F-11 SL Clear Epoxy Slurry

F-11 SL combines our clear, nonylphenol-free, epoxy resin, our blended cycloaliphatic curing agent and our Slurry Aggregate PN 1360 to create an easy-to-use slurry material. This mixture allows the installer to create a high-build, epoxy flooring system in a shorter amount of time than double broadcasting the floor. The cured material has high compressive strength (three times that of concrete), great impact resistance and a broad range of resistance to chemical attack. It is virtually odor-free.

Uses and Benefits

F-11 SL is primarily used as a fast-setting epoxy overlay to protect and/or repair concrete when sloping is not required. On solid concrete, the system is self-priming and with the appropriate conditions and a skilled installer it can be left as a high-build, single step flooring system. When conditions or skill do not allow a one step process, a broadcast of select aggregates and fillers can be used to help level the floor, release trapped air and add a decorative flair.

Limitations

Each mix of F-11 SL will cover 66 sq. ft. at 1/8" theoretical coverage. A waste factor of 10-15% should be contemplated when mixing and installing. Ideal application temperatures to be between 60-90°F. Cooler temperatures will increase cure times. Warmer temperatures will decrease working and cure times. Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush.

Preparation

The preparation method for each project is determined by a full understanding of the substrate to be coated, the chemistry of the coating system being used, the coating system thickness, and numerous other factors. The coating installer should fully read and understand ICRI Guideline NO. 310.2R-2013 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153 before starting preparatory work. The aim, of preparing a substrate for coating applications, is to roughen the surface, remove weak layers, contaminants, dirt, debris and present a solid, clean, dry substrate for the primer.
