Release Time:

2021-09-15

Dow's one-component acrylic emulsion MAINCOTE™ IC-1002 is a product specially developed for thermal insulation coatings and has a hydrophobic effect. This product has excellent compatibility and binding force with low thermal conductivity pigments and fillers commonly used in thermal insulation coatings, such as glass beads and aerogels. The thermal insulation coatings formulated based on this product have high volume pigment concentration (PVC) and It has solid volume and low viscosity, so it can use spraying technology to achieve ultra-high film thickness construction. The formula contains extremely low VOC and is an environmentally friendly thermal insulation material.
