MavCoat Metallic Decorative Self-Leveling Epoxy

Where MavCoat Metallic Is Used

• Combine with Metallic Additive.
• Add 16 oz. acetone.
• Protect with a Maverick topcoat.

Read Before Specifying

• Do not apply outdoors or where the epoxy is subject to high UV exposure.
• Do not apply at a temperature or thickness not recommended.
• Do not delay in pouring mixed material onto the floor.
• Do not apply over loose or unsound concrete, asphalt or bitumen substrates, glazed tile or nonporous brick and tile, magnesite, copper, metal, polyesters, or elastomeric membranes.
• Moving joints and shrinkage cracks may reflect through system. Joints that are designed to move may reflect through the finished flooring system if they are not honored.
• Tire marking may occur.

Substrate Requirements

Concrete and coated concrete surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and free of contaminants such as dirt, dust, grease, oil, silicones and other contaminants that may negatively affect adhesion. MavCoat Metallic is designed to be used with Metallic Additive and dropped over a tinted basecoat applied to sealed concrete; see the appropriate product data sheets for the primer and basecoat. A suitable moisture barrier must be in place for concrete slabs on-grade, since seasonal variations in ground moisture can cause excessive moisture vapor transmission regardless of results measured before coating. The MVT rate must not exceed three pounds per 1,000 square feet per 24 hours per ASTM F1869 and slab relative humidity must not exceed 75% per ASTM F2170; where moisture exceeds these limits, MavCoat MVB moisture vapor barrier primer may be required. Floor temperature must be at least 5 degrees over the current dew point.

Mixing and Installation

MavCoat Metallic is mixed 2 parts Base to 1 part Activator by volume, and is recommended over a tinted basecoat applied over sealed concrete to reduce outgassing on uncoated concrete floors. Pre-mix the Base at low speed for one minute, mix in 16 oz. of acetone, then add the 32 oz. of Metallic Additive and mix very well to break up pigment agglomerate; add the Activator and mix for three minutes until uniform, and do not mix more material than can be applied in 20 – 30 minutes. Immediately pour all mixed material onto the floor in beads or puddles, without scraping the pail sides or leaving it overturned to drain, and never roll material out of a bucket or roller pan. For designs with multiple colors, repeat the mixing for each color. Wearing spiked shoes, use the tool preferred by the artist to blend colors, ensuring consistent coverage, minimal application lines and a consistent film thickness. Do not work the material after it begins to get sticky, as the epoxy will not level and colored epoxy may turn a different shade.
