Nitofill LV TDS

Technical
Data
Sheet
Fosroc Nitofill LV
Low viscosity, dual cartridge, epoxy
crack-injection system
masonry down to 0.2 mm at the substrate surface and

internal cracks tapering down to 0.1 mm.
Uses
The system should not be used for cracks where movement

is expected to continue.
Nitofill LV is designed for injecting cracks in concrete and

masonry where there is a need to consolidate a structure or
exclude water and air from contact with the reinforcement.
Properties
The following results are typical for the hardened Nitofill LV
epoxy resin.
Nitofill LV is a high strength, low viscosity resin injection

system and provides excellent bond to concrete and
masonry.
Usable life at
The Nitofill LV system is ideal for small scale repairs

on site and is also suitable for insitu or precast
concrete elements.

Description
Chemical resistance
Nitofill LV crack injection system incorporates a two

part epoxy base and hardener contained in a dual cartridge
pack.
The cured Nitofill LV epoxy is resistant to oil, grease, fats,

most chemicals, mild acids and alkalis, fresh and sea water.
Consult Parchem Technical Department when exposure to
solvents or concentrated chemicals is anticipated.
The Nitofill LV cartridge pack accessory items are available

separately: cartridge gun, static mixer nozzle hoses, injection
flanges, flange adaptors and flange removing tool.
Nitofill LV (Crack Injection System)

(2)
Nitofill LV can be applied using either injection packers fixed

into holes drilled directly into the crack or drilled diagonally
from concrete adjacent to the crack or by the fixing of
injection flanges bonded to the surface using Nitomortar AP.
(1)
(3)
Nitofill LV cartridge gun is used to inject the resin for surface

mounted flanges, whereas, Nitofill LV resin is injected
through inserted mechanical packers using calibrated
mechanical pump or hand pump . In case of pump injection
method, contact your local Parchem office for Nitofill LV
packaging options.

Specification Clause
Low viscosity crack injection grouting system
The injection grouting material shall be a low-viscosity epoxy
resin, with high bond strength to wet or dry concrete, high
compressive tensile and flexural strengths, and offering
chemical and weathering resistance.
Specially formulated for injection of cracks down to 0.2 mm
at the surface, tapering down to 0.1 mm internally.
Use in conjunction with a surface sealing two part epoxy
resin and hardener material for setting and sealing around
injection flanges and surface of cracks.
Instructions For Use

Surface preparation
All contact surfaces must be free from oil, grease, free
standing water or any loosely adherent material. All dust
must be removed.
Crack surface seal
Nitomortar AP is used to bond the injection flanges to the
substrate and to seal the face of the crack (see current
Nitomortar AP Technical Data Sheet for additional
application / mixing instructions).
Application of the surface seal
Immediately after mixing, apply a small amount of the
Nitomortar AP product to the underside of each flange,
making sure that the valve will not be blocked and place the
flange centrally over the crack. Flanges should be placed
between 200 mm and 500 mm apart dependent on crack
size, along the length of the crack. Additional surface seal
should be applied around each flange edge and to the
remainder of the crack between the flanges to ensure a resin
tight seal to the substrate.
Application of the Nitofill LV injection resin can commence as
soon as the Nitomortar AP has fully hardened.
Injection of the Nitofill LV epoxy resin
The Nitofill LV static mixer/hose should be screwed onto the
cartridge. The cartridge is then placed into the gun and the
outlet end of the hose pushed onto the lowest flange using
the adaptor.
from the base. Remove the liner strip out of the barb on the
flange. Hold the base of the flange while removing the liner
slip from the barb. This will ensure the flange is not
accidentally removed from the substrate. The flange should
be in the closed position when the liner slip is pulled totally
away from the base. This will prevent material flowing out
from the crack. The pressure should be released and the
hose disconnected from the flange using the adaptor and
tool.
The injection hose can then be refixed to an adjacent flange,
and more Nitofill LV resin injected. Repeat the process until
the entire length of crack has been injected.
In the case of cracks which go all the way through a wall or
slab, the resin should be injected through alternate flanges
on both sides where access is possible. In the case of slabs,
injection from the underside takes precedence to top
injection.
Making good
After the Nitofill LV injection resin has set, remove the
flanges. These can be knocked off with a hammer. Make
good any holes or voids with Nitomortar AP.
The existing surface sealant can then be removed using a
sharp broad-chisel or by grinding until the original substrate
profile is restored.
Cleaning
All tools and equipment should be cleaned immediately after
use with Solvent 10.
Limitations
The Nitofill LV resin injection system should not be used
for cracks where movement is expected to continue.
Other measures should be taken to accommodate such
movement, ie cutting and forming a movement joint.
Nitofill LV should not be injected into voids which contain free
water. Nitofill LV should only be used in dry or saturated
surface dry (SSD) concrete or masonry.
Contact your local Parchem sales office for further
information.
To ensure the product is mixed properly through the static

mixer, always gun out a small amount of Nitofill LV resin prior
to attaching the outlet end to the flange.
The contents of the cartridge are then injected until the resin
flows from an adjacent flange, or until firm and sustained
hand pressure on the gun trigger signifies that no further
resin will be accepted. Then pull the barb on the flange away
