Fosroc Nitobond TM constructive solutions

Solvent free, two part epoxy resin adhesive to fix traffic

Uses Note : Pot life and set time will vary considerably
Nitobond TM is a high strength adhesive primarily designed depending on temperature and size of mix;
to fix traffic markers and road studs. It can be used as a fast extending at lower temperatures and smaller
set epoxy paste to fill cracks, holes and imperfections in thickness of application. Pot life and set time are

Precautions in accordance with local waste disposal authority regulations.
Health and safety For further information, refer to the Product Material Safety
Data Sheet.
Some people are sensitve 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.
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.
