- 100% Reactive
Considerations
- Concrete must be clean and free of all oil, grease, paint, dirt, sealers, laitance
and any other foreign material that might interfere with proper bonding.
- Do not store Epoxy.com Product #699 Low Viscosity Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Sealer
in direct sunlight, storage temperature must be less than 80 ° F.
- On or below grade applications should have a moisture vapor barrier
under the slab. Maximum vapor transmission must be less than 3 lbs per ASTM
F-1869 and less than 80% RH per ASTM F-2170.
Composition
Epoxy.com Product #699 Low Viscosity Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Sealer is a 100% Solids Methyl Methacrylate (MMA).
Surface Preparation
Good surface preparation is the first necessary step to successful installation of all Resinous Flooring System. All substrates must be clean and free of all oil, grease, paint, dirt sealers laitance and any other
foreign matter that may interfere with proper bonding. Follow the directions for surface preparation as outlined in
Epoxy.com Surface Preparation Guide.
Color Selection
Can be used clear (with a slight blue tint). Color packs are available in selected colors. Color pack mix ratio is 1 QT color pack per 5 gallon pail of
Epoxy.com Product #699 Low Viscosity Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Sealer and Top Coating Resin.
Mixing and Installation
Epoxy.com Product #699 Low Viscosity Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Sealer and Top Coating Resin requires the adding of
Epoxy.com Product #695 Hardening Powder. to start the hardening process. The amount of hardener must be adjusted to the respective surface temperature (see table below).
At temperatures below 40°F, Epoxy.com Product #696 Accelerator must be used,
contact Epoxy.com Technical Support for a recommended dosing.
In order to achieve the best curing it is necessary to apply Epoxy.com Product #699 Low Viscosity Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Sealer with a short nap roller. Coating thickness should
be a minimum of 10 mils and maximum of 20 mils (80-160 sq ft/gal.) depending on the profile of the base material. One hundred (100) sq ft/gal. is average. If the coating exceeds 20 mils, the top coat may
remain visibly blue or yellow and surface cracks are possible. It is best to spread material with a notched trowel or squeegee to the desired thickness, and roll in one direction, then roll in a 90° pattern.
This will reduce the occurrence of roller marks in the top coat.
