DESCRIPTION

FAIRSCREED SL has been designed to provide a hard wearing, impervious, seamless floor finish which is hygienic and easy to clean. FAIRSCREED SL, with its combination of attractive finish and excellent resistance to many chemicals, is suitable for a wide range of light industrial environments. FAIRSCREED SL is typically applied at thicknesses of between 2 and 3mm. FAIRSCREED SL is supplied as a three pack product, consisting of BASE component, HARDNER component and graded Aggregate component, all preweighed and ready for mixing.

TYPICAL USES
Suitable for use in laboratories, pharmaceutical plants, hospitals, food preparation areas electronics assembly factories, etc.

TYPICAL PROPERTIES

Colours : Grey, red, green, blue (Special shade on request) ; Pot Life : 40 minutes @ 30⁰C ;Compressive Strength : 60N/mm² ; Flexural Strength : 34N/mm² ; Chemical Resistance : Excellent resistance to a wide range of industrial chemicals, including 20% hydrochloric acid, 10% sulphuric acid, 20% sodium hydroxide, petrol, 5% lactic acid, Bleach. Specific advice will be provided by our Technical Section.

PROCEDURE

1) SURFACE PREPARATION : All surfaces to be treated should be sound, clean, and free from dust, dirt, latence, oil and other contaminants. All laitance must be removed by vacuum grit blasting, ensuring that any residual dust is removed. New concrete surfaces should be a minimum of 21 days old and/or have a residual moisture content below 6%.
2) PRIMING : Prime the prepared surfaces using SAFECORE WB PRIMER applying the material at a nominal rate of 5 m²/Kg. Allow the primer to cure overnight.
NOTE : If the surface is exceptionally porous it may be necessary to 'double prime'.
3) Mixing : FAIRSCREED SL is supplied as a three component product, each component being pre-weighed ready for use. The contents of the HARDNER container should be drained into the Base component and the two materials thoroughly mixed. The mixed liquid should then be poured into a forced action mixer, e.g. Mix all, Pennine, or Cretangle, and the Aggregate component slowly added under constant mixing until a uniform consistency has been achieved.
4) Application : Apply the mixed FAIRSCREED SL by serrated trowel or screed box. Within 20 minutes, spike roller the FAIRSCREED SL in order to remove micro airbubbles. To make more good looking and reduce scratching use of 'FAIRSCREED FLAKES' is recommended. Various colours of FAIRSCREED FLAKES, FAIRSCREED SEALER is recommended.
5) Equipment Cleaning : Clean all equipment, immediately after use, with SAFECORE TOOLCLEAN.
6) Curing : Allow a minimum cure time of 24 hours @ 30⁰C prior to light foot traffic, 48 hours cure @ 30⁰C prior to full vehicular access, and 7 days cure @ 30⁰C prior to exposure to chemicals.
NOTE : At higher temperatures the above cure times will be reduced, at lower temperatures they will be increased.
7) Limitations : Do not apply to wet or uncured concrete surfaces. Do not apply at temperatures below 3⁰C.
