Systems we install

A working vocabulary of epoxy, urethane, MMA, vinyl ester, ESD, and urethane cement.

Know why 'just epoxy it' is not a spec
Flag environments that need a specialist system (Skydrol, thermal shock, ESD, secondary containment)

A typical resinous stack

TopcoatUrethane / polyaspartic — UV, sheen, cleanability

BroadcastFlake or quartz, locked in

Body coatBuild, hide, chemical resistance

Primer / scratchWetting and hold-out

Prepared slabCSP 3–5, clean, dry, sound — the real job

Family	Sounds like on the phone	Watch-outs
Epoxy	Tough, chemical, decorative flake, solid color	Ambering in UV, brittleness vs thermal shock
Urethane / polyaspartic	UV stable, fast, garage-like sheen	Isocyanates, dew point, recoat windows
Urethane cement	Kitchens, washdown, thermal shock, wet	Detailing at drains, moisture vapor
Vinyl ester / novolac	Aggressive chemical, containment	No validated Maverick SKU — escalate to Eric before quoting
MMA	Ultra-fast return to service	Odor, skilled crew, flammability controls
ESD / conductive	Electronics, certain manufacturing	Testing, grounding details, no 'close enough'

Not this
Recommend a system because you like the color chip.
This
Capture use: chemicals, temperature, traffic, hygiene, downtime. Estimating selects.
Not this
Call every shiny floor 'epoxy.'
This
Use the family name from the spec or the quote.

System choice is a technical decision. Admin captures symptoms, not prescriptions.
Cove, joints, drains, and transitions are where systems succeed or fail.
Maverick manufactures 26 SKUs across 9 families — MavCoat, MavCrete, MavTop, MavSeal, MAVPRIME, MavClad, MavPatch/RapidPatch/PolyPatch, MavGrout USP, MavJoint JF, MavTints — and the spec still governs what gets submitted.
