Maven Invisible Armor - Hard Surface Defense - Chemical-Repellant Hardened Clear Coat

Ultra-Thin Clear Protective Coating for Hard Surfaces

Maven Invisible Armor Hard Surface Defense is a spray-on, ultra-thin clear ceramic/quartz-based coating designed to protect hard surfaces from moisture, stains, scratches, scuffs, UV exposure, chemicals, mold, mildew, rust, corrosion, and everyday environmental damage. Once cured, it forms a hardened, hydrophobic barrier that helps water bead on the surface rather than penetrate, while maintaining a clear, low-profile finish.

This clear top-coat is ideal for protecting epoxy art and finishes, wood, concrete, tile, mosaics, stone, ceramics, brick, pavers, cured paints, powder-coated surfaces, common metals, hard plastics, countertops, flooring, decks, patios, architectural materials, and more.

What It Does

Maven Invisible Armor creates a long-lasting, non-sacrificial protective layer over the surface. It helps defend against:

• Water damage and moisture intrusion

• Scratches, scuffs, and impact damage

• UV fading and UV-related damage

• Mold and mildew growth

• Rust, tarnishing, corrosion, oxidation, and salt spray

• Chemical exposure from many common acids, bases, solvents, oils, fuels, cleaners, and household spills

• Graffiti, gum, animal waste, bird waste, chlorides, deicers, and acid rain

• Ice adhesion and environmental surface damage

The coating dries clear and is available in gloss or satin finish options. When first applied, the product may appear clear, slightly amber, or slightly rose depending on temperature and humidity, but it dries clear.

How It Works

Maven Invisible Armor uses a nano-scale ceramic/quartz-based coating system that chemically bonds to properly prepared hard surfaces. As it cures, it forms an ultra-thin, hardened, chemically inert, water-repelling barrier. This barrier helps seal the surface against moisture and contaminants while adding a durable protective shell that resists staining, scratching, scuffing, UV exposure, and chemical attack.

Unlike traditional coatings that can add noticeable film build or weight, Maven Invisible Armor is designed to provide nanoscale coverage with a clear, lightweight, low-maintenance finish.

Recommended Surfaces

Use on properly prepared:

• Epoxy art, epoxy tabletops, epoxy countertops, and epoxy flooring

• Finished, painted, or varnished wood

• Tile, mosaics, clay, stone, brick, ceramics, and pavers

• Stainless steel, carbon steel, galvanized steel, iron, aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze

• Powder-coated, primed, painted, or cured coated surfaces

• Hard plastics such as ABS and PVC

• Concrete, concrete blocks, cinder blocks, walls, floors, and countertops

Note: Do not apply over silicone-based paints, silicone sealers, or silicone-contaminated surfaces. The coating does not adhere properly to silicone.

Coverage

Approximate theoretical coverage:

• Metal: 640–800 sq. ft. per gallon

• Concrete: 400–600 sq. ft. per gallon

Coverage varies depending on surface porosity, texture, and application method. Porous or unsealed concrete may require a primer/sealer before applying Maven Invisible Armor.

Application Instructions

1. Prepare the surface.
   Surface must be clean, dry, structurally sound, and free of oil, grease, dust, dirt, rust, scale, silicone, waxes, and other contaminants. Mask off all areas that should not be coated.

2. Test first.
   Always test in an inconspicuous area before full application to confirm adhesion, appearance, and finish compatibility, especially on white paints, powder-coated surfaces, concrete, and previously coated materials.

3. Shake or stir thoroughly.
   No mixing is required, but the product must be vigorously shaken or stirred before use, even if it appears clear. Re-shake or re-stir every 15–20 minutes during application to keep nanoparticles suspended.

4. Apply in proper conditions.
   Apply when surface and air temperatures are between 45°F and 105°F. Relative humidity should be 90% or less, with no expected rain, dew, or moisture exposure for at least 5 hours after application.

5. Spray application is recommended.
   For best finish and coverage, apply by spray. Use a pump sprayer or HVLP sprayer as appropriate for the job. Keep the coating thin and even; do not allow puddling.

6. Apply thin, even coats.
   Typical wet film thickness is about 2–3 mils. For HVLP application, apply two thin coats wet-on-tack, top-to-bottom and then right-to-left, while maintaining a wet edge.

7. Observe recoat window.
   If a second coat is required, apply it within 10–15 minutes while the first coat is still tacky. Do not allow the first coat to dry longer than 15 minutes before recoating, or the second coat may not adhere properly.

8. Allow proper cure time.
   Typical dry and cure schedule under standard conditions:

   • Touch dry: 2–3 hours

   • Dry through: 3–5 hours

   • Light foot traffic: minimum 8–12 hours

   • Moisture exposure: minimum 2 days

   • Full cure: 7 days

Care and Maintenance

Clean coated surfaces with water, a damp rag, mop, or mild cleaner. For commercial floors, use a floor machine in wash mode only with a mild cleaning agent. Do not wax. Avoid abrasive cleansers or abrasive scouring pads.

If a coated area becomes damaged, lightly abrade the affected area with 220-grit sandpaper, clean away dust, and reapply Maven Invisible Armor as a touch-up. Keep traffic off the repaired area for at least 8 hours and keep moisture away while it cures.

Storage

Store unopened containers on shelves or pallets in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, freezing temperatures, moisture, sparks, flames, and other ignition sources. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Recommended storage temperature: 50°F to 80°F.

Shelf life: 12–24 months in factory-delivered, unopened containers.

Do not store above 80°F. Do not apply heat, cut, drill, grind, or weld on or near the container.

Safety and Handling

Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wear appropriate protective gloves, protective clothing, and chemical safety goggles or splash protection. Respiratory protection and fresh-air ventilation may be required, especially during spray application or use in enclosed areas.

This product is a flammable coating solution. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, pilot lights, static discharge, and other ignition sources. No smoking during use.
