Series 27 | F.C. Typoxy

Generic Type Polyamide Epoxy
Common Usage Versatile low-temperature coating ideally suited for steel fabrication and OEM applications. Also widely used as a field tie-coat. Provides fast curing and rapid handling capabilities. Note: Series 27 conforms with air pollution regulations limiting Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) to a maximum of 340 grams/litre (2.8 lbs/gal).
Colors Refer to Tnemec Color Guide. Note: Epoxies chalk with extended exposure to sunlight. 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 yellowing to occur.
Finish Flat
