It can be formulated into highly durable topcoats and high gloss direct-to-metal (DTM) finish coats. When formulated at 25 g/L VOC or below, MAINCOTE™ 5045C Emulsion offers improvements in these properties versus many current DTM finishes formulated at higher VOC levels of 100 g/L and above. The low coalescent demand of MAINCOTE™ 5045C Emulsion allows compliance with stringent VOC regulations. MAINCOTE™ 5045C contains no intentionally added APEO (alkylphenol ethoxylate) surfactants and no intentionally added PFAS.

MAINCOTE™ AE-58 is an aqueous acrylic emulsion copolymer which can be crosslinked with waterborne dispersions of epoxy resin in two-component acrylic/epoxy coatings. The resulting acrylic/epoxy coatings have properties such as low VOC, long pot life, and outstanding hardness, UV durability and solvent/chemical resistance. The high performance coatings can be used in a variety of interior and exterior applications for metal and concrete surfaces, such as institutional wall coatings and industrial metal primers, topcoats and direct-to-metal (DTM) coatings.

MAINCOTE™ AEH-10 is a waterborne dispersion of an acrylic-epoxy hybrid polymer designed for high performance two-component coatings useful in residential, commercial and industrial coatings applications. The unique acrylic-epoxy hybrid technology facilitates the formulation of low VOC coatings with long pot-life, fast dry and hardness development, and excellent durability properties including resistance to chemicals, solvents and weathering. Versatility in the selection of curing agent allows the formulation of coatings with a range of properties. MAINCOTE AEH-10 Resin is an epoxy-functional material that can be crosslinked with typical epoxy hardeners, including amine-based hardeners and acid-functional crosslinkers such as acrylic latexes. The ease of formulation and excellent balance of properties facilitated by MAINCOTE AEH-10 Resin make it an excellent choice for coatings used in a variety of residential, commercial and industrial applications.

MAINCOTE™ EC-11 is an acrylic polymer recommended for use in elastomeric coatings for industrial maintenance applications on both metal and cementitious substrates. When formulated as an anti-corrosive coating, MAINCOTE™ EC-11 Acrylic Emulsion can be applied to both clean and marginally-prepared rusty steel, and imparts excellent corrosion resistance, adhesion, low temperature flexibility and dirt pickup resistance. When applied to concrete surfaces, MAINCOTE™ EC-11 Acrylic Emulsion provides excellent resistance to blistering and the stresses imparted by thermal cycling. It is especially useful in applications where prevention of spalling and scaling of the concrete surface, caused by exposure to water and deicing chemicals, is required. The proper formulation and elastomeric nature of MAINCOTE™ EC-11 Acrylic Emulsion facilitates the production of coatings with excellent flexibility, very low VOC levels (< 50 g/L), and the ability to be applied in thick films (e.g., 10-20 mils dry) without sagging or mudcracking.

MAINCOTE™ HG-31 is a binder and resin classified under chemical mixtures and blends.

MAINCOTE™ HG-54D has established the performance standard for acrylic waterborne maintenance paint vehicles. It can be formulated into primers and gloss topcoats which are designed for commercial, institutional, and industrial maintenance markets. The full gloss capability, corrosion resistance, flow, hardness, and chemical resistance characteristics imparted by MAINCOTE™ HG-54D Acrylic Resin in a waterborne finish are typical of those associated with conventional solvent-based maintenance systems. Primer formulations exhibit stability with commonly used corrosion-inhibiting pigments.

MAINCOTE™ HG-750 is a binder and resin used in industrial markets.

MAINCOTE™ HG-56 is an aqueous emulsion designed as a binder for maintenance coatings. While it is compositionally similar to MAINCOTE™ HG-54D Acrylic Resin, its somewhat larger particle size mandates that it be formulated in a different manner. The formulator should pay particular attention to the guidelines in this brochure.

MAINCOTE™ HG-86 is a binder and resin used in primers, traffic paints, and waterborne paints. It features early rain resistance, easy application, excellent glass bead retention, fast drying, high durability, low VOC, night visibility, and prolongs wear life.

MAINCOTE™ HG-86ER is a binder and resin classified under chemical mixtures and blends.

MAINCOTE™ IC-1001 Resin is an acrylic-styrene copolymer with a high degree of flexibility and a distinct hydrophobic composition. This versatile binder can be combined with low thermal conductivity fillers to form waterborne thermal insulation coatings with high pigment volume concentrations (PVC), high volume solids and low VOC. MAINCOTE IC-1001 Resin offers uniform cure in high build insulation coatings.

MAINCOTE™ IC-1002 is a hydrophobic acrylic-styrene copolymer with excellent flexibility and adhesion to metal substrates. This versatile binder can be combined with low thermal conductivity fillers to form waterborne thermal insulation coatings with high pigment volume concentrations (PVC), high volume solids and low VOC levels (< 25 g/L). MAINCOTE™ IC-1002 Emulsion offers uniform cure in high build insulation coatings.

MAINCOTE™ PR-71 is used for all protective coating applications, the first need is for adhesion to and passivation of the substrate. In the past, difficult-to-adhere-to substrates were often treated with a vinyl wash primer to passivate the substrate and provide adhesion for subsequent coats. These vinyl wash primers are increasingly difficult to use as they are very low in solids, high in VOC, and contain toxic pigments. In contrast, MAINCOTE™ PR-71 Waterborne Acrylic Resin allows the coatings manufacturer to supply primers that not only adhere to difficult metallic substrates, but also give good corrosion resistance over carbon steel. This resin's ability to be topcoated by most solvent-based coating systems makes it a very versatile water-based primer.
