Ultra-Performance, Waterborne Super-Acrylate Asset Protection System

"The Longest Life & Most Cost Effective Waterborne Coating &

Waterproofing System on the Market Today-and it is Bio-Safe® "

Product Description: The highest performance, organic growth resistant water-borne waterproofing paint and coating family in North America. The Bio-Safe® MaxLife ™ System develops an extremely strong film yet is designed with true elastomeric properties. As daily & seasonal temperature and moisture changes occur, the MaxLife™ coatings move with the substrate to maintain a weather-tight seal yet is breathable as necessary to minimize moisture buildup in the wall. The MaxLife ™ System exhibits tremendous toughness with maximum durability and exhibits maximum longevity. Being very water repellent & UV resistant, apply for optimum performance over new & severely weathered substrates -- including wood (rough or smooth finished), masonry (stucco, block, concrete, etc.) and galvanizing.

In fact, it is the incredible longevity and weatherability of the paint system on demanding projects over the last 30 years that lead us to this paint and coating family name -- MaxLife™. The name "MaxLife" truly says it all. Superior adhesion, low temperature film formation, excellent alkali resistance and color retention makes this an ideal product for maximizing service life on vertical surfaces -- in light and deep colors -- even in the toughest of coastal, marine, mountain and desert environments. The MaxLife™ systems even outperformed urethane & epoxy systems for use on the U.S. Navy fiberglass ships and shipboard enclosures!

Project Profiles & Product Uses:

The MaxLife™ Family is designed for tough commercial, industrial, coastal and residential projects. Originally designed for offshore oil platforms and other critical commercial uses, its weather resistance in high humidity environments -- even wave action in appropriate thickness on fiberglass as in the case of the Navy -- sets it apart from all other water-borne systems.

Its resistance to most acids and bases-organic and inorganic -- makes the MaxLife™

Coatings very useful for protecting tankage and piping in manymunicipal water treatment plant, paper & pulp plant and food plant applications. In many cases MaxLife™ would be a better option than industrial urethanes in terms of longevity, adhesion and its ability to "move & give" with substrate movement during daily and seasonal temperature swings. MaxLife™ has excellent low temperature resistance and can be applied down to 35 degrees F (care must be exercised in these low temp applications for obvious reasons).

Lowest Life Cycle Costs of All ....Interestingly, a major use has been large multi-family housing, large gated communities and shopping centers since these systems have afforded unmatched longevity and significant ease of recoat when repainting is finally necessary. Sprinklers, physical abuse, high humidity, organic growth, wind-driven rain and direct southerly sun exposures are all common problems that MaxLife™ has been used to solve in these projects. Significant test programs by some of the largest companies in these market segments have demonstrated that the MaxLife™ Coatings outperform all other products -- including ultra-high build elastomerics -- by a significant margin with tremendous cost savings recognized from the Life Cycle Cost perspective. This was proven by an 8 year test conducted by a NYSE listed company….owning hundreds of shopping centers & offices...from Florida to Indiana to California.

The flawless performance of the Bio-Safe® MaxLife™ Family on San Francisco's famed PIER 39 over the last 21 years is a perfect example of completely changing the whole maintenance cycle of a project in the toughest of weather and direct water exposure environments. PIER 39 undertook a 3 year comparative test program before settling upon our MaxLife™ systems for all wood, galvanized steel and masonry applications. Prior to MaxLife™/Bio-Control Prime & Seal® use, all previous premium paints and coatings failed in the 1-2 year timeframe with major organic growth issues. Amazingly, PIER 39 looked great up to and including the 14 year point when it was finally repainted again with the MaxLife system. It is important to realize that these buildings took full wave action during storms as well as frequent, rapid swings from fog to high heat and back to fog leading to rapid shrinkage and expansion which is very tough on coatings. It should be noted that PIER 39 saved about 10 paint jobs - millions of dollars in maintenance costs. To achieve this maximum longevity, Routine Maintenance was conducted to repair dings & damage as it occurred. The MaxLife™ performance has proven itself to be the very best of all systems in this and any type of aggressive weather environment - and to last 14 years on wood, masonry and galvanized surfaces taking waves was beyond even FSC's expectations!!!

Typical MaxLife ™ Substrates Include The Following: New wood, Aged wood, Plywood, Most wood composite materials, Stucco & plaster, Smooth concrete walls, Sealed high density concrete block, Aged or rough galvanized surfaces, Fiberglass & PVC (scuff sanded & primed first), Gutters, Metal or wood roofing, Masonry tile roofing (scuff sand glazed surfaces first), Properly primed steel surfaces, Metal siding including previously Kynar or baked enamel coated panels, Railing, Cementatious composite siding (such as Hardiplank) and Most pressure-treated wood products. For horizontal 2"X 6" decking, exposed rafter tails & support beams, use 3 coats GNM 2200 Series System and recoat every 2-3 years (use Poly-Grit™ aggregate in coating for improved non-slip properties on walking surfaces).

Selected Projects To Date: San Francisco PIER 39 Amusement Center/Shopping Complex, VA Hospitals, Large LA Museum Complex in Santa Monica, New Plan Excel Shopping Centers, Wal-Mart, Pacific Plaza in San Diego, Paragon Properties (numerous multi-family residential in the Southeast and Midwest U.S.), UCSD (specified on all new projects after 8 years of performance evaluations), Scripps Institute Of Oceanography, San Diego Water Treatment Facilities, LaJolla Shores Luxury Condos, U.S. Navy (specified for new fiberglass ships & enclosures), Playmor Townhomes (Rancho Bernardo, Ca.), Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints (various chapels & Orlando Temple), Rancho Water District (Temecula, Ca.), Olivenhein Water District (large concrete tanks), U.S. Coast Guard Lighthouse Facilities, Ferrari Property Mgmt.

