Cicol ET Slurry*

Heavy duty, lightweight, anti-skid surface


dressing
Uses

Design criteria

Cicol ET Slurry provides a lightweight, yet extremely hard


wearing anti-skid surface to a variety of substrates including
steel, concrete, asphalt and timber.

The thickness of the Cicol ET Slurry is varied to suit traffic


conditions as shown in the table below.

Ideally suited for foot and road bridges, RO/RO linkspans,


helicopter decks, work platforms, ships decks, car parks,
walkways, wet work industrial areas and cargo handling areas,
etc.

The final thickness of the finished surface dressing will be

For Specialised uses other than the aforesaid uses, a
4.5 mm thick coating of Cicol ET Slurry with 3 - 5mm aggregate
can be used to give a nominal thickness of 8mm.
Cicol ET Slurry HB* is recommended on ramps with a slope
greater than 5C.

Description

Cicol ET Slurry is a three component system based upon


solvent free, coal tar modified epoxy resins, amine curing
agents and chemically inert, graded silica fillers which when
mixed forms a fluid, homogeneous slurry.

Cicol ET Slurry

Specially selected Dynagrip aggregates are broadcast onto


this slurry whilst it is still wet to provide a lightweight, flexible,
durable, anti-skid dressing which can be used on a variety of
substrates including steel, concrete, timber and aluminium.

Fully cured Cicol ET Slurry has been shown to be resistant to


the following chemicals after continuous immersion for 12
months at 20C:
Chemical resistance

Petrol
Kerosene
Hydraulic fluids,
Dilute mineral acids and alkalis
10% Urea in water
De-icing salts
Diesel
Aircraft fuel

Instructions for use

Mixing

Preparation

Mix the base and hardener thoroughly using a slow speed


drill and Fosroc Mixing Paddle (MR3), or forced action mixers
such as creteangle or zyklos. Add the mineral fillers and mix
until a homogeneous slurry consistency is formed. The total
mixing operation should take about 5-7 minutes. The
Cicol ET Slurry is now ready for use. Do not add thinners or
solvent.

Cicol ET Slurry can be applied to a variety of substrates. As


with all flooring materials or protective coatings, correct
surface preparation is essential.
Steel substrates
Cicol ET Slurry is specially formulated to exhibit excellent
adhesion to un-primed steel. However, all steel substrates
should be blast cleaned to a minimum Sa21/2 standard of
cleanliness. An angular profile amplitude of at least 75 microns
is recommended.
The slurry should be applied as quickly as possible to the
blasted steel surface. If the standard of the surface falls below
Sa21/2 then the steel must be reblasted.
Concrete substrates
Cicol ET Slurry is applied to clean, sound, dry concrete
substrates which are free of any laitance or loose particles.
Mechanical scarifying or blasting methods are strongly
recommended.
Prepared concrete substrates should be primed with
Nitoprime 25 which is applied by lambswool roller to provide
a thin even coverage. Avoid over application and puddles.
Cicol ET Slurry is applied onto the Nitoprime 25 as soon as it
is free from surface tack.
Asphalt substrates

Application
Once mixed the Cicol ET Slurry must be used within the
specified pot life.
Pour the slurry onto the prepared surface. Work in lanes of
2-3 m wide masking off edges with tape. Spread the slurry
using a steel trowel or squeegee taking particular care when
joining up to the previous day's work.
Use of a wet film gauge is recommended to ensure the correct
thickness and material usage. The Dynagrip surface dressing
aggregate must be applied immediately after laying the
Cicol ET Slurry.
The slurry coating is blinded to saturation by allowing the
aggregate to fall vertically until no slurry is visible. Do not
throw aggregate across the slurry as this may cause ridges.
Masking tape must be removed before the coating has cured.
The Cicol ET Slurry must be allowed to cure for 24 hours at
20C before being subject to foot traffic. At lower temperatures
this period will be increased.

Cicol ET Slurry can be applied onto asphalt substrates


providing they are clean, sound and dry. It is also
recommended that the asphalt should be at least 12 months
old.

Cleaning

Asphalt should be lightly grit blasted to remove any weakly


bonded or contaminated material to provide the desired
surface. No primer is required on asphalt.

Limitations

All tools can be cleaned immediately after use with Fosroc


Solvent 102.

Cicol ET Slurry should not be applied when the relative


humidity is greater than 80% or the ambient temperature
is expected to fall below 5C.

Cicol ET Slurry should not be applied on ramps with a slope


greater than 5%.

Wooden substrates
Cicol ET Slurry can be applied directly onto clean, dry timber
substrates.
Aluminium substrates

Technical support

Must be sweep blasted and degreased if necessary using


Fosroc Solvent 102* to provide a sound mechanical key.
Cicol ET Slurry can be applied directly to the prepared
substrate.

Fosroc offers a comprehensive range of high performance,


high quality flooring, jointing and repair products for both new

Coverage figures given are theoretical - due to


wastage factors and the variety and nature of
possible substrates, practical coverage figures will
be reduced - site trials are recommended.
For specialised uses, please contact the local
Fosroc office for coverage figures.

Some people are sensitive to resins, hardeners and solvents.


Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection.
If working in confined areas, suitable respiratory protective
equipment must be used.
The use of barrier creams provide additional skin protection.
In case of contact with skin, rinse with plenty of clean water,
then cleanse with soap and water. Do not use solvent.
In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of
clean water and seek medical advise. If swallowed, seek
medical attention immediately - do not induce vomiting.
Fire
Fosroc Solvent 102 is flammable. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Do not use near naked flame. Do not smoke.

Storage

Shelf life
All products have a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry
store in the original, unopened packs.
Storage conditions
Store in dry conditions between 5C and 30C away from
sources of heat and naked flames, in the original, unopened
