MAINCOTE™ EC-11

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.

Key Features
  • Surface tolerant, allowing the coating of marginally-prepared rusty steel
  • Excellent corrosion and water resistance
  • Elastomeric coating can bridge small, expanding and contracting cracks in concrete
  • Excellent adhesion to concrete, clean and rusty steel, and galvanized steel
  • Flexibility and impact resistance, even at low temperatures
  • High film build in a single coat (e.g., 10–20 mil dry)
  • Low coalescent demand permits formulation at very low VOC levels (< 50 g/L)
  • Self-crosslinking mechanism provides dirt pick-up resistance
  • APEO-free (made without the use of APEO surfactants)
