IMPORTANT APPLICATOR INFORMATION• Moisture is likely to be retained in the substrate prior to and during the application and installation process, especially

during wet winter months. It is important that applicators ensure that they allow adequate time for the EPS/XPS & Concrete Foundations to completely dry out before applying any subsequent Supercoat™ Acrylic products.

• Application of the Supercoat™ products over concrete foundations must always be in accordance with the curing times listed in the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) NZS 3101:Part 1:2006. Clause 3.6, Table 3.5 outlines the Minimum Concrete Curing Requirements for the various exposure classifications. Please contact MAXRaft™ for minimum concrete curing periods for the various exposure classifications. Ironbark Technology Ltd accept no liability for the performance of its products when applied outside of the scope of these standards.

• Follow Technical Data Sheets located in the back of this Technical Specification.

IMPORTANT OWNER INFORMATION• It is important that the owner should not rub or clean the Supercoat™ MFS System with any material for the periods stated

below to ensure full cure has taken place; * 18 months after coating for the Supercoat™ Protective Coating System products listed in this Technical Specification. 12 months after this period, the owner can then proceed to care for the external surfaces of their Supercoat™ MFS System

in the following manner. The owner shall wash the exposed Supercoat™ MFS Texture Surface annually to keep the coating clean. Use water at a low pressure and a soft brush to remove any dirt or dust. Do not use high pressure hoses or water blasters to rinse off. If fungus, oil, fuel soot, or other stubborn grime cannot be cleaned with water alone, use Supercoat™ Mould, Moss and Grime Cleaner, available from MAXRaft™. Instructions for dilution rates and application is located on the container. This process removes any dirt or other build up that has gathered on the textured coatings.

• It is important that the owner should not use any garden tools within 100mm of the foundation edge where paving has not been used, this is to ensure that the DPC and Coating System below ground is not damaged.

• The Supercoat™ MFS System is designed to tack to the DPC to protect the sealant bead until ground cover has been put in place.

SMFS 20143Copyright © Ironbark Technology Ltd 2014

The Supercoat™ range of products have been designed to compliment the most commonly used building substrates. In new buildings, additions and retro fitting of existing buildings there are a variety of materials used.This manual covers the technical aspect of coating over the MAXRaft™ Foundation System (MFS) and should always be read in conjunction with the relevant Supercoat™ TDS sheets and technical literature for the product to be coated.

Handling and StorageAll products must be stored in a well ventilated area, kept dry, out of direct sunlight, away from freezing conditions and up off concrete floors. The acrylic products, in the original unopened containers, have a shelf life of 2 years from date of manufacture, or 12 months once opened. If after the first opening the lid is replaced tightly on the acrylic products, the container can be stored upside down, thus sealing the lid and therefore maximising the shelf life.Keep containers closed at all times when not in use. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing vapour. Clean any overspill and splatters thoroughly from surfaces, skin and clothing after use.

Working TemperaturesThe acrylic products are supplied in pails ready to apply in accordance with the current technical literature. The minimum application temperature for exterior coating is 10˚C ensuring that the temperature does not drop below this during the entire curing process. Internal minimum application temperature is 5˚C ensuring the temperature does not drop below this during the entire curing process, the maximum application temperature is 25˚C, also ensure that the substrate temperature does not exceed this limit, this can be measured using a laser temperature probe.

1.3 MAXRaft™ Foundation System (MFS) Supercoat™ Product OverviewThe MAXRaft™ Foundation System (MFS) Supercoat™ Products are supplied in 4, 8 and 20L plastic pails, and are ready to be applied to the area.

Supercoat™ MFS MembraneSupercoat™ MFS Membrane is a liquid applied elastomeric membrane for use in sealing MAXRaft™ Foundations. This membrane is particularly useful where substrates are subjected to weather or dampness and require protection. This product is mesh reinforced.

Supercoat™ MFS TextureSupercoat™ MFS Texture is an elastomeric textured membrane for use in the MAXRaft™ Foundation System (MFS). The Supercoat™ MFS Texture is Hopper applied using a standard Hopper Gun with an 8mm tip applied at very low pressure. The Supercoat™ MFS Texture is the final coat applied over the Supercoat™ MFS Membrane to the exposed MAXRaft™ Foundation.

