Hychem SL50 — Impact resistant self-levelling epoxy topping

• Concrete substrate shall be firm, clean and dry with a compressive strength of 25 MPa and surface tensile strength of 1.5 MPa minimum.
• New concrete must be allowed to cure for a minimum of 28 days.
• Repair imperfections (holes and cracks) with an epoxy patching compound such as Hychem GP where necessary.
• Remove surface laitance, contaminants, coating, curing compound and all weak and loose materials.
• Prepare concrete surface by Diamond Grinding, Scarifying or Captive Shot Blasting to provide the appropriate surface profile for optimum mechanical keying.

• The prepared surface must be primed with Hychem GP at a rate of 4 to 6 sqm/litre to ensure that no air holes remain. Highly porous surface should be doubled primed.
• Allow Hychem GP to cure for 12 to 16 hours but not more than 24 hours otherwise re-priming will be required.

• Mix Hychem SL50 liquid components (Resin & Hardener ) together using a helical mixer at a speed of 500 rpm until the mix becomes homogeneous (2 to 3 minutes should be sufficient)
• Product must be mixed slowly to avoid aerating.

• Pour the wet mix on the floor. Spread over the floor area using a pin rake or notched trowel set at a pre-determined thickness.
• Ensure to maintain continuity of wet material between pours.
• Roll the surface with a spike roller to remove entrapped air.
• Allow to cure for 24 hours before exposing to foot traffic.

Xylene can be used for cleaning tools and equipment before the mixed compound begins to harden.

8 litre kit will cover 4 sqm @ 2mm thick.

12 months from date of manufacture, stored under shelter at 25ºC in original un-opened container.
