Resincoat Self Levelling Compound

Resurface concrete flooring quickly and easily

Resincoat Self Leveling Compound is the perfect solution to repair uneven concrete surfaces. The formula is easy to mix and very workable with a simple pourable application which will harden quickly with a strong and reliable finish. If resurfacing a large area the product can also be pump applied to smooth and level sound and strong subfloors. The product is ideal for heavily trafficked area such as warehouses, factories as well as garage floors due to its high abrasive resistance. It can withstand heavy forklift traffic after as little as 36 hours.  The material is for internal use only and is ideal for over coating with epoxy resin where an attractive finish is required or over coated with epoxy anti slip paint where improved slip resistance is required. 

Abrasion resistance (to BS EN 13813:2002) - AR 0.5
Slip resistance (to BS 8204: Part 1: 2003) - PTV60 Dry / PTV 46 Wet
Impact hardness (BRE Screed Test) - 0.8mm (high impact resistance)

This product can be applied at depths between 5-15mm please see coverage rates below for a 25kg unit: 

Coverage rates are based on 5.5L of water addition and will vary according to condition of substrate.

Preparation:

Before applying the self levelling screed there are some critical steps you must follow to prepare your surface to ensure good adhesion. We always recommend you do the following:

1. The floor must be primed using an applicable epoxy primer. The primer you use will depend on your current floor condition, if using a damp tolerant or oil tolerant primer then 1 coat should be applied and left to cure before a second coat is applied. All other primers will require just 1 coat

2. Whilst the primer is still wet fully cover the area with an aggregate like our anti-slip additive in medium 

3. This is then left to cure (it creates a sandpaper like surface)

4. Once fully cured brush of any excess aggregate and address any glossy patches by applying some more primer and aggregate

5 Once fully covered in aggregate and cured, you can now begin applying the self levelling compound

Application:

Before you begin ensure the subfloor and surrounding air temperatures will not drop below 5 degrees during application and throughout the subsequent 7 day full cure. Light ventilation is recommended, particularly in enclosed areas. Resincoat Self Levelling Compound can be applied by hand mixing, be sure to mix with cold water to avoid reducing the product's working time

See below for the relevant quantities of water required based on the size screed you have:

25kg - 5.5L of water 

12.kg - 3L of water 

5kg - 1L of water 

2.5kg - 0.5L of water

1. Pour the correct amount of clean, cold water into an oversized bucket and gradually add the power whilst mixing continuously with a mixing paddle attached to an electric drill

2. Once you have added all of your powder, continue to mix for a further two minutes until a lump-free smooth material is attained

3. Pour the product directly on to your substrate using a smooth, steel trowel to spread to the desired application depth

4.  A spike roller may also be used whilst the product is still fluid to minimise air entrapment and give a fully uniformed finish

5. Leave to fully cure (cure time is 7 - 14 days)

*For industrial use consider a pump-screed method which will allow coverage of larger areas quickly producing a smooth, effective result.

Following application you must coat the area with Resincoat Damp Tolerant Primer after this your floor will be ready for application of any of the Resincoat Floor Paint range.
