Nitoproof 600

Liquid applied single component elastomeric waterproofing membrane Uses The high elasticity, excellent bond and low water permeability of Nitoproof 600 make it ideal for a wide range of water/vapour proofing applications such as foundations, basements, tunnels, ground floors, suspended floors, car decks, roof terraces, balconies, patios, bridges, precincts, inspection pits, water retaining structures (not potable water), sewage works, and inverted roofs. The excellent chemical resistance of Nitoproof 600 makes it particularly suitable for tanking applications in areas where aggressive ground water conditions prevail. Advantages One component; ready to apply direct from the can Liquid application means details are simplified and there are no joints in the membrane Highly elastic, cures to give a permanently flexible resilient barrier over a wide range of temperatures Rapid installation; significantly reduces time spent on preparatory works and detailing Excellent adhesion, can be applied to a wide range of substrates. Continuous adhesion prevents lateral migration of water Impervious - outstanding barrier properties ensure protection against corrosive soil conditions Thermally stable - irreversible chemical cure eliminates melting and flow at high temperature Excellent resistance to oxidation and embrittlement Mechanical damage to the membrane can be easily repaired by spot application Standard compliance Nitoproof 600 meets the requirements of ASTM C836-84. Description Nitoproof 600 single component pitch modified polyurethane cures by reaction with atmospheric moisture to give a tough elastomeric waterproof membrane. It is supplied in a single grade to meet all site application methods and requirements.

Nitoproof 600 is a medium viscosity grade (approximately 600 poise) for roller, squeegee or spray application to horizontal and vertical surfaces.

Instructions for use

Right angle bends All right angle bends must have a cant strip or coving detail installed. This may be formed in either sand & cement or Plastijoint* and it must be bedded into a layer of Nitoproof 600, then given a reinforcing pretreatment by application of a 1.3mm thick coat extending 150mm either side of the coving. Whilst still wet, a 150mm wide strip of Nitoproof Scrim is embedded into the Nitoproof 600 as reinforcement (ensure thorough wetting). All other angles, joints, protrusions and stress points should be pretreated with a heavy application of Nitoproof 600 extending 50-100mm either side of the detail. Reinforcement with Nitoproof Scrim is recommended where movement is possible. Allow pretreatments to cure overnight before general application. Application Nitoproof 600 should be applied by brush, trowel, squeegee or airless spray (two coat application for standard grade on vertical surfaces) at a minimum wet film thickness of 1.3mm (1.3 litre/m2). This is in addition to the preparatory work. The minimum application life (after opening the pack) is up to 48 hours if stored in closed containers. On a vertical surface a film build of 1.3mm is achievable in two coats. In critical applications where surety of film thickness is paramount, two coats should be applied at right angles to one another. Quantities per coat should be gauged to give the specified final film thickness. A short haired synthetic pile roller should be used if applying by roller. For spray application, use a Graco King type pump with 60:1 ratio at pressure 5.5 bar (80 psi), hose diameter 13mm with a 10mm wip end. Tip size: 0.58mm - 0.84 (23-33 thou). If a water test is to be run, the membrane should be fully cured. Flood test Prior to placement of protection, flood to a minimum depth of 50mm of water for 24 hours. Drains shall be plugged and barriers placed to contain the water.

Preparation All surfaces to be waterproofed should be sound, clean and dry. Concrete surfaces should have a light steel-trowel followed by a fine hair-broom or equivalent finish which is dry and free of dust, oil and other contaminants. All high spots should be removed. Moss and lichen must be removed physically followed by treatment with fungicidal wash to kill any spores and inhibit further growth. After treatment wash down thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry. All metal surfaces should be made clean of paint, oils, rust and other contaminants. Abrade to expose bright metal then wipe clean with Fosroc Solvent 102 prior to priming. Priming Priming is not normally required on good quality concrete substrates. However, absorbent surfaces such as porous concrete, sand/cement and cement boards will require sealing to prevent absorption of Nitoproof 600. This should be done using a 1:1 mixture of Nitoproof 600 and Fosroc Solvent 102. Use Nitoprime 32* as a primer for bituminous surfaces. All metal and PVC surfaces should be cleaned and abraded before priming. Movement joints All expansion and movement joints should be sealed with Nitoseal 220*. When cured, Nitoseal Debonding Tape* should be applied to the top surface of the sealant and the joint then overcoated with a 1.3mm thick application of Nitoproof 600 extending 150mm each side of the tape. Embed a 100mm or 150mm wide strip of Nitoproof Scrim*, then allow to cure before general application. Cracks All shrinkage and non-moving structural cracks should be pretreated with not less than a 1.3mm coating of Nitoproof 600 extending 75mm either side of the crack. Allow to cure overnight before general application.

Curing and protection Nitoproof 600 membrane must be cured for a minimum of 24 hours @ 25C before placing protection. Where damage to the membrane is possible (by traffic, backfilling, etc) it should be protected by a cementitious screed or protection boards. A dust coat of cement should be used to prevent adhesion of the membrane to the boards. Where a bond with the topping is not required, a separator sheet should be used. To prevent damage to the membrane it is recommended that Nitoproof 600 is laid in strips of 1 metre width to permit the application of a screed or Protection Board from the uncoated area. All exposed areas of Nitoproof 600 should be coated with Nitoproof Reflectacoat* to ensure maximum resistance to ultraviolet radiation. Cleaning Tools and equipment should be cleaned with Fosroc Solvent 102 immediately after use. Do not use the solvent for thinning except where a sealing coat is required. Limitations Application should not commence if the temperature of the substrate is below 5C. Storage Shelf life Nitoproof 600 has a shelf life of 12 months if kept below 25C in the original, unopened packs. Nitoprime 32 has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry store in the original, unopened packs. Precautions Health and safety Some people are sensitive to resin systems. Gloves and a barrier cream such as Kerodex Antisolvent, Rozalex Antipaint or Debba-Wet-Work should be used when handling these products. If contact with the resin occurs it must be removed before it hardens with a resin removing cream such as kerocleanse Standard grade Skin cleanser or Rozaklens Industrial Skin cleanser. Follow by washing with soap and water. Do not use solvent. The use of goggles is recommended but should accidental eye contamination occur, wash thoroughly with plenty of water and seek medical advice. Ensure adequate ventilation when using resin and solvent containing materials. Fire Nitoproof 600, Nitoproof Reflectacoat and Fosroc Solvent 102 contain flammable solvents. Do not use near an open flame or smoke during use. Flash points Nitoproof 600 Nitoproof Reflectacoat Fosroc Solvent 102 : : : 45C 23C 33C
