The potlife begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at
high temperatures and longer at low temperatures. The greater the quant-
ity mixed, the shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at high tem-
peratures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into portions. Another meth-
od is to chill components A + B and C before mixing them (that is only when
application temperatures are above +20 °C).

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Mortar and concrete must be older than 28 days (de-
pendent on minimum strength requirements).
Verify the substrate strength (concrete, natural stone
etc.).
The substrate surface (all types) must be clean, dry
and free from contaminants such as dirt, oil, grease,
existing surface treatments and coatings etc.
Steel substrates must be de-rusted to a standard equi-
valent to Sa 2.5.
The substrate must be sound and all loose particles
must be removed.
Substrate must be dry or mat damp and free from any
standing water, ice etc.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Concrete, mortar, stone:
Substrates must be sound, dry, clean and free from
laitance, ice, standing water, grease, oils, old surface
treatments or coatings and all loose or friable particles
must be removed to achieve a laitance and contamin-
ant free, open textured surface.
Steel:
Must be cleaned and prepared thoroughly to an ac-
ceptable quality standard equivalent to SA 2.5 by
blastcleaning and vacuum. Avoid dew point conditions.
Surface and base plate contact area must be clean and
sound. For best results, the substrate shall be dry. Re-
move dust, laitance, oils, grease, curing compounds,
impregnations, waxes, foreign particles, coatings, and
disintegrated materials by mechanical means, chip-
ping with a chisel, blastcleaning etc.
All anchor pockets or sleeves must be free of water.
Apply grout immediately to prevent re-oxidizing / rust
formation.
MIXING
Pre-batched units:
Mix components A and B in the component A pail for
approximately 30 - 60 seconds with a paddle attached
to a low speed drill (300 - 450 rpm). Avoid aeration
while mixing until the material becomes uniformly
blended in colour and viscosity. Place the mixed epoxy
into an appropriate mixing vessel. Slowly add the com-
ponent C and mix until uniform and homogeneous (ap-
proximately 3 minutes).
Mix only that quantity which can be used within its
potlife.
Never mix component A and B without adding com-
ponent C (as the exothermic reaction between A and B
alone generates excess heat)
Leave Sikadur®-42 MP SG in the mixing vessel until the
majority of entrained air bubbles have dispersed.

APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS
Forming:
The consistency of the Sikadur®-42 MP SG epoxy grout
system requires the use of permanent or temporary
forms to contain the material around base plates, for
example. In order to prevent leakage or seepage, all of
these formers must be sealed. Apply polyethylene film
or wax to all forms to prevent adhesion of the grout.
Prepare the formwork to maintain more than 150 mm
liquid head to facilitate placement. A grout box
equipped with an inclined trough attached to the form
will enhance the grout flow and minimize air encapsu-
lation.
Application:
Pour the mixed grout into the prepared forms from
one or two sides only, to eliminate air entrapment.
Maintain the liquid head to ensure intimate contact to
the base plate. Place sufficient epoxy grout in the
forms to rise slightly above the underside (3 mm) of
the base plate. The minimum void depth beneath the
baseplate shall be 12 mm. Where the void beneath the
base plate is greater than 150 mm, place the epoxy
grout in successive 150 mm lifts or less, once the pre-
ceding lift has cooled.
Once hardened check the adhesion by tapping with a
hammer.
Please refer also to the “Method Statement Sikadur®-
42 MP SG”
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Sweep excess grout into appropriate containers for
disposal before it has hardened.
Dispose of in accordance with applicable local regula-
tions.
Uncured material can be removed with Sika Colma
Cleaner. Cured material can only be removed mechan-
ically.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
▪ Do not add / mix with solvents. Solvents will prevent
proper curing and change mechanical properties.
▪ Sikadur®-42 MP SG is a vapour barrier when cured.
▪ Mix complete units only.
▪ Cold ambient, substrate or material temperatures
will influence the curing and flow characteristics of
Sikadur®-42 MP SG.
▪ Do not subject cured epoxy grout to sudden temper-
ature changes especially during early curing stages.
▪ Sikadur® resins are formulated to have low creep un-
der permanent loading. However due to the creep
behaviour of all polymer materials under load, the
long term structural design load must account for
creep. Generally the long term structural design load
must be lower than 20 - 25 % of the failure load.
Please consult a structural engineer for load calcula-
tions for your specific application.

