Generic Type Aliphatic Polyester Polyurethane
Common Usage Extremely hard, chemical-resistant polyurethane floor coating with superb flow characteristics. Excellent resistance to abrasion, wet conditions, corrosive fumes and chemical contact. Gloss and color retention among the best of air dried finishes. Note: For horizontal surfaces only.
Colors Available in the 16 standard StrataShield colors and limited custom colors. Contact Tnemec Company for availability. Note: Certain colors may require multiple coats depending on method of application and finish coat color. When feasible, the preceding coat should be in the same color family (blue, gray, etc.), but noticeably different.
Finish Gloss
Primers Horizontal Concrete: Series 201, 205, 280, 281, 287.
Intermediate Series 104, 205, 210, 237, 238, 239, 280, 281, 287
Note: Before topcoating with Series 291, any Tnemec epoxy exterior exposed for more than three weeks must be scarified or reprimed with itself. Mechanically abrading or power-sanding is the preferred method of scarification. The maximum recoat time of Series 210, 237, 238, 239, 280 and 281 is 24 hours. Refer to those product data sheets for more information.
Volume Solids 62% ± 2.0% (mixed) †
Recommended DFT 2.0 to 3.0 mils (50 to 75 microns) per coat. Note: Number of coats will vary depending on color, substrate (surface) and other variables. Contact your Tnemec representative.
Curing Time
Temperature To Recoat To Service Chemical Resistance
75°F (24°C) 12-48 hours 24 hours 7 days

Curing time varies with surface temperature, air movement, humidity and film thickness.
Note: If more than 48 hours have elapsed between coats, the coated surface must be mechanically abraded before topcoating.
Volatile Organic Compounds Unthinned: 2.91 lbs/gallon (348 grams/litre)
Thinned 15%: 3.34 lbs/gallon (401 grams/litre) †
Theoretical Coverage 994 mil sq ft/gal (24.4 m²/L at 25 microns). See APPLICATION for coverage rates. †
Number of Components Two: Part A and Part B (2.5 Parts A to 1 Part B by volume)
