Floorgard SLT consists of fillers bound in a pigmented epoxy resin binder. It is supplied as a four-component system (base, hardener, colour pack & filler), pre-weighed for on-site mixing. When laid, it provides a smooth, durable surface. It is available in a wide range of standard colours, and non-slip finishes.
USES & ADVANTAGES
Floorgard SLT is designed for use in a wide range of 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 clean rooms, laboratories, plant rooms and light industrial plants.
Advantages include:
• Suitable for use in food preparation areas.
• Non toxic.
• Suitable for coating in contact with potable water.
• Applied from 1 - 4 mm thickness.
• High flow characteristics combined with an attractive self smoothing finish.
• Fast application - minimizes downtime.
• Chemically resistant - good resistance to a wide range of 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.
• Available with fast cure hardener for low temperature application or for where early service of the floor is required.
• Solvent free-non taint.

SPECIFICATION CLAUSES
Flow-applied epoxy floor topping The designated floor areas shall be surfaced with Floorgard SLT a 1-4 mm thick flow-applied epoxy resin floor topping. The topping shall achieve a compressive strength of 65 N/mm² and a flexural strength of 50 N/mm² at 7 days when tested to BS 6319 at 23oC, it shall be capable of accepting foot traffic at 24 hours and vehicular traffic at 48 hours.
LIMITATIONS
Floorgard SLT should not be applied on to surfaces known to or likely to suffer from rising damp conditions or have a relative humidity greater than 75%. Floorgard SLT is not a “floor leveling” product and will follow the contours of the sub-floor. If the floor requires levelling, consult Cormix International Limited for further advice. In certain conditions a light oily film may appear on the surface of the floor during curing. This may be removed easily after curing for a minimum of 48 hours by washing with a mild detergent floor cleaner and water.
Floorgar SLT does not produce a mirror finish. Some imperfectionsin the finish are always present.on the end flooring project being seamless and hygienic. Floorgard SLT is designed as a rapid installation, seamless floor. Some floor areas, especially the darker coloured Floorgard SLT, may show slight ‘dimpling’. This is common and should be expected. It has no effect
In areas where significant thermal shock is likely to occur, consult Cormix International Limited. Floorgard SLT should not be applied to asphalt, weak or friable concrete, unmodified sand cement screeds, PVC tiles or sheet or substrates known to move substantially e.g. steel walkways. For information on other substrates, consult Cormix International Limited Floorgard SLT should not be installed at temperatures below 10oC.
Floorgard SLT, Floorgard 903 and Cormix Cleanes should not come in contact with the skin and eyes, or be swallowed. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid inhalation of vapours. Some people are sensitive to resins, hardeners and solvents. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection. If working in confined areas, suitable respiratory protective equipment must be used. The use of barrier creams provide additional skin protection. If poisoning occurs, contact a Doctor. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting-give a glass of water. If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor. If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly. If any adverse reaction to contact with these or any industrial chemicals, patient should be transported immediately to a doctor or hospital.
Fire:
Floorgard SLT and Floorgard 903 are non-flammable. Cormix Cleaner is flammable. Keep away from sources of ignition. No smoking. In the event of fire, extinguish with CO2 or foam. Do not use a water jet.
DISPOSAL
Spillages of component products should be absorbed onto earth, sand or other inert material and transferred to a suitable vessel. If possible, add the other component & mix and allow to cure. Disposal of such spillages or empty packaging should be in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.
