TERRAZZCO® Leveling Fill Epoxy 162 is perfect for concrete surfaces where a uniformly even product is desired. TERRAZZCO® Leveling Fill is the superior decision for educational institutions, medical centers, sports facilities, and institutions.
- Application
Surface Preparation: All work should be performed by trained and experienced contractors or maintenance personnel. Concrete surface and air temperature must be a minimum of 55°F during installation and cure. Concrete surface temperature must be 5°F above the dew point to ensure proper curing of all the material. Consult installer for job specific slab conditions for TERRAZZCO® epoxy terrazzo flooring system installation. Concrete surfaces must be free of dirt, waxes, curing agents, and any other foreign materials. Surfaces should be prepared by grinding or shot blasting and any repairs to concrete must be made prior to applying this product. An active vapor barrier under the concrete slab is required. Concrete slabs receiving resinous terrazzo flooring must be tested for relative humidity according to ASTM-F-2170 (Relative Humidity in Concrete Floor Slabs using in situ probes) prior to application. Measurements must be made using Wagner Electronics Rapid RH® 4.0 Smart Senor and Rapid RH® Easy Reader. A record sheet should be filled out that includes the ambient temperature and humidity during testing along with the substrate temperature, and relative humidity. The test must be conducted at end user environmental conditions. Any deviation from this procedure will result in the warranty being voided.
Materials Needed
- Hand mixing drill with jiffy blade
- Mineral spirits or isopropyl alcohol for cleaning equipment
Mixing & Application
Premix TERRAZZCO® Leveling Fill Epoxy 162 resin part A before use. Mix five (5) parts of TERRAZZCO® Leveling Fill Epoxy 162 resin part A with one (1) part of TERRAZZCO® hardener 162 part B by volume with a slow speed drill until liquids are completely blended. Introduce the appropriate amount of aggregate and continue to mix. For complete installation instructions, contact your Concord Terrazzo Company representative.
Clean Up
Clean skin with soap and water. Tools and equipment should be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or mineral spirits before the epoxy hardens. Failure to do so will cause the epoxy system to harden on the tools and equipment making it very difficult to remove.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Considerations
- Substrate temperature must be a minimum of 55o F before, during and 72 hours after installation. The surface temperature of the concrete must be 5o above the dew point to ensure proper curing.
- Substrate must be free of dirt, waxes, curing agents, and other foreign materials.
- The concrete surface must be prepared by shot blasting or by grinding.
- All cracks and joints in the concrete must be treated prior to application.
- An active vapor barrier must be present under concrete slab.
- Concrete slab must be treated with moisture vapor barrier if relative humidity is 80% or higher.
- Materials should be allowed to acclimate to controlled application environmental conditions prior to being mixed.
- Material is not designed to be used as a moisture vapor barrier.

- Warranty
TERRAZZCO® products are warranted for a period of one (1) year. Warranty provides that the product will be free of manufacturing defects and will be in conformity with published specifications when handled, stored, mixed and applied in accordance with recommendations of TERRAZZCO® literature. If any product fails to meet this warranty, the liability of manufacture will be limited to replacement of any non-conforming material if notice of such non-conformity is given to manufacturer within (1) one year of delivery of materials. Manufacturer may in its discretion refund the price received by them in lieu of replacing the material. No customer or distributor of TERRAZZCO® products is authorized to change or modify the published specifications of this warranty in any way. No one is authorized to make oral warranties on behalf of manufacturer. In order to obtain replacement or refund the customer must provide written notice containing full details of the non-conformity.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
Epoxy resin does not have a shelf life and hardener has a 1-year shelf life in unopened containers.
- Storage Conditions
It is suggested that materials are stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. If this is not possible materials should be allowed to acclimate to controlled environmental conditions of application. Keep resins and hardeners separated from each other until ready for use. Materials should be kept away from sources of ignitions. Materials should be stored in their original unopened container.
