Standard compliance Chemical properties

Nitoproof 600 meets the requirements of ASTM C836-84. Nitoproof 600 is unaffected by a range of mild acids, alkalis
and water borne salts and is resistant to bio-deterioration.
Description

Nitoproof 600 single component pitch modied polyurethane

cures by reaction with atmospheric moisture to give a tough
elastomeric waterproof membrane. It is supplied in a single
grade to meet all site application methods and requirements.

Nitoproof 600 is a medium viscosity grade (approximately 600

poise) for roller, squeegee or spray application to horizontal
and vertical surfaces.
