Nitoflor ET Slurry

Formerly Fosroc® Cicol ET Slurry constructive solutions

Solvent free coal tar epoxy resin product
with mineral fillers

Uses

Nitoflor ET Slurry is used for making a flexible waterproof,

lightweight anti-skid wearing course on bridge decks,
platforms, loading jetties, airfield aprons, industrial floors and
other high traffic areas.

The product can also be applied as a waterproofing

membrane. e.g. under an asphalt layer on bridges and fly-
overs.

Advantages

Storage

Shelf life

All products have a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry store

below 35oC in the original, unopened containers.

Precautions

Health and safety

Nitoflor ET Slurry components should not come into contact

with skin and eyes or be swallowed.

Some people are sensitive to epoxy resins, hardeners and

solvents. Gloves, goggles and barrier creams, such as
Kerodex, Antisolvent or Rozalex Antipaint should therefore be
used. Ensure adequate ventilation.

If mixed resin comes into contact with skin, it must be removed

before it hardens with a resin removing cream such as