Supercoat™ Tanking MeshThis is a fine 62gsm polymer mesh made from 40 denier polyester with a 62/65 mesh construction that the applicator embeds into the first Supercoat™ Tanking Membrane layer and completely conceals with the second and third coat. The Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh reinforces the coating system and provides greater resistance to movement. Its embedment and concealment ensures the correct system thickness of Supercoat™ Tanking Membrane is applied. Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh is available in 400, 800, 1200 & 1500mm wide by 50m rolls. Custom sizes within this range can also be obtained by special order.

Supercoat™ Surface SealerSupercoat™ Surface Sealer is a fast drying, low viscosity, high penetration sealer used in the MAXRaft™ Foundation System (MFS) to seal the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) prior to application of the Supercoat™ MFS Membrane. When Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) is used no Supercoat™ Surface Sealer is required.

Holdfast FIXALL 220LM MS SealantHoldfast FIXALL 220LM MS is a high performance MS sealant, with superior flexibility, which makes it ideal for expansion joints or joints subject to (high) movement. The Holdfast FIXALL 220LM MS is applied to create a flexible, waterproof seal between the EPS/XPS and Polythene DPC junction.

Waterproof vs Water ResistantThe distinction between a waterproof coating and a water resistant coating is an important one. Supercoat™ Acrylic Paints and Textures are water resistant in the sense that they will not allow water as a liquid, to pass through them. Under normal atmospheric conditions the microscopic pores of the water resistant Acrylic coating are too small to allow liquid water to pass through them, provided always, they have been applied to an area where a sufficient fall provides adequate run off to avoid water pooling. Water resistant coatings will however, allow water vapour to pass through these pores when in a gaseous state. This enables internal moisture vapour, such as steam from cooking or washing and vapour from breathing etc., to escape the building, whilst preventing rain from entering. Most wall and floor surfaces benefit from NOT being waterproof, but simply being water resistant.By contrast, a waterproof coating has no pores to allow water liquid or vapour to pass. Supercoat™ Tanking Membrane is fully waterproof and therefore only suitable for selected wet areas, such as decks, parapet or balustrade tops, upper surfaces of sills, bathrooms, laundries or kitchen surfaces. Elsewhere, it is critical that only water resistant breathable coatings are used to avoid the problems caused by a build up of internal moisture.

1.4 Supercoat™ Protective Coating SystemsSupercoat™ ElastoshieldA specially formulated, breathable, elastomeric coating with strong adhesion characteristics for use on most building envelopes. A high viscosity, pure acrylic, incorporating fillers, extenders and fungicides for increased durability. Designed for great adhesion and corrosion resistance with a strong elastomeric membrane providing maximum weather durability under extreme conditions. For coating suitable external surfaces requiring an elastomeric membrane topcoat with excellent micro fissure crack spanning capabilities.

Supercoat™ MFS System SummaryLayer 1 - Apply 1 coat of Supercoat™ MFS Surface Sealer Layer 2 - Apply a Bead of Holdfast FIXALL 220LM MS Sealant Layer 3 - Apply 1 coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane Layer 4 - Insert Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh into Layer 3 Layer 5 - Apply 1 coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane Layer 6 - Apply 1 coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane Layer 7 - Apply 1 coat of Supercoat™ MFS Texture Supercoat MFS System Application DetailsEnsure that the Polythene DPC and EPS/XPS is thoroughly cleaned and dry prior to application. Do not use any abrasive cleaning chemicals that are not compatible with EPS/XPS or Polythene DPC, please refer to the manufacturer’s specifications for these products to ensure that the correct cleaning products are used. Please reference Detail 1.1 on Page 3 in conjunction with the below application instructions.

Layer 1 - Supercoat™ MFS Surface Sealer Apply one coat of the Supercoat™ MFS Surface Sealer at an approximate spread rate of 6m2/L, with a wet film thickness of 150 microns. As shown in Detail 1.1 on Page 3, this is applied under the bottom plate and over the front face of the MAXRaft™ EPS Foundation down to where the EPS meets the Polythene DPC layer. Do not use Supercoat™ Surface Sealer when XPS is used. Ensure that the Supercoat™ MFS Surface Sealer is not applied over the Polythene DPC. After application, allow a minimum of 2 hours at 20°C before the product can be overcoated with the 1st coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane.

