Applicators know that the biggest barrier to productivity isn’t paint — it’s weather. Traditional systems stop work when humidity rises, when temperatures shift, or when the dew point closes in. MCU-Coatings® eliminates those constraints.

With MCU-Coatings®, you keep working when others are forced to stop. Fewer delays, fewer climate restrictions, fewer frustrations — and far more predictable planning. Whether you’re a small crew or a major shutdown contractor, MCU’s weather-tolerant chemistry helps you deliver more square metres per day and more completed projects each year.

Weather delays are bad but mixing delays and pot-life waste are just as costly.

MCU-Coatings® removes these risks with ready-to-use, single-component resin:

• no pot-life countdown
• no wasted mixed litres
• no missed induction
• no batch failures
• no rapid setup/cleanup cycles linked to weather or temperature

Because MCU products don’t “go off” in the tin, your productivity stays high, even when the weather swings unpredictably throughout the day.

This is where MCU-Coatings® genuinely separates from traditional epoxies and polys:

• Apply from –20°C to 50°C
• Works in 6%–99% humidity
• Touch-dry in 10 minutes
• Rain-tolerant soon after application
• Recoat in as little as 45 minutes with MCU-Quickcure®

Humidity? Dew? Temperature swings?
MCU Coatings® keeps curing when other coatings fail.

For applicators, this means:

• full productive days, even in marginal weather
• no scrambling to stop work when humidity spikes
• no waiting until 11am for conditions to improve
• drastically reduced climate-related rework

MCU-Coatings® gives you more workable hours and more reliable days, a major advantage for shutdowns, outages, and critical-path projects.

Traditional coatings often require blasting windows that weather constantly interrupts.

MCU-Coatings® performs on:

• ST2 / ST3 mechanical prep
• UHP water jetting
• Wet abrasive blasting (WAB)
• Sound existing coatings
• Weathered steel (after proper cleaning)

This flexibility keeps projects progressing even when environmental conditions restrict blasting or full abrasive prep.

MCU primers routinely achieve 15–19 MPa adhesion, strong enough for long-term service in C5 conditions, even with practical surface preparation.

MCU-Coatings® behaves differently from traditional systems and that’s a good thing. Its viscosity, fillers and wetting characteristics allow work in conditions that would shut down epoxies. We provide fast, respectful application guidance (not training) to help crews adjust:

• tip sizes & pressures
• WFT/DFT expectations
• overspray control
• sequencing around weather
• optimising build in humid conditions

Most applicators master MCU-Coatings® in minutes, not days, because the system is forgiving, simple and highly predictable.

Across the industry, 85–97% of project cost is labour, access and time — not the coating itself.

With MCU-Coatings®, applicators benefit from:

• full, uninterrupted working days
• fewer weather cancellations
• fewer climate-related hold-points
• fewer incomplete sections
• fewer repeat mobilisations
• lower rework due to climate failures
• faster handover to the client

Real-world projects consistently show 20–30% total project efficiency gains, sometimes higher in coastal, humid, or seasonally unstable regions.

For shutdowns, outages and critical-path repairs, MCU-Coatings® provides a significant competitive edge.

More coats = more weather risk.
Less coats = fewer opportunities for conditions to go wrong.

MCU-Coatings® is a two-coat, 225 μm system that achieved +25 years to first maintenance in C5-VH when applied over steel prepared to ST3 from a rusted starting condition.

For applicators, this means:

• shorter weather exposure windows
• fewer days on site
• fewer curing dependencies
• less scaffold & access cost
• less stop–start schedule disruption
• dramatically reduced climate risk

Two coats doesn’t just save time; it removes weather from the critical path.

MCU-Coatings® gives applicators the ability to:

• hand over jobs sooner
• avoid costly rework
• maintain schedule certainty
• reduce claims and variations
• meet client KPIs on shutdowns and critical works

This creates stronger client relationships and positions your business as a high-performance, low-risk contractor. A major advantage in competitive tenders where reliability and uptime matter as much as cost.
