Repairs
Not resistant to organic
solvents. Damaged areas of Nitoproof 230 can be readily overcoated
to restore the continuity of the membrane.
Note: These times will be extended under conditions of low
temperature and high humidity. Cleaning

Nitoproof 230 can be removed with clean water, however

once the Nitoproof 230 has dried, it can only be removed
with Fosroc Solvent 102.
