Xpert Epoxy Sl-1

XPERT EPOXY SL-1 is a three-component, solvent-free, self-smoothing, epoxy flooring system. It is a heavy-duty floor system made from epoxy resins, hardeners, and specially selected filler material to create a self-smoothing topping for concrete. This product provides a glossy, seamless finish and is applied at a thickness of 1-3mm. XPERT EPOXY SL-1 is designed for application on prepared and primed concrete surfaces in heavy-duty industrial environments.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTION:
Preparation: All contact surfaces must be free of oil, grease, or other contamination that could inhibit bonding. Loose concrete should be removed and repaired to provide a solid foundation. Any previously applied coating should be removed using grit blasting, milling, or grinding. Surface aggregate must be exposed, and any repairs should be completed before application using XPERT's cementitious or Epoxy repair system. Prime the surface with XPERT EPOPRIME-10 to fill surface porosity. Fill any holes or large depressions with XPERT EPOXY SL-1 scratch coat to minimize surface defects. New concrete should be 28 days old or have a moisture content of less than 5% before laying XPERT EPOXY SL-1.
DOSAGE
XPERT Epoxy SL-1 is supplied in pre-weighed 12 kg kits. Each kit comprises: Part A (BASE): 4.8 KG Part B (ACTIVATOR): 1.2 KG Part C (FILLER): 6 KG Material Consumption / Coverage: 3.25 kg/m² at 2mm thickness. This estimated coverage is calculated from the volume solids of the material and assumes application onto a perfectly smooth surface without wastage. For practical coverage rates, allowances should be made for atmospheric conditions, surface roughness, geometry of the item being coated, applicator skill, and application method when estimating quantities.
APPLICATION
Apply XPERT EPOXY SL-1 using a notched trowel and spread to the required thickness in an even pattern over the floor. Immediately after laying, roll the material with a spiked roller to remove trowel marks and assist with entrapped air release. Rolling should be done several times before the material's initial set. Always roll in the same direction during any pass over the floor. The applicator should wear spiked shoes when walking on the material. Rolling should cease before the material begins to gel. XPERT EPOXY SL-1 may show slight surface imperfections like dimpling depending on site conditions, which are considered normal. These imperfections do not affect the wearing or seamless/hygienic properties of the floor but may be noticeable under certain lighting patterns.
PRECAUTIONS
For temperatures less than 5°C or greater than 35°C, contact XPERT's Technical Staff for specific advice. XPERT EPOXY SL-1 is non-toxic but is alkaline in nature. Protective gloves, goggles, and clothing should be worn. Repeated contact with epoxy resins and hardeners can cause sensitization in some individuals handling this type of product. If this occurs, seek medical advice before continuing use.

All reasonable care is taken in compiling this data sheet, but recommendations regarding use are made without guarantee as conditions of use are beyond the manufacturer's control.
ADVANTAGES
Seamless, hygienic, and dust-free environment. Durable and highly impact resistant. Resistant to spillage or splashes of mild chemicals. Easy application due to no solvent smell. Excellent adhesion. Environmentally friendly and non-toxic, making it suitable for use in the food industry. Requires low maintenance. Available in various colors upon request.
MIXING
XPERT EPOXY SL-1 can be mixed using a slow-speed drill mixer (300-600 RPM). Add Part B (Activator) into Part A (Base) and mix for 1 to 2 minutes for thorough mixing. Slowly add Part C (Filler) while mixing until the mixture becomes homogenous. Mix for 3-5 minutes before use. Only mix the quantity of material (usually 1-2 SETs at a time) that can be used within the setting time.

CURING
XPERT EPOXY SL-1 is suitable for pedestrian traffic after 24 hours. Allow 7 days for full cure. Curing time may vary with low temperatures, as it increases the polymer reaction time, and vice versa.
CLEANING
Clean all equipment and tools with XPERT SOLVENT CLEANER immediately after use.
STORAGE
XPERT EPOXY SL-1 must be stored in a dry, frost-free area, out of direct sunlight, in its original sealed containers.
FIRST AID
Eyes: In case of accidental splashes, immediately flush eyes with warm water and seek medical advice. Skin: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or an approved industrial cleaner. Do not use solvents or thinners. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, loosen collar, and keep the patient rested. Ingestion: In case of accidental ingestion, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Obtain immediate medical attention. For further safety information, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
