Series 120-5001 | Vinester

Generic Type Novolac Vinyl Ester
Common Usage Superior protection against organic and inorganic acids and sour crude when stored at elevated temperatures in insulated tanks. Sprayable lining for tanks and vessels. Provides splash, spillage and fume protection for structural surfaces and secondary containment. Frequently used as a topcoat for additional chemical resistance with various epoxy flooring and wall systems. Note: Contact your Tnemec representative or Tnemec Technical Services with specific chemical exposures.
Colors 5002 Beige (primer only) and 5001 Gray (finish coat only)
Color change will occur when Series 120 is exposed to sunlight; also, batch-to-batch color variations can be expected.
Finish Semi-gloss
Surfacer/Filler/Patcher See: 120-5003 Vinester F & S, 218, 219
Primers Prepared Bare Concrete and Steel: Series 120-5002
Thick-Film Floor and Wall Systems: Series 239, 275
Volume Solids Theoretical 89% (mixed). Series 120 Vinester system contains a reactive monomer and some loss will occur during application and cure. Actual solids by volume will vary depending upon temperature and air movement. See Practical Coverage Rates.
Recommended DFT 12.0 to 18.0 mils (305 to 455 microns) per coat (minimum of one coat 5002 primer and one coat 5001 finish coat).
