RSL Resuflor LM (formerly known as Resucoat LM and Resuline) is ideal for demarcation lines, pedestrian direction, truck routing and road signage. It can be applied to a variety of surfaces with the right preparation, such as concrete, cement and even sand screeds.

Its fast-curing pedigree makes it great for industrial environments which don't wish to close for works, such as walkways, hospital corridors or food courts. Where footfall is high and inevitable, Resuflor LM will give your floor some clear instruction. 

Recommended Uses

• Pedestrian road signage
• Hospital floors
• Car and plane lines
• Walkways and demarcation
• Pharmaceutical labs

Preparation

New Concrete Floors: New concrete must be clean, sound, dry, and fully cured and surface laitance removed, preferably by vacuum enclosed shot blasting or mechanical grinding. A minimum strength of 25N/mm squared is required.

Existing Concrete Floors: Remove all dirt, oil, grease, old paint or any other surface contaminants by vacuum enclosed shot blasting, scarifying or mechanical grinding. Fats, oils or greases must be removed by mechanical means and detergent washing. Make sure all residue of detergent is washed and removed by rinsing with clean water.

Local repairs should be carried out using Resuflor Patch or Resuflor Screed.

Coated Surfaces: Prepare surface to ensure that there is an adequate mechanical key. Care should be taken to ensure compatibility between the existing surface and Resuflor LM.

Set out line markings as required, marking positions with tape or chalk as appropriate. Ensure that all surfaces are prepared before mixing and only mix materials as required.

Priming

Open and porous substrates may require priming with Resuflor WB, also Resuprime ST may be used as a primer on dry substrates, only with less than 75% ERH reading. Where the relative humidity of a substrate exceeds 75% ERH, Resuprime MVT should be specified and selected on the basis of hygrometer readings in accordance with BS 8203.

The number of coats to be applied is chosen in accordance with the following table:

ERH% Required Coating Thickness
75-85 - 1 coat of Resuprime MVT at 200 microns per coat
85-92 - 2 coats of Resuprime MVT at 200 microns per coat
92-97 - 3 coats of Resuprime MVT at 200 microns per coat

Application

The ambient temperatures of the areas should not be allowed to fall below 15°C throughout the application and the curing period, as this could have an adverse effect on the appearance and colour of the system. Surface temperature must be above 10°C. Where possible it is recommended that the application area is heated to a minimum temperature of 15°C ideally, to allow the ambient and substrate temperature to stabilise prior to installation.

Mixing: Pre-mix the coloured base component to a uniform consistency, then mix the entire contents of the base with the hardener. If a separate mixing bucket is being used, mix thoroughly ensuring all contents of both components are removed from the buckets supplied. Mix using a slow speed electric mixer for approximately two minutes or until the two components have fully combined.

Application methods should be selected based on the size and area to be covered, and the thickness of the line to be applied. Short or medium pile good quality rollers or brushes should be used, or straight edges such as trowels can be used if applying to tapes. Spread the material rapidly and then roll to finish. Remove tapes shortly after application, by pulling across the line. Do not hold bulk materials in a pot or scuttle, as this increases the rate of reaction reducing the working time. Ensure that rollers are changed regularly to prevent cure of materials in the roller.

Resuflor LM is not normally recoated. If required, re-coat as soon as the surface is tack free (i.e. 4 hours later). For the best inter-coat adhesion, Resuline should be applied no later than 24 hrs after previous coatings.
