WATER DISPERSED EPOXY PRIMER
SLP - 12 is a two-part water based synthetic dispersion primer and bonding agent. It is non-flammable and non-corrosive. SLP - 12 forms a priming/bonding layer on most substrates, particularly smooth or dense surfaces. For interior use only. SLP - 12 can be used as a primer and bonding agent prior to the application of the CLI range of cement-based products. Use SLP - 12 on power floated concrete, pre-cast concrete, terrazzo, glazed ceramic and quarry tiles. SLP - 12 can also be used to prime hard flooring grade asphalt, rigid metal, hard and sound paint thickness coatings, as well as traces of sound adhesive residues on dense impervious surfaces. SLP - 12 is also suitable for priming wood and wood-based panels prior to apply cement based products
FEATURES
• Excellent adhesion for smooth surface
• Easy to apply
• Suitable for wood surface
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Substrate to be treated with SLP - 12 must be hard, sound and free of dust and other barrier materials such as paint, lime coatings, plaster, curing agents, laitance, adhesive residues, etc., that will inhibit adhesion to the substrate.
All surfaces must be thoroughly mechanically prepared, cleaned and made good to ensure a good mechanical key and adhesion.
Use a suitable degreaser to remove polish, wax, grease, oil and similar contaminating substances prior to mechanical preparation. Contaminated concrete surfaces should be mechanically prepared, either by scabbling, grinding or contained shot blasting equipment or similar, and be vacuumed clean prior to applying SLP - 12. Overwatered or otherwise weak concrete surfaces must also be suitably prepared down to sound, solid concrete by mechanical methods. Dust and other debris should be removed using vacuum equipment.
NOTE : Any joints or cracks in the concrete base where differential movement is anticipated e.g. movement joints, should be brought through to the finished surface and suitably sealed. New concrete slabs must be allowed to cure for at least 14 days.
MIXING
SLP - 12 consists of two liquid components - one red and one white - which are mixed in the ratio of 1:1 by weight or volume to produce a pink primer. The mixed primer has a working time of approximately 1 hour, after this time any unused mixed primer must be discarded.
APPLICATION
Surfaces should be firm and free from dust, dirt and other barrier materials. Polish, wax. grease, etc.,should be removed using a suitable Degreaser. SLP - 12 must be applied in a thin even coat using a foam or short pile paint roller, paint brush, or squeegee, taking care to prevent the formation of puddles. On smooth impervious substrates application by squeegee will quickly and effectively give a very thin film.
Leave the coating of SLP - 12 to dry to a clear, tacky film - usually 3 to 6 hours with a paint roller or brush application, 1 to 3 hours with a squeegee, depending on substrate, temperature and ventilation. If in doubt leave overnight. Once dried, the primed surface is ready for overlaying however, if left for more than 4 days, a repeat application of the SLP - 12 will be necessary
CLEANING
Mixing and application tools should be cleaned with water immediately after use before the primer dries. Wash off from skin before drying takes place. Avoid prolonged contact with the skin.
COVERAGE ESTIMATES

Coverage
6kg
30 to 60 m² / 6kg unit
NOTE: These figures are theoretical, due to the wastages and the variety and nature of substrates practical coverage figures may be reduced.
STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE
SLP - 12 has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry, store in the original unopened containers. The product should be protected from frost, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
PRECAUTIONS
Contains epoxy resin and Aliphatic Polyamine. Irritating to eyes and skin. May cause sensitisation by skin contact. Avoid contact with the eyes. Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection. In case of contact with eyes rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice. After contact with the skin, wash off immediately with plenty of soap and water, then apply moisturising cream. Keep out of the reach of children.
DISPOSAL / SPILLAGE
Spillage of any of the component products should be absorbed onto sand or other inert materials and transferred to a suitable disposable vessel. Disposal of such spillage or empty packaging should be in accordance with local waste disposal authority regulations.
