Protective Coating

Anti-Carbonation Coating

Monneli Mantocolor W

Elastomeric, Protective, Anti-Carbonation & Waterproof Coating

Uses
MANTOCOLOR W can be used as follows:
Protective and decorative coating for reinforced concrete structures against carbonation
Due to its elasticity, it can be used to coat structural elements subject to small deformation due to mechanical and thermal stresses as it will bridge possible minor cracks
Protective coating for asbestos cement sheets
Flexible waterproofing coating for variety of substrates such as tiles, zinc, aluminum, asbestos, cement fibre, asphalt, timber etc.
MANTOCOLOR W can be used in all types of structures including commercial, industrial, car parks, bridges, etc.

Technical Information
Product Description

MANTOCOLOR W is elastomeric water based protective coating based on high quality acrylic co-polymer. It is used as a protective, waterproof and decorative coating for concrete surfaces.

 

Totally impermeable to water and resists aggressive atmospheric agents, yet it allows the substrate to breathe.

Advantages
  • Allows vapor to escape from the structure.
  • Excellent characteristics of adhesion to the support, with high ageing resistance
  • Protects concrete against acid rains, chloride ions, sulphates and atmospheric gases
  • Resistance against diluted acids and alkalis
  • High UV-resistant, therefore, maintaining color integrity.
  • Environment friendly, safe to be used in enclosed areas.
  • Durable and economical
  • After total curing, MANTOCOLOR W coating can be washed with water and detergents.
  • Suitable for applications on new and existing structures.
Packaging, Coverage / Consumption

Packaging:

MANTOCOLOR W is supplied in 20 Liters plastic containers.

 

Consumption:

5m²/Liter per coat according to the porosity of support.

Shelf Life & Storage

Storage:

Keep the product in dry covered shed at temperature between +5ºC and +30ºC. In these conditions, the product shelf life is 12 month.

Application Information
Instructions for use

Surface preparation

The surface should be sound, dry, clean and free from grease, loose particles, oil, curing compound, laitance, or any other contaminating material.
Proper preparation for the surface is quite essential in order to achieve a good bonding with the coating. Grit blasting can be the best tool to achieve a clean surface. In case of algae or any other growth contamination, clean the surface with biocide after completing the grit blasting process. After grit blasting, the surface should be cleaned of all loose material by blowing off with dry oil free compressed air.

Remove all traces of curing compound and shuttering oil. Do not use paint remover or solvent to clean the surface. In case of deep contamination which is shown after blasting, clean the surface with steam using suitable detergent solution (in as 2% concentrate of non-ionic detergent in water).

ACRYFIL, an acrylic based pinhole filler can be used for filling small pin holes and for levelling minor irregularities in order to achieve a uniform surface. If the surface contains medium size blow holes, minor irregularities or cracks, fill these holes using a suitable cementitious flexible plaster like RASOCELL. Window glasses, grass, plants, joint sealants, painted areas should be well protected during application.

Priming

On the clean dry surface apply BETOCURE R as the primer using brush or proper spray machine with a rate of 5m²/ Liter. For porous substrates use IDROSIL XS, a Silane Siloxane primer which penetrates deeply into the porous substrate and reacts to produce a bonded hydrophobic lining to the pores. Apply by brush, roller or low-pressure spray at a rate of 6-8m²/Liter depending on the porosity of the substrate. Alternatively, IDROSIL L, an acrylic water based primer can be used as a concrete sealer. It is recommend to apply the coaƟ ng material immediately aŌ er the primer is dry to avoid any future contaminate on to the primed areas.

Mixing

MANTOCOLOR W should be stirred before use until a uniform color and consistency is achieved.

Application

MANTOCOLOR W can be applied with a brush, roller or by spraying machine. For satisfactory results, two coats (200 micron each) should be applied with a gap of 12–24 hours in between depending on support and temperature conditions. In case of spraying, dilute the product with 5-10% of water. The first coat of product should be however applied with a brush, in order to achieve a uniform coating.

Cleaning

Tools and equipment should be cleaned with water immediately after use. Hardened material should be removed mechanically.

Recommendations

  • Do not apply MANTOCOLOR W with fog, imminent rain forecast or with the weather humidity more than 85%.
  • Do not apply MANTOCOLOR W for submerged water conditions.

Health & Safety

During application, wear appropriate protective clothing, goggles, gloves and respiratory equipment. Avoid inhalation of vapors.

 

In case of contact with skin, rinse with water and again wash thoroughly with soap and water. In case of contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical advice accordingly.

 

If ingested, obtain medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
