Cicol NT Slurry constructive solutions

Environmentally friendly polyurethane resin

based abrasion resistant heavy duty skid
resistant surface dressing

Uses

Cicol NT Slurry produces an abrasion resistant, non-slip, Tensile strength, permanent strain after rupture and elastic
wearing course. The system may be applied to prepared modulus as function of temperature at a thickness of
concrete, steel or wooden substrates. Cicol NT Slurry resin is approximately 5 mm (In accordance to ASTM D 638, load

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.et 5-05

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.

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/m².
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 +20°C.
The Cicol NT Slurry is applied “wet-on-wet”, normally before
1 hour at +20°C.
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.

Traffic density Thickness Coverage per m
Light traffic 3.0 - 3.5 mm 5.4 - 6.3 kg
Medium traffic 3.5 - 4.0 mm 6.3 - 7.2 kg
Heavy traffic 4.0 - 4.75 mm 7.2 - 8.6 kg
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 +20°C) 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
+20°C 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.

Technical support

Fosroc A provides technical advisory service on-site

assistance and advise in the use of Cicol NT Slurry and
Nitoprime 31DK products.

Cleaning

Cicol NT Slurry should be removed from tools, equipment

and mixers with Seco Rensevæske immediately after use.
Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

Precautions

For further information see product safety data sheet.
