Series 90E-92 | Tneme-Zinc

Below is only a summary of product data. Please download the product datasheet for complete details.

Generic Type Ethyl Silicate Inorganic Zinc-Rich
Common Usage Self-curing, primer/finish with tenacious bonding and abrasion resistance qualities. Its galvanic action resists undercutting. Excellent stand alone performance in high temperature or long-term atmospheric exposure. Finish with specialized topcoats to improve aesthetics, increase long-term performance or protect the primer from attack in aggressive exposures.
Colors Greenish-gray
Topcoats Series 6, 27, 39, 46H-413, 66, N69, 104, 113, 114, 161
Volume Solids 65.0 ± 2.0% (mixed) void content method
Recommended DFT 2.0 to 3.5 mils (50 to 90 microns) per coat.

Moisture is required to achieve proper cure. Curing time will vary with temperature and humidity. At relative humidities below 30%, it may be necessary to gently spray the coated surface with water to achieve proper cure and to minimize recoat time. Consult your Tnemec representative for specific recommendations. Ventilation: When used as a tank lining or in enclosed areas, provide adequate ventilation during application and cure. Reference ventilation guidelines contained in the latest edition of AWWA D 102.
