Vinyl chips are sparsely broadcast into Miracote CQ receiving coat based on desired end look. The chips can be broadcast from a range of a few random chips per square foot into a pigmented receiving coat to complete chip coverage, which can be broadcast into a clear opaque (Miracote CQ Clear) or pigmented (Miracote CQ Pigmented) epoxy receiving coat.
Mirathane APU Clear aliphatic polyester urethane topcoat(s) lock the vinyl chips in place. One to two topcoats are designed to hold the vinyl chips in place. Miraflake Random Broadcast is more economical than Miraflake Full Broadcast. One topcoat will leave an aggressive skid resistant finish, however it will be more difficult to clean. Two topcoats will make the system smoother, providing a less resistant floor, but will be easier to clean.
Miraflake is available with an EPA Listed Anti-Microbial Biocide in the epoxy receiving coat only. Incorporating an anti-microbial in the epoxy systems, which protects against growth of algae, bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew, yeast, etc.
