MCR 130S (Tropical)

High-build, epoxy-based protective coating for marine

structures
Product Properties
 2-component, solvent-free epoxy mastic for high-build application
 Moisture, surface tolerant - can be applied on damp substrates
 Self-leafing glass flakes for increased impermeability
 Very good adhesion on prepared substrates
 Excellent chemical and abrasion resistance in acid, alkali, fresh or salt-water environments

Areas of Application
 Protective coating for marine, industrial and aggressive environments
 Ideal for structures in tidal zone areas
 Suitable for structural steel, sheet piling, tank linings, jetties, bridges, underwater areas, ballast tanks,
topsides and decks
