MAINCOTE™ HG-56 Emulsion

What is MAINCOTE™ HG-56 Emulsion?

An aqueous acrylic copolymer designed as a binder for industrial maintenance coatings. It can be formulated into primers, direct-to-metal finishes, and gloss topcoats which are designed for commercial, institutional, and industrial maintenance markets. Due to its hardness, MAINCOTE™ HG-56 Emulsion is also useful in factory-applied coatings for metal substrates.

Uses

Industrial maintenance finishes for steel and concrete
Commercial architectural finishes for steel and concrete
General industrial finishes for metal
Transportation coatings (e.g., railcar, shipping container)
