Seamless Application
Nukote polyurea chemically bonds to itself producing a monolithic or seamless
coating membrane. Coating applications typically fail at seams. Without seams, there
is nowhere for fluids, bacteria, or other contaminants to pool and penetrate.
In a highly abrasive environment, polyureas perform extremely well. They are used
because of their superior elongation and high impact resistance. Epoxies and other
coating options will crack and delaminate when exposed to constant pounding. The
resistance to puncture, tearing, and abrasion make it ideal for abrasion applications
like storing and transporting products including coal, nuclear waste, garbage, and
other similar products, including particulate heavy liquids.
Method of Application
The material is applied using plural spray proportioning equipment giving production
rates in excess of 1000 m2 per day for polyurea spraying, while achieving high builds
in single applications due to the fast setting time of the product. In this specific case
due to height of works and heavy DFT builds we expect production rates of 250
square meters per day.
Installations
Regional applications are carried out by certified applicators with the proper training,
experience and professionalism required to apply our products. Our products are
molecular plastic coatings as well high end coatings which require equipment
systems that are both expensive and highly productive.
A List of firms qualified to apply our products in each region is available and all
contracts are executed through the regional trained and approved contracting entities.
particular case, it is believed that this is not desired and as a consequence has not
been recommended.
Environmental Protection
Exposed polyurea is widely used in applications such as concrete or geo-textile
coatings for secondary containment applications. Polyureas' fast cure times allow it
to be rapidly applied to a prepared substrate with minimal downtime for the facility.
This has made polyurea the choice of facility managers for walls around and floors
under chemical storage of diluted acids, alkali, salt solution, organic solvents and oils.
Polyurea provides a strong barrier to spills from reaching the environment. In this
type of application, polyurea readily conforms to footings, pipes and protrusions to
form a complete seal. Nukote is extremely concerned about the welfare of the people
and the country in which we operate. Nukote polyurea is not harmful and does not
pollute the environment through its production, storage, transportation, application, or
disposal. It is designed to protect the environment and is frequently used in that
manner.
The following document is a prepared summary of some of the uses for Nukote polyurea in the
petrochemical industry, the power generation industry, Water and Waste water , Construction
,Industrial and military applications. This summary is in no way exhaustive, and is meant only
as a guide for some potential applications.

A final advantage with respects to some coatings is cost. There are many applications where
using Nukote polyurea is not only cost competitive by cost effective. Basically, Nukote polyurea
is a good option where one of these above advantages makes it a better option than coatings
currently being used. The following is a brief description of each point and how it is an
advantage to your customers:
POLYUREA FEATURES
AND APPLICATIONS
Fast Reaction Time—Nukote polyuria’s fast reaction time (5-15 seconds) is faster than any
competing coating product. With the fast reaction time, Polyurea do not easily react with
humidity and moisture in substrates, so the material can be readily applied over cold or damp
substrates, such as steel, concrete, wood or PU foam. Fast reaction time is a great advantage of
polyurea. In the case of facility maintenance or rejuvenation, owners want to regain usage of the
facility as soon as possible. Polyurea was the chosen coating product for the Dallas
Fort worth airport, one of the world’s largest airports, remodel because walkways, car parks, and
runways that were coated during the night were fully available for use the following morning.
Actually, coated areas can be open for light trade use within an hour and put to full use within
twelve hours. Other coating products used can take weeks to apply and cure. As discussed later,
you will see how this is a great advantage for many applications, including military where
remote bases need to be set up in a matter of days and hours not weeks and months.
Virtually at any temperature without problem or complication. Countries with big terrain and
diverse climate require a versatile coating product that can be used in any location regardless of
weather. When designed as a national standard for maintenance for railroads, crews can be
trained and dispatched around the country knowing their coating product will not fail due to
atmospheric conditions.
Excellent Adhesion: An industrial protective coating will only perform as well as its ability to
adhere to the substrate requiring protection. Nukote polyuria’s adhesion tests, despite substrate
and conditions out dramatically perform other traditional coating products. In most cases the
adhesion failures in the tests are to the testing equipment and not to the polyurea. If a substrate is
moist or has condensation on it, polyurea will perform much better than competing products. A
properly prepared surface will improve adhesion, especially for critical applications such as
moist concrete for containment lining and flooring, as well as adhesion protection for geotextile,
wood and steel.
Superior Elongation and Tensile Strength: In waterproofing applications, a low modulus and
a high elongation elastomer are required to meet the challenge. Modern advances in the
chemistry mean polyurea are formulated to feel as soft and elastic as polyurethane. The new
polyurea will stretch with much less force. And, more importantly, polyurea will vigorously
resist punctures and tears. These attribute makes Nukote polyurea ideal for any application
where there will be some shifting to the substrate.
POLYUREA FEATURES
AND APPLICATIONS
Tunnels and concrete tanks for example shift and settle with the Earth’s movement. Nukote
polyurea’s excellent elongation and tensile strength allow it to bridge cracks and gaps in the
substrate preventing failures.
Low to No Volatile Content: Many local and state government agencies are cracking down on
styrene emissions. Unlike polyester fiberglass or epoxy, no fumes or styrene emission are
associated with polyurea. Therefore, polyurea is ideal for applications such as wall and floor
coatings for the food and beverage industries. Many manufacturers in the marine, bath fixture
and recreational vehicle industry can also turn to polyurea as a reliable, cost effective alternative
for both coating and molding. The low volatile content of polyurea also makes it very attractive
for confined workspaces. Due to the low VOC, Nukote polyurea can be used with potable water,
food preparation or medical applications.
High Abrasion Resistance: In a highly abrasive environment, polyurea perform extremely well.
In the rail and barge industry, polyurea are used because of their superior elongation and high
impact resistance. Epoxies and other coating options will crack and delaminate when exposed to
constant pounding. The durability and physical properties of polyurea have made it the system
of choice for the rapidly growing truck bed lining industry for both commercial and personal
trucks.
Polyurea is sprayed in a uniform texture over the metal bed surface doubling the truck bed’s life.
The resistance to puncture, tearing, and abrasion make it ideal for abrasion applications like
storing and transporting products including coal, nuclear waste, garbage, and other similar
products.
Heat and Fire Resistance: When it comes to heat resistance and fire retardant, polyurea have
the advantage over many other coating options. Nukote Has developed and patented a new
version of Fire Retardant Polyurea which opens unlimited application opportunities. Because of
its formulation, structural/rigid polyurea have excellent resistance to heat distortion and sagging.
At the same time, polyurea maintains its flexibility and high impact resistance. Polyurea resist
heat sag and maintain their shape. In the case of fire, polyurea will naturally outperform most
other polymer resins.
