Series 1 | Omnithane

Generic Type Modified Aromatic Polyurethane Primer
Common Usage A single component, moisture-cured resin, containing a proprietary blend of micaceous iron oxide and zinc to function as a primer which is field and shop friendly. May be used in OEM manufacturing, potable water and wastewater immersion with the proper topcoats. May also be used for marginally prepared rusty steel and tightly adhering old coatings for non-immersion maintenance situations.
Colors 1216 Grayish-Green
Surfacer/Filler/Patcher Series 218, 219. For additional information contact Tnemec Technical Services.
Primers Self-priming, 90-97, 91-H2O, 94-H2O
Topcoats Series 1 may be topcoated with a multitude of high performance coatings which include (but are not limited to) Series 1, 20, FC20, 25, 27, 35, 46H-413, 66, N69, N69F, 73, 104, 113, 114, 115, N140, N140F, 161, 400, 406, 1028, 1029, 1074, 1075.
Note: If Series 1 is exterior exposed for 1 year or more it must be scarified or recoated with itself before topcoating. Scarification or recoating with itself is required if the Series 1 has been exterior exposed for 3 days or longer and Series 113 is the specified topcoat. Note: Series 25, 35 and 115 require the use of Series 44-900 adhesion promoter when topcoating Series 1. Note: Certain topcoat colors may not provide one coat hiding depending on method of application. Contact your Tnemec representative.
Volume Solids 61.0 ± 2.0% (mixed)
Recommended DFT 2.5 to 3.5 mils (65 to 90 microns) per coat. Note: NSF certification maximum: 3.5 mils.
Curing Time Without 44-710
Temperature † To Touch To Handle To Recoat
70°F (21°C) 1/4 hour 1 1/2 hours 2 hours
60°F (16°C) 1/4 hour 2 3/4 hours 2 3/4 hours
50°F (10°C) 1/4 hour 5 hours 5 hours

† 50% Relative Humidity. Curing time will vary with surface temperature, humidity and film thickness.
Note: When recoating Series 1 with topcoats other than itself, the minimum recoat time is 16 hours.
Ventilation: When used in enclosed areas, provide adequate ventilation during application and cure.

With 44-710: The use of 44-710 can greatly reduce recoat times. Reference the 44-710 Urethane Accelerator product data sheet. Note: Series 44-710 Accelerator must be used when the surface temperature falls below 50°F (10°C).
