We worked hard this past summer to keep customers like you
fully stocked so you could make money! Thanks for your trust
and business. We appreciate both.
- Over the summer, we also worked to revise the layout of
our newsletter. We hope you'll give us your feedback in
our "What Do You Think?" section.
- On the back page we introduce you to a new section "MCA
Employee Spotlight" and to our Palatine Store Counter
Crew. See who's on the other end of the phone when you call
in.
- The "Ask Jimbo" section answers multiple questions
on curing and sealing products.
- Products and tips to make your lives -- and jobs -- easier
are scattered throughout.
- Think about cutting out the MCA Team Roster and Tool Tips
on the back cover for handy future reference.
Thanks again for a great summer season and let's keep going
into the fall and winter.
Happy Holidays to you all!

It seems like in the concrete business we're either making holes
(see "What's New at MCA") or filling them in. One
of the three Conspec® products that are this quarter's MVP's
help you fill in holes, while the other two help you smooth
out the rough spots.
Special Patch® is a polymer-modified, two-component concrete
repair mortar that's used in thin- and thick-section concrete
patching and overlays. Because it delivers excellent freeze-thaw
resistance, superior adhesion, and resistance against the penetration
of de-icing salts and other contaminants, it's ideal for repairing
exterior concrete pavements. It's also great for parking deck
repairs, ramps and roadways, and interior floors subjected to
heavy loads and abrasion.
Overcrete® is also a two-component, polymer-modified product.
It's a cementitious coating product providing an attractive
and decorative appearance to irregular concrete or concrete
that has been damaged by freeze thaw, de-icers, finishing flaws,
progressive scaling, or inadequate curing. It's ideal for around
patios, porches, steps, driveways, sidewalks, entrances, and
swimming pools in both vertical and horizontal applications.
Since it adds durability, freeze thaw resistance, and flexibility
to concrete surfaces, it's also good for exterior above and
below grade applications.
All concrete floors that need to be leveled and/or resurfaced
should be topped with a self-leveling, polymer-modified material.
Conflow® is such a product. Use it as an underlayment for
interior applications for new concrete, old concrete, old concrete
with cutback, tile or terrazzo, wood, and special shot-blasted
surfaces.
Got questions on any of these products? Call MCA at 847-438-2000!
We'll be glad to "fill you in"! |