The resulting low smoke and flame spread is due to polyurea’s' molecular structure. Exposed to
constant flame for 20-30 seconds, polyurea will self-extinguish. Standard Nukote polyurea is not
fire proof. However, we do have some R&D products that are fireproof. These products are
designed for roofs and other similar applications.
POLYUREA FEATURES
AND APPLICATIONS
Long-Term Stability: Some polyurea are based on aliphatic isocyanate pre polymers that are
highly weather resistant and color stable. End-users could safely choose a polyurea for
applications that would be constantly exposed to sunlight, without fear of discoloration or
chalking. A standard Nukote warranty is 20 years, but we have given warranties for 50 years on
some applications.
Price—While Nukote polyurea is more expensive than many coatings on a liter by liter basis, it
is extremely cost effective when a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis is performed. Nukote
polyurea reduces downtime, and extends expected life of projects and equipment, both of which
dramatically increase the coatings value. In the case of pipelines, Nukote polyurea saves
millions of dollars because the pipe can be coated in a mobile coating facility preventing the
need to transport the pipe from the mill to the coating facility to the right of way (ROW) where
the pipe is installed. Likewise, the field joints cost a tenth of existing coating products. There
are also a number of high-end coatings for which Nukote polyurea is an ideal substitute. In these
cases, Nukote polyurea is less expensive on a liter by liter basis as well as a comprehensive cost-
benefit analysis.
Universal Applications
There are a number of applications for which Nukote polyurea is ideal regardless of industry.
Most industries have a need for protective coatings. Their roofs, floors, workshops, warehouses,
cafeterias, bathrooms, and offices all need to be coated with something.
POLYUREA FEATURES
AND APPLICATIONS
Many of these industries also have trucks or other equipment where a protective coating that
doubles the expected life of the equipment is a great advantage. The industries have waste and
potable water systems, pipes, processing plants, and tanks. They also have roads and other
infrastructure related applications. Gardens, ponds, fountains, and the like are present in almost
any industry. These universal applications are not industry specific. Nukote polyurea will
perform just as well on a roof of a power product facility as it will on the roof of a military base
or hospital. For these universal applications, you need to tour the facility, or look at the plans.
Look for large areas that will logically require coating, and then find out from the engineers or
designers what coatings have been used in the past and what their greatest weaknesses are. Ask
them the expected performance life of their existing coating. Ask about the cost of replacing it
after its useful life. Ask them what problems they would like to have their coating solve? Based
on this information you can prepare a proposal for them to evaluate. We have found it is best to
have them first read a general introduction and proposal, and then show them a physical
demonstration of the product’s application. Without fail after an engineer or designer sees
Nukote polyurea sprayed they immediately start to see new applications where it can be used. At
that point, the material starts to sell itself. Aside from Universal Applications, there are a number
of industry specific applications. Some of these possible industrial applications are outlined
below.
Petrochemical Industry
Clearly the largest coating need in the petrochemical industry is pipelines. Nukote polyurea is
the only polyurea in the world that has been used on pipelines for multinational petrochemical
companies.
Pipelines are ideal applications because they have large surface areas and because they are
coated in a controlled environment, so production speeds are easy to calculate and manage.
POLYUREA FEATURES
AND APPLICATIONS
Primary containment—petrochemical facilities have large tank farms to store their products
during the processing and transportation process. In all cases, Nukote polyurea is ideal for use
for external corrosion protection. In many applications, Nukote polyurea can be used for internal
anticorrosion coatings as well.
Secondary containment—domestic and international laws require the tank farms described
above to have secondary containment to protect the environment from leaks in the primary
containment. In addition to protecting the environment, proper secondary containment also
allows the owner to reclaim spilled material. Nukote polyurea sprayed over our geotextile fabric
is an ideal solution, and in most cases reduces the need for concrete as a foundation. Nukote
polyurea can also be applied directly over concrete without the geotextile fabric still providing
the same seamless, rigorous coating.
Power Generation----Power generation plants are large facilities and consequently have a
number of applications that would fall under the “universal applications” described above. There
are, however, a number of industry specific applications that should be considered. These
applications are based on the type of power generation facility.
The coal transportation system has a number of opportunities for coating. Coating the inside of
freight cars and trucks reduces carryback, which is the amount of coal that is left in the car or
truck after dumping. A 10% carryback makes 1 in 10 trips a waste. Also, the conveyer belts can
be coated to extend their useful life. Currently, in most plants the coal is kept in large mounds
directly on the ground with little to know containment for rainwater that soaks through the coal
and then leeches into the ground killing plant and wildlife. Nukote polyurea will solve this
problem. The coal moving equipment front-end loaders all can be coated to reduce carryback,
corrosion, and abrasion.
POLYUREA FEATURES
AND APPLICATIONS
Nukote polyurea is a good option for internal external liners for smoke stacks. It performs well
to coat the top half of the interior, but at this time we only have an R&D product to coat the
bottom half of the smoke stack.
Nuclear: Nukote polyurea is not an ideal sole coating for nuclear waste or for nuclear reactors.
However, it is an excellent coating for secondary containment. It also works well as a protective
coating for transportation equipment. Trucks used to haul contaminated soil can have their bed
liner removed saving the trouble and cost associated with replacing the entire bed. When applied
over a Nukote geotextile fabric it provides an excellent secondary containment barrier, especially
for storage of radioactive dirt and other byproducts. Other systems used in coal-fired plants can
also be used in nuclear plants.
Hydro—The largest application potential with hydroelectric power generation facilities is the
water delivery system. Often the water is brought to the facility via canals or pipes. Currently,
NCS is bidding on restoration projects for two large water delivery canals for power generation
facilities in the Middles East and South East Asia. Dams also provide a good surface area to
coat. There are a number of other applications, which hydroelectric engineers will be able
identify.
Military------Nukote polyurea is used by military branches around the world. Other than the
standard industrial applications for which the military also has needs, there are many military
specific applications. Right now, its most promising application is shrapnel prevention. Tests
show a wall coated with polyurea is dramatically more resistant to shrapnel as opposed to other
coating options.
As a specific example a normal red brick can be coated with polyurea and dropped 5-minutes
later from a five-story building. From the outside the brick looks whole. On the inside the brick
is completely destroyed. Polyurea cannot stop the brick, wood, concrete or glass from being
destroyed, but it can reduce or prevent the shrapnel, which is the primary cause of death when
buildings are bombed.
Using Nukote polyurea, a temporary bunker could be built with brick or cinder block and then
coated. This facility would be easy to camouflage, easy to maintain and resistant to shrapnel. It
is also an ideal coating for ammunition storage facilities and other below grade buildings.
