Uses
Properties
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

Description
Nitoproof 600*
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.
Nitoproof 600 is unaffected by a range of mild acids, alkalis

and water borne salts and is resistant to bio-deterioration.

Instructions for use
Right angle bends
Preparation
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 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.
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.
Priming
Application
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.
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.
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.
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.

Curing and protection
Storage
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.
Shelf life
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.
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
Limitations
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
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.
Application should not commence if the temperature of the

substrate is below 5C.
Technical support
Fosroc offers a comprehensive range of high performance,
high quality repair, maintenance and construction products. In
addition, Fosroc offers a technical support package to
specifiers, end-users and contractors, as well as on-site
