Also available: Nitokit Accessory Pack as well as extra hoses, nipples and air release pins.
Application Notes
Application of the injection resin may commence as soon as the Nitokit Surface Sealant has fully hardened.
Mixing
- Lightly tap the side of the resin capsule near the base with a hammer two or three times on different sides to break internal glass container of hardener. (The glass can be heard moving when broken)
- Pierce the foil sealed threaded end of the cartridge. Screw the Nitokit LV hose on to the cartridge. Ensure the ‘O’ ring is in place on the cartridge. Do not over tighten the fitting as this may distort the ‘O’ ring
- Use the mixed material within the useable life (50 minutes @ 20°C
Injecting
- Place the cartridge into the gun supplied with the accessory pack, then push the free end of the Nitokit hose on to the lowest nipple and tighten the locking cap. Do not over tighten
- Insert an air release pin into the next nipple adjacent to the injection point
- Commence pumping slowly. Do not use excessive pressure. The rate of acceptance into fine cracks may be very slow
- When resin appears at the nipple adjacent to the injection point:
- Stop pumping
- Release the pressure on the injection gun
- Remove the air release pin
- Unscrew the cap and, with a twisting movement, pull off the Nitokit hose
- Attach the Nitokit hose to the next nipple, insert air release pin in the nipple beyond and recommence pumping, then repeat the process until the entire length of crack has been injected
- On completion of pumping, the last cartridge can be left connected and pressurised slightly to allow for possible seepage into deep-seated cracks.
Making Good
- After the resin has set, remove the nipples. These can be knocked off with a hammer
- Make good any holes or voids with Nitokit Surface Sealant
- The existing surface sealant can then be removed by either grinding or heating with a hot air gun and scraping the concrete surface until the original substrate profile is restored
- Tools and application equipment should be cleaned using Fosroc Solvent 102
Limitations
- Should not be used for cracks where movement is expected to continue. Other measures should be taken to accommodate such movement, ie cutting and forming a movement joint
- Where ambient temperatures exceed 20°C note the pot life will be reduced
- Cure temperatures below 15°C will result in slower strength build up; at 5°C cure will stop until the material warms