The US Air Force required a fast runway repair material for use in remote air bases that need to
be set up and repaired quickly. Likewise, the speed with which Nukote polyurea is applied and
can be put to use make it ideal for mobile operation points.
Nukote polyurea has been used for industrial and military helicopter landing pads. It has been
used to coat the decks of ships and submarines as well.
POLYUREA FEATURES
AND APPLICATIONS
Mining-----The largest need for coating in the mining industry is in the material handling. The
equipment and conveyor systems require extensive abrasion and corrosion resistance. One mine
has specified Nukote polyurea as a protective liner of their large million-dollar dump trucks.
Coating the bed prior to putting into service more than doubles the expected life of the bed.
These coatings are also easy to repair. In addition to the abrasion and corrosion resistance,
Nukote polyurea also reduces carryback as explained above. Nukote polyurea also works well
for coating retaining walls to prevent erosion. Mining operations also require large secondary
containment applications to protect the environment from toxic byproducts seeping into the
ground water.
Public Works----The uses of Nukote polyurea in public works projects are extremely diverse;
some of the primary applications include the following:
Wastewater treatment—Wastewater treatment is a huge need for large cities with millions of
people generating waste water on a daily basis. Due to this load most systems are being used at
or beyond capacity. However, much of the water processed through wastewater treatment
facilities is clean ground water that entered the system through leaks in the pipes or manholes. In
fact, industry experts believe up to 30% of the unnecessary groundwater infiltration and inflow is
due to leaks in manholes. Consequently, more and more municipalities are addressing the
corrosion in wastewater treatment systems and the related health and environmental challenges
by paying increased attention to rehabilitating corroded manholes. Once seen as secondary to
mainline pipe repair, manhole rehabilitation is now recognized as essential to restoring a
collection system's overall integrity.
Clearly, both manhole and mainline pipe repair are both important, but repairing manholes is a
relatively easy and quick repair that will have a substantial impact on the treatment system. And,
unlike mainline repair the system can be repaired without affecting the system’s continuous use.
The treatment plants and other systems related to processing wastewater provide an extremely
large application potential for Nukote polyurea.
Land Fills, Waste collection and deposit—waste receptacle trucks require extremely durable
anti abrasion and corrosion protective coatings. Likewise, landfills need a protective industrial
coating that is easy and affordable to install and performs extremely well. For landfills, we
recommend using polyurea on geotextile fabric directly over dirt. This system provides a better
system than using concrete and it is dramatically more cost effective.
Bridges and tunnels—Nukote Coating Systems’ chief chemical engineer designed the polyurea
systems used on the two largest polyurea coating projects in the States, the San Mateo Bridge
and the Boston Tunnel. Nukote polyurea is an ideal coating product for any, or all, of the
bridges and tunnels that require superior industrial coatings.
POLYUREA FEATURES
AND APPLICATIONS
Ports, wharfs, and harbor development—Nukote polyurea is also ideal for ports, wharfs, and
harbor development. Nukote polyurea’s ability to withstand both long-term salt water exposure
and marine borers makes it an ideal coating for pilings, docks, and other applications. Its ability
to withstand high abrasion caused by chains and ships is also a benefit.
Conclusion
The applications mentioned above are just some of the industries and some of the applications in
those industries. Engineers who are intimately familiar with the coating needs of their specific
industry will be able to better identify other coating needs.
NUKOTE HLT
Why Nukote HLT works and sodium silicates (and other look a likes) don’t
All look-alike products do not perform alike even though they are making similar claims.
Nukote HLT acts differently because it is different and that’s why is able to penetrate more than
6 inches when the look-a-likes can only sit on the surface.
About Silicates
Silicates are plentiful in nature, constituting the greater number of the minerals that compose the
crust of the Earth. They are compounds containing silicon (next to oxygen, Earth’s most
abundant element) with oxygen and a metal. Man-made silicates are used for a wide variety of
purposes, from glass making to water treatment, plus the major ingredients of Portland cement
are silicates.
Silicate materials are used as waterproofing agents in concrete because of their solubility in
water. The waterproofing concept ideally is: water soluble silicates contact and react with
certain common ingredients which are always available inside Portland cement concrete (such as
one or all of the available hydroxide materials, soluble calcium compounds or free and unused
alkalis) to form insoluble precipitates. This process allows the Nukote HLT to increase the
density of concrete and waterproof the concrete at the same time with a single application.
The fact is, with the exception of the Nukote HLT, most, if not all, silicate products formulated
and marketed to date, begin to react with the ever present calcium hydroxide residue
immediately upon contact with the concrete’s surface. This generates a thixotropic, sparsely
distributed crystalline precipitate gel, which very much hinders or prevents further silicate
solution penetration.
The resultant hydroxide precipitated gel is not of uniform composition. It consists of variable-
sized pores, ranging from very small to very large. This causes the precipitate to only be
temporary at best. As water migrates through the gel’s larger pores, the gel erodes and
eventually will fail. How quick will depend on the volume of water and its driving force passing
through the concrete?
NUKOTE HLT
The silicate solution’s immediate surface reaction can also cause ineffective, incomplete
thixotropic gel to be generated. Since the reaction begins immediately upon contact with the
concrete’s surface, there is a tendency for there to be more silicate solution available in the
application than there is hydroxide material in the concrete to react with.
This causes varying portions of the thixotropic gel deposited inside the concrete to not be
completely reacted, becoming what is considered an incomplete gel. Incomplete gel contains
reaction sites that remain available for reactions. These unfulfilled reaction sites will eventually
react with atmospheric carbon dioxide and form carbonates. The carbonates then can eventually
migrate to the surface and cause damage to the concrete that it was meant to protect.
There are some silicate solutions, such as Nukote HLT, that are able to penetrate very deeply
into concrete and form precipitate, a gel-like compound, in the pores upon contact with the
always present free unused alkalis. However, type and uniformity of this internally produced
compound can vary greatly, and can be the most important factor as to whether the silicate
solution became beneficial to concrete or not, and to what degree. Unlike Nukote HLT, some
silicate products form gel that will absorb internal moisture and begin swelling and continue
swelling whenever moisture becomes available. This can produce extreme internal pressures and
stresses, even to a point where concrete’s integrity could be damaged quite severely (similar to an
alkali-aggregate reaction).
Nukote HLT is successful in overcoming such problems and is a superior product very
beneficial to concrete. Since Nukote HLT goes into concrete as a unique precision-blended
colloidal liquid, it’s internally generated compound or precipitate, is designed to be very
superior when compared to other existing look-alike products. The precipitate packing density
is very precise and creates pore networks of extremely uniform-sized porosity with pore sizes
smaller than a molecule of water, or free moisture.