flaky mill scale. Cleaned surfaces may be protected by the
application of Nitoprime 28.
Formwork
The formwork should be constructed to be leakproof as
Conbextra EP150 product is free flowing grouts. Loss of
grout once the material is placed, but not hardened, will
result in incomplete filling of the gap.
For free flow grout conditions it is essential to provide a
hydrostatic head of grout. To achieve this a feeding
hopper system should be used.
For deep section placing in inaccessible, extended widths
chains may be used to encourage lateral movement and
complete filling of the gap, thus eliminating air pockets. For
further information please contact Fosroc for specific
advice.

Hot weather working

Whilst the performance of Conbextra EP150 at elevated

temperatures is assured, application under such conditions
can sometimes be difficult. It is therefore suggested that,
o
for temperatures above 35 C, the following guidelines are
used:

(i) Store unmixed materials in a cool (preferably

temperature controlled) environment, avoiding
exposure to direct sunlight.

(ii) Keep mixing and placing equipment cool, arranging

shade protection if necessary. It is especially
important to keep cool those surfaces of the
equipment which will come into direct contact with the
material itself.

(iii) Try to eliminate application in the middle of the day,

Mixing
Pour all the contents of the hardener pack into the base
container. Mix using a slow speed power mixer until
homogeneous.
Pour all the resultant liquid into a container with a capacity of
15-25 litres. Add all the filler provided for the product. Mix
using a slow speed power mixer for two minutes or until a
uniform colour is achieved in the grouts.
Placing
and certainly avoid application in direct sunlight.
(iv) Ensure that there are sufficient operatives available to
complete application within the material’s pot life.
Limitations
Grouts should not be placed in any unrestrained situation,
i.e. base plate plinths, etc. Failure to comply may lead to
crack development in the grout.

Instructions for use
Preparation
All surfaces to be treated with Nitocote ET402 must be clean
and free from dust or loose material.
Concrete surfaces
All laitance must be removed by grit blasting, or other suitable
removal methods. The general standard of surface preparation
should be in accordance with ACI 503R-89, Chapter 5,
Paragraph 5.4.
Following the preparation of a concrete surface, care should
be taken to ensure that any surface irregularities are filled with
Nitomortar FC*† or Nitomortar FC(B)*†.
Metal surfaces
Any metal surfaces should be grit blasted to a bright finish,
meeting the requirements of Swedish Standard SA 2½ or equal.
Priming
Concrete surfaces
Priming is not required on properly prepared concrete surfaces
- see Preparation section.
Metal surfaces
All metal surfaces should be coated immediately after
preparation. If this is not possible and to eliminate formation
of rust, prime the metal surfaces using Nitoprime 25*.
Mixing
The contents of the resin can should be thoroughly stirred to
disperse any possible settlement.
The entire contents of both the hardener and resin cans should
be poured into a suitable sized mixing vessel.
It is recommended that the two components are mixed together
mechanically using a slow speed electric drill fitted with a
Fosroc Mixing Paddle (MR3). Mixing should be carried out
continuously for 3 to 5 minutes, until a uniform consistency is
achieved.
Although Nitocote ET402 is a non-solvented product, it is still
recommended that mixing should take place in an open, well
ventilated area.
Nitocote ET402 - Page 2 of 4
Application
A minimum 2 coat application is generally recommended to
ensure a full, unbroken coating is achieved.
Brush application
Once mixed, the material should be immediately applied,
ensuring that a continuous coating is obtained. The first coat
is applied to achieve a uniform coating with a wet film thickness
not less than 200 microns, and should be allowed to dry for at
least 6 hours at 35°C before the application of the second
coat.
The second coat should be applied between 6 hours and 4
days (at 35°C) after the application of the first coat, at 45°C
this will be reduced to 3 hours. The second coat should be
applied as above again achieving a wet film thickness not
less than 200 microns.
Spray application
Where large areas are to be coated, it is advisable to consider
spray application. Consult the local Fosroc office for further
details and recommendations.
Cleaning
Tools and equipment should be cleaned with Fosroc Solvent
102* immediately after use.
Hot weather working practices
Whilst the performance properties of Nitocote ET402 at
elevated temperatures are assured, application under such
conditions can sometimes be difficult. It is therefore suggested
that, for temperatures above 35°C, the following guidelines
are adopted as a prudent working regime:
(i) Store unmixed materials in a cool (preferably temperature
controlled) environment, avoiding exposure to direct
sunlight.
(ii) Keep mixing and placing equipment cool, arranging shade
protection if necessary. It is especially important to keep
cool those surfaces of the equipment which will come into
direct contact with the material itself.
(iii) Try to eliminate application in the middle of the day, and
certainly avoid application in direct sunlight.
(iv) For hand application, ensure that there are sufficient
operatives available to complete application within the pot
life of the material.
(v) Have a ready supply of Fosroc Solvent 102 available for
immediate cleaning of tools after use.

