temperature for Nitobond EP is 10 0C. Consult the local Fosroc
office for further information. All surfaces to be treated must be firm, dust free and clean.
All laintence should be removed by etching with Reebaklens
and wire-brushing. In some cases, the existing concrete must
be chipped to a sound substrate. W here surfaces are
contaminated with oil or grease, this should be removed by
using a strong industrial detergent or organic degreaser.
Surface should be washed thoroughly with water and dried
before the application of Nitobond EP.
