Chemical Plants

Every chemical plant has its own specific conditions, environmental concerns, chemical fumes, complex salts and acidic cocktails, chemical spills and extreme temperature variations that demand site specific solutions.

MCU-Coatings’ products are based on a high quality proprietary resin technology that provides very good long term protection for most PH 2 – PH 12 chemical concentrations, and also protects against most petroleum products.
