Nitroset takes key safety and environmental concerns into consideration when manufacturing its solid propellant fastening system. Powered by nitrocell charges rather than traditional primer or gunpowder, Nitroset is able to cleanly drive nails into normal to hard aggregate concrete surfaces. Its lightweight and low-profile design makes it easy to handle and use in tight spaces. Operation is considerably quieter than explosive charges, making the Nitroset system ideal for occupied buildings.
Fasten to hard aggregate concrete with ease. Powered by Nitrocell charges, Nitroset is able to cleanly drive fasteners into hard aggregate concrete surfaces where traditional powder or primer fasteners fail. Existing buildings typically have older concrete aggregate that is too hard for other systems to penetrate or fractures easily. Nitroset has demonstrated up to a 97% success rate fastening in 9,000 to 12,000 PSI concrete.
A better solution for a greater number of projects. Nitroset incorporates the unique Triple Play versatility. Triple Play allows the Nitroset fastening tool to be used in a broad range of construction projects. From track pins to ceiling wires to metal lath, the Nitroset tool can handle them all. By avoiding the use of explosive charges, Nitroset fasteners can be used in airports and other security-sensitive locations. The nitrocell propellant utilized by Nitroset fasteners does not raise security alarms as would traditional powder loads. This advantage coupled with the tools quieter delivery system makes the Nitroset system ideal for high-security or occupied jobsites.
Precautions for the safety of workers and the environment. Nitroset is 100% lead free in compliance with OSHA and no-lead worksite requirements. The Nitroset system is classified as non-toxic and non-hazardous by the US Department of Transportation allowing for standard shipping of the fasteners. Users of the Nitroset fastening system are not required to be licensed as they would to use an explosive based system. Additionally, Nitroset charges are brass-free eliminating the cost of policing and cleaning for brass on the jobsite. The ease of use and minimal "kick" of the tool makes it easier for workers to complete the job in the most efficient manner possible.
A solid investment in time and money. Eliminating licensing expenses is just one example of the cost savings Nitroset can bring. Basic training is sufficient for safe use on the job and workers will find its design makes it a very time-efficient tool. Nitroset is not regulated as an explosive material, so contractors can easily purchase the system without paying additional shipping or storage fees such as the regulations that DOT requires for explosive systems. Since the Nitrocell charge is contained within each nail, there are no discarded cartridges - and consequently, no additional time and costs for tedious site cleanup.
