Series 91-H2O
Hydro-Zinc MCU
Generic Type
Aromatic Urethane, Zinc-Rich
Common Usage
A two-component, moisture-cured, zinc-rich primer for 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 potable water tank coatings. It cures quickly and can be topcoated the same day at surface temperatures down to 35°F (2°C). Series 91-H2O has no maximum recoat time, making it ideally suited as a primer for both sides of plate steel surfaces in water tank fabrication shops. Application methods include “dry-fall” under certain conditions (see Application). 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 by NSF International in accordance with NSF/ANSI/CAN Std. 61 and the extraction requirements of NSF/ANSI/CAN 600. Reference Tnemec’s certified product listing at www.nsf.org for additional details.
Meets zinc-rich primer requirements of the latest edition of AWWA D102 Standard for Inside System No. 3, 5, and 6 and Outside System No. 3, 4, and 6. Series 91-H2O uses a zinc pigment that meets the requirements of ASTM D 520 Type III and contains less than 0.002% lead.
This product is part of a coating system tested in accordance with ISO 12944-6 (2018). Contact your Tnemec representative for coating system test results.

† 50% relative humidity. • Without the addition of No. 44-710 Urethane Accelerator.
Note: Refer to product listings on www.nsf.org for specific potable water return to service information. Curing time will vary with surface temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Ventilation: When used as a tank lining or in enclosed areas, provide adequate ventilation during application and cure. Reference ventilation guidelines contained in the latest edition of AWWA D102. Note: For faster curing, low humidity, and low-temperature applications, add No. 44-710 Urethane Accelerator (see separate product data sheet). Note: For cure times to immersion service, reference the specified Tnemec interior topcoat product data sheet.
