Series 241 | Ultra-Tread MVT

Generic Type Polyurethane Modified Concrete
Common Usage Ultra-Tread MVT is a high performance moisture control system designed to reduce moisture vapor emissions prior to the application of non-breathing, polymer floor topping finishes. Ultra-Tread MVT is a low odor, self-priming, base coat that can be applied to 10 day old concrete. It can withstand moisture vapor transmission up to 10 lbs (per ASTM F 1869) and relative humidity up to 90% (per ASTM F 2170). This unique, self-leveling slurry system is typically applied by V-notch trowel or squeegee, backrolled with a loop roller and broadcast to refusal with 30/50 mesh aggregate, colored quartz or decorative flake yielding a 1/8" thick base layer. Note: Series 241 must be broadcast to refusal with aggregate or decorative flake. Typically, systems will require an additional broadcast layer to obtain a uniform appearance before applying the desired clear finish coats. This will result in a total system thickness closer to 3/16".
Colors Neutral/Tan
Surfacer/Filler/Patcher Series 243, 245 or 241 mixed with additional aggregate. Patching should be allowed to cure a minimum of six hours prior to placement of the Series 241 to avoid blistering or doming of the Series 241.
Primers Self-priming
Topcoats Series 222, 223, 224, 237, 238, 239, 246, 256, 280, 282. Note: Series 241 must be broadcast to refusal with aggregate, colored quartz or decorative flake. Broadcast aggregate or colored quartz at a rate of 0.8 lb per sq ft and 1/4" flake at a rate of 0.1 lb per sq ft. The Series 241 base coat will account for approximately 1/8" of the desired system thickness.
Volume Solids 87% ± 2.0%
Recommended DFT Suggested 1/8" (including broadcast aggregate or decorative flake)
Note: Exceeding the recommended coating thickness may result in blistering of the product.
Curing Time
TemperatureTo Topcoat
75°F (24°C)6-8 hours
Curing time varies with surface temperature, air movement, humidity and film thickness.
For full resistance to chemicals and heavy traffic, 24 hour cure is needed.
