substrates must be properly prepared as outlined in
Epoxy.com Surface Preparation Guide.

MIXING/APPLICATION

Epoxy.com Product #693 Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Sealer and Coating requires
the addition of  Epoxy.com Product #695 MMA Hardener to start the hardening
process. The amount of hardener must be adjusted to the respective surface temperature (see table

the 40�F level (about � oz by
vol./gal. @ 32°F up to 2.0 oz by vol./gal. @ -20°F).

Epoxy.com Product #693 Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Coating  must be applied 50-100 sq. ft./gal. (16-32 mils) for safe
through-hardening. To avoid yellowness do not apply more than 80 mils (20 sq ft/gal.).
For outdoor applications add 1% Epoxy.com Product #693 UV Inhibitor at a
rate of 1% by volume. Pigmented topcoats are achieved by adding pigment packs (1 quart per 5 gallons
resin) to Epoxy.com Product #693 Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Coating.
Apply material with a notched trowel or squeegee and back roll with a short nap
mohair roller.

TECHNICAL DATA

MAINTENANCE

Epoxy.com Product #693 Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Sealer and Coating is considered to be a low maintenance flooring solution. Certain textures and environments,
however, require specific cleaning with bristled brushes. Due to the thermoplastic character of MMA resins,
black marks can occur from fork lifts and tires skidding.

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.

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 90°F, DO NOT apply material.
