Maxiproof Gloss is an aliphatic interior\/ exterior moisture-cured polyurethane with added UV absorbers. It is designed to produce a hardwearing, traffic tough finish that is UV, heat, scuff and scratch resistant.Maxiproof Gloss is ideal for extreme, high-traffic commercial areas such as shopping malls, sports floors, boards, bars and cafes. Maxiproof Gloss also provides a tough, clear finish for bench tops, furniture and joinery, especially if exposed to direct sunlight.

Application Tools
Brush, Roller, Pad
Do not apply product if temperature is below 10°C or above 30°C or is likely to reach these temperatures during the drying period. Equally, relative humidity should not exceed 85%.
The first coat applied should be over coated as soon as practically possible, maximum within two weeks. The longer between installation and coating the greater the risk of surface contamination. Protection begins after the full coating system has been applied.
It is expected that all timber is stored flat, clear of the ground, and remain dry at all times. Excessive moisture content at the time of installation from improper storage and handling can lead to future construction and coating issues, such as warping and cupping, as well as increase the potential for mould growth. Timber should also be handled with care. Any marks or damage can easily be seen when finishing with semitransparent woodcare coatings.
Moisture content of timber should be close to equilibrium moisture content, usually 10-15%, but not exceeding 15%, for satisfactory application. Product must be used within 4 weeks of opening container. Shelf life is 12 months in unopened container.
NEW AND PREVIOUSLY COATED TIMBER
All timber surfaces should be thoroughly clean, dry and free from wax, oil, grease and other contaminants. Some waxes and greases are naturally occurring in some timbers including Tallowood and Vitex. Wash with Maxiproof Thinner if needed to remove wax and grease, and mop up with clean dry cloths. Repeat as required to ensure a receptive substrate.
Sharp edges on timber profiles should be rounded before coating.A typical radius of curvature of 3mm is recommended for best coating performance.
For dressed timber, sand using 120 grit paper to remove any mill glaze.
Thoroughly sand timber floors, fill all nail holes with Cabot&rsquo ; s Woodtone Putty and vacuum to remove dust. If the surface has been previously coated, ensure it is thoroughly sanded to remove old coating.
CONCRETE
All concrete surfaces should be thoroughly clean, dry and free from wax, oil, grease, laitance and other contaminants. The surface should be acid etched and high-pressure waterblasted or ground to ensure a clean, sound substrate. Please note, different surface preparations will produce different looks. Remove all traces of dust from the work area.
Applicator pad, brush or short-nap mohair roller.
Product may be applied by applicator pad, brush or short-nap mohair roller, however ensure care is taken to minimise air bubbles. Always lay off along the grain.Always work out of direct sunlight. Timber being coated should be dry and cool to the touch. Follow all other good coating practices.
IMPORTANT Minimise the exposure of Maxiproof Gloss to moisture in the air by ensuring that the container is sealed immediately after decanting a sufficient amount for immediate use. DO NOT return unused product to the original container.
For new builds, exposed timber should be coated on all faces, edges, and ends before being attached to the building framework. For timber end grain it is recommended to seal following the full product specification - 3 coats.
Stir thoroughly before and during use with a broad, flat stirrer to maintain a uniform solution.
Allow approximately 8 hours for 1st coat to dry. Lightly sand 1st coat. Apply 2nd and 3rd coats unthinned. Lightly sand between coats.
Maxiproof Gloss can be sprayed but application must be in accordance with spray-painting regulations. Forced air respirators are compulsory.
