ASP-coatSL
ASP-coatSL is a pigmented, solvent-free, seamless system applied as a 2mm self-smoothing epoxy floor coating, designed to protect concrete substrates.
ASP-coatSL is best suited to coat floors in medium- to heavy-duty dry processing areas where a smooth, durable, chemical resistant floor finish is required.

Preparation and application
Substrate and preparation
Concrete substrates to be coated must be sound and exhibit a minimum compressive strength of 25N/mm² and a minimum of 1.5N/mm² tensile strength for the application of the proposed system. The profile and levels must be appropriate for the application of the proposed system, capable of bearing loads, free of cracks and voids, and free from laitance, dust and other contamination. The substrate must be dry to 75% relative humidity and free from rising damp, ground water, oil and other contamination. Should there be rising damp, ground water problems or impurities such as penetrated oils, etc., please refer to the ASP Technical Team for a suitable and appropriate substrate preparation guideline or solution. The substrate may be prepared by diamond grinding or shot blasting to remove laitance. Irregularities, small damages and cracks must be repaired with an epoxy filler.
Primer
Mix Base A and Hardener B with a low-speed drill fitted with a spiral mixing blade for approximately 3 minutes to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Ensure excessive air is not introduced while mixing. The mixed material must be applied within 15 minutes at 20ºC. Apply immediately after mixing with a short-haired white roller or double-lipped rubber squeegee, working the resin well into the substrate, permeating any surface irregularities. On porous substrates, apply further resin until the substrate is completely wetted out. Avoid any ponding of the primer.
Topcoat
Mix Base A and Hardener B together with a low-speed drill fitted with a spiral mixing blade for approximately 2 minutes. Add in the Filler C and mix for a further 3 minutes to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Ensure excessive air is not introduced while mixing. The mixed material must be applied within 15 - 20 minutes at 20ºC. Apply immediately after mixing with a 5mm precision coating rake. Allow to stand for approximately 10 minutes, then roll with a bubble buster/spike roller to release any trapped air. Optional non-slip and textured finishes are available. For more detailed information on substrate requirements and preparation, priming and application of the top coat, please refer to the product’s method statement.
Maintenance
Clean all spillages on ASP-coatSL immediately to maintain its appearance and lifespan. Clean the floor regularly with a rotary brush or mechanical scrubber and a suitable detergent. See how to clean and maintain a resin floor.
Health and safety
Applicators must use appropriate personal protective equipment. Dispose of used and empty packaging, solvents and washings in line with local environmental, health and safety by-laws. Refer to the product's material safety data sheet for detail.
For full substrate requirements, priming and application of the top coat, refer to the product's method statement or ask our technical team.

SubscribeQuestions about ASP-coatSL
What is ASP-coatSL?
ASP-coatSL is a pigmented, solvent-free, seamless system applied as a 2mm self-smoothing epoxy floor coating, designed to protect concrete substrates.
Where is ASP-coatSL used?
ASP-coatSL is best suited to coat floors in medium- to heavy-duty dry processing areas where a smooth, durable, chemical resistant floor finish is required. Typical applications include warehouse and distribution centres, chemical stores, clean rooms and laboratories, plant rooms and storage units, automotive repair and maintenance workshops and garages, hospitals, canteens and schools and printing plants.
How thick is ASP-coatSL?
ASP-coatSL is applied at 2.0 mm and is suited to medium to heavy duty areas.
How much area does a kit of ASP-coatSL cover?
The theoretical coverage is 2 litre/m² (0.5 m²/litre). A 24.5 litre kit covers 12.25 m². Actual coverage depends on the substrate and site conditions.
How long does ASP-coatSL take to cure?
At 20°C it takes light foot traffic after 16 hours, light traffic after 24 hours, heavy duty traffic after 48 hours and full chemical cure at 7 days. Once mixed, the working time is 15 – 20 minutes @ 20°C.
What colours is ASP-coatSL available in?
ASP-coatSL comes in Light Grey (RAL 7047), Grey (RAL 7004), Cream (RAL 1015), Yellow, Red (RAL 3011) and Black (RAL 9011). Non-standard colours (Light Blue, Green, Sand Yellow, Signal Red, Signal Yellow and White) are available at a premium, subject to a minimum order quantity.
What is the shelf life of ASP-coatSL?
12 months in unopened original packaging. Keep at an ambient temperature in dry, cold-free conditions.
