Cortec MCI® Coating for Rebar

Product Description

MCI® Coating for Rebar provides excellent protection in outside storage as well as offering superior corrosion resistance for embedded rebars. This product is water based and environmentally friendly.

The recommended dry film thickness range is 1-2 mils (25- 50 microns). As a soft film, MCI® Coating for Rebar is an excellent choice for long-term indoor protection (up to 5 years*) and short to medium-term (6-24 months*) unsheltered outdoor protection. The product cures to a soft film and eventually hardens. MCI® Coating for Rebar has been tested for adhesion to concrete in accordance with ASTM A 775/A 775 M and showed positive results, confirming that MCI Coating for Rebar does not have to be removed prior to embedding in concrete (see Table 2).
