Technical Data Sheet MPC-MASTER FLOW 

Product Description

MPC MASTER FLOW is a 2-component, 100% solids, self-leveling and high-build epoxy floor coating. This low viscosity coating is specifically formulated with state-of-the-art defoaming agents and surface additives to help increase air release, leveling and pigment wetting. It is designed to be used to create metallic/decorative flooring systems. MPC MASTER FLOW is a cycloaliphatic coating that reduces water spotting and amine blushing while providing excellent adhesion, abrasion, impact, and chemical resistance. This coating contains no solvent, is complaint with the CFIA regulations for indirect food contact and meets the VOC regulations limit of under 100 g/L for architectural floor coatings.

Packaging and Recommended Thickness

MPC MASTER FLOW is offered in the following kit sizes:

• 3-gallon kit (7.56L resin (A) and 3.78L hardener (B))
• Bulk packaging also available upon request

Recommended Film Thickness and Product Coverage:

For Metallic Coat: 40-50 sq. ft. / 3.78 L (1 US gal.) @ 32-40 mils dft

Surface Preparation

Remove dust, dirt, grease, oil and all other contaminants with proper cleaner/degreaser. Prepare the surface mechanically as per ICRI-CSP2 profile by diamond grinding to ensure removal of laitance, curing agents and sealers. The compressive strength of a newly poured concrete substrate must be at least 25 MPA (3635 psi) after 28 days cure and at least 1.5 MPA (218 psi) tensile strength. Be careful with condensation (within 10 degrees of the dew point). All cracks, holes and irregularities must be repaired with our epoxy crack filler prior to applying the coating. Surface must be coated with an appropriate primer such as our MPC-100 before applying the MPC MASTER FLOW.

Mixing Instructions

The products must be conditioned between for 18°C (65°F) and 30°C (86°F) prior to application.

Pre-mix each component separately. Open container with 2 parts of component A in it, then add the metallic pigment and mix approximately 1 minute using a low-speed drill (150-200 rpm). Let the colored resin sit for at least 30 minutes to ensure proper pigment wetting. Th en add 1 part of component B (mixing ratio 2:1). Mix the components using a low-speed drill (300-450 rpm) to reduce air entrapment and to obtain a homogeneous mixture.

Product Application

Apply the MPC MASTER FLOW using a rubber squeegee and roll with a fine quality 10mm roller to obtain a uniform finish.

Clean equipment with appropriate solvent. Once the product has hardened, it may only be removed mechanically.

Product Restrictions

• Not recommended for application at temperatures below 10°C / 50°F or above 30°C / 86°F.
• Ambient humidity of the surroundings should not exceed 85% during application and during curing process.
• Substrate must be clean, sound and dry.
• Substrate temperature must be 3°C (5.5°F) above measured dew point.
• Humidity content of substrate must be < 4% at time of application.
• Do not apply on porous surfaces where a transfer of humidity may occur during the application.
• Applying this product on a substrate without a moisture barrier may risk delamination due to hydrostatic pressure.
• Freshly applied product must be protected against moisture, condensation and water for at least 48 hours.
• Surface discoloration of product may occur when exposed to UV rays.
• Exposure during the curing stage of the coating to the by-products of propane combustion may cause discoloration (amine blushing)
