Features & Benefits

• Ease of application
• Easy to clean
• Water-based and non-tainting
• Seamless
• High abrasion and impact resistance
• Designed for use in a wide range of medium to heavy duty industrial environments where a lasting solution to floor maintenance is required
• High order of chemical, abrasion and physical performance making it ideal for food and beverage production, dairy processing, pharmaceutical and engineering process areas

Application Notes

• The base should be a minimum of Grade RC30 of BS 8500-2: 2002 and should not contain a water repellent admixture. The surface strength when assessed using a rebound hammer should be above 25 or the surface tensile strength should exceed 1.5 MPa
• For concrete bases in contact with the ground, a damp proof membrane should have been incorporated into the slab design, in accordance with the requirements of CP102 (Code Of Practice For The Protection Of Buildings Against Water From The Ground)
• In existing buildings without a functioning damp-proof membrane, the application of a surface-applied membrane should be considered
• Nitoflor SL3000 U should be applied as a primer/scratch coat at a coverage rate of up to a nominal 1 mm thickness
• The scratch coat should be allowed to cure for 12 - 48 hours at 20ºC before applying the Nitoflor SL3000 U. If the scratch coat has been allowed to cure for >48 hours then the coat must be thoroughly abraded and a fresh layer of scratch coat applied
• A forced-action rotary paddle mixer is recommended for mixing the product
• Immediately discharge and spread the mix over the application area with a notched trowel to the required coverage rate, level with a steel float and de-aerate using a spiked roller, rolling only into the previously applied adjacent area. Spike rolling should be carried out within 3 minutes of application in order to avoid interfering with flow and surface finish
• The finished floor should be protected from other trades using Kraft paper or similar breathable material. Polythene should not be used. Protect the installed floor from damp, condensation and water for at least 4 days

Limitations

• Do not proceed with application if atmospheric relative humidity is, or is anticipated to be within the tack-free period, >90% or if the surface temperature is <3ºC above the dew point. Application should not commence when the substrate temperature or the ambient temperature is, or is anticipated to be, <10ºC during the application or within the tack-free period. The design strength of concrete surfaces must be a minimum of 25MPa compressive strength at 28 days
• The manufacture of Fosroc Nitoflor SL3000 U is a batch process and despite close manufacturing tolerances, colour variation may occur between batches
• Slip resistance can reduce over time due to poor maintenance, general wear or surface contaminants. Nitoflor SL3000 U has a smooth finish so can be expected to become slippery when wet. Good housekeeping practices must be observed
• Application can take place outside the ideal temperature range of 15 - 25ºC, subject to a minimum of 10ºC and a maximum of 32ºC, however the surface finish may be subject to e.g. trowel and/or spike roller marks
• Fosroc Nitoflor SL3000 U is not colour fast and may yellow over time. The rate of change will depend on UV light and heat levels and cannot be predicted. This will be more pronounced with lighter colours and blue shades and does not compromise the product’s in service performance or chemical resistance characteristics