The potlife begins when Parts A+B are mixed. It is shorter at high temperatures and longer at low temper-
atures. The greater the quantity mixed, the shorter the potlife. To obtain longer workability at high tem-
peratures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into smaller quantities. Another method is to chill Parts A+B
before mixing (not below +5 °C).

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
▪ Sikadur® resins are formulated to have low creep un-
der permanent loading. However due to the creep
behaviour of all polymer materials under load, when
using adhesive for structural applications, the long
term structural design load must account for creep.
Generally the long term structural design load must
be lower than 20−25 % of the failure load. A structur-
al engineer must be consulted for design calculations
for specific structural applications.
▪ When using multiple units during application, do not
mix the following unit until the previous one has
been used in order to avoid a reduction in workabil-
ity and handling time.
▪ For heavy components positioned vertically or over-
head, provide temporary support.
ECOLOGY, HEALTH AND SAFETY
User must read the most recent corresponding Safety
Data Sheets (SDS) before using any products. The SDS
provides information and advice on the safe handling,
storage and disposal of chemical products and con-
tains physical, ecological, toxicological and other
safety-related data.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Concrete / masonry / mortar / stone
Concrete and mortar must be at least 3–6 weeks old.
Substrate surfaces must be sound, clean, dry or matt
damp. Free from standing water, ice, dirt, oil, grease,
coatings, laitance, efflorescence, old surface treat-
ments, all loose particles and any other surface con-
taminants that could affect adhesion of the bonding
agent.
Steel
Surfaces must be clean, dry, free from oil, grease,
coatings, rust, scale, all loose particles and any other
surface contaminants that could affect adhesion of the
bonding agent.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Concrete / masonry / mortar / stone
Substrates must be prepared mechanically using suit-
able abrasive blast cleaning, needle gunning, light
scabbling, bush hammering, grinding or other suitable
equipment to achieve an open textured gripping sur-
face profile.
Steel
Surfaces must be prepared mechanically using suitable
abrasive blast cleaning, grinding, rotating wire brush
or other suitable equipment to achieve a bright metal
finish with a surface profile to satisfy the necessary
tensile adhesion strength requirement. Avoid dew
point conditions before and during application.

All substrates
All dust and loose material must be completely re-
moved from all substrate surfaces before application
of the product by vacuum / dust removal equipment.
MIXING
Prior to mixing all parts, mix part A (resin) briefly using
a mixing spindle attached to a slow speed electric mix-
er (max. 300 rpm). Add part B (hardener) to part A and
mix parts A+B continuously for at least 3 minutes until
a uniformly coloured smooth consistency mix has
been achieved. To ensure thorough mixing pour ma-
terials into a clean container and mix again for approx-
imately 1 minute. Over mixing must be avoided to
minimise air entrainment. Mix full units only. Mixing
time for A+B = 4,0 minutes. Mix only the quantity
which can be used within its pot life.
APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS
Apply the mixed Sikadur®-32 LP to the prepared sub-
strate by brush, roller, spray or trowel ensuring uni-
form and complete coverage.
On hardened concrete substrates mechanically pre-
pared to receive fresh concrete, always apply by brush
and work the material well into the substrate.
On damp prepared concrete substrates, always apply
by brush and work the product well into the substrate.
For bonding wet fresh concrete to hardened prepared
concrete, place the concrete whilst the Sikadur®-32 LP
layer is still ‘tacky’. If the product becomes glossy and
loses 'tackiness', apply another coat of Sikadur®-32 LP
and proceed to place concrete.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
Clean all tools and application equipment with Sika®
Colma Cleaner immediately after use. Hardened ma-
terial can only be mechanically removed.

prepared surfaces, being sure to achieve an unbroken coating
across the entire substrate.

