Series 94-H2O
Hydro-Zinc
Generic Type
Aromatic Urethane, Zinc-Rich
Common Usage
A single-component, moisture-cured, zinc-rich primer for steel structures, including the interior and exterior of steel potable water tanks. Provides outstanding long-term corrosion resistance when used as a primer in conjunction with other Tnemec coatings. It cures quickly and offers rapid recoat at surface temperatures down to 35°F. Note: When used in conjunction with cathodic protection, anodes or impressed current systems should not provide current demand more negative than –1.05 volts relative to a copper–copper sulfate reference electrode half-cell.
Special Qualifications
Certified (with or without 44-710 Urethane Accelerator) in accordance with ANSI/NSF Std. 61 for use on interior potable water tanks of 500 gallons or greater. Topcoating with Std. 61 certified Tnemec coatings is required. Contact your Tnemec representative for specific recommendations. Reference "Search Listings" section of the NSF website at www.nsf.org for details on the maximum allowable DFT. Meets zinc-rich primer requirements of AWWA D102-17 Standard for Inside System No. 3 & 5 and Outside System No. 3, 4 & 6. Series 94-H_2_O uses a zinc pigment which meets the requirements of ASTM D 520 Type III and contains less than .002% lead.
Series 94-H_2_O was tested in accordance with, and passed, the California Department of Public Health CDPH/EHLB/Standard Method Version 1.1, 2010 emissions testing and meets qualifications of LEED v4, Collaborative for High Performance Schools, and Living Building Challenge.
