MITCHFLOOR SLF is three packs, single-color, and solvent-free hygienic self-smoothing resin floor system. MITCHFLOOR SLF is designed to provide continuous protection for concrete floors between 1.0 – 4.0 mm thicknesses. MITCHFLOOR SLF comprises a colored resin, hardener system, and pre-packed blended aggregate. The cured MITCHFLOOR SLF produces a dense, colorful, and glossy surface.
MITCHFLOOR SLF may also be applied to glazed and terrazzo tiles, steel, and timber.
MITCHFLOOR SLF is ideal for dry process areas where the floor is subjected to medium to the heavy-duty trolley, pallet truck and rubber wheeled forklift traffic.
The smooth, ultra-dense and high gloss finish are ideal for situations requiring a hygienic, easily cleaned surface.

Concrete or screed substrate should be a minimum of 25 N/mm2 and above 10 oC, free from laitance, dust, and other contamination. The moisture content should be less than 5% and free from rising damp and groundwater pressure.
Floors to be coated or overlaid should be at least 28 days old. Expansion, control, and isolation joints in concrete substrates should be carried through epoxy floors and filled with a suitable sealant later on.
All residues must be removed to provide a dry, dust-free open textured surface.
Any appropriate method for dry grinding and dry cleaning of the substrate can be adopted at the site as preparations.
All kinds of substrates require at least one coat of MITCHEPO PRIMER. A porous substrate may require two coats.
Damaged areas/cracks in the substrate should be leveled with MITCHFLOOR EP (EPOXY SCREED). In the case of the development of cracks in the substrate, it may reflect through applied MITCHFLOOR SLF.
In hot areas MITCHFLOOR SLF, before mixing should be stored undercover in an air-conditioned environment and protected from extremes of temperature which may cause inconsistent workability, finish and cure times for the mixed material.
The A-component must be stirred for 2-3 minutes. Then the entire content of the B-component is emptied into the A- component. The two components are homogeneously mixed for at least 2-3 minutes using a suitable electric stirrer. The inclusion of air in the stirring process must be avoided. The mixture should be poured into another container and briefly stirred again. Add Component C in portions mixing well prior to each addition.
Always keep the mixing time the same for all batches, to ensure a uniform color when the product is applied.
A slow speed mixer must be used. Ensure that the mixing vanes are below the surface of the mix to minimize air entrapment. The stirrer mixing vane configuration should be such as not to introduce unwanted aeration. Also, for this type of mixing, transferring the base/activator combination to a new container i.e. “re-mixing” will eliminate contamination due to an unmixed base which is inclined to cling to the walls of the original container.
MITCHFLOOR SLF system supplied in pre-weighed packs which should not be split or divided. It is important to use complete packs.
Pour a bead of mixed MITCHFLOOR SLF in the form of a ribbon onto the primed and sealed surface. Do not leave material in the container too long because it will set faster thus reducing the work life.
Spread MITCHFLOOR SLF to the required thickness using a pin screed, notched trowel, or steel float. Apply as evenly as is possible, working from left to right, and then back.
Immediately after spreading & leveling, MITCHFLOOR SLF should be rolled with a spiked roller to remove air bubbles and trowel marks.
The applicator should always wear spiked shoes when using the spiked roller so that he can walk in the wet material. Rolling should stop before the MITCHFLOOR SLF begins to gel.
