What is Moisture Cured Technology?
 

Single-component Liquid Coating	+    Humidity	=    Polyurea

A dense, pore-free, chemical resistant coating

How does the MCU-Coatings technology
reduce your "Total Project Costs"?

Reduce direct short term costs like

• Total material cost by reducing Quantity
• Implementation cost by saving Time

Reduce indirect short-term costs by saving Time

Reduce long-term costs by
• improving Quality Assurance
• improving Long Term Performance

MCU-Coatings offers you a technology that:
 

• Saves up to 50% Time
  
  
• Reduces Material Costs up to 50%
  
  
• Guarantees Fastest Project
  Completion Time

  Long Term Performance

Typical reduced direct short term cost,
where cost is directly related to quantity

Reduced surface preparation materials like abrasives

Reduced application materials like brushes

Reduced the amount of coating and its cost per
m2 depending on:
• Blast profile
• Application loss
• Required DFT
• Overspray
• 1 or 2 component
• Cost per Ltr

How does the MCU-Coatings Technology Reduce Quantity?

• Thin film surface tolerant technology,
  Typically only 60% of DFT required compared to traditional systems
• +/- 50% higher tolerance to salts, less cleaning
• Tolerates medium flash rusting, no reblasting
• Reduced practical coverage loss
• Adhesion to low surface profile:
  *15% - 55% savings on primer paint consumption due to loss in blast profile
  * Faster blasting using less grit and reducing waste costs
• One component: 5% to 10% savings and reduced waste

Typical direct short term costs where cost is directly related to Time

Access equipment: rental
Labour cost:
• Surface preparation : blasting, cleaning, re-blasting, roughening between coats
• Application: missing, induction time, stripe coating, spot prime, number of coats, clean up material, cure time, application method.
• Inspection
• Performance and rendability of the contractor
• Accessibility

Typical indirect short term costs
where cost is directly related to Time

• Road blocking
• Shut down
• Hindering or delaying further construction work
• Stop hot work
• Ship or systems out of service

This cost can be 10 times higher
than the total project cost

How does MCU-Coatings Technology
save Time?

No weather restrictions
• Apply in 6% to 99% humidity where others are limited to 87%
• No dewpoint restrictions
• Recommended for immersion in 30 min.
• Short cure times, even at –12 C. traditional paint does not cure or cures for days under 5C

Overcoating in 20 min. with Quick Cure
No induction time
25-30% higher spray speed. The paint film builds up fast with MCU Coatings

How does MCU-Coatings Technology
save Time?

Best surface tolerance
• +/- 50% higher tolerance to salts
• Application to damp substrates >> no waiting
• High tolerance to minimal surface prep.,

Tolerates medium flash rusting >> no re-blasting
• Compatible with most old coatings without abrading
• Adhesion to green concrete
• No inspection required for humidity, temp., dew point, etc. >> less quality control required
