Ethyl Silicate Inorganic Zinc-Rich

Common Usage

Self-curing, corrosion-resistant steel or ductile iron primer with tenacious bonding and abrasion resistance qualities. Its galvanic action resists undercutting. Excellent stand alone performance in high temperature or long-term atmospheric exposure. Finish with specialized topcoats to improve aesthetics, increase long-term performance or protect the primer from attack in aggressive exposures.

Number of Components

Two: Part A and Part B

Recommended DFT

2.0 to 3.5 mils (50 to 90 microns) per coat.
Note: A minimum of 3.5 mils (90 microns) DFT is required to meet the qualifications of ISO 8179 Part 2. Note: Series 90-98 can be applied in one, high-build coat up to 6.0 mils (150 microns) DFT when left untopcoated.

Curing Time

Temperature (50% Relative Humidity) To Handle To Recoat
75°F (24°C) 1 hour 16 hours
0°F (-18°C) 7 days minimum

Moisture is required to achieve proper cure. Curing time will vary with temperature and humidity. At relative humidities below 30%, it may be necessary to gently spray the coated surface with water to achieve proper cure and to minimize recoat time. Consult your Tnemec representative for specific recommendations.
