Description
Nitocote PE135 is a single component, high performance,
grey colour viscous liquid coating based on hydrophobic
polyester resin. It is totally free from hazardous materials/
carcinogens such as coal tar pitch, hydrocarbon based
solvents, aromatic amines etc. The coating displays its
protective properties at a minium DFT of 200 microns.

Specification
Where shown on the contract documents, below ground
Nitocote PE135

surfaces shall be protected with two coats of Nitocote

PE135, a ` hydrophobic polyester emulsion coating applied
at a rate of 400-500 microns wet film thickness per coat.
