How it works

MCI® EcoRainbow® Architectural Coating is a water-based, acrylic coating that utilizes a complex mixture of organic corrosion inhibitors and various additives to offer superior adhesion to masonry and concrete while also offering corrosion protection when applied directly to metal. MCI® EcoRainbow® Architectural Coating possesses good water vapor permeability and increased resistance to ultraviolet light for good performance and appearance year-round.

Where to use

• All reinforced, precast, prestressed, post-tensioned, or marine concrete structures  
• Concrete piers, piles, pillars, pipes, and utility poles  
• Restoration and repair of all reinforced concrete commercial and civil engineered structures  
• Exposed metal surfaces  
• Exposed vertical concrete surfaces such as building facades and decorative walls

Advantages

• Water-based and non-flammable  
• Acts as a sealer, preventing penetration of water, chloride ingress, and carbonation of the concrete  
• Improves the appearance of buildings and structural elements  
• Has excellent adhesion to concrete, masonry, and metals, and even provides a source of corrosion inhibitors when applied directly to reinforcement and other metal surfaces  
• Forms a tough, non-flammable, protective barrier that is thermally stable at continuous temperatures of -40 to 300 °F (-40 to 149 °C) once cured  
• Resistant to ultraviolet light for optimal outdoor performance without cracking or chipping upon prolonged exposure to sunlight  
• Allows for surface inspection after application (clear version)  
• Available in colored versions to match surrounding surface or color of substrate  
• Certified under EN 1504-2 (2+ system) for surface protection of concrete
