COMPOSITION

Flexible Polyurethane Methyl Methacrylate (PUMMA) Product #6890 is a 100% reactive methyl methacrylate polyurethane hybrid resin.

COLOR SELECTION

Flexible Polyurethane Methyl Methacrylate (PUMMA) Product #6890 is supplied clear (slight haze). Color packs are available for selected colors. Color pack mix ratio is 1 quart pigment per 5 gallons resin. See Epoxy.com MMA Color Card.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Surface preparation is the most critical portion of any successful resinous flooring system. All substrates must be properly prepared as outlined in Epoxy.com Surface Preparation Procedures. In addition, All Epoxy.com MMA Flooring Systems require a minimum surface profile of CSP 4-5, as outlined in ICRI Guideline 310.2-1997, formerly named G-03732 (available from www.ICRI.org).

 MIXING AND INSTALLATION

 Flexible Polyurethane Methyl Methacrylate (PUMMA) Product #6890 is typically used in conjunction with fillers and aggregate and requires the addition of MMA Hardener #695 to start the hardening process. The amount of hardener must be adjusted to the respective surface temperature (see table). At temperatures below 40°F, Epoxy.com 9101 MMA COLD TEMPERATURE ACCELERATOR must be used in addition to the amount of hardener used at the 40&deg;F or 30&deg;F level.

MMA COLD TEMPERATURE ACCELERATOR Product #696

 At temperatures below 40°F, Cold Temperature Accelerator Product #696  must be used in addition to the amount of hardener used at the 40°F or 30°F level. As a rule of thumb, add about ° oz by volume per gallon of resin @ 39° to 32°F, up to 2.0 oz by volume per gallon @ -20°F, increasing the quantity gradually in a consistent linear progression as the temperature decreases. VERY IMPORTANT: Cold Temperature Accelerator Product #696 MUST be added to the MMA resin and thoroughly blended BEFORE adding the Epoxy.com #695 MMA HARDENER, or hazardous decomposition may occur (i.e., violent foaming). Epoxy.com 696 MMA COLD TEMPERATURE ACCELERATOR will cause yellowing, it is advised to use pigmented MMA resin versus clear to reduce the appearance of yellowing, darker colors will be less affected than lighter colors.

POLYURETHANE METHYL METHACRYLATE MEMBRANE SYSTEMS

Flexible Polyurethane Methyl Methacrylate (PUMMA) Product #6890 MEMBRANE SYSTEMS are used for elastomeric decking, waterproofing, roof decks, freezer floors, etc. Flexible Polyurethane Methyl Methacrylate (PUMMA) Product #6890 can be mixed in various formulations using Epoxy.com Self-Leveling Filler #78, or Mortar Blend Aggregate #82, depending on the applied thickness and intended use. Refer to Formulas 6890/1-4. Consult with Epoxy.com Resin Technical Service for recommendations on the best formula, thickness and system design to use for any particular project.

FORMULATION GUIDE - MEMBRANE SLURRY

 Add hardener to the clear resin and blend; add dry filler powder and mix thoroughly with jiffy mixer. Blend pigment and mix for 1-2 minutes until no lumps are present. Apply mix to the primed surface using a gauge rake or notched trowel. The above mixture will yield approximately 1.15 gallons of slurry. Coverage per batch is:

*Note: Yield of mixed slurry will vary depending on mix design used.

 Add hardener to the clear resin and blend; add dry filler powder and filler sand and mix thoroughly with jiffy mixer. Blend pigment and mix for 1-2 minutes until no lumps are present. Apply mix to the primed surface using a gauge rake or notched trowel. The above mixture will yield approximately 1.5 gallons of slurry. Coverage per batch is:

  *Note: Yield of mixed slurry will vary depending on mix design used.

Formulation Guide - Joint Filler

Add hardener to the clear resin and blend; add pigment pack and filler powder and mix thoroughly with jiffy mixer. Blend for 1-2 minutes until pigment is thoroughly mixed and no lumps from filler are present. For joint filling, transfer mixed resin to a pourable container or caulk gun. One gallon of Polyurethane MMA #6890 slurry will yield 231 cubic inches, or fill an expansion/isolation joint with dimensions of 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch x 77 lineal feet. Closed cell backer rod should be used to support bottom of Polyurethane MMA #6890 joint filler.

