MCU Protective Marine Coatings
MCU Corrosion Protection Coatings

MCU-coatings aren't just better......They are a lot better!

“MCU” protective coatings are based on a 100% pure polyurethane resin. It is not comparable to traditional 2 component epoxy acrylic PU coatings or paints, which contain only 20% - 30 % pure PU resin.

“MCU” combines durable flexibility with high impact resistance, outstanding abrasion resistance and excellent corrosion resistance. The technology is used to make products like the soles of sport shoes, which will remain flexible and durable for years, as well as heart valves, car interiors.

Bridge structures coated with MCU coatings in harsh marine environments show no visible cracking after more than 23 years of exposure, giving excellent steel corrosion protection.

MCU protective coatings are used internationally in all sorts of industrial and marine environments the high technical specification of all the products ensures a high level of anti corrosion protection.

MCU have a proven track record in giving excellent corrosion protection on all sorts of marine craft, from Tankers, Ferries, RORO ships, through to smaller boats, yachts and canal boats.

The paints/coatings are suitable for use on a wide range of surfaces and applications, including zinc coating steel, sealing concrete, and osmosis protection for GRP.

Outstanding abrasion resistance using thin film “MCU” technology was recently proven once more on the decks of RORO vessels from the largest Dutch ship owner Wagenborg. A 150μm “MCU” system outperformed ceramic and high solid epoxy systems at more than 10 times our film thickness. These RORO vessels load 60 ton containers on steel wheels resulting in extremely high impact and fast abrasion. After 1 year of testing, “MCU” was the only intact system.

 

Why do MCU-Coatings perform so well? MCU-coatings resists the 5 major causes of premature corrosion and coating failure:

1, Cracking

MCU-coatings have an elongation capability up to 40% that LASTS, even after long term exposure. MCU-coatings also pass ¼ inch Mandrell Bend test without cracking.

2, Corrosion

MCU-coatings combine flexibility with strength. Less than < 30mg loss in the ASTM D 4060 Taber Wheel Abrasion test (1000cycli, 1kg) and many applications like bulk carriers, weather decks, power dams, gates, warehouse floors, etc. all prove the excellent corrosion protection of MCU-coatings.

3, Blistering

MCU-technology combines excellent adhesion with low permeability, even at low DFT. Many tank lining projects have proven the excellent blister resistance of MCU-Coatings.

4, Chemical Attack

The highly chemical resistant pure resins used in ‘MCU’ coatings combined with a high cross linking structure make these coatings very chemical resistant. This is why these coatings are so popular for use in waste water treatment, chemical, petrochemical and pulp & paper plants.

5, UV Attack

The aliphatic MCU-topcoats have a colour and gloss retention which is comparable to 2 component epoxy PU coatings.
