Product Intelligence
Nitoprime 120: Water-Based Primer for Porous Substrates
Product Overview
Nitoprime 120 is a single-component, fast-drying water-based primer specifically formulated for porous surfaces including brick, masonry, cement, and concrete. Previously known as Emer-Proof Primer Porous, this product serves as an essential preparatory coating in waterproofing systems and provides both waterproofing and adhesion-enhancement properties.
Key Features and Advantages
Nitoprime 120 offers several distinctive advantages for construction and waterproofing applications:
- Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content of 22g/litre, making it environmentally friendly
- Fast-drying formulation enabling efficient construction workflows with minimal turnaround time
- Solvent-free, non-flammable composition with no hazardous odours
- Suitable for internal and external priming applications
- Excellent bonding and penetrating properties into concrete and masonry surfaces
- Water-based system ensuring 100% water solubility in its wet state
Technical Specifications

Supply and Packaging
Nitoprime 120 is supplied in 15-litre pails with product code FC000601-15L, making it suitable for both small and large-scale projects.
Application Coverage
The coverage rate varies depending on substrate characteristics:
- General porous substrates: Approximately 6-8 square metres per litre
- Porous masonry surfaces: Approximately 7 square metres per litre
A second coat may be required depending on the substrate porosity to ensure an even coat of primer on the substrate.
Application Methods
Nitoprime 120 can be applied to vertical, horizontal, and overhead surfaces using any of the following methods:
- Roller application
- Brush application
- Airless spray unit
Compatible Membrane Systems
Nitoprime 120 serves as the preparatory coating for various water-based Nitoproof membranes, specifically recommended before application of:
- Nitoproof 310
- Nitoproof 410
- Nitoproof 810
- Nitoproof Top Coat UV
Only water-based systems should be applied over Nitoprime 120; solvent-based finishes are not suitable.
Surface Preparation Requirements
Before applying Nitoprime 120, surfaces must be:
- Clean and sound
- Stable and free of movement
- Free from loose foreign material
- Free from existing coatings
- Free from laitance, release agents, and curing compounds
- Free from oil and grease residues
The product should be lightly stirred before use.
Cleaning and Removal
During application: While in wet state, Nitoprime 120 will clean up with water.
After drying: Once dried, the product requires removal by either Fosroc Solvent 10 or mechanical means.
Storage Conditions
Nitoprime 120 should be stored in:
- Original unopened containers
- Cool, dry conditions
- Temperature range between 5°C and 30°C
- Storage above 30°C may reduce storage life
Important Application Considerations
A critical limitation to note is that surface temperature conditions must be considered before application, rather than relying solely on ambient temperatures. Substrate temperature can differ significantly from ambient conditions, affecting application success and product performance.