APPLICATION   MEMBRANE SYSTEMS

The fresh slurry coat or joint filler must be applied over substrate primed with Epoxy.com 9112 MMA. Formulas 9800/1, 9800/2, and 9800/4 are applied with a gauge rake or notched trowel/squeegee. When using formula 9800/1, apply in two layers, the first layer "neat" and the second layer broadcast to excess with a wearing course of 20 mesh silica or colored quartz aggregate. Formula 9800/2 may be installed in a single layer and must be broadcast to excess with a wearing course of 20 mesh silica or colored quartz aggregate.

Formula 9800/4 is applied in two layers, with polyester fleece reinforcement imbedded into the first layer. Aggregate broadcast rates will vary from 0.25-1.25 lbs/ft2 depending on type and size of aggregate, mix design, and thickness of slurry. It is recommended to broadcast 20 mesh aggregate or larger. Do not use broadcast aggregate smaller than 20 mesh or the risk of random cure problems increases. Aggregate may be natural or colored quartz, sand, aluminum oxide, emery, etc. Polyurethane MMA #6890 must be top coated or sealed with Epoxy.com 9528 MMA.

TROWELED MORTAR SYSTEM

Polyurethane MMA #6890 MORTAR SYSTEM is used for patching damaged concrete or asphalt in highways, bridge decks, pedestrian decks/walkways, roof decks, freezer floors, etc. Polyurethane MMA #6890 can be mixed in various formulations using blended mortar silica aggregate and pea gravel or other large aggregate for thicker applications. Polyurethane MMA #6890 MORTAR SYSTEM may require a sealer such as Epoxy.com 9528 or Epoxy.com 9526, depending on expected service conditions. Consult with Epoxy.com Resin Technical Service for recommendations on the best formula, thickness and system design to use for any particular project.

FORMULATION GUIDE - TROWELED MORTAR

 IMPORTANT: Mortar mix design MUST yield a resin-rich mortar with pourable consistency, which has a resin-rich surface after troweling. A mortar with a resin-lean, dry consistency may have cure problems.

The above mix design formulation permits installation up to 2.5 inches in one placement. For thicknesses greater than � inch, additional aggregate may be added to reduce the resin content and lower the shrinkage. The addition of up to 75% additional aggregate allows for installation of up to 5 inches in one placement.

APPLICATION - TROWELED MORTAR

Polyurethane MMA #6890 and hardener powder are mixed and blended with the blended mortar aggregate for 3 minutes until no lumps are present. Add the additional aggregates to extend the mortar if needed. IMPORTANT: Mortar mix design MUST yield a resin-rich mortar, pourable consistency, which has a resin-rich Polyurethane MMA #6890; surface after troweling. Apply mortar to the primed surface using a trowel. If excessive resin forms on the surface of the mortar while troweling, it is optional to lightly broadcast 20 mesh silica sand into the resin. A mortar with a resin-lean, dry consistency may have cure problems, resulting in isolated sticky areas that do not cure completely. Any areas that do not cure hard must be removed, spot primed, and replaced with resin-rich mortar before application of sealer (if used). Polyurethane MMA #6890 mortar may require a sealer suitable for the intended application. Consult with Epoxy.com Resin for recommendations.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES - RESIN/SYSTEM

 CLEAN-UP

Clean tools and equipment with lacquer thinner or MEK. Consult Material Safety Data Sheet for safety and health precautions.

MAINTENANCE

 Polyurethane MMA #6890 is a basecoat resin or binder resin used with various Epoxy.com MMA Systems, refer to specific system data sheet or sealer data sheet for recommended maintenance.

STORAGE

 Store in a cool and dry place, below 80°F, out of direct sunlight. Do not store near open flame or food. Shelf life is 6 months in the original unopened containers. After extended storage: Additives and fillers can separate with storage, materials should be inspected for any visible signs of settlement, polymerization, or paraffin coagulation (clumps, strands). Thoroughly mix pails or drums (use a drum mixer, do not rely on rolling drum on floor) and pour into new containers to inspect resin before use.

HELPFUL HINTS

Adequate cross ventilation should be provided. Good ventilation during the processing ensures a good cross linking and hardening. Read, understand and follow Material Safety Data Sheets and Application Instructions prior to use. Use only as directed. If substrate and/or material temperature is above 90F, DO NOT apply material.
