NEW CONSTRUCTION

Product: NMD 80

The general problems associated with limestone in new construction clean-up have all been solved just by the use of NMD 80 . Mortar smears, clay stains, rust, tannic acid stains and biological stains are all generally removed easily by the “80”.( SafeRestore quickly removes any subsequent discoloration that occurs because of bad water or minerals in the limestone.)

Application: We recommend a complete but lightweight prewetting of the stone followed by a spray on application of NMD 80.

Dilution: We have exposed historic register limestone buildings to up to four repeat straight applications of NMD 80 with no detrimental effect, so dilution is not critical. Recommended dilution is between 4:1 to 7:1 depending how much mortar smear is on the stone.

Removal: Care should be taken to apply the product on the surface evenly and rinse evenly. Nozzle degree should not be less than 25 degrees and care should be taken to not get close enough to etch the surface with the pressure.

Safe On Glass And Anodized Aluminum

NMD80 is frequently used to clean new construction when the windows have already been installed. We have experienced no difficulty with the product affecting the glass or the anodized aluminum when used at normal brushless cleaning strength.

New Construction
 

NMD 80 was used repeatedly undiluted on limestone on the historical restoration of the Old Police Station in Columbus OH.(left) The stone had been severely bleached by a competitors product to remove rust from under the windows and the job had been halted until a safer way to clean the building could be found. Testing determined that NMD 80 would most quickly remove the bleaching when used undiluted and then rinsed with a pressure washer.

Specify NMD 80

Streak free, no etch: The beauty of specifying NMD 80 is that it is appropriate for all surfaces and when used as directed is completely safe. This product has been used on sensitive problematic jobs all over the country on every surface imaginable. It has always been able to clean the substrate, cause no problems, and leave pristine mortar joints and crisp masonry appearance. For new stone or masonry construction, after
good design, NMD 80 is the best way to get the finish you desire.