As Nukote HLT precipitate is being formed, it involves special ingredients to cause polymer
cross linking and branching, encouraging polymer particle and strand connection. It creates
extraordinarily strong polymer chains, which provide the extra strength and durability to truly
become permanent and insoluble. Furthermore, the polymer chain and pore configuration cause
Nukote HLT gel compound’s residual water or free moisture to remain in a stretched position
with a density similar to that of ice. Should a hard freeze occur, this water or moisture does not
expand further to cause freeze-thaw cycle damage, as does the gel compounds of some look-
alike products. Look-alike products, making similar claims, usually only form shallow, weakly
linked short chain gel polymer compounds. They may or may not hold up for an appreciable
length of time. They are entirely dependent on the harshness of the concrete installation’s
surrounding environment. Plus, there is always the possibility that incomplete gel may
migrate back to the surface, creating surface traction problems in products other than Nukote
HLT.
NUKOTE HLT
Sodium silicate formulas have been around since the early 1950’s, and was originally used as a
concrete floor hardener. Since it is a sodium silicate formula it would form a thixotropic weakly-
linked crystalline structured gel in and just beneath the large surface porosity of concrete. This
sodium silicate product has large normal-sized sodium silicate molecules that would cause it to
be unable to penetrate past concrete’s surface porosity bottom. Also, it begins to gel as soon as it
contacts concrete. This is because it is activated by available hydroxides of concrete.
So without spreading (broom) and diluting with water, in attempting to make it penetrate, it still
probably doesn’t penetrate more than 2mm, and most likely will not anyway, unless the treated
concrete is extremely porous. Sodium silicate solutions have a place in the concrete treatment
arena. However, their role should only be limited as surface hardeners. Sodium silicate solutions
historically perform very poorly and ineffective as sealers since they react with any and/or all of
the hydroxides associated with concrete. Some of these hydroxides are calcium, magnesium and
potassium.
Since sodium silicates, contact one or more hydroxides immediately upon coming into contact
with Portland cement concrete their depth of penetration is severely limited due to the immediate
formation of an incompletely transformed (thixotropic) gel. Plus this solution is unable to pass
through its own self.
Due to the created thixotropic incompletely transformed gel mass carbon dioxide becomes more
prolifically absorbed from the atmosphere into the incomplete gel. This eventually forms
carbonates which promote carbonization that may detrimentally affect the surface integrity of the
concrete it was supposed to help.
Since Nukote HLT is an especially-blended colloidal silicate, and not a sodium silicate, its
molecule sizes are very tiny, plus their molecular size is even controlled while penetrating
concrete. Nukote HLT’s internal reactions are activated by concrete’s free alkali and/or alkaline
hydrates.
Nukote HLT initially encounters free alkali between surface porosity and concrete’s matrix
component; this is also the transition zone. Free alkali is then available throughout the remainder
of the concrete.
Nukote HLT has unique ability to render harmless existent internal corrosive activity by
neutralizing acids and etc., which may already be attacking the integrity of concrete’s embedded
steel.
Nukote HLT unlike shallow-depth penetrating sodium silicates treats virtually every ailment or
potential ailment associated with concrete, even to the point of increasing its compressive and
flexural strengths, in most cases. Also unlike other products, Nukote HLT benefits are
innumerable, benefits not realized from sodium silicate based products.

Overview:
Please note that when comparing similar technologies like Polyurea, Polyurethane,
Polyurea –Polyurethane hybrids, the elastomeric properties have linear relations and
do have a bearing on most physical properties if one is altered.
The Increased hardness usually reduces abrasion, tear values and elongation. This
change may be as a result of trying to increase the tensile values. There is an
optimum and desired value for each application and these values should be the sole
criteria and bench marked instead of trying to meet a physical property of individual
manufacturer. These values are more often to zero on their products and a marketing
tool than any functional requirement.
Today’s wastewater treatment systems have become more aggressive primarily due to
the proliferation of microbiological induced corrosion and abrasive forces in the
waste stream, advances in odour control and reduction, legislations and restrictions of
heavy metals in the stream are the primary reasons for the increase in the corrosive
effects in today’s wastewater treatment plants and collection systems.
Nukote recommend a value between 20-30 Mpa in conjunction with critical property
values. Similarly high compressive values are not required or a design criteria in
waste water applications which are used as a marketing tool by other technologies. A
compressive values more than the standard concrete value is sufficient as per Nukote
standards. This value is more than sufficient to stand the head pressure in a deep Man
Hole
Rather than simply interpret value for hardness, which by itself is not very
meaningful, the value should be read in conjunction with abrasion resistance of the
liner. A lower abrasion loss value is more relevant for protective liners than the
hardness. Higher the hardness lowers the abrasion values. A balance should be made
when choosing a liner and it is always desirable to have a better abrasion resistance
liner to a hard one. Nukote recommend < 12 mg loss liner when tested as per ASTM
D 4060 tabor abrasion and hardness value of > 90 Shore A(45 D) as per ASTM D
2240.
Tear Strength
Compared with other elastomeric materials, Polyurea are well known for their
inherent strength and abrasion resistance. These characteristics are reflected in tear
strength, a performance attribute that is critical for many applications. The tear
strength is often a key material selection parameter, suppliers, processors and end-
users need to factor and Nukote recommend value more than 75 Kn/M for liners to
be used in Waste water in conjunction with other properties.
Concrete Protection:
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in wastewater collection and
treatment systems. Unfortunately, significant corrosion can occur to unprotected
concrete when sulfide generation in wastewater is not controlled. Sources of sulfide
in wastewater includes unregulated and/or uncontrolled industrial discharges,
degradation of sulfur containing organic matter, or the microbiological reduction of
sulfate or other oxidized forms of sulfur. The construction of regional collection and
treatment systems has increased wastewater travel time in collection systems,
culminating in anaerobic wastewater and consequently increased sulfide generation.
A major cause of odors is hydrogen sulfide, a gas detectable at extremely low
concentrations.
Hydrogen sulfide is notorious for its toxicity, as well as its ability to corrode a
number of materials used in construction of sewers and treatment plants, including
concrete. Concrete corrosion is caused by the aerobic microbial oxidation of
hydrogen sulfide to sulfuric acid and the subsequent chemical reaction of the acid
with the cement binder in the concrete.
• Chemical resistance
NUKOTE COATING SYSTEMS
• Permeation
• Abrasion resistance
Chemical Resistance
Permeation, Permeability
Lower Permeability is the most desired property for a liner in immersion services
coupled with its ability to resist the medium in which it is immersed. The liner
should be able to resist or offer maximum resistance to transmission of vapors and
molecules of corrosive particles (i.e. sulfuric acid, water vapor, hydrogen sulfide,
salts, etc.) to penetrate through the polymer matrix of a coating/lining system and
begin attacking the coating/lining itself
Abrasion Resistance
Since wastewater treatment systems have host of abrasives in the stream including
sand, grit, salts etc., a liner to resist these and which have a lower loss as per ASTM
4060 provides the right tool/test to measure the wear resistance.
