Cicol NT Slurry Environmentally friendly polyurethane resin based abrasion resistant heavy duty skid resistant surface dressing

Uses Cicol NT Slurry produces an abrasion resistant, non-slip, wearing course. The system may be applied to prepared concrete, steel or wooden substrates. Cicol NT Slurry resin is dressed with selected hard wearing aggregates. The thickness is 5 - 8 mm, depending on use and the type of dressing material selected which in turn provides the anti-skid properties. Applications include bridge decks, RO/RO link-spans, parking areas, garages, ramps, walkways and cycle paths. Advantages

Coaltar free - friendly to the environment.

Lightweight - important in design considerations.

Hardwearing.

Flexible - excellent flexural and tensile strengths.

Non-slip - even when wet.

Chemical resistant

Waterproof - provides a lightweight, chemically corrosion resistant and water impermeable wearing course.

amplitude of at least 100 micro-metre is required.The slurry must be applied immediately after blasting the steel. Timber The surface should be clean, dry and uncontaminated. Hardwoods may require abrasion in order to obtain a good mechanical key. Cicol NT Slurry is applied without the need of a primer.a sheet 5-05 Aluminium Surfaces should be either chemically or mechanically prepared to obtain a surface profile and mechanical key. Cicol NT Slurry must be applied immediately to the dry, uncontaminated surface. Concrete The concrete shall be clean, dry and free of laitance. Mechanical cleaning or abrasive blasting is recommended. Remove oil and grease with suitable detergents, e.g. Fosroc Cleaner C, see separate data sheet. The prepared substrate should be primed with one even coat of Nitoprime 31DK at a rate of approx. 0.2 litre/m. Nitoprime 31DK is a solvent-free, 2-component primer. The primer must be mixed in below mentioned proportions by weight (12.5 liters packs): Mix ratio, A : B : 2 : 1, bw. Comp. A (base) : 9.06 kg Comp. B (hardener) : 4.53 kg The entire contents of the hardener can (Comp. B) should be poured into the base can (Comp. A) and the two materials mixed thoroughly for at least one minute. The use of a heavy- duty, slow-speed, flameproof or air driven drill fitted with a suitable mixing paddle is desirable. When mixed, the primer should be applied immediately with a stiff brush in a thin continuous film. Care should be taken to avoid over application or puddles. Pot life for Nitoprime 31DK : 25 minutes at +20C. The Cicol NT Slurry is applied wet-on-wet, normally before 1 hour at +20C. Mixing Cicol NT Slurry is supplied in pre-weighed units. Thorough mixing is essential, using a forced action mixer of suitable capacity (250 to 500 rpm). The following procedures should be adopted. Mix both resin base (Comp. A) and hardener (Comp. B) together until thoroughly blended. Add the filler slowly and continuously whilst still mixing, until a homogeneous

consistency. The mixing cycle will take approximately 5-7 minutes. Cicol NT Slurry is now ready for use. Under no circumstances can either thinners or solvents be added. Mix proportions by weight (50 kg packs): Mix ratio, A : B : C : 20.6 : 7.9 : 71.5, bw. Comp. A (resin) : 9.65 kg Comp. B (hardener) : 4.60 kg Komp.

Table 1. These thickness exclude the subsequent dressing of the surface with aggregate. The mixed Cicol NT Slurry must be applied within the pot life (30 minutes at +20C) of the material. It is recommended that 100 mm wide self adhesive tape is applied at the edges of the area to be treated. Pour the slurry onto the prepared surface. Apply in lanes of approximately 2-3 metre widths. The slurry is spread evenly over the area with a steel trowel or squeegee. Care must be taken to ensure that where the material is applied against existing Cicol NT Slurry, there is total contact, at a similar thickness. It is essential that a wet film thickness gauge be used to ensure an even thickness is achieved. The selected aggregate dressing, see Table 2, must be applied immediately after application of the slurry. The slurry has to be dressed until obliterated and no slurry is visible. The dressing is applied by methods that will ensure that it falls vertically down onto the slurry. If hand-thrown, there will be ridges created that cannot be remedied later. Before the slurry cures, remove the adhesive border tape. Cicol NT Slurry will be allowed to cure for least 16 hours at +20C before any heavy traffic is allowed on the surface. The period will be longer at lower curing temperatures. After curing, the excess aggregate may be removed. If dry, clean an uncontaminated, this excess aggregate may be re-used in further applications of the system.
