- Uses
Nitoseal MS60 is suitable for sealing joints in concrete, brickwork, blockwork, perimeter sealing around doors and windows, and non-trafficked floor joints.
- Application Instructions
Preparation - Joint surfaces must be clean, dry and free from frost. Remove all dirt, laitance, loose material and foreign matter. Remove all rust, scale and protective lacquers from metal surfaces. Removal can be achieved by grinding, grit blasting or wire brushing. When resealing, the existing sealant should be removed from the joint and the arris cleaned back to sound, clean concrete. All debris must be removed. Any expansion joint filler must be checked to ensure it is tightly packed and no gaps or voids exist at the base of the sealing slot before positioning a bond breaker. The use of a bond breaker is not required in expansion joints containing cellular polyethylene joint filler such as Hydrocell or Expandafoam. For construction or contraction joints a bond breaker tape or back-up strip must be used. Where a particularly neat finish is required, mask the face edges of the joint before sealing and remove immediately after tooling is completed.
Priming - A primer is not normally required. In joints subjected to high movement or where intermittently immersed during service Fosroc Primer MS2 is recommended. Prime the joint face using a clean, dry brush. Avoid over-application of primer, to prevent causing puddles in the bottom of the joint. Nitoseal MS60 should be applied between 30 minutes and 4 hours after priming. If a joint is left unsealed for more than 4 hours, the primer should be removed by grit blasting or grinding and the joint re-primed. For further advice on priming please contact your local Fosroc Technical Service Department.
Application and Finishing
- Sachets - Cut and remove the end of the sachet and place sachet in the Fosroc GX gun. Fit the nozzle and cut at 45 degrees to a suitable size for sealing the joint.
- Cartridges - Cut and remove the end of threaded stub on cartridge. Fit the nozzle and cut at 45 degrees to a suitable size for sealing the joint. Using a proprietary skeleton cartridge gun, extrude the sealant firmly in to the joint. Tool flush within 5 minutes of application to ensure good contact between the sealant and the substrate.
- Cleaning - Clean tools immediately after use with Fosroc Equipment Cleaner or Fosroc Solvent 102.

- Should not be applied at temperatures below 5°C.
- Not suitable for water immersed conditions. Nitoseal MS600 should be used for this application.
- Not suitable for contact with bituminous materials.
- Not suitable for trafficked floor joints. Nitoseal MS300 should be used for this application.
- May cause staining to decorative stone. For a non-staining sealant use Nitoseal MS100.
- Not suitable for contact with solvents, oil or petrol.
- Should only be over-coated with a compatible, flexible coating capable of accommodating the expected movement in the joint. Over-coating may reduce the movement capability of the sealant.
- Confirm compatibility with coating if applied to painted surfaces.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Joint Design
Nitoseal MS60 may be applied to joints between 5 and 35mm wide. To minimize stress imposed on the joint sealant, all moving joints should be designed to an optimum width to depth ratio of 2:1 with an overriding minimum depth of 5mm for non-porous surfaces and 10mm for porous surfaces. Joint width should be sufficient to ensure the MAF of the sealant is not exceeded. For joint widths exceeding 35mm, please contact your local Fosroc Technical Service Department.