Nukote ST and Nukote XT Plus is used globally in waste water applications in the

Summary
When a system with good chemical resistance, excellent permeability and superior
abrasion resistance, are selected and properly installed and inspected, longevity and
maximum asset life cycles are guaranteed apart from the adhesive bond to the
concrete substrate as well as the Intercoat bond in multi- layer system.
I. GENERAL
1. The Nukote Aegis Protective and Restoration Systems are based on the experience
acquired during their involvement with the construction, protection and maintenance
of structures in waste water transmission, collection & treatment plants, manholes,
wet wells, including other sewer related equipment. Where appropriate they are based
on, or reference is made to, international, regional, national and industry standards.
2. The objective is to set the recommended standard for good design and practice
applied by Nukote Coating Systems International, LLC in waste water and other
infrastructure and thereby to achieve maximum technical and economic benefit from
standardization.
3. The type and typical application thickness of the Nukote Protection and
Restoration Systems are dependent on the exposure and abuse levels. The
recommended TDFT will provide adequate uniform membrane, chemical resistance,
abrasion resistance, impact resistance, resistance to mechanical damage.
4. For spray applying Polyurea systems, the correct equipment is critical to achieve
proper mixing. For fast set spray systems, equipment shall be a plural component

DESCRIPTION:
Nukote HLT is a part of the range of primers and concrete treatments which complements our unique advanced
polyurea polymer coatings so that complete solutions are available for nearly all coating applications. Nukote
HLT is a unique VOC/VOS free penetrant in a colloidal liquid base which, when applied to Portland cement
concrete produces a permanent hydrostatic barrier whilst imparting significant structural, waterproofing and
strengthening benefits whilst reducing potential for pin-holing in the polyurea topcoat.
Nukote HLT when applied as a single coat with an airless spray unit penetrates up to 8 inch (200 mm) and forms
a permanent, passive, non destructive colloidal gel barrier beneath the concrete surface. Nukote HLT purges oil
and other contaminants from within the concrete however for serious contamination, Nukote recommend using
Nukote HPT. Nukote HLT can also be used as a permanent stand alone concrete waterproofing and enhancing
treatment system in non critical applications. Nukote HLT can be applied to freshly poured concrete as an
alternative cure to water cure where it imparts significant physical benefits.
FEATURES
TYPICAL USES:
Contaminated Concrete
Wet, Damp or Below Grade concrete
Concrete with corrosion of embedded steel
Curing Agent for freshly poured concrete

gallons.
APPLICATION:
On Existing Concrete:
Remove any coating or surface finish that may resist penetration into the concrete interior.
Place a few drops of water on the surface to test surface porosity. If the water doesn’t soak in immediately it
needs to be opened up with grinding, sweep blasting or similar. In hot climates, slightly dampen the surface with
a mist coat of water. Apply the Nukote HLT using a medium to high pressure airless spray unit with a 0.019”
fan spray nozzle. While spraying, keep the spray tip 6 inch from the surface and work side to side and from the
bottom up (if applicable)
Apply the Nukote HLT at a rate of 180ft²/ gallon (minimum) with a spray pattern & overlapping by 50% on
each pass. Wait for at least 24 hours then flush with water to remove purged salts, particles and other
contaminants.
Where contaminants have been purged, retest the surface for porosity if additional contaminants are present, the
surface will not absorb water and an additional treatment of Nukote HLT is required. Carry out surface
treatment and polyurea application to Nukote specifications.
NUKOTE HLT®
Hydro Lock Treatment, Concrete Gel Barrier Treatment
On New Concrete:
Nukote HLT provides an alternative cure method providing cure equal to or better than water curing. Concrete
is significantly more water proof, abrasion resistant, chemical resistant and less likely to produce pin-holing in a
polyurea coating.

Nukote SPU Foam
Polyurethane Insulation
SURFACE PREPARATION:
Surfaces to receive Nukote Foam must be clean and dry, free of dirt, oil, solvent, grease, loose particulates,
frost, ice and other foreign matter which could inhibit adhesion. Moisture content and surface conditions of
substrate are critical to adhesion of Foam and need to be verified by installing contractor in small test areas
before proceeding with full application. The surface should be dry, smooth, and structurally sound.
All primers must be applied per Nukote published technical data sheets and product labels. Plywood, OSB, and
lumber shall not have greater than 15% moisture content. Generally a primer is not required for these surfaces.
On substrates where the moisture content cannot be determined or exceeds 15%, a suitable primer is
recommended. Adhesion spray tests may be performed with insulating foam and the interface line checked upon
cure for good cell structure and adhesion. Warming of these surfaces during winter conditions for increase
adhesion is recommended. CMU, structural and poured-in-place concrete must have a minimum 28-day cure
and moisture content below 15%.
It is recommended to Abrasive blast all steel surfaces to Sa 2½ with a good anchor profile. Priming is Optional
and mandatory in certain cases. Consult NCSI for primer recommendations.
Painted Steel, galvanized steel, and aluminium panels: check surfaces for mill oil used in the manufacturing
process and moisture condensate. All oil must be removed and the surface clean and dry before priming.
Washed and dry painted steel panels may not require priming. All aluminium and galvanized panels must be
primed using Nukote Recommended primers. (Consult NCSI for primers)
APPLICATION:
This material must be applied utilizing high-pressure, heated plural component spray proportioning equipment,
such as those manufactured by Graco®. GlasCraft®, Gusmer® .The proportioning equipment utilized must be
capable of supplying correct pressure and heat for the appropriate hose length on a consistent basis.
The proportioning equipment shall be capable for heating, mixing, and spray application of polyurethane foam
and be able to maintain 1:1 metering with a + 2% variance and adequate main heating capacity to deliver heated
and pressurized materials up to 158°F. Heated hose must be able to maintain pre-set temperatures for the full
length of the hose. Minimum 2:1 ratio feeder pumps are required to supply stored materials through minimum
12 mm supply hoses. Pressurized and heated tanks systems may be used if sized appropriately to provide
adequate flow at maximum operating capacity and temperatures. Spray guns such as GX-7, GAP Pro Gun and
Fusion gun, are well suited for applications where 10 litres/min or higher volume is desired. These guns may
be fitted with smaller output tips (6-8 litres/min.) to perform detail work on pipes, curbs, platforms and parapets
etc. Priming is not required for Nukote SPU for most some substrates. Please review your specific project with
Nukote technicians. Nukote SPU should be top coated with suitable finishes.The recommended processing
temperatures ‘Part A’ Main 104°-122°F, ‘Part B’ Main 104°-122°F, Hose 104°-122°F are critical settings to
achieve viscosity to allow balanced pressure during spraying. Balanced chemical output pressures are important
to produce a good mix. Foam output pressures greater than 14 bar (200 psi) differential indicate either improper
chemical temperatures, or worn gun/packing parts... A critical requirement for good spray mixing requires
appropriate tip/module sizing to the proportioner and adequate heating capacity.