Layer 2 - Holdfast FIXALL 220LM MS Sealant Apply a 5 x 5mm bead of Holdfast FIX ALL 220LM MS at the junction point where the MAXRaft™ EPS/XPS Foundation meets the Polythene DPC as shown in Detail 1.1 on Page 3. Keeping your small tool wet at all times to ensure that it glides smoothly across the sealant bead, rub along the bead of Holdfast FIXALL 220LM MS Sealant to create a 45° waterproof seal at this junction point. This also acts as a backing for the Supercoat™ MFS Membrane to be applied over, ensuring that a waterproof seal is achieved.

Layer 3 - Supercoat™ MFS Membrane Next, apply 1 coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane at an approximate spread rate of 2.25m2/L, with a wet film thickness of 500 microns. The first coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane is applied by roller or brush strokes moving in one direction. As shown in Detail 1.1 on Page 3, this is applied under the bottom plate, down the face of MAXRaft™ EPS/XPS Foundation and over the Polythene DPC on the blinding layer (ensure that the Polythene DPC has been trimmed back prior to application so that it only protrudes 75mm past the EPS/XPS Foundation).

Layer 4 - Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh The Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh is designed to structurally reinforce the Supercoat™ MFS System. The Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh must be embedded into the first coat of the Supercoat™ MFS Membrane whilst it is still tacky. Ensure that there are no creases or folds in the Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh. It is critical that the Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh has been firmly pressed into the corner junction point where the EPS/XPS meets the Polythene DPC over the Holdfast FIXALL 220LM MS. If the Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh should ever need to be joined, ensure that there is a 50mm mesh overlap.

Layer 5 - Supercoat™ MFS Membrane Next, apply 1 coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane at an approximate spread rate of 2.25m2/L, with a wet film thickness of 500 microns. The second coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane is applied by roller or brush strokes perpendicular to the strokes used in Layer 3. As shown in Detail 1.1 on Page 3, this is applied under the bottom plate, down the face of MAXRaft™ EPS/XPS Foundation and over the Polythene DPC on the blinding layer (ensure that the Polythene DPC has been trimmed back prior to application so that it only protrudes 75mm past the EPS/XPS Foundation).

Layer 6 - Supercoat™ MFS Membrane Next, apply 1 coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane at an approximate spread rate of 2.25m2/L, with a wet film thickness of 500 microns. The third coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane is applied by roller or brush strokes perpendicular to the strokes used in Layer 5. As shown in Detail 1.1 on Page 3, this is applied under the bottom plate, down the face of MAXRaft™ EPS/XPS Foundation and over the Polythene DPC on the blinding layer (ensure that the Polythene DPC has been trimmed back prior to application so that it only protrudes 75mm past the EPS/XPS Foundation).

Layer 7 - Supercoat™ MFS Texture Using a standard Hopper Gun on very low pressure with an 8mm tip, apply the Supercoat™ MFS Texture at an approximate spread rate of 0.9m2/L with a wet film thickness of 1000-1500 microns. As shown in Detail 1.1 on Page 3, this is applied down the face of MAXRaft™ EPS/XPS Foundation and over the Polythene DPC on the blinding layer. Ensure that a thorough coat is applied to the Polythene DPC as this helps to protect the Supercoat™ MFS Membrane System once the 200mm wide gravel filled channel has been filled.

2.0 MAXRaft™ Foundation System (MFS) Supercoat™ Application

NOTE: Please refer to the Important Applicator Information found on the contents page. For minimum cure times between coats, please reference the Supercoat™ MAXRaft™ Foundation System (MFS) Technical Data Sheets located at the back of this manual.

MAXRaft™ Foundation System Texture


2.1 PenetrationsPenetrations through The Supercoat™ MAXRaft™ Foundation System (MFS) are treated in the following manner.

2.1.1 Upstand Pipes, Ducts or BoltsStep 1 - Firstly, apply a single coat of the Supercoat™ Surface Sealer to the area. Secondly, a square of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane is applied over the surface and around the vertical face of the pipe, duct or bolt above flooding level .

Step 2 - A patch (approximately 10mm smaller than the tanking square) is cut from Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh with a star arrangement of slits cut in the middle to fit over the pipe, duct or bolt.

Step 3 - While the 1st coat is still wet, the patch is slid over the service and pressed into the Supercoat™ MFS Membrane. The star prongs formed by the cutting are pressed into the tanking on the vertical face of the pipe, duct or bolt.

