Information | Applications | Specifications | Downloads | FAQs
Fortis Coat 824 SL is a 100% solids, solvent-free two-component self-levelling epoxy flooring system designed to produce a seamless, high-build finish over properly prepared and primed concrete.
The self-levelling formulation provides a smooth, durable surface for industrial and commercial floors including factories, warehouses, workshops, manufacturing facilities, retail environments and selected residential applications. It is particularly suited where greater film build and surface levelling are required than can be achieved with conventional roll-applied epoxy coatings.
Coat 824 SL Clear is specifically suited to decorative metallic epoxy flooring systems. Its clear, high-build finish enhances metallic pigments and decorative effects, creating the depth, movement and seamless appearance associated with premium metallic epoxy floors.
For thicker repairs and epoxy mortar applications, Coat 824 SL can be combined with graded quartz aggregate to produce a three-component system. This allows damaged or uneven concrete to be repaired and levelled before completion of the flooring system.
Coat 824 SL should be applied over a suitable Fortis epoxy primer. Decorative flake, metallic pigments or non-slip aggregate can be incorporated where required to create decorative or textured flooring systems. Where moisture transmission or rising damp is present, use a suitable HydroFort™ epoxy vapour barrier before applying the flooring system.
Correct mechanical surface preparation, priming and application thickness are essential for reliable adhesion and long-term flooring performance.
100% Solids Two-Component Solvent-Free Epoxy
Typical Applications
Fortis Coat 824 SL is designed for high-build epoxy flooring in factories, warehouses, workshops, manufacturing facilities, commercial floors, retail areas and selected residential applications. Coat 824 SL Clear is also suitable for decorative metallic epoxy flooring.
Application
Coat 824 SL should be applied over properly prepared concrete primed with a suitable Fortis epoxy primer. Apply within the recommended primer recoat window.
Combine Components A and B in the specified mixing ratio and mix for approximately 3 minutes using a low-speed mechanical mixer at approximately 300 rpm. Ensure material from the sides and bottom of the container is thoroughly incorporated.
For self-levelling applications, pour the mixed material onto the floor and distribute evenly using a suitable notched trowel or gauge rake. Pass a spiked roller through the wet coating to release entrapped air and assist levelling.
For slip-resistant systems, broadcast suitable graded quartz aggregate into the wet coating. Once cured, remove loose aggregate before applying the required seal or finish coat.
For epoxy mortar applications, graded quartz aggregate may be added to the mixed resin and hardener in accordance with the current Technical Data Sheet.
Suitable Surfaces
Suitable for mechanically prepared concrete and compatible cementitious substrates that are sound, dry and capable of supporting the flooring system.
Concrete must be free from dust, laitance, loose material, oil, grease, curing compounds and other contaminants that may affect adhesion. Diamond grinding or other suitable mechanical preparation is recommended to provide a clean, open and appropriately profiled surface.
After preparation, thoroughly vacuum the surface before applying the specified Fortis epoxy primer.
Cracks, holes and surface defects should be repaired before application of the self-levelling flooring system. Where moisture transmission or rising damp is suspected, investigate the substrate before coating and consider an appropriate Fortis vapour-barrier system.
