Uses

Properties

Nitoproof 120 and 130 are designed to provide a

continuous waterproofing barrier. Used in conjunction
with Nitoproof 100*, Nitoproof 120 and 130 will provide a
dried film thickness complying with BS CP102 for concrete
protection and waterproofing. Wherever a high build
system is required to give increased protection over
bitumen solutions coatings (e.g. Nitoproof 100) Nitoproof
120 or Nitoproof 130 should be used. Both materials can
be used for repairs to felt/asphalt roofs.

Instructions for use

Asbestos free.
Surface preparation
Single component.
Preparation of surfaces prior to application of either
Nitoproof 120 or 130 is important. Surface must be clean
and dry and all loosely adhering particles such as rust mill
scale mortar, cement laitence, should be carefully
removed by wire or stiff brushing and finally soft brushing
to remove dust.

Easily and inexpensively applied.

Resistant to most naturally occurring chemicals.
Odourless and taint free when dry.
Excellent flexibility.

Surfaces must be free from oil and grease in the case of

cementitious surfaces, oil and grease can be removed by
the use of Fosroc Chemical Degreaser (see separate data
sheet) and in the case of steel work, oil or grease should
be removed by a suitable degreasing solvent such as
Fosroc Solvent 103.

Used for over 30 years in a wide range of

temperatures and environments.
Excellent adhesion

common

building

It is advisable always to prime with Nitoproof 100 bitumen

solution on surfaces which are to receive coatings of
Nitoproof 120 or 130. This will ease the brushing or
trowelling of these heavy bodied materials and ensure
their better coverage and adhesion.

Suitable for use in Middle East conditions.

Description
Nitoproof 120 and 130 are based on selected bitumens
blended together with non-asbestos reinforcing fibres and
solvents to provide two outstanding grades of material.
Both Nitoproof 120 and Nitoproof 130 produce quality,
high film build flexible bitumen coatings when dry.
Nitoproof 120 is a liquid grade used for intermediate
thickness coatings and Nitoproof 130 is a mastic grade
used for very heavy applications and detailing works.

Application
General
Nitoproof 120 can be applied by brush, roller or spray
equipment.
Nitoproof 130 can be applied by steel trowel.

Standards compliance

Apply Nitoproof 100* as a prime coat onto prepared

substrate. Apply the appropriate grade of compound
evenly over the dry primed surface. Avoid forming pools
and overfilling hollows as much as possible otherwise
usage rate and drying will be increased.

Nitoproof 120 and 130 comply with the requirements of

BS3416 for bitumen coatings for drinking water vessels.
Also meets the requirements of AWWA C-104/A21.4-85.

To comply with BS CP102:1973, Nitoproof 120 and 130

2
should be applied at the rate of 1 litre per m .

Chemical resistance

Economy roof membrane for non-critical arms

Nitoproof 120 and 130 are resistant to water, aqueous salt

solutions, common detergent solutions, mild mineral acid
and alkali solutions. They are not resistant to organic
solvents.

For low cost roofing applications, the roof slab should be

at least 28 days old and the surface prepared for priming
with Nitoproof 100*.

Fosroc Solvent 103:

Nitoproof 130 should be trowel applied over the crack at 1

mm thickness, 50 mm either side.
Nitoproof Scrim
reinforcement should then be embedded into the Nitoproof
130 then over-coated with a second 1 mm thick application.
Vertical up-stands should be coated with Nitoproof 130 after
the Nitoproof 100 Primer has dried and turned down onto
the deck for 75 mm forming a
20 mm x 20 mm filet at the
corner.

Spillage
Replace lid when not in use.
sand or sawdust.

Soak up any spillage with

Shelf life 18 months in original unopened container.

When the Nitoproof 130 mastic has dried, Nitoproof 120
should be applied to the whole roof area at 1 mm thick (1
2
litre per m ) over-coating all preparatory work.

After 7 days the whole roof area should be coated with

Nitoproof Reflectacoat solar reflective coating. Care should
be taken not to damage the membrane whilst the Nitoproof
Reflectacoat is being applied. After a further 3 days a
second coat should be applied. For accessible roofs
subject to regular foot traffic or for fully insulated roofs
please contact Fosroc for advice.

Coverage
Nitoproof 120 normally 1.5 - 2.5 m2 per litre depending on
film build required.

Cleaning

Nitoproof 130 normally 0.5 to 2.0 m per litre depending on
film build required.

Clean all tools and equipments with Fosroc Solvent 103.

At 1 m2 per litre, Nitoproof 120 and 130 will give a dry film
thickness of 0.65 mm.

Precautions
Health and safety

Technical support

Remove spillages from skin with soap and water or a resin

removing cream such as Kerocleanse 22. Do not use
Solvent. Any eye contamination should be washed with
copious quantities of water and medical treatment sought.

Fosroc provides a comprehensive technical advisory service

supported by a team of filed specialists.
