As the graph indicates, MCI-2018 provides >92% protection from corrosion when compared to untreated concrete and outperforms the competitive products.

APPLICATION
Surfaces should be free of standing water, surface dirt, dust, oils, grease, curing compounds, efflourescence, laitance, and other contaminants. MCI-2018 may be applied to damp surfaces, although dry surfaces are preferred to achieve maximum penetration into the substrate.

Application can be performed using airless sprayer, roller, or brush. When a brush or roller is used, repeated applications should be made until the surface remains moist for a few minutes. If an airless is used, applica- tion should continue until the substrate is thoroughly saturated. Sprayers should be fitted with solvent
hoses and gaskets.

For best results, two applications are recommended, with the second application being applied using a wet on wet technique, i.e.: the surface is wet from the first application, but not glossy. During application, precau- tions should be taken to protect the surrounding area from overspray and run-off.

CONSIDERATIONS
•Stir thoroughly before use
•Should be applied to sound, clean concrete that is free of oils, dirt, sealers, coatings, paints, membranes, or asphalt
•Should only be applied when temperatures are between 40-100°F (5-37°C)
•Should not be applied on extremely windy days when evaporation of the solvent would be too rapid
•Fresh concrete should be allowed to cure for 28 days before application
•Allow repair material to fully cure before applying MCI-2018
•If a coating will be used over MCI-2018, a seven day waiting period is recommended before application of that coating. A compatibility test should be performed prior to application
•Allow 24 hours for curing if a membrane will be applied over MCI-2018
•Should not be used on structures under hydrostatic pressure
