Description
A fast set, rapid curing modified polyurea
Nukote XT-plus is a fast set, rapid curing modified polyurea designed for use in application on concrete or steel or other substrates where exposure to high acidic or alkaline chemical concentrations are present. It is designed for acid and base environments and is a 100% solid, flexible, aromatic, two components spray polyurea that can be applied to suitably prepared concrete and metal surfaces. It’s extremely fast gel time makes it suitable for applications down to -30°C. It may be applied in single or multiple applications without appreciable sagging and is relatively insensitive to moisture and temperature allowing application in most temperatures. Nukote XT plus is suitable where anaerobic and aerobic waste by products combined with elevated temperatures are expected. The product is commonly specified in conjunction with other Nukote product in monolithic compositions.

Application
This material must be applied utilizing high-pressure, heated plural component spray proportioning equipment, such as those manufactured by GlasCraft®, Gusmer® and Graco®. The proportioning equipment utilized must be capable of supplying correct pressure and heat for the appropriate hose length on a consistent basis. Both Part-A and Part-B material should be preconditioned at 25-30° before application. For optimum performance, the substrate should be abrasive blasted. Concrete subtrates should be allowed to cure a minimum of 30 days. On concrete, Nukote XT plus should always be applied over a suitable primer for maximum adhesion. Please review your specific project with Nukote technicians. For all submersed applications, a primer is absolutely essential, after proper preparation. Recommended DFTs are a function of the project, please contact a Nukote technician. On horizontal surface applications, a texture “stipple” coat can be applied for non-skid purposes, after reaching the initial desired film thickness.
Chemical resistance
Each Nukote product formulation has varying levels of resistance to specific chemicals. Please review the chemical immersion test data included in the Nukote Test Book for general resistance to specific chemicals at specific concentration levels. Chemical concentrations are complex and when combined with temperatures above ambient levels this complexity increases exponentially. Contact Nukote Technical Personnel for specific recommendations for chemical resistance prior to specifying these products in this application type. Consult with NCSI for more details on product and chemical resistance. The following chart is the results of Polyurea immersed in chemicals and tested as per ASTM D 3912.
