• Suitable for self-smoothening, textured or broadcast finish
• Highly chemical resistant against a range of aggressive chemicals, oils, various solvents, etc
(see Chemical Resistance Chart)
• High mechanical loading capacity
Areas of Application
• Environmental protection system / bund lining system in compliance with environmental legislation
• Coating of mineral substrates against highly aggressive chemicals
• REACh-assessed exposure scenarios : periodical inhalation, application
Application
Substrates and Substrate Preparation
The base slab must be sufficiently strong to support
service loads. Concrete with a compressive strength of
2
25 N/mm is usually adequate for this. In addition the
surface requires an average pull-off strength of 1.5
2
2
N/mm (lowest single value 1.0 N/mm ). MC-Industrial
Flooring Systems can be laid directly onto the concrete
base slab providing the surface is adequately prepared
with the appropriate mechanical equipment.
The substrate must be clean and free of all cement
laitance, dust, oil, grease, slurries and any material or
contaminant that may affect adhesion. Old paints and
coatings should be removed. If not, extensive tests to
determine compatibility and adhesion are necessary.
Cracks, blowholes and surface irregularities must be
repaired prior to application.
The moisture content in the substrate must not
exceed 4% (Tramex meter) or 6% (CM-method).
(For more details, please see our leaflet “MC-Industrial
Floors - Substrate and Substrate Preparation”.)
Priming
Use MC-DUR 1200 VK M. If it cannot be overcoated
within 24 hours, the freshly-laid primer is to be lightly
strewn with oven-dried quartz sand (0.1 – 0.3 mm).
All excess sand must be removed after hardening of
the primer.
Please refer to the product data sheet for MC-DUR
1200 VK M.
Scratch coat
Substrates with open surface pores which are
otherwise sound should be levelled with a scratch
coat prepared from MC-DUR 1200 VK M and ovendried quartz-sand (0.1 – 0.3 mm). If it cannot be
overcoated within 24 hours, the freshly-laid scratch
coat is to be lightly strewn with oven-dried quartz
sand (0.1 – 0.3 mm). All excess sand must be
removed after hardening of the scratch coat.
Please refer to the product data sheet for MC-DUR
1200 VK M.
Mixing
MC-DUR 1800 FF M is supplied in sets of exact premeasured quantities of base and hardener components.
Stir the pigmented base component separately
beforehand for about one minute. Then add the
hardener and mix thoroughly using a slowly-rotating
mixer (300-400 rpm) with paddle until homogeneity is
achieved. To complete mixing, empty thoroughly into
a clean container (re-potting) and mix again. To
ensure correct mixing ratios, only mix complete sets.
(For more details, please see our leaflet “General
Application Advice – Reactive Resins.)
Application
MC-DUR 1800 FF M is applied 12 to 24 hours after
application of the scratch coat using a steel float,
adjustable screeding tools or a rubber squeegee and
de-aerated with a spiked roller. For layers thicker
than 1 mm MC-DUR 1800 FF M may be filled with
oven-dried quartz-sand (0.1 – 0.3 mm) in a mixing
ratio of 1:0.5 p.b.w. After application the freshly laid
areas are de-aerated cross-wise with a spiked roller.
To obtain a higher slip-resistant finish the freshlyapplied coating is immediately strewn in excess
(approx. 5 – 6 kg/m²) with oven-dried quartz-sand
(e.g. 0.2 – 0.7 mm or coarser).
After curing, the loose sand is removed completely
and the top coat applied. The top coat is applied with
a lambskin-roller/rubber squeegee.
Application on sloped and vertical areas
For use on sloped and vertical areas, MC-DUR 1800
FF M is added with approx. 3 – 5% by weight of MCStellmittel TX 19 (MC Thixotropic Agent TX 19).

Application (cont.)
General Information
Coverage, application times, resistance to foot traffic
and time until full resistance are determined by
temperature and site properties and conditions. See
also leaflet “General Application Advice – Reactive
Resins“.
Higher temperatures shorten while lower temperatures
extend all given times and intervals. The general rule of
thumb is that a temperature increase of 10˚C halves all
given times, and vice versa.
Concerning the batch colour consistency, please note
the general information on the leaflet “General
Application Advice – Reactive Resins“.
Exposure to chemicals and UV-light may cause
colour changes, which usually do not affect the
properties and usability of the coating.
Mechanically and chemically exposed surfaces are
subject to wear and tear. Regular check-ups and
continuous maintenance are advised.
