MCU MIOMASTIC
Product and technology description
MCU-MIOMASTIC is a single component moisture curing intermediate coating, containing MIO and it is also a (non-UV) topcoat for new
construction and maintenance projects. MCU-MIOMASTIC has proven outstanding barrier performance when used for immersion-, splash
zone or atmospheric exposure service. MCU-MIOMASTIC is available in a light colour to facilitate interior tank inspection. MCU-MIOMASTIC is
also a primer for non-ferro. It is ideal for use as a tie coat over most existing coatings and can be used in red lead encapsuation systems.
MCU-MIOMASTIC is also a standard primer for concrete.
