NITOPROOF 280
Section A : General Comments

High temperature working

It is suggested that, for temperatures above 30oC, the following guidelines are adopted as
good working practice:

(i) Store unmixed materials in a cool (preferably temperature controlled) environment, avoiding
exposure to direct sunlight.
(ii) Keep equipment cool, arranging shade protection if necessary. It is especially important to
keep cool those surfaces of the equipment which will come into direct contact with the
material itself.
(iii) Try to avoid application during the hottest times of the day, arrange temporary shading as
necessary.
(iv) Make sufficient material, plant and labour available to ensure that application is a continuous
process.
Equipment

It is suggested that the following list of equipment is adopted as a minimum requirement:

Protective clothing : Protective overalls

: Good quality gloves, goggles and face mask

Preparation equipment : Stiff wire brush

: Proprietary blasting equipment

Application equipment : Brush and Roller

Knapsack type spray equipment

Application - points of note

Fosroc operates a policy to encourage the use, where possible, of approved or licensed
applicators. This ensures that works are completed satisfactorily so that the long term
performance of the materials is assured. For contractors who wish to apply the materials
themselves Fosroc is also able to offer technical training.

Section B : Application Method

1.0 Surface Preparation

Attention to full and proper preparation is essential to successful.

Concrete Surface

1.1 Concrete surface should be free from oil, dust, high spots and other contaminants. Moss and
lichen must be removed to get clean concrete substrate.

1.2 Moisture of the concrete substrate shall be <6%, 28 days fully cured & structurally sound.

Steel surface

1.1 Nitoproof 280 exhibits good adhesion to steel substrate.

1.2 All steel substrate should be blast cleaned to SA 2½ Standards of cleanliness. An angular
profile amplitude of at least 100 microns is recommended.

2.0 Priming

2.1 On concrete surface Nitoproof 280 shall be applied at the rate 0.2 kg/m².

2.2 Steel substrate need to be Primed with Nitoprime 29 before applying Nitoproof 280.

3.0 Application

3.1 Nitoproof 280 shall be stirred/mixed with a slow speed mixer (300-400 rpm) for 3 minute
before commencing the application.

3.2 On horizon surface Nitoproof 280 should be applied by brush, trowel, squeegee, rollers at a
minimum consumption of 0.65 kg/m² per coat. Two coats are recommended to be applied
per over coating times and film drying times.

3.3 For heavy duty applications, per coat consumption of 0.8 kg/m² per coat. On vertical surface
Nitoproof 280 should be applied at 0.4 kg/m² in two coats.

4.0 Curing

4.1 Nitoproof 280 membrane after application of final coat shall be allowed cure for 24 hours
before allowing for light human traffic.

5.0 Cleaning

5.1 Cleaning with water will remove the Nitoproof 280 from the tools and equipment.
