F-41 SLQ Clear UV Resistant 100% Solids Epoxy Slurry Terrazzo
F-41 SLT
Product Overview
F-41 SLT consist of our clear, UV resistant epoxy, Slurry Aggregate (PN 1360), Terrazzo Chip blends (PN 1441) and a 4 ounce color pack (PN 1340), to create a 1/8″ epoxy Terrazzo floor finish. This mixture allows the installer to create an unlimited blend of colors, textures and finishes. 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
F-41 SLT is primarily used as a replacement for costly terrazzo finishes. It provides the aesthetics of terrazzo at a fraction of the time and cost. It can be installed over a variety of substrates to form intricate shapes and forms using our T- Tape to separate color blends. With the appropriate conditions and a skilled installer it can be installed in 2-3 days after preparation.
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.03732 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. If unsure as to the level of preparation needed, contact Polymer Nation at lab@polymernation.com.

| Description | Results | Notes |
| Number of mixes per kit | 1 | A 1 mix kit consists of 2 gal A, 1 gal B, 1-50 LB. bag of PN 1360, 1-10 LB. bag of PN 1441 and 1 bag of PN 1340. |
| Number of Components | 5 | |
| Mix Ratio Liquids by Volume | 2:1 | It is always preferred to mix the entire kit, whenever possible, to avoid off-ratio mixtures |
| Ideal Application Temperatures | 60F-90F | Verify that substrate temperature is above 5 degrees of dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential amine blush |
| Mixed Viscosity in cP@25C/77F | 600-700 | Warmer temperatures will reduce viscosity and lower temperatures will increase viscosity |
| Gel Time | 60 min. | Warmer temperatures will decrease gel time and lower temperatures will increase gel time |
| Dry to Touch | 5-6 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Through Dry | 10-12 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Dry to Walk | 15 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Dry to Lightly Use | 24 Hours | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Full Cure | 7 Days | Warmer temperatures will reduce time and colder temperatures will increase time |
| Shore Hardness at 24 hours | D65 | Warmer temperatures will increase hardness |
| Shore Hardness at 7 days | D78 | Warmer temperatures will shorten time to reach full hardness |
| Gloss @ 60 Degree Angle | 90+ | Not top coated. See Gloss data for selected top coat if required |
| VOC’s of Mixed Material | <50g/L | EPA Method 24 |
| Color Scale per ASTM D1500 | .5-1.0 | Clear to slightly amber |
| Solids by Volume Mixed | 100% | |
| Storage | 60F-90F | Store material between 60-90 degrees F in a protected dry location. |
| Odor | Subtle | |
| Coverage Per Mix | Each mix will cover 66 sq. ft. at 1/8″ theoretical coverage. A waste factor of 10-15% should be contemplated | |
| Disposal | Dispose of material, containers, solvents, etc.per Federal, State and local guideline, rules and laws | |
| Available Colors | System color is generated by the combination of colorant and chip selections. | |
| Mixing & Installation | A mixture consists of 2 gal A, 1 gal B, 50 LB. of C (PN 1360), 10 LB. of PN 1441 and 1 bag of 1340. Combine colorant (PN 1340) with part A and B into a single container, large enough to accept the entire kit (1 mix equals 6.5 gallons when Part C is added). Premix liquids at 350 RPM for 1 minutes. Pour Part C (PN 1360) and PN 1441 into the mixed resin and continue mixing until a homogenous slurry is achieved (2-3 minutes usually), making sure not to introduce excessive air into the solution. Pour material on to floor and spread to desired thickness using a screed rake or notched squeegee. Once material has leveled, back roll with a spiked roller to aid in the release of trapped air. Whenever possible, work the shorter distance not the longer as this will help keep a fresh edge and make for easier blending. Temperature should be descending , not ascending during application and cure of slurry. This is critical whenever a broadcast will not be cast into the wet slurry. Recoat within 24 hours. Clean tools with a solvent similar to Xylene or Acetone. | |
