MiraGard Colorbond SR
- Chemical Family
- Acrylics & Acrylates
MiraGard Colorbond SR is a single component, self-crosslinking, and solar-reflective pigmented acrylic coating designed for application on concrete plaza decks, balconies, roof deck surfaces, and as a topcoat for polymer modified cementitious coatings such as Miracote MPC. An important characteristic of MiraGard Colorbond SR is that it increases the solar reflectance index (SRI) of the exposed surface, which results in a significantly cooler surface. It also features excellent hiding attributes, wash-down characteristics and provides excellent weathering and wear resistance. MiraGard Colorbond SR Topcoat is an easy to apply economical coating. It is recommended for resealing some Miracote systems to improve overall energy savings, via reduction in conditioned air utility costs. It may be applied to properly prepared surfaces where stain resistance and cleanability are a consideration.

- Ready-to-Use Products
- Coverage Rates
300-320 sq. ft per gallon per coat. Two coats required for maximum solar reflectivity.
- Packaging Type
- Pails
- For Best Results
Install a minimum 4' by 4' test area site mock up for approval of acceptable color, texture, finish, adhesion, and any other critical requirement acceptable to the owner prior to proceeding with the installation.. Protect materials from excessive heat and cold and regularly check wet film thickness with mil gage and monitor consumption to ensure correct application thicknesses and rate are obtained.
- Application Methods
- Brush
- Roller
- Spray
- Installation Steps
Apply in thin coats by brush, roller, or airless spray. It is usually applied in two coats and sometimes three coats. Always allow for losses due to application methods, surface porosity and texture. Dries to touch in approximately 20 minutes.
