Nitomortar FC and Fosroc Solvent 102 should not come in contact with skin or eyes, or be swallowed. Ensure ade- quate ventilation and avoid inhalation of vapours. Some people are sensitive to resins, hardeners and solvents. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. If working in confined areas, suitable respiratory protective equipment must be used. The use of barrier creams pro- vides additional skin protection. Should accidental skin contact occur, remove immediately with a resin removing cream followed by soap and water. Do not use solvent. In case of contact with eye, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. If swallowed seek medical attention immediately - do not induce vomiting. Fire Nitomortar FC is non-flammable. Fosroc Solvent 102 is flammable. Keep away from sources of ignition. No smoking. In the event of fire extinguish with CO 2 or foam. Do not use a water jet.

For contractors who wish to apply the materials themselves Fosroc is also able to offer technical assistance and training, either on-site or at its Training Centre in Dubai Page 2 of 3 constructive solutions 1.0 Surface preparation Attention to full and proper preparation of the substrate is essential for complete repair adhesion. 1.1 The surface of the substrate should be thoroughly cleaned to remove all traces of dust, oil, paint, curing compounds, grease, corrosion deposits, algae or any unsound material which might affect subsequent bond between Nitomortar FC and the substrate. 1.2 Oil and grease deposits are best removed by steam cleaning, detergent scrubbing or the use of a proprietary degreaser. 2.0 Mixing 2.1 Care should be taken to ensure that Nitomortar FC is thoroughly mixed to produce a fully homogeneous, trowellable mortar. 2.2 The hardener and base components should be stirred thoroughly in order to disperse any settlement before mixing them together. 2.3 The entire contents of the hardener and base can should be emptied into the mixing vessel and thoroughly mixed for 3 minutes. 2.4 Under no circumstances should part bags be used. 3.0 Application 3.1 Due to the easy workability of the product, the mixed material can be taken directly from the mixing vessel or subdivided onto spot boards for individual applicators. 3.2 Apply the mixed Nitomortar FC to the substrate using any of the application instruments; such as trowel, scraper, filling knife and squeegee. 3.3 Nitomortar FC can be overcoated with epoxy coatings after a minimum curing period of 24 hours. 4.0 Cleaning 4.1 Nitomortar FC should be removed from tools with Fosroc Solvent 102, immediately after use.
