What does MPC mean in PRODUCTS

Marine Protective Coating (MPC) is a special type of coating that provides protection to surfaces exposed to the harsh conditions of marine environments. MPC's are designed to protect materials from the corrosive effects of saltwater and other elements such as UV rays, moisture, heat, and pollutants. MPC's can provide a durable barrier between the surface material and the marine environment, thus extending its useful life.

Marine Protective Coatings works by creating a barrier that prevents and reduces corrosion caused by saltwater, UV light, pollutants and more. The protective layer provided by these coatings retains their strength over time under various temperatures and pressures, reducing stress on the underlying surface material.

Using marine protective coatings can provide several benefits including increased durability, improved aesthetic appearance, enhanced rust prevention, and can reduce the spread of bacteria. These protective layers also help preserve underlying structures since they prevent deterioration caused by saltwater exposure or other environmental elements.

Marine protective coatings can be applied to any type of metal or concrete surface exposed to saltwater or extreme weather conditions including boats, ships, bridges, docks etc. In addition, it can be applied as interior paint in living spaces such as cabins on marine vessels where anti-mould properties may be necessary due to high humidity levels.

Depending on the product used and environmental factors (e.g., temperature & humidity), most marine protective coatings will typically take about 24 hours to fully dry.

Yes. There are different types of marine protective coatings available that offer specific advantages for each application. Examples include epoxy based paints which offer excellent adhesion with superior gloss retention; Vinyl Ester based paints with excellent chemical resistance; Acrylic Urethane paints with superior flexibility; Chlorinated Rubber Paints which offer excellent toughness; and Polyurethane based paints for superior scratch resistance.

Generally speaking it is recommended to recoat your surface every two years or sooner depending on how much wear and tear it has experienced. Additionally you should check for wear annually during winter months when vessel activity is low so you don’t wait too long before reapplying another coating layer if needed.

Yes. There are some steps one must take prior to applying a MPC coating onto a surface which includes cleaning off dirt and debris as well as removing old coats of paint if present. Specialized equipment might also need to be used such as abrasive blasting systems in order to properly prepare surfaces before coating them with MPCs.

Typically specialized airless spray equipment is required in order for one to apply an even layer across desired surfaces efficiently however other tools might be needed depending on the nature of your project such as rollers for large flat surfaces or brushes for intricate shapes like cabin ceilings.
