Curing Time
| Temperature | To Handle | To Recoat | Immersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| 75°F (24°C) at 4.0 mils 100 microns) | 6 hours | 16-18 hours• | 5 to 7 days |
| 75°F (24°C) at 12.0 mils 305 microns) | 11 hours | 16-18 hours• | 5 to 7 days |
Curing time varies with surface temperature, air movement, humidity, and film thickness.
• Maximum recoat time with itself is 7 days. Extended maximum recoat time of 14 days is allowed when used as a primer for Tank Armor products. If recoat time is exceeded, the coated surface must be scarified before topcoating.
Number of Components
Two: Part A (amine) and Part B (epoxy)
Theoretical Coverage
1,315 mil sq ft/gal (32.3 m²/L at 25 microns). See APPLICATION for coverage rates. †
Volatile Organic Compounds
EPA Method 24
Unthinned: 0.36 lbs/gallon (45 grams/litre)
Thinned 6%: 0.71 lbs/gallon (85 grams/litre)

Primers
Steel: Self-priming
Concrete: Self-priming or Series 215, 217, N218
Note: To minimize pinhole formation due to outgassing, it is recommended that the concrete substrate be fully resurfaced, and/or primed prior to topcoat application.
Topcoats
Note: Series 61 can be topcoated with select Tank Armor linings depending on service conditions. Contact Tnemec Technical Service for recommendations.
