential building. For these purposes, it is worth choosing high-quality and safe plasticizers for health.
Bitumen, which includes “mining”, can be used in the process of carrying out work on non-residential objects. It can be garages, utility rooms, warehouses, hangars or sheds.
