How does the MCUCoatings Technology improve Long Term Performance? - Surface tolerance - improved adhesion - long-term flexibility

ASTM D522: Lasting Flexibility Mandrel Bend Pass 5 mm cracking paint is THE major general cause of corrosion

ASTM D2794: Impact Resistance Pass 150 inch LBS 40% elongation without cracking Combination of flexibility & adhesion = durability

How does the MCU-Coatings Technology improve Long Term Performance?

ASTM D 4541 & 3359 Adhesion Test by Saipem Criteria for ENI Saipem is 5 MpA MCU Coatings applied on various plates with and without QuickCure had values up to 25 MpA 5 X acceptable criteria & the glue failed for 95% - 100%!
