Series 203 | Epoxoprime LV

Generic Type Modified Polyamine Epoxy
Common Usage A low viscosity, high-solids, moisture tolerant epoxy used to prime and seal concrete floors. Especially useful when penetration is needed to sufficiently anchor thin-film epoxy flooring systems over lightly profiled concrete surfaces.
Colors Clear. Note: Epoxies chalk and yellow with age, extended exposure to UV and artificial lighting. 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 amine blush, possibly affecting adhesion of subsequent topcoats.
Surfacer/Filler/Patcher Series 215, 217, 218
Note: A repair kit of 201, with Part C fumed silica, is available for small patching/surfacing repairs. For more extensive repairs and additional information, contact your Tnemec representative or Tnemec Technical Services.