COATING V.O.C. (Combined Side-A & Side-B): 200 g/l (1.67 lb/gal) VAPOR DENSITY: N/A
EVAPORATION RATE: Slower than ether SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Reacts with water
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME: (Based on Aromatic Naphtha) Lower: 1.9% Upper: 12.3%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide. If water is used, use very large quantities of cold water. The reaction
between water and hot isocyanate may be vigorous.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus in positive pressure mode with
full-face piece. Boots, gloves (neoprene), goggles, and full protective clothing are also required. Excessive pressure or temperature
may cause explosive rupture of containers.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Water contamination will produce carbon dioxide. Do not reseal contaminated
containers as pressure buildup may rupture them. Combustible.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Heat, high temperature, open flame, sparks, and moisture. Contact with incompatible materials in a closed
system will cause liberation of carbon dioxide and buildup of pressure.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): This product will react with any material containing active hydrogens, such as water,
alcohol, ammonia, amines, alkalis and acids, the reaction with water is slow under 50°C, but is accele rated at higher temperature and in
Page 1 of 7 Copyright © 2010 by Nukote Coating Systems Intl, All Rights Reserved Nukote Polyprime II
the presence of alkalis, tertiary amines, and metal compounds. Some reactions can be violent. Material can react violently with strong
oxidizing agents.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BY-PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, traces amounts of
hydrogen cyanide and unidentified organic compounds may be formed during combustion.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: May occur. High temperatures, above 207°C (400°F) in the presence of moisture alkalis, tertiary
amines, and metal compounds will accelerate polymerization. Possible evolution of carbon dioxide gas may rupture closed containers.
SKIN CONTACT: Some components used in this material when spilled on the skin may cause irritation, redness, swelling, or blistering.
Repeated contact may cause irritation of the skin and an allergic skin reaction consisting of a hive-like rash on locations not even
directly contacted by the liquid. Individuals who have developed a skin sensitization can develop these symptoms as a result of contact
with very small amounts of liquid material or as a result of exposure to vapor.
EYE CONTACT: Liquid, aerosols or vapors are severely irritating and can cause pain, tearing, reddening and swelling. The effects of
liquid directly contacting the eye can lead to possible damage to the cornea and impairment of vision. The effects of high vapor
concentration may vary from slight irritation with tearing and burning sensation to keratitis consisting of inflammation of the cornea and
impairment of vision. Any level of contact should not be left untreated.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Systemically toxic concentrations of this product will probably not be absorbed through human skin.
INGESTION: Can result in irritating and corrosive action in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract and gastroenteritis. Symptoms
can include sore throat, headache, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Pronounced gastroenteritis effects would probably
occur on repeated ingestion.
INHALATION: Isocyanate vapors or mist at concentrations above the TLV can irritate (burning sensation) the mucous membranes in
the respiratory tract (nose, throat, lungs) causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath and reduced
lung function (breathing obstruction). High vapor concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression as evidenced by
giddiness, headache, dizziness, and nausea. Persons with a preexisting, non-specific bronchial hyperactivity can respond to
concentrations below the TLV with similar symptoms as well as asthma attack. Exposure well above the TLV may lead to bronchitis,
bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs). As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain
individuals may develop isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma) which will cause them to react to a later exposure to isocyanate at
levels well below the TLV. Similar to many non-specific asthmatic responses, there are reports that once sensitized an individual can
experience these symptoms upon exposure to dust, cold air or other irritants. This increased lung sensitivity can persist for weeks and
in severe cases for several years. Chronic overexposure to isocyanate has also been reported to cause lung damage (including
decrease in lung function) which may be permanent. Sensitization can either be temporary or permanent.
HEALTH HAZARDS: ACUTE: Exposure may cause mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritation, tightness of chest, headache,
shortness of breath, and a dry cough. At concentrations exceeding current occupational limits and for sensitized individuals at levels
less than or greater than current occupational limits, asthma-like symptoms may occur. These symptoms may include coughing,
wheezing, and shortness of breath. A hypersensitive pneumonitis may also occur if the person is sensitized. This syndrome is
characterized by fever, nonproductive cough, wheezing, chills, and shortness of breath. Central nervous system (CNS) depression may
also result. The effects of acute exposure may be delayed in onset up to 12-24 hours. CHRONIC: Repeated exposure above current
occupational limits may cause an allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract. This is characterized by an asthma-like response upon
re-exposure to the chemical. The symptoms may include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness, and may be
fatal. Central nervous system (CNS) impairment leading to unconsciousness and fatality may occur in extreme cases.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Cardiovascular disease, asthma or asthmatic bronchitis,
emphysema, allergic disease, chronic respiratory disease, sinusitis, headache and dizziness.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, preferably lukewarm.
After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Have eyes examined and treated by
medical personnel. INHALATION: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If
breathing is labored, give oxygen. Consult medical personnel. SKIN CONTACT: Wash material off the skin thoroughly with plenty of
soap and water. If redness, itching, or a burning sensation develops, get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing and
decontaminates footwear before reuse. INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. Immediately drink large quantities of water and refer
person to medical personnel. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Wear skin, eye, and respiratory protection during cleanup.
Soak up material with absorbent and shovel into a chemical waste container. Cover container, but do not seal, and remove from work
area. Prepare a decontamination solution of 2.0% liquid detergent and 3-8% concentrated ammonium hydroxide in water (5-10%
sodium carbonate may be substituted for the ammonium hydroxide). Follow the precautions on the supplier's material safety data
sheets. All operations should be performed by trained personnel familiar with the hazards of the chemicals used. Treat the spill area
with the decontamination solution, using about 10 parts of solution for each part of the spill, and allow it to react for at least 15 minutes.
Carbon dioxide will be evolved, leaving insoluble polyureas. Residues from spill cleanup, even when treated as described may continue
to be regulated under provisions of RCRA and require storage and disposal as hazardous waste. For major spills, call CHEMTREC
(Chemical Transportation Emergency Center) at 800-424-9300.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Slowly stir the isocyanate waste into the decontamination solution described above. Let stand for 48
hours, allowing the evolved carbon dioxide to vent away, residues may still be subject to RCRA storage and disposal requirements.
