Series 104 | H.S. Epoxy

Generic Type Cycloaliphatic Amine Epoxy
Common Usage Versatile coating applies up to 10 mils per coat on steel or concrete. Protects in immersion, salt spray and chemical exposures. Superior abrasion- and stain-resistance.
Colors Primer: 1211 Red. Topcoat: Refer to Tnemec Color Guide. Note: Epoxies chalk with extended exposure to sunlight. Lack of ventilation, incomplete mixing, miscatalyzation or the use of heaters that emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide during application and initial stages of curing may cause yellowing to occur.
Finish Semi-gloss. Gloss can vary with texture, porosity of substrate and thickness of film.
Primers Steel: Self-priming or Series 66, L69, L69F, N69, N69F, V69, V69F, 90E-92, 90-97, 90G-1K97, 161
Concrete: Self-priming or Series 215, 218.
CMU: Self-priming or Series 130, 215, 218
Topcoats Series 66, L69, L69F, N69, N69F, V69, V69F, 73, 104, 1074, 1074U, 1075, 1075U
Refer to COLORS on applicable topcoat data sheets for additional information. Note: When topcoating with Endura-Shield polyurethane finish, exterior exposed Series 104 has the following maximum time to recoat: Series 73, 1074, 1074U, 1075 or 1075U, 60 days. If this time is exceeded, an epoxy intermediate coat or scarification is required before topcoating. Refer to appropriate topcoat data sheet for additional information.
Volume Solids 82.0 ± 2.0% (mixed) †
Recommended DFT 4.0 to 10.0 mils (100 to 255 microns) per coat. Note: Number of coats and thickness requirements will vary with substrate, application method and exposure. Contact your Tnemec representative.
