Preparation and Application:
Surface preparation: Concrete - no oil/grease/fats. Acid-etch may be required for very smooth (cement-rich mixture, or cement cap) concrete. Metals - no oil/grease/fats.
Application Methods: Cement/concrete helicopter trowel machine; Hopper gun; Screed; Hard trowel.
Application Coverage: 30 - 250 sq. ft. gallon depending upon surface porosity and application method.
Positive Insurance rate reductions may be possible.
N.S. Special Applications
Insulation of Steel Beams/Girders/Piping
Used in construction of buildings. Steel can transmit heat from basement fire to the roof, setting it on fire. Code calls for cladding to insulate steel to reduce fire transfer probability. Most competitors apply their material up to 3-4 inch cladding thickness or more, resulting in a very time and labor-intensive application.
NOTE: When N.S. coating is combined with our Proprietary Additives and is applied to steel substrate by spray gun at approximately 1/8 thickness. The N.S. coating then expands shortly after the application to a thickness of up to 1.5, providing exceptional insulating and fireproofing qualities.
Fire/heat transfer prevention is excellent.
All N.S. applications are Pigmentable, using inexpensive iron oxides.
Chemical Corrosion Resistance: Excellent. Protects against Hydrofluoric Acid to 27% concentration.
Typical cure time to use ranges from 5 minutes to 1-1/2 hours depending upon thickness.
Cure time is controllable.
