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. Commonly used in commercial, industrial, and marine markets in various applications to provide outstanding long-term corrosion resistance when used as a primer in conjunction with other Tnemec coatings. Series 94-H2O has no maximum recoat time, cures quickly and offers rapid recoat at surface temperatures down to 35°F (2°C). 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.