Step 4 - After the 1st coat is dry a second coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane is applied over the whole of the first coat to encapsulate the mesh patch.

Step 5 - Immediately after applying this coating, a bandage of Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh is wrapped around the service and pressed into the Supercoat™ MFS Membrane to cover the star prongs of the patch.

Step 6 - The remaining surface of the foundation is coated with a 1st coat of Supercoat™ Surface Sealer. After this is dry, then proceed to apply the 1st coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane and sheets of Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh are pressed into this 1st coat.

NOTE: To ensure complete waterproofing it is important that the mesh patch is completely lapped by these sheets of mesh on all four sides.

Step 7 - Finally, the remaining coats of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane and Texture (where required) are applied to conceal the reinforcing mesh, patch and bandage. By this method penetrations are completely sealed watertight preventing the leakage of water into the space below the Supercoat™ MFS System.

2.1.2 Outlet PipesStep 1 - Firstly, apply a single coat of the Supercoat™ Surface Sealer to the area. Secondly, a square of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane is applied over the surface and down the vertical face of the hole as far as practical (preferably the depth of the panel).

Step 2 - A patch (approximately 10mm smaller than the tanking square) is cut from Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh with a star arrangement of slits cut in the middle the same size as the hole.

Step 3 - While the 1st coat is still wet the patch is placed over the service and pressed into the tanking. The star prongs are pressed down, around the inside of the hole and pressed into the Supercoat™ MFS Membrane.

Step 4 - After the 1st coat is dry a second coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane is applied over the whole of the first coat to encapsulate the Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh patch.

Step 5 - Immediately after applying this coating, a bandage of Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh, the same width as the depth of tanking in the hole is pressed around the inside of the hole to cover the star prongs of the patch.

Step 6 - The remaining surface of the foundation is coated with a 1st coat of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane and sheets of Supercoat™ Tanking Mesh are pressed into this 1st coat.

NOTE: To ensure complete waterproofing it is important that the mesh patch is completely lapped by these sheets of mesh on all four sides.

Step 7 - Finally, the remaining coats of Supercoat™ MFS Membrane and then Texture (where required) are applied to the foundation to conceal the reinforcing mesh and patch.

4.0 MAXRaft™ Builder Responsibilities1. Ensure MAXRaft EPS moulding is straight, level and consistent. 2. Builder must ensure that the EPS/XPS MAXRaft Foundation sustains no damage during installation. If there are any dents, holes or tears in the MAXRaft EPS/XPS mould, this will need to be filed with Holdfast Gorilla Nailpower FLEXI Expanding Foam and cut back once dry to create a level surface. NOTE: The Supercoat MFS System will follow the contour of the MAXRaft Foundation and cannot be used to fill or hide any defects or blemishes in the EPS/XPS moulding.

3. The rebate must be level and flush with the top of the MAXRaft moulding. Any concrete dags or high points must be removed by the builder prior to the Supercoat Applicator commencing work.

4. The MAXRaft foundation corners must be complete and any gap created on the corner should be filled with Gorilla Nailpower FLEXI Expanding Foam, then cut back flush with the EPS/XPS moulding. 5. All fixing points for doors, windows, decks etc are clearly marked and the necessary preparation work completed before the Supercoat Applicator commences work. 6. If there are areas of polished concrete, this must be highlighted to the Supercoat Applicator before work commences. 7. The MAXRaft Foundation (EPS/XPS and Polythene DPC) must be cleaned down thoroughly using water so there is no residue, dirt or stones on surface. 8. The Polythene DPC must be cut back to extend out past MAXRaft Foundation wall by 75mm


AppendixLight Reflectance Values (LRV)

Traditional Waffle Slab

Thermal bridge free construction is essential for perimeter foundations to ensure there is no condensation risk and optimal thermal comfort.

A conventional waffle slab floor has many thermal bridges especially around the perimeter.

MAXRaft™© Slab

MAXRaft™ offers a continuous layer of perimeter insulation. This has a dramatic effect on the surface

temperature at the floor edge. Our iso-thermal analysis makes it easy to see the difference in

surface temperature.

What is LRV? The light reflectance value (LRV) of a colour can be measured by a spectrophotometer. This device can measure how much of the visible spectrum of light is reflected by a particular colour. The LRV is measured in a range from 0 - 100% LRV. Pure black gives a 0% reading and pure white gives a 100% reading. Light that is not reflected by the colour is absorbed into the paint. The energy produced by the light absorbed into the paint is ultimately converted into heat, so the lower the LRV the more heat energy that is produced by the surface coating of a building.