Nitobond EP should be tacky before the new concrete, screed

or mortar is placed.

The maximum overlay times (see Properties) should also be

carefully observed. Failure to apply the new concrete, screed
or mortar within the maximum overcoating time will result in
Nitobond EP becoming ‘hard’, thus creating a slip plane rather
than a bonding action.

If the maximum overlay time is missed, then the Nitobond EP

must be mechanically removed and a fresh application made.
The concrete, screed or mortar should then be applied in
accordance with the overcoating minimum and maximum
stated above.

As soon as the Nitobond EP has been applied, any required

steel reinforcement and/or formwork should be erected and
fixed securely in place.

Product Installation
Full details are available in the application method statement,
a copy of which may be obtained from your local Fosroc
technical department.
The following methodology is for installation into solid sub-
strates such as reinforced concrete. For other substrates or
fixings please request a separate method statement.
Hole Formation and Preparation
Drill hole with percussive drill or compressed air drill ensuring
sides of the concrete are rough. If using a hollow drill bit
system, additional hole preparation is not generally neces-
sary. If using diamond drill, the hole must be flushed with
clean water, cleaned with a wire brush and flushed again
before using the cleaning process described below.
If rebar is struck immediately stop drilling and seek the ad-
vice of the designing engineer.
Clean holes immediately prior to installation of fixings to
avoid them becoming re-contaminated.
Standing water in the hole shall be removed prior to prepara-
tion. Using compressed air insert the nozzle to the back of
the hole and blow out 2 times.
Insert a wire cleaning brush to the bottom of the hole and
brush out 2 times. Cleaning brush should be at least 0.5mm
wider than diameter of drill hole.
Using compressed air insert the nozzle to the back of the
hole and blow out an additional 2 times.
If dust is still present, repeat the process until no further dust
is visible.
Ensure the drill bit and the cleaning brush are of suitable
diameter for the fixing used. Consult tables 3 and 4 for spe-
cific diameters.
Fixings Preparation
Fixings shall be free from rust, paint, grease and contami-
nants which will interfere with the bond.
Mark the required depth on the fixing.
Installation
Lokfix E77 requires a special 3:1 application gun, this can be
supplied by Fosroc.
Page 4
Unscrew the fixing cap from the cartridge. Remove the plas-
tic stopper.
Screw the static mixer nozzle onto the cartridge. Place the
cartridge into the application gun.
Pull the trigger to extrude the Lokfix E77.
Important: extrude the initial material until the colour be-
comes red and consistent. This typically takes two or three
full squeezes. Discard material that is streaky in colour.
Insert the nozzle to the back of the hole and pump the Lokfix
material gently pulling back until the hole is ⅔ to ¾ full. En-
sure there are no voids in the resin. If the hole is too deep
for the nozzle to reach the back, use an extension nozzle.
In wide/overhead holes a piston plug will help reduce slump
and ensure a void-fee application. This is particularly rec-
ommended for holes above 16mm diameter.
Observing the product gel time, insert the fixing into the hole
using a gentle twisting motion. Ensure the fixing is inserted
to the required depth and is held straight until the resin sets.
There should be some extrusion of the Lokfix material from
the hole which indicates that there is full embedment.
Do not load or apply tension to the fixing until the product
fixing time has been observed, see table 2 .
Do not over-tighten fixings. Observe maximum installation
torque as stated in table 4.
If the cartridge is to be re-used, remove the mixing nozzle
and re-apply the cap. When using again, a new mixing noz-
zle will be required, ensure product is pre-extruded and of
consistent colour before use.
Cleaning
Uncured resin should be removed from tools and equipment
using Fosroc Solvent 102 immediately after use.

