Uses
Technical support
Nitomortar SS is a high strength adhesive primarily
designed to fix traffic markers and road studs. It can be
used as a fast set epoxy paste to fill cracks, holes and
imperfections in concrete surfaces, and in conjunction with
injection systems to seal the external face of cracks and
bond injection nipples and packers.
Fosroc offers a comprehensive range of high quality
concrete repair and construction products. In addition,
Fosroc offers a technical support package to specifiers,
end-users and contractors, as well as on-site technical
assistance in locations all over the world.

Clean the surface and remove any dust, unsound

free from contamination. Ceramic road studs or markers
which are supplied with either resin rich, waxy or greasy
finishes should be abraded before use.

Mixing
Standards compliance
Nitomortar SS conforms to the physical requirements of
AASHTO M237, Type II, Slant Shear, Bond Strength &
Gel Time.
Equal quantities of each component should be scooped
from the tins and mixed together thoroughly in a pliable
polythene beaker or disposable un-waxed cardboard
carton with a spatula or palette knife. To avoid waste, only
sufficient material for the work in hand should be mixed.
Description
Application
Nitomortar SS is an easily worked medium viscosity
adhesive based on 100% reactive, solvent free epoxy
resin. It is supplied in two packs to be mixed at site at 1:1
ratio. Component A is pigmented white and component B
is black; when mixed correctly turns uniform in grey colour
and bonds readily to asphalt, steel, and concrete surfaces.
In case of ceramic studs, the mixed adhesive should be
applied to the area to be covered by the marker and the
marker pressed into place so as to squeeze out a small
bead of adhesive around the entire periphery of the
marker. The required amount of adhesive is normally in
the range of 15-30 ml. Markers should not be fixed until at
least two weeks has elapsed from the time of laying
asphalt, unless written approval is given by the engineer.

mechanically removed.
Disposal
Spillages of component products should be absorbed onto
earth, sand or other inert material and transferred to a
suitable vessel. Disposal of such spillages or empty
packaging should be in accordance with local waste
disposal authority regulations.

Pot life and set time will vary considerably depending on
temperature and size of mix; extending at lower
temperatures and smaller thickness of application. Pot life
and set time are determined using mix 200 g in weight.

Fosroc additionally offers a comprehensive package of
products specifically designed for the repair and
refurbishment of damaged concrete. Fosroc's 'Systematic
Approach' to concrete repair features the following:
Health and safety
Some people are sensitive to epoxy resins so gloves and a
barrier cream, kerodex 7, rozalex g, debba-wet work or
similar, should be used when handling these products.
hand-placed repair mortars & spray grade repair
mortars
If contact with the resin occurs, it must be removed, before it
hardens, with a resin removing cream such as kerocleanse
22, and rozalex 42, 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 treatment
immediately. Ensure good ventilation and do not smoke
during use.
Fluid micro-concretes
Chemically resistant epoxy mortars
Anti-carbonation/anti-chloride protective coatings
Chemical and abrasion resistant coatings
For further information on any of the above, please consult
your local Fosroc office.
Fire
Nitomortar SS is non-flammable.
Fosroc solvent 102 is flammable. Ensure adequate
ventilation and do not use near naked flame.
