** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** PerdUre SLE (self-leveling epoxy) & SLE-T (self-leveling epoxy trowel grade) consists of 100% solid epoxy and selectively graded aggregates to produce a seamless flooring solution ideally suited for industrial flooring applications. System requires concrete sub-floor to be level (maximum variation not to exceed 1/4 inch in 10 feet) with a steel troweled finish and no curing agents or other treatments which would prevent bonding. Slabs on grade must have an efficient puncture resistant vapor barrier placed directly under the slab. The total thickness of PerdUre SLE and PerdUre SLE-T system is modified by changing the self-leveling filler and PerdUre E10. Consult with DUraamen's technical representative to arrive at specifications for your project.
