Fosroc Nitocote EP405

Technical Information

Nitocote EP405 is a two-part, solvent free, epoxy resin coating available in blue and white. It is supplied in pre-measured quantities ready for site mixing and application. It may be applied in one or two coats to achieve the required film thickness depending on the application type.

As a gas resistant waterproof coating it provides a Type A waterproofing barrier as defined in BS8102:2009 and a ground gas-resistant liquid applied membrane compliant with BS8485:2015+A1:2019 Table 7.

As a protective coating it provides a chemical and abrasion resistant surface for concrete and steel substrates.

Where To Use

As a gas resistant waterproof coating, Nitocote EP405 is suitable for application to below ground retaining wall and foundation structures including construction joints to maintain waterproofing and ground gas protection continuity as part of a waterproofing and ground gas protection solution conforming to BS8102:2009 and BS8485:2015. It enables continuity of waterproofing and ground gas protection to be achieved in locations where the use of sheet membrane products is not feasible. It is compatible for use with the Proofex range of sheet membranes.

As a protective coating it is suitable for lining and waterproofing potable water retaining structures* and surfaces subject to contact with foodstuffs. The cured film is corrosion, chemical and abrasion resistant and is suitable for application to basements, tunnels, tanks, silos, reservoirs*, water treatment works*, breweries, dairies and meat and food processing plants. The cured film is non toxic and meets the requirements of BS 6920. (* See ‘Limitations’.)
