Applying 1 Coat MaxiPur

Introduction to Maxipur

Maxipur is a very effective and quick drying sealer, but because it is a solvent based product, its important that our guidance is followed in full.  The following points are essential for a safe, successful installation:

• Eye Protection, Filtering Masks, suitable for use with Solvents must be worn when working with MaxiPur & good ventilation maintained until cured. Failure to do so may result in sickness, see materials safety datasheets for more information.
• Only apply with rollers that are suitable for use with solvents & clean roller trays and cages. Failure to do so will result in discolouration on the surface.

Mixing MaxiPur

Mix the MaxiPur Comp A with the MaxiPur Comp B in a mixing jug and stir gently with a paint stirrer for at least a minute. Do not whisk as it will put too much air in the mix. Leave to rest for a couple of minutes before applying.

For 1 coat, you will need 500ml MaxiPur Comp A + 250ml MaxiPur Comp B per 10m2.

The mixing ratio is 2 x MaxiPur Comp A : 1 x MaxiPur Comp B.

Only mix enough for 1 coat at a time, as the mixture will only last for 45 minutes once combined.

IMPORTANT: Eye Protection, Gloves, Filtering Masks, suitable for use with Solvents must be worn when working with MaxiPur

Applying the MaxiPur

Use a medium pile roller that is suitable for solvents to apply the MaxiPur evenly across the entire area.

Starting in one corner, apply the MaxiPur in an area and then go back over it very gently with the roller to remove any excess product, air bubbles and lines.

Work quickly & randomly keeping the edge wet.

Ensure you cover the full area with MaxiPur and use the full amount provided.

Use a small roller to squash Aquamax into internal corners and open edges.  Then gently roll the excess away. Take care to get good coverage on shower wastes and other open edges.

Swimming Pools & Outdoor Surfaces

Only apply 1 coat of MaxiPur on Swimming Pools and Outdoor Surfaces, this will allow the Microcement to remain semi-permeable and prevent moisture from building up on the underside.

Leave to Dry

Leave the 1st coat to dry for a minimum of 12 hours before applying the 2nd coat.

Silicone Open Edges

Once the 2^nd coat is dry, take off the tape around shower wastes and open edges, and run a bead of silicone along the join to prevent any water getting behind the microcement.

Leave to Dry

Leave for at least 48 hours. Light use only for the first 14 days.

IMPORTANT: Like all cementitious products, microcement takes 28 days to full harden. It’s at it’s softest for the first 14 days after laying. During this time it should only be subjected to light use and light foot traffic.

Any heavy work is not recommended, but if it does take place then we recommend that you cover the floor with a breathable material or only cover down whilst working & lift the protection off for the majority of the time. The surface needs to dry out and harden. If airflow is restricted, it will stain & not cure correctly.