Description
Nitomortar TC2000 is a two component thixotropic
compound based on high quality solvent-free epoxy resin
systems. The material is supplied in pre-weighed quantities
ready for on-site mixing and use. Once it is cured, it will
form a completely impermeable surface ready for over-
coating. Nitomortar TC2000 is available as standard in
Grey colour.
Technical support
Fosroc offers a comprehensive range of high performance,
high quality products suitable for use within all aspects of
the concrete repair and protection industry. In addition, the
company offers a technical support package to specifiers,
end users and contractors, as well as on-site assistance.

maximum
Application instructions
Preparation
Clean the surface and remove any dust, unsound or
contaminated material, plaster, oil, paint, grease, corrosion
deposits or algae.
Surface should preferably be prepared using high-pressure
water jetting or light abrasive blasting, followed by thorough
washing to remove dust and remaining particles.
Oils and grease deposits should be removed by steam
cleaning, detergent scrubbing or the use of a proprietary
degreaser. The effectiveness of decontamination should
then be assessed by a pull-off test.
For anchoring applications, surfaces should be clean from
any dust, loose material, and contaminants.
No independent priming system is required.

Design criteria
Nitomortar TC2000 can be applied in sections 0.5 to 2.0 mm
thickness in horizontal and vertical locations in a single
application without the use of formwork. Greater
thicknesses than those specified can be achieved by
application of subsequent layers.
Mixing
The entire contents of the hardener can should be added to
the base container and mixed thoroughly until a uniform
grey colour and consistency are obtained, taking particular
care to scrape the sides and bottom of the containers. It is
recommended that mechanical mixing be employed using a
Jiffy mixer on a slow speed electric drill.

Application
Apply the mixed Nitomortar TC2000 to the prepared
substrate by spatula, filling knife or steel float, tight
trowelling onto the substrate to ensure positive adhesion
and that all blow-holes and defects are completely filled to
produce a smooth even finish. Application thickness will
vary with profile and alignment of substrate.
Where anchoring is involved, drill holes are to be half filled
with Nitomortar TC2000, inserting the anchor should push
the material to be distributed uniformly around the anchor.
Excess material is to be cleaned and removed whilst wet.
Where application of multiple layers is required, this
can be accomplished by applying the additional layer
o
between 2 to 8 hours at 25 C after the first layer
application. This time should be reduced at higher
temperature. Beyond this open time abrade the
surface of Nitomortar TC2000 with sandpaper, then
remove the dust generated using clean rags and
Fosroc Solvent 102 prior to apply the second layer.
Alternatively, the first layer of Nitomortar TC2000 may
be “scratch keyed” whilst wet to provide mechanical
key for subsequent layers.
Finishing
Any ridges left by the trowel can be brushed out while the
material is still wet or ground down with a carborundum
stone before over-coating.
High temperature working
o
At ambient temperatures above 35 C Nitomortar TC2000
will have shorter pot life and working life. The materials
should be stored in the shade or in air-conditioned
environments and should not be applied in direct sunlight.
Cleaning
Nitomortar TC2000 should be removed from tools,
equipment and mixers with Fosroc Solvent 102*
immediately after use. Hardened material can only be
removed mechanically.
Limitations
Do not mix part packs under any circumstances. Nitomortar
TC2000 should not be exposed to water during application.
Exposure to heavy rainfall prior to final set may result in
surface scour. If any doubt arises concerning temperature
or substrate condition, consult the local Fosroc Office.
Nitomortar TC2000 should not be used when the
o
temperature is below 5 C and falling.

Precautions
Health and Safety
Nitomortar TC2000 and Fosroc Solvent 102 should not
come in contact with skin and eyes, or be swallowed.
Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid inhalation of vapour.
Some people are sensitive to resins and solvents. Wear
suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
Barrier creams provide 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 eyes, rinse immediately
with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. If
swallowed, seek medical attention immediately - do not
induce vomiting.
Fire
Fosroc Solvent 102 is flammable. Keep away from sources
of ignition. No smoking. In the event of fire, extinguish with
CO2 or foam. Do not use a water jet.
For further information, refer to the Product Material Safety
Data Sheet.
