PRIMER AND BONDING AGENT
SLP - 11 is water based emulsion primer. It should be diluted with water, to prepare internal surfaces to receive cement-based levelling compounds, screeds as well as plaster -based materials, improving adhesion and inhibiting penetration of water. It is used as a pore sealer on floor surfaces to prevent air bubbles rising through subsequently applied sub-floor smoothing and levelling compounds and to prolong their flow life and workability.
FEATURES
• Good adhesion to the porous surface
• Easy to apply
• Seals the substrates
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
The concrete or screed substrate 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 - 11. 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
Shake container well before use. Dilute as required.
APPLICATION
Apply the diluted primer evenly, using a brush or broom, over the sound, clean and dust-free surface and leave to dry to a clear thin film.
Use SLP - 11 diluted 1 : 3 by volume with water for:
- priming and as a bonding agent on absorbent cement/sand screeds prior to applying CLI sub-floor smoothing compounds.
- a bonding agent on smooth concrete walls prior to applying plaster-based compounds.
- reducing dusting of internal cement screeds or on sub-floor smoothing compounds which may have to be unavoidably left exposed to foot traffic, etc., for a limited period.
Use SLP - 11 diluted 1 : 2 by volume with water for:
- priming and as a bonding agent on power floated concrete prior to applying CLI sub-floor smoothing and levelling compounds.
Use SLP - 11 diluted 1 : 1 by volume with water for:
- priming and sealing pores on rough concrete floors to prevent air bubbles rising through the sub-floor smoothing compounds.
- mixing with CLI A 35 powder as a slurry to bond an CLI A 35 cement and sand screed.
- priming traces of sound adhesive residues on absorbent sub-floors.
SLP - 11, diluted with an equal volume of water, may be used as an admix with cement/sand as a slurry on a concrete floor as a bonding agent for a screed. The screed is laid before the slurry has dried.
CLEANING
Mixing and application tools should be cleaned with water immediately after use before the primer dries. Wash off Sfrom skin before drying takes place. Avoid prolonged contact with the skin.
COVERAGE ESTIMATES
Pack size
Coverage
5 kg
5kg of SLP - 11 :
- When diluted with 3 volumes of water is sufficient for priming approximately 100 m²
- When diluted with 2 volumes of water is sufficient for priming approximately 60 m²
- When diluted with an equal volumes of water is sufficient for priming approximately 35 m²
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 - 11 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
Aqueous synthetic based dispersion. Wash off from skin before drying takes place. Any material splashed into the eye, mouth or nose should be washed away immediately with clean water. Avoid ingestion. Non-toxic and small amounts are unlikely to cause more than temporary discomfort. If large amounts are swallowed, seek medical advice.
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.
