Description
M-CORR 400 - UV Stable Polyurethane Top Coat
M-CORR 400 – UV Stable Polyurethane Top Coat is a solvent based, two pack coating. After cure, the material provides a high gloss and durable finish.
Typically used in conjunction with epoxy coating systems as a colour stable top-coat. It allows quick turnaround due to its rapid film hardening properties and offers excellent chemical and solvent resistance.
The material has good anti-corrosion properties and is designed for the long-term protection of steel and concrete structures against weathering and environmental corrosion.
Typical Uses
- External pipe protection
- Storage tank protection
- External pumps, valves protection
- Structural steel work
Please contact us to discuss your project before purchasing this material to confirm suitability.
Application Guide
- All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such as MEK or similar type solvent.
- All surfaces must be abrasive blasted to ISO 8501/4 Standard SA2.5 (SSPC SP10/ NACE 2) minimum blast profile of 75 microns using an angular.
- Once blast cleaned the surface must be degreased and cleaned using MEK or similar type solvent.
- All surfaces must be coated before gingering or oxidation.
- All surfaces must be hydro-blasted using clean water at 12,000 psi (850bar) to NACE 5 (SSPC SP13 WJ3-WJ1).
- All surfaces must be coated before gingering or oxidation occurs.
- All oil and grease must be removed from the surface using an appropriate cleaner such as MEK.
- All surfaces must be mechanically abraded using handheld grinders to ISO 8501/4 ST3 (SSPC SP3 ST3).
- Once abraded, the surface must be degreased and cleaned using MEK or similar type material.
- All surfaces must be repaired before gingering or oxidation occurs.
PLEASE NOTE: Soluble salt contaminated surfaces the substrate must be pressure washed with clean water and checked for salt contamination this process may need to be repeated several times.
Existing Concrete
- If the concrete surface is contaminated, pressure wash using clean water.
- Once the concrete is dry lightly abrasive blast or scarify taking care not to expose the aggregate.
- Clean all dust and debris from the surface and take several moisture readings and prime with M-PRIME 100 – Low Viscosity Epoxy Concrete Primer or M-PRIME 104 – Damp Tolerant Concrete Primer dependent on the moisture readings obtained.
- Apply M-PRIME 100 or M-PRIME 104 at a target wet film of 150 microns, allow to cure before overcoating.
- For very porous surfaces a second coat of primer may be required.
New Concrete
- Allow new concrete to cure for a minimum of 21 days, lightly abrasive blast or scarify to remove any surface laitance.
- Clean all dust and debris from the surface and take several moisture readings and prime with M-PRIME 100 – Low Viscosity Epoxy Concrete Primer or M-PRIME 104 – Damp Tolerant Concrete Primer dependent on the moisture readings obtained.
- Apply M-PRIME 100 or M-PRIME 104 at a target wet film of 150 microns, allow to cure before overcoating.
- For very porous surfaces a second coat of primer may be required.

Prior to mixing please ensure the following:
- The base component is at a temperature between 15-25°C.
- Do not apply the material when the ambient or substrate temperature is below 5°C.
- Transfer the contents of the Activator unit into the Base container.
- Using a low speed electric paddle mixer, mix the 2 components until a uniform material free of any streaks is achieved.
- Once mixing is complete use the mixed paste as soon possible after mixing.
- Use all mixed material within 20 -25 minutes at 20°C.
Brush & Roller
- Pour the mixed material into a paint kettle or paint tray (this will maximise the usable life).
- Stripe coat all edges, joints & corners.
- Once the stripe coat has cured and is capable of being overcoated, apply a basecoat at a minimum wet film thickness 100 microns.
- Once the basecoat has cured sufficiently, approximately 90 minutes at 20°C, apply a topcoat at a minimum wet film thickness of 100 microns.
