Floor Coat SL - Khodal Paints

Product Description

Khodal SL is a solvent-less epoxy floor coating for use in industrial and commercial
environments. It produces a smooth, self-leveling finish with several advantages:

• Good chemical resistance

• Good abrasion resistance

• Free of solvents

• High mechanical strength

• Easy & fast application

• Floor can be put in use quickly

• Durability

• Seamless

• Aesthetic: Available in several colours

• Provides a hygienic surface since easy to clean

Intended Uses

Khodal SL can be used where a durable and easy to clean floor surface is required. Some
typical applications include:

• Pharmaceutical industry

• Chemical industry

• Food processing industry

• Electronic Assembly

• Dairies / breweries

• Clean rooms

• Hospitals

• Laboratories

• Packaging industry

• Workshops

• Factory shop floors

• Kitchen

Surface Preparation:

As is the case with every coating scheme, the surface profile is of utmost importance. In
order to achieve optimum bonding between substrate and coating, it is necessary to apply
this product only on fully dry and neatly cleaned surfaces.
Precautionary measures for new concrete floors:
Newly aid concrete surfaces are; For the first month or so after pouring, “green” meaning
i.e. wet and alkaline. New concrete should be allowed to cure for 28 days prior to coating
because of the concerns over the effect of water on floor coating adhesion. Check the
moisture level (should be below 5%) prior to application.
Precautionary measures for old concrete floors:
Surface should be free from dust, grease, oil, laitance, loose material, old coatings etc. Generally cleaning with equivalent is enough to remove grease/oil. Smooth, aged concrete
may be etched with dilute hydrochloric acid for suitable roughness and better adhesion of
the epoxy flooring. In case of heavy oil & grease contamination, existing partial coating or
structurally unsound concrete layer has occurred or old coatings are present mechanical
cleaning is advisable.

Primer Application:

After ensuring that the surface is free from all adverse factors, apply KemOxy Concrete
Primer a modified two component solvent less epoxy resin-based primer.

Mix the entire content of the base and catalyst thoroughly and apply immediately to the surface by a notched trowel of the recommended teeth size and a spiked roller. brush or roller. Ensure proper penetration of the coating into the substrate with our kemoxy concrete primer. Allow the primer to set for 8 hours but not more than 16 hours prior to
application of subsequent coats. Longer curing will require abrading of primer for proper
adhesion.
Mix Khodal SL in the ratios given below by weight. It is advisable to use entire contents of each can to ensure accurate proportions and to enable estimation of consumption.

Add the parts in the sequence below, under continuous stirring by a very slow speed electric stirrer or jitty blade mixer fitted on an electric drill till the mixture is homogeneous. DO NOT
MIX BY HAND. Remove all material from each can. Scrape the sides of the container several
times to ensure complete mixing. Be careful to not introduce any air bubbles while mixing.

2 mm Thickness 2 1 5.8 0.20

Since the mix ratio is critical to the performance of the flooring system, it is advisable to mix
the entire contents of the Four parts as supplied.

Quantity to be mixed should be calculated beforehand based on the area to be covered and
coating thickness desired. One pack of Khodal SL (all 4 components) should cover an area as
indicated below for floor thickness desired. Actual coverage will depend on texture,
porosity, gradient (less than 5 degrees for SL systems) of the substrate.

Pour the mixed Khodal SL onto the surface as soon as possible (See pot life) and spread
using a serrated trowel. Immediately after the trowel application, a spiked roller should be
used to ensure a level homogenous surface free of voids and surface imperfections.
Do not overwork the material. Apply slowly to minimize bubbling. If bubbles appear, use a
porcupine roller to produce a bubble free film. Khodal SL is designed for use without
solvents, use of thinners is not recommended.
