MR. JO Self-Level Epoxy Floors: Choosing Between Eco, SL & CRSL
When it comes to self-level epoxy flooring, one size doesn’t fit all.
From cost-effective upgrades to high-gloss finishes and chemically aggressive environments — Mr. JO offers three tailored epoxy self-level systems:
- EcoFloor – Smart on budget, strong on performance.
- Floor-SL – The original high-gloss hero.
- Floor-CRSL – Protection for the chemically challenged.
So how do you choose?
🧱 Core Similarities
Before we dive into the differences, let’s look at what’s common across all three:
✅Self-leveling epoxy floors
✅Mix Ratio: Part A : B : C = 100 : 50 : (as per thickness)
✅Thickness Options: 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm
✅High abrasion resistance
✅Compatible with full MR. JO system (primers, underlays, pigments)
✅Custom tinting via MR. JO ArtPigment
✅Recommended Underlay for 0.5 & 1 mm applications

| Suggested Use | Light traffic zones | Medium traffic zones | Heavy-duty traffic zones |
🔧 Application & Support System
Each of these flooring systems benefits from proper substrate preparation and the right system build.
1. Surface Preparation
- Remove laitance via grinding or shot blasting.
- Repair cracks using MR. JO Tecseal CRP.
- Clean thoroughly (vacuum, degrease if needed).
2. Primers (choose based on surface)
- Eco Primer – Fast setting, budget option.
- UPS – Damp/underprepared surface.
- LVC – Smooth, dense concrete.
- MVC – All-rounder, most recommended.
3. Underlays (especially for thin floorings)
- Eco Underlay – For EcoFloor systems
- STD / FLO – For SL systems
- CMR – For chemical zones (used with CRSL)
- TMP – For tampable covings and heavy thickness build-ups
🛡️ Why It Matters
Picking the right flooring system ensures:
- 🦶 Safer movement zones (anti-slip, seamless)
- 🧼 Cleaner, easier-to-maintain surfaces
- 🔬 Resistance to spills, abrasion, heavy loads
- 💸 Long-term cost savings by avoiding premature wear
✅ Quick Recommendation Guide
| Your Requirement | Pick This System |
| Budget-friendly flooring | EcoFloor-SLP |
| Showroom-like finish & gloss | Floor-SL |
| Acid/solvent-resistant flooring | Floor-CRSL |