Dispose off in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal laws and regulations regarding treatment.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage area, in closed containers and
out of direct sunlight. Keep liquid and vapors away from heat, sparks and flame, store in containers above ground and surrounded by
dikes to contain spills or leaks. Sufficient heat or pressure may ignite or detonate even liquid product in the absence of sparks or open
flame. Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes and turn off other sources of ignition before use and until all vapors are gone. Vapors may
accumulate and travel to ignition sources distant from the handling site; flash fire can result. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Containers, even those that have been emptied, may contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or perform similar
operations on or near containers. Do not pressurize containers to empty them. Use explosion-proof lighting and equipment, non-
sparking tools, clothes and shoes. Ground all structures, transfer containers and equipment to conform to the national electrical code.
Use procedures which prevent static electrical sparks. Static electricity may accumulate and create a fire hazard.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Prevent skin and eye contact, observe TLV limitations. Avoid breathing vapors. Workers should shower and
change to fresh clothing after each shift. A sensitized individual should not be exposed to the product that caused the sensitization. Air
circulation and exhaustion of product vapors must be maintained until the coatings have fully cured to insure that no potential fire,
explosion or health hazard remains. Warning properties (irritation of the eyes, nose and throat or odor) are not adequate to prevent
chronic overexposure from inhalation. This product can produce asthmatic sensitization upon either single inhalation exposure to a
relatively high concentration or upon repeated inhalation exposure to lower concentrations. Exposure to vapors of heated products can
be extremely dangerous. Employee education and training in safe handling of this material is required under OSHA hazard
communication standard. Individuals with existing respiratory disease such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or asthma should not be
exposed to products. These individuals should be identified through baseline and annual evaluation and removed from further
exposure. Medical examination should include medical history, vital capacity, and forced expiratory volume at one second.
VENTILATION: The use of mechanical dilution ventilation is recommended whenever this product is used in a confined space, is
heated above ambient temperatures, or is agitated. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Use local exhaust ventilation to keep
airborne concentrations below the TLV. Follow guidelines in the ACGIH publication “Industrial Ventilation”. Exhaust air may need to be
cleaned by scrubbers of filters to reduce environmental contamination.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If airborne concentrations exceed or are expected to exceed the TLV, use MSHA/NIOSH approved
positive pressure supplied air respirator with a full face piece or an air supplied hood. For emergencies, use a positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus. Air purifying (cartridge type) respirators are not approved for protection against isocyanates.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Gloves determined to be impervious under the conditions of use should be worn always when working with
this product. Depending on conditions of use, additional protection may be required such as apron, arm covers, or full body suit. Wash
contaminated clothing before re-wearing. Protective clothing should be selected and used in accordance with "Guidelines for the

* Indicates toxic chemical(s) subject to the reporting requirements of section 313 of Title III and of 40 CFR 372.
Information concerning non-hazardous ingredients is considered a Trade Secret.
EVAPORATION RATE: Slower than ether SOLUBILITY IN WATER: Reacts with water
FLAMMABLE LIMITS IN AIR BY VOLUME: (Based on N-MTHYL-2PRROLIDINONE) Lower: 1.3% Upper: 9.5%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide. If water is used, use very large quantities of cold water. The reaction
between water and hot isocyanate may be vigorous.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus in positive pressure mode with
full-face piece. Boots, gloves (neoprene), goggles, and full protective clothing are also required. Excessive pressure or temperature
may cause explosive rupture of containers.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Water contamination will produce carbon dioxide. Do not reseal contaminated
containers as pressure buildup may rupture them. Combustible.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Heat, high temperature, open flame, sparks, and moisture. Contact with incompatible materials in a closed
system will cause liberation of carbon dioxide and buildup of pressure.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID): This product will react with any material containing active hydrogens, such as water,
alcohol, ammonia, amines, alkalis and acids, the reaction with water is slow under 50°C, but is accele rated at higher temperature and in
the presence of alkalis, tertiary amines, and metal compounds. Some reactions can be violent. Material can react violently with strong
oxidizing agents.
Page 1 of 4 Copyright © 2010 by Nukote Coating Systems Intl, All Rights Reserved Nukote IC Prime
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BY-PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, traces amounts of
hydrogen cyanide and unidentified organic compounds may be formed during combustion.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: May occur. High temperatures, above 207°C (400°F) in the presence of moisture alkalis, tertiary
amines, and metal compounds will accelerate polymerization. Possible evolution of carbon dioxide gas may rupture closed containers.
SKIN CONTACT: Some components used in this material when spilled on the skin may cause irritation, redness, swelling, or blistering.
Repeated contact may cause irritation of the skin and an allergic skin reaction consisting of a hive-like rash on locations not even
directly contacted by the liquid. Individuals who have developed a skin sensitization can develop these symptoms as a result of contact
with very small amounts of liquid material or as a result of exposure to vapor.
EYE CONTACT: Liquid, aerosols or vapors are severely irritating and can cause pain, tearing, reddening and swelling. The effects of
liquid directly contacting the eye can lead to possible damage to the cornea and impairment of vision. The effects of high vapor
concentration may vary from slight irritation with tearing and burning sensation to keratitis consisting of inflammation of the cornea and
impairment of vision. Any level of contact should not be left untreated.
SKIN ABSORPTION: Systemically toxic concentrations of this product will probably not be absorbed through human skin.
INGESTION: Can result in irritating and corrosive action in the mouth, stomach tissue and digestive tract and gastroenteritis. Symptoms
can include sore throat, headache, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Pronounced gastroenteritis effects would probably
occur on repeated ingestion.
INHALATION: Isocyanate vapors or mist at concentrations above the TLV can irritate (burning sensation) the mucous membranes in
the respiratory tract (nose, throat, lungs) causing runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath and reduced
lung function (breathing obstruction). High vapor concentrations may cause central nervous system (CNS) depression as evidenced by
giddiness, headache, dizziness, and nausea. Persons with a preexisting, non-specific bronchial hyperactivity can respond to
concentrations below the TLV with similar symptoms as well as asthma attack. Exposure well above the TLV may lead to bronchitis,
bronchial spasm and pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs). As a result of previous repeated overexposures or a single large dose, certain
individuals may develop isocyanate sensitization (chemical asthma) which will cause them to react to a later exposure to isocyanate at
levels well below the TLV. Similar to many non-specific asthmatic responses, there are reports that once sensitized an individual can
experience these symptoms upon exposure to dust, cold air or other irritants. This increased lung sensitivity can persist for weeks and
in severe cases for several years. Chronic overexposure to isocyanate has also been reported to cause lung damage (including
decrease in lung function) which may be permanent. Sensitization can either be temporary or permanent.
