Flow applied, 3 mm thick epoxy resin based floor topping
Uses
Nitoflor SL3000 is designed for use in a wide range of light to medium industrial environments where a lasting solution to floor maintenance problems is required. It provides a dense,impervious, coloured and chemically resistant floor surface which is hygienic and easy to clean. Typical applications include:
- plant rooms
- clean rooms
- light industrial plants
- production areas
Advantages
- Fast application – minimises downtime.
- Chemically resistant – good resistance to a wide range of industrial chemicals.
- Durable – good abrasion resistance.
- Hygienic – provides a dense, impervious seamless floor surface which is easily cleaned.
- Attractive – available in a wide range of colours to enhance the working environment.
Description
Nitoflor SL3000 consists of graded aggregates bound in a pigmented epoxy resin binder. It is supplied as a four component system, pre-weighed for on-site mixing.
When laid it provides a smooth and light reflective surface. It is available in a range of standard colours.
Specification
Flow applied epoxy floor topping
The designated floor area shall be surfaced with Nitoflor SL3000, a 3 mm thick flow-applied epoxy resin floor topping.The topping shall achieve a compressive strength of 55 N/mm 2 , tensile strength of 15 N/mm 2 and flexural strength of 30 N/mm 2 at 7 days when tested to BS 6319. At 25 o C, the topping shall be capable of accepting foot traffic at 24 hour sand vehicular traffic at 48 hours.
Properties
The values given below are average figures achieved in laboratory tests. Actual values obtained on site may show minor variations from those quoted.
Chemical properties
Nitoflor SL3000 has excellent resistance at ambient temperatures to a wide range of industrial chemicals. Specific data is available on request.
Note that it is especially important that spillage is cleaned up quickly and not allowed to dry since much higher concentrations of chemicals may occur on evaporation.
Design criteria
Nitoflor SL3000 is designed for application at a nominal thickness of 3 mm.Substrates should be dry and not suffer, or be likely to suffer,from rising damp. If necessary, suitable damp-proof membranes should be installed to prevent this. Substrates should not have a relative humidity greater than 75% at the time of installation.