Surfactant Bleed - A Common Issue with LOW VOC paints - Must Wash Off: We recommend all medium and dark paints be washed with FSC's The Bio-Cleaner and power washed within 7 days of application. Surfactant bleed is a situation that occurs with low VOC pigments and paint bases - looking like an amber or honey looking fluid that appears on the paint surface. The darker and/or deeper the color, the more likely this is to occur - but it also can happen with whites and pastels under certain weather conditions including 1) temps below 75 degrees and higher humidity - especially when applied late in the day, or 2) when you have high surface temps (85°F & up) and high humidity (75% & up) or 3) when windy conditions occur that cause a premature skin formation before the water can escape. The solution is always the same - wash it off with The Bio-Cleaner and a power washer before it permanently stains and/or affects the sheen. Painting contractors must plan for this situation in their bids.

Sheens & Finishes Available: Flat to Semi-Flat (MaxLife Velvet), Low sheen/matte finish (GNM 2200), Satin (MaxLife 2800) and Semi-gloss (MaxLife 2400). Stains are in low-matte finish (W-100 Series). Deep & Clear Base colors in small quantities: Satin & Semi-Gloss only.

Temperature of Application

The systems can be applied at temps as low as 40° F @50° RH. However, the sheen or reflectance will increase markedly on GNM, W-100 & MaxLife Velvet Systems applied under 55° and/ or high humidity as a result of slower dry and cure rates.

Water-borne Wood and Concrete Stains, "Clear" Topcoat: The W-100 Series Wood and Masonry Stain™ is the high performance, stain product of the MaxLife ™ Paint And Coating Family with a matte finish. It is generally pigmented as a full body stain with a boosted "UV" package, non-yellowing clear coat also available from FSC. The Ultimate "UV" W-100 Clear is used as aclear topcoat to protect underlying finishes (2 coats necessary) or to blend with any paint of the MaxLife ™ family to increase transparency or grain "reveal" and to achieve desired custom looks.

The "Ultimate UV" W-100 Clear also makes a great low sheen interior wood finish where tannin bleed is not a concern; 2) decorative masonry or 3) "beaux finishes" of various types. All surfaces must be wax free when applied. Always test first for applicability.

General Surface Preparation: Remove all dirt, grease and chalk with appropriate cleaners and degreasers. Power wash with 2000 psi or greater power wash with the use of appropriate cleaners and degreasers for best chalk removal and surface cleaning. Allow 24 hour or longer dry before applying appropriate primer and/or MaxLife™ topcoat. Surface and below surface moisture content must bebelow 15% per moisture meter; sample all exposures to ensure proper moisture conditions. Caution: If systems are applied over wet or high moisture substrates, bubbles and blisters can occur within a few days during the coating curing process. Blisters & bubbles can also occur weeks later should sudden warming occur to drive the moisture from the underlying wood fibers or masonry matrix.

Sanding of glazed surfaces or hard enamels required prior to applying primers or topcoats. Aluminum, copper, galvanizing and other metals require special etching primers and treatment prior to coating -- call FSC for instructions. Always TEST adhesion of coatings & primers to surfaces and surface preparation & coating procedure prior to attempting entire project .

General Priming Recommendations:

1) Prime ferrous metal (steel) with Zero-Rustâ (up to 2450 hr. ASTM B-117 Salt Spray) or RUSTOPâ (up to 3888 hr. Salt Spray) Black or Red Oxide. Power tool cleaning with PREP STEP surface conditioner is recommended to remove heavy or flake rust. Topcoat within 2 days (24 hr. in direct sun or high heat ). Scuff sand if beyond time window. We can use Zero-Rustâ spray cans for small touch - it is fully compatible with RUSTOPâ.

2) Spot prime rusty galvanized metal with RUSTOPâ Black or Red Oxide after treatment with FSC's 79 Metal Prep. Topcoat within 2 days (24 hrs in direct sun, high heat areas). Scuff sand if beyond window.

3) For areas of heavy growth or high humidity exposures or surface preciously coated with linseed oil or other natural drying oils , bleach surface, power wash and apply Mildew Sealer™, Bio-Control Prime & Sealâ (BEST) or 2-50 Super Prime™ with additional factory fungicide loading. Topcoat within 4 days or scuff sand to achieve proper adhesion.

4) On tannin bleeding wood, water stained plywood, water stained gypsum board or surfaces showing rust bleed through previous coatings, use 2-50 Super Prime ™ (white or clear) or Zero-Rustâ.

5) For unsealed stucco, block or masonry, apply Prime & Seal. It makes a perfect primer/sealer for stucco or concrete surfaces before topcoating with MaxLifeâ. For open block, use 100% acrylic block filler. For patching or repairing stucco or other masonry, prime with Prime & Sealâ followed by SCR5 modified cement patch or All-Deck Level Quick™ for enhanced adhesion and durability.

6) For peeling paint, scrape & remove loose edges until paint is fully adhering;bevel sand tight edges to remove edge lips and minimize edge reveal through the coating system; brush apply Mildew Sealerâ, Prime&Sealâ, Bio-Control Prime & Sealâ or 2-50 Super Prime™ to the beveled edge; apply full coat of primer by spray (same primer as applied in the previous step) to entire surface and topcoat. If field of coating is not bonding, primers can pull off loose paint due to weight of film and shrinkage of film as dries.

7) For recoating metal siding or roofing, scuff sand entire surface, power wash residue and apply Mildew Sealer ™ & Bio-Control Prime & Sealâ to prime to entire surface.