HEALTH HAZARDS: ACUTE: Exposure may cause mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritation, tightness of chest, headache,
shortness of breath, and a dry cough. At concentrations exceeding current occupational limits and for sensitized individuals at levels
less than or greater than current occupational limits, asthma-like symptoms may occur. These symptoms may include coughing,
wheezing, and shortness of breath. A hypersensitive pneumonitis may also occur if the person is sensitized. This syndrome is
characterized by fever, nonproductive cough, wheezing, chills, and shortness of breath. Central nervous system (CNS) depression may
also result. The effects of acute exposure may be delayed in onset up to 12-24 hours. CHRONIC: Repeated exposure above current
occupational limits may cause an allergic sensitization of the respiratory tract. This is characterized by an asthma-like response upon
re-exposure to the chemical. The symptoms may include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness, and may be
fatal. Central nervous system (CNS) impairment leading to unconsciousness and fatality may occur in extreme cases.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Cardiovascular disease, asthma or asthmatic bronchitis,
emphysema, allergic disease, chronic respiratory disease, sinusitis, headache and dizziness.

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Wear skin, eye, and respiratory protection during cleanup.
Soak up material with absorbent and shovel into a chemical waste container. Cover container, but do not seal, and remove from work
area. Prepare a decontamination solution of 2.0% liquid detergent and 3-8% concentrated ammonium hydroxide in water (5-10%
sodium carbonate may be substituted for the ammonium hydroxide). Follow the precautions on the supplier's material safety data
sheets. All operations should be performed by trained personnel familiar with the hazards of the chemicals used. Treat the spill area
Page 2 of 4 Copyright © 2010 by Nukote Coating Systems Intl, All Rights Reserved Nukote IC Prime
with the decontamination solution, using about 10 parts of solution for each part of the spill, and allow it to react for at least 15 minutes.
Carbon dioxide will be evolved, leaving insoluble polyureas. Residues from spill cleanup, even when treated as described may continue
to be regulated under provisions of RCRA and require storage and disposal as hazardous waste. For major spills, call CHEMTREC
(Chemical Transportation Emergency Center) at 800-424-9300.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Slowly stir the isocyanate waste into the decontamination solution described above. Let stand for 48
hours, allowing the evolved carbon dioxide to vent away, residues may still be subject to RCRA storage and disposal requirements.
Dispose off in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal laws and regulations regarding treatment.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage area, in closed containers and
out of direct sunlight. Keep liquid and vapors away from heat, sparks and flame, store in containers above ground and surrounded by
dikes to contain spills or leaks. Sufficient heat or pressure may ignite or detonate even liquid product in the absence of sparks or open

sodium carbonate may be substituted for the ammonium hydroxide). Follow the precautions on the supplier's material safety data
sheets. Trained personnel familiar with the hazards of the chemicals used should perform all operations. Treat the spill area with the
decontamination solution, using about 10 parts of solution for each part of the spill, and allow it to react for at least 15 minutes. Carbon

dioxide will be evolved, leaving insoluble polyureas. Residues from spill cleanup, even when treated as described may continue to be
regulated under provisions of RCRA and require storage and disposal as hazardous waste. For major spills, call CHEMTREC
(Chemical Transportation Emergency Center) at 800-424-9300.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Slowly stir the isocyanate waste into the decontamination solution described above using 10 parts of
the solution for each part of the isocyanate. Let stand for 48 hours, allowing the evolved carbon dioxide to vent away, residues may still
be subject to RCRA storage and disposal requirements. Dispose off in compliance with all relevant local, state, and federal laws and
regulations regarding treatment.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORING: Keep in cool, dry, ventilated storage area, in closed containers and
out of direct sunlight. Store in containers above ground and surrounded by dikes to contain spills or leaks. Keep containers closed
when not in use. Containers, even those that have been emptied, may contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld or perform
similar operations on or near containers.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Prevent skin and eye contact, observe TLV limitations. Avoid breathing vapors. Workers should shower and
change to fresh clothing after each shift. A sensitized individual should not be exposed to the product that caused the sensitization. Air
circulation and exhaustion of isocyanate vapors must be maintained until the coatings have fully cured to insure that no potential fire,
explosion or health hazard remains. Warning properties (irritation of the eyes, nose and throat or odor) are not adequate to prevent
chronic overexposure from inhalation. This product can produce asthmatic sensitization upon either single inhalation exposure to a
relatively high concentration or upon repeated inhalation exposure to lower concentrations. Exposure to vapors of heated isocyanates
can be extremely dangerous. Employee education and training in safe handling of this material is required under OSHA hazard
communication standard. Individuals with existing respiratory disease such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or asthma should not be
exposed to isocyanates. These individuals should be identified through baseline and annual evaluation and removed from further
exposure. Medical examination should include medical history, vital capacity, and forced expiratory volume at one second.
VENTILATION: If needed, use local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the TLV. Follow guidelines in the ACGIH
publication “Industrial Ventilation”. Exhaust air may need to be cleaned by scrubbers of filters to reduce environmental contamination.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If airborne concentrations exceed or are expected to exceed the TLV, use MSHA/NIOSH approved
positive pressure supplied air respirator with a full face piece or an air supplied hood. For emergencies, use a positive pressure self-
contained breathing apparatus. Air purifying (cartridge type) respirators are not approved for protection against isocyanates.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Gloves determined to be impervious under the conditions of use should be worn always when working with
this product. Depending on conditions of use, additional protection may be required such as apron, arm covers, or full body suit. Wash
contaminated clothing before re-wearing. Protective clothing should be selected and used in accordance with "Guidelines for the
Selection of Chemical Protective Clothing" published by ACGIH.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND MEASURES: Unhindered access to safety shower and eye wash stations. As a general
hygienic practice, wash hands and face after use. Showers and cleaning of clothes are recommended. Follow all label instructions.
Educate and train employees in safe use of product.

In long-term inhalation study, rats were exposed over a period of 2 years to mechanically generate
repairable aerosols (aerodynamic diameter 95% less than 5µm) of polymeric MDI (PMDI) in concentrations
of 0.2, 1.0 and 6.0 mg Pmdi/m3. The group of animals exposed to the highest concentration suffered an
increased incidence of lung tumours, persistent inflammatory changes to the nose, respiratory tract and
lungs, and yellowish deposits in the respiratory tract and lungs. The animals in the 1.0 mg/m3 group
exhibited slight irritation and inflammatory changes to the nose, respiratory tract and lungs, but did not
develop lung tumors’ and /or deposits. Animals in the 0.2 mg/m3 group suffered no irritation; this
concentration was therefore deemed to constitute the “no-effect level”.
