Conforms to AWWA D 102 Inside Systems No. 1 and No. 2 (with or without 44-700). Conforms to AWWA C 210 (without 44-700). Contact your Tnemec representative for systems and additional information.
HAPS
Unthinned: 2.1 lbs/gal solids
Thinned 2.5% (#4): 2.3 lbs/gal solids
Number of Components
Two: Part A (amine) and Part B (epoxy) — One (Part A) to one (Part B) by volume.
Colors
1211 Red, 1255 Beige, 00WH Tnemec White, 15BL Tank White. Note: Epoxies chalk with extended exposure to sunlight. Lack of ventilation, incomplete mixing, miscatalyzation or the use of heaters that emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide during application and initial stages of curing may cause yellowing to occur.
Recommended DFT
2.0 to 10.0 mils (50 to 225 microns) per coat. Note: Dry film thickness that exceeds published recommendations but is in compliance with SSPC PA-2 and ANSI/NSF Std. 61 certifications, is acceptable. Note: The number of coats and thickness requirements will vary with substrate, application method and exposure. Contact your Tnemec representative.
