ANTI-CONDENSATION COATING

Combining superior performance with no-hassle application, Mascoat leads the industry in hightech, premium insulation products. Mascoat’s Industrial-AC (Anti-Condensation) formulation is specially engineered for aggressive industrial environments, where it protects substrates, reduces condensation, blocks Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) and improves equipment efficiency.

Utilizing materials specially designed to combat condensation, Mascoat’s engineering team created Industrial-AC to solve the moisture problems that plague plants, refining mills, factories and anywhere else persistent condensation is an issue. While conventional insulation wicks moisture and breaks down when exposed regularly to water, Mascoat Industrial-AC withstands condensation, humidity and regular cleaning. Frequent insulation repair can be costly and time-consuming, but Industrial-AC’s durable, moisture-resistant design requires little maintenance—so you’ll save money and manpower.

Industrial-AC is installed via airless sprayer, making it easy to use on uneven surfaces and tight spaces. After application, substrates can be quickly inspected since they remain entirely viewable. And while Mascoat Industrial-AC is perfect for protecting equipment, storage vessels, pipelines, ducts and tanks from moisture damage, it’s also designed to improve personnel safety by reducing moisture that can cause slip-and-fall accidents.

To avoid the risks that come with facility condensation—like costly corrosion, workplace accidents and unhealthy biological growth—trust Industrial-AC. For more information about our entire product family, contact the Mascoat team today.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Surface Preparation

The minimum requirements for carbon steel substrates is a solvent wipe in accordance

Primers

Primers are recommended for carbon steel substrates, self-priming over non-ferrous materials

Airless Sprayer

This sprayer is the best method for application of the coating and need 1.5 gallon per minute at 3,000 PSI.

Brushing and Rolling

Except for small touch-ups, it is not recommended to brush or roll on Mascoat Industrial-AC

Safety

Half-face respirator recommended with ammonia cartridge or better. Eye protection recommended

Thinning

Thinning should not exceed one quart per fivegallon pail. Water is a standard thinning medium.

Mixing

Only mud mixing paddles, available from Mascoat, should be used to mix the contents of the pail.

Cleaning

All equipment can be cleaned with soap and water, all data on this sheet was collected using ASTM

Mascoat Industrial-AC is currently in use on substrates around the world to combat the undesired effects of condensation. Typical applications include: • HVAC systems • Tanks • Pipes • Refrigerated storage • Chillers

HOW DOES THE COATING WORK?

Condensation is formed due to the temperature differentials found between a substrate and the air surrounding the substrate. As the temperature of a surface reaches approximately 1.5˚F from the dew point temperature, the air (gas) nearest the surface becomes laden with water weight and it changes from a gas to a liquid state. This liquid state forms into water droplets and appears on the substrate. Condensation development can be more severe in high humidity areas where there is more latent water vapor. This presents faster formation of condensation (sweat). To control condensation, it is important to be above 1.5˚F of the dew point at a specific temperature.

To combat or control condensation, Mascoat Industrial-AC is designed to form a barrier between the dew point and the surface. Our formulation uses ceramic air filled particulates that are specifically designed to help limit the interface between the surface and the surrounding dew point, thereby reducing or eliminating possible condensation development
