Series 740 | UVX

Generic Type Polyfunctional Hybrid Urethane
Common Usage An advanced technology polyurethane finish coat combining low VOC with exceptional performance. Offers superior color and gloss retention for long-term aesthetics on a wide range of exterior structures. Durable film stands up to abrasion and exterior weathering. Very good brush, roll and spray application characteristics. NOT FOR IMMERSION SERVICE.
Colors Refer to Tnemec Color Guide. 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.

Note: Series 66, L69, N69, V69, 135, L140, N140, or V140 exposed more than 21 days; Series 27, 161, L69F, N69F, V69F, L140F, N140F, or V140F exposed more than 14 days; and Series 27WB exposed more than 90 days must first be scarified or reprimed with themselves prior to topcoating. Series 73 or 1075 exposed more than 90 days must first be scarified or reprimed with epoxy prior to topcoating. Brush blasting with fine abrasive is the preferred method of scarification.
Volume Solids 73.0 ± 2.0% (mixed) †
Recommended DFT 2.5 to 5.0 mils (65 to 125 microns) per coat. Note: Number of coats and thickness requirements will vary with substrate, application method and exposure. Contact your Tnemec representative.

Curing time varies with surface temperature, air movement, humidity and film thickness. Note: For faster time-to-moisture resistance and low-temperature applications, add No. 44-712 Urethane Accelerator; see separate product data sheet. Note: When topcoating Series 740 with itself, the maximum recoat time is 45 days.
