Description
Cicol ET Screed is a four component system based upon
solvent free, coal tar modified epoxy resins, amine curing
agents, chemically inert, graded silica fillers and a specially
selected silica aggregate of high crushing strength. The
components of Cicol ET Screed are supplied in pre-weighed
quantities ready to use on site.

Cicol ET Screed can be applied to a variety of substrates.
As with all flooring materials or protective coatings. Correct
surface preparation is essential.
Concrete substrates
Cicol ET Screed is applied to clean, sound, dry concrete
substrates which are free of any laitence, or loose particles.
Mechanical scarifying or blasting methods are strongly
recommended. Prepared concrete substrates should be

ET Screed is applied on to the primer whilst it is still wet.
Asphalt substrates
Cicol ET Screed can be applied onto asphalt substrates
provided they are clean, sound and dry. It is also
recommended that asphalt should be at least 12 months
old. The asphalt should be lightly grit blasted and/or
thoroughly degreased to remove any weakly bonded or
contaminated material to provide the desired surface. No
primer is required on asphalt.
Wooden substrates
Cicol ET Screed can be applied directly on to clean, dry
timber substrates.