The LRV can be affected by the finished surface of the coating, for example a jet black gloss finish paint will achieve some reflective values working in a similar way to that of a mirror, where flat/matte and textured paints do not have these properties and therefore will only reflect in a radiated manner.

LRV Sensitive Substrates Higher LRV’s are often specified for substrates that are either sensitive to heat, or where thermal expansion and contraction would have a negative impact on the buildings ability to function and remain weather tight. Heat energy build up can increase the risk of the cracking at joints in monolithic wall claddings, especially where timber framing is the supporting structure.

When sampling paint colours, paying attention to Light Reflectance Values as you try different hues, tints, tones and shades creates benchmarks that can assist you in arriving at colour selections quickly and efficiently. Most Building Material Appraisals for claddings and exterior products state that paint colours must have an LRV higher than 40%. Colours darker than this are assessed as Alternative Solutions to the NZ Building Code and require consent from the relevant Building Control Authority.

LRV’s and Building Control Authorities In certain visually sensitive environments, there are town planning requirements which dictate that darker colours (below 40% LRV) must be used, even though this may be beyond the limits of what is required for compliance with the N.Z.B.C. Supercoat™ recommends that when selecting a colour you consult your local Building Control Authority about any restrictions that they may have on the LRV and the suitability of colours below 40% LRV.

Colours in the LRV Range 40% down to 25% Use of colours in this range are considered an Alternative Solution to the Building Code and as such, requires consent from your Building Control Authority. The Supercoat™ 8 year warranty still applies to this range of LRV, as long as the B.C.A. approval is given. No warranty is offered on colours with an LRV under 25%.

Colour Variations between Batches & Tints

As in good trade practice, all pails of tinted paint should be boxed together prior to use (without exception). This ensures consistency of colour is achieved over the entire job.

Ironbark Technology Ltd produces only the highest quality paints for professionals using the highest quality raw materials; this is backed up with quality support. As part of this service, we offer advice to our Networks of Distributors and system providers about colour to help them achieve the best results time after time. The human eye can differentiate between approximately 10 million colours, the way in which light hits a building can alter that perceived colour, in some cases substantially. However, although paint manufacturers have been making and using colours for many, many years, there are fundamental issues around colour matching that still arise. Industry standard paint technology is still plagued with many variables and whilst these variables may be very small, they can still be quite significant at times.

Why are variables experienced? 1) Manufactured pigments have always differed from batch

to batch. 2) Tinting machines consistently produce a slightly different

strength of colour each time. 3) Raw materials used in the manufacture of bases vary

every time the product is made. These are just three reasons why, historically, the paint industry has always experienced batch to batch variation on ready mixed and tinted paint based products.Over the last 20 years the market has moved from ready mixed to predominately tinted paints. Whilst this gives our Distributors, system providers and end users greater advantages, it also introduces the obstacles associated with colour variation. These colour variations effect a wide range of industry where colours are used.

What can be done to minimise the impact of colour variation? 1) Use a single batch for a job or an isolated area. i.e. a

paint product that has been tinted from the same tinting machine at the same time.

2) Do not use paint from different batches on the same surface or surfaces close together. If possible, purchase paint for the whole job at one time.

3) Industry trade practice requires that if you have mixed batches of coloured paint then they must always be ‘boxed’ together. i.e. mixing all the paints in a large container will always ensure colour consistency.

4) Check the colour of all buckets in each batch before you use it.

5) Ask the Client or Project Manager to agree that the colour (and quality of the paintwork) is in line with the specification by signing off a small test area at the beginning of the project. This will avoid costly recoating every time.

6) The appearance of a colour always depends on the type of lighting. Therefore be sure that the Client or Project Manager checks the colour in suitable lighting conditions. The Client or Project Manager may not ask for this so painting contractors need to be proactive in requesting this check.

7) ‘Touching up’ should only be attempted using paint from the original job using the same application methods. Therefore, paint should be reserved specially for this purpose. It is recommended that touching up is carried out up to a break in the wall or surface. With particular colours, usually deeper shades and higher sheen finishes it may be necessary to recoat the entire area to avoid noticeable differences in appearance.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact Ironbark Technology Ltd for professional advice.
