Epoxy Systems
MavCoat epoxy is the backbone of industrial resin flooring: seamless, chemical-resistant, and built up in mils you can verify. From MavCoat SLE self-leveling plant floors to MavCoat Metallic showroom finishes, the chemistry is the same — proven 100% solids epoxy, installed by the manufacturer.
System Overview
One Chemistry. Four Finishes. Zero Seams.
Every MavCoat epoxy system starts the same way: mechanically prepared concrete, a penetrating coat of MAVPRIME EP, and a 100% solids epoxy body — self-leveling MavCoat SLE for general industry, a MavCoat PC broadcast build for texture and intercoat grip, or a clear-coated decorative layer for customer-facing space.
Broadcast and decorative installations are finished with MavCoat CES, a clear epoxy siloxane topcoat that protects the encapsulating body coat while keeping optical depth and chemical resistance. Every build traces to its own Maverick data sheet or system guide — specified to your floor.
Why Facilities Specify MavCoat Epoxy
- Verified film build — 100% solids means what we apply is what cures. No solvent loss, no shrinking films, no guesswork.
- Chemical resistance — stands up to oils, coolants, alkaline cleaners, and intermittent acid splash common in plant environments.
- Seamless and cleanable — no grout lines, no joints in the wear surface, no place for contamination to live.
- Repairable for life — damaged areas are abraded and recoated; the floor never has to come out.
- Safety striping and demarcation — aisle lines and zone colors are coated into the system, not painted over it.
System Build-Up
MavCoat Epoxy Cross-Section
The standard self-leveling build-up. MavCoat PC broadcast and MavCoat Metallic builds modify the body coat and add a MavCoat CES epoxy siloxane topcoat; thicknesses adjust per the project data sheet.

| Self-leveling body | MavCoat SLE | Self-leveling 100% solids epoxy body coat — the workhorse for plant floors; also serves as the broadcast-receiving basecoat. | TDS (PDF) |
| High-build body | MavCoat HB | 2-layer system per its guide — epoxy primer (3–8 mils) plus 100% solids self-leveling epoxy body (10–30 mils), pigmented on-site with MavTints. | System Guide (PDF) |
| Troweled mortar body | MavClad EM | ¼″ trowel-applied epoxy mortar for heavy-duty industrial traffic without thermal shock; fills coves, keyways, and chases. | Data Sheet (PDF) |
| Decorative body | MavCoat Metallic | Metallic pigmented epoxy body in 35 standard blends. | Metallic Colors |
| Clear sealer | MavCoat CES | Clear epoxy siloxane topcoat — the protective satin or gloss finish over broadcast and decorative builds. | TDS (PDF) |
| Topcoat | MavCoat / MavSeal Topcoat | Pigmented or clear finish coat selected per service environment; pigmented over all troweled mortar bodies. | Color Charts |
Finish Options
From Plant Floor to Showroom
Same primer, same body chemistry — the finish layer is tuned to the space.
MavCoat SLE — Self-Leveling
High-build 100% solids self-leveling epoxy. Smooth, seamless, and chemical-resistant — the default for production floors, warehouses, and maintenance bays. Safe for incidental food contact per its PDS, with colors matched through the MavTints universal tinting system.
MavCoat PC — Prime & Coat
Two-layer prime-and-coat broadcast build with a full broadcast to rejection of 36-grit silica between primer and topcoat. Mechanical aggregate interlock delivers excellent intercoat adhesion and slip resistance.
MavCoat HB Epoxy — High Build
High-gloss 2-layer epoxy system per the MavCoat HB Epoxy system guide — epoxy primer plus a 100% solids self-leveling body that restores eroded floors, with optional high-wear topcoats.
MavCoat Metallic
Premium metallic epoxy with flowing three-dimensional visual effects, moved while wet for one-of-a-kind depth. Showrooms, lobbies, and retail floors that need to impress and still take traffic.

FAQ
Common Questions
How thick is a MavCoat epoxy floor?
A typical MavCoat SLE self-leveling build-up is 16–30 mils nominal. MavCoat HB is a 2-layer build — epoxy primer at 3–8 mils plus a 100% solids self-leveling body at 10–30 mils — and where heavy-duty traffic demands more, MavClad EM steps up to a ¼″ trowel-applied epoxy mortar.
How soon can an epoxy floor return to service?
Foot traffic in 12–16 hours and full chemical cure in 5 days, at 72°F / 50% RH. Request the TDS for project values.
What chemical exposure can MavCoat epoxy handle?
MavCoat epoxy stands up to oils, coolants, alkaline cleaners, and intermittent acid splash common in plant environments. For repeated hot washdown and thermal shock service, epoxy is not the answer — that is where MavCrete cementitious urethane comes in.
How does surface preparation work?
Every MavCoat system starts with mechanically prepared concrete — grinding, repairs, and patching before a drop of resin goes down — followed by a penetrating coat of MavPrime EP over the CSP 3+ profile, the bond coat under every MavCoat system.

The Finish, Up Close
A properly placed MavCoat SLE floor reads like glass — a seamless, light-reflective surface that brightens the facility and shows exactly how flat the placement is. Gloss like this is the product of substrate preparation, primer discipline, and a crew that screeds to tolerance.

The Maverick Difference
From Prep to Finish
Most floor failures are prep failures. Ours start with the grinder — mechanical preparation, repairs, and patching before a drop of resin goes down.
