Series 1418

Vinester

Generic Type

High Temperature Novolac Vinyl Ester

Common Usage

Resistant to very high temperature service and extremely corrosive environments, this coating is used as the base product for many reinforced applications due to the versatility provided from the product being supplied as "neat" or non-pigmented. Series 1418 is the recommended selection for use in the most chemically demanding environments, such as, wet or dry FGD scrubbers, ductwork and slurry tanks operating in elevated temperature conditions. Use with specialty mortar powders, to embed glass mats, as a saturant coat or as a pigmented self-leveling finish coat. Series 1418 was formally ProPolymer 4847HT.

Primers

Self-priming on steel or Series 1402, 1407. Note: For services above 180°F (82°C), do not use a primer.

Surfacer/Filler/Patcher

Series 215, 217, N218, primer with 211-9111 or fumed silica. Note: Series N218 should be used for filling or patching small areas only. For areas in need of full resurfacing, select one of the other recommended products.

Curing Time

Temperature To Recoat Immersion Maximum Recoat
90°F (32°C) 3 hours 24 hours 3 days
75°F (24°C) 4 hours 48 hours 5 days
60°F (16°C) 12 hours 4 days 7 days

Recoat times are typical for coating to be dry-to-touch and ready for the next application. Immersion and certain other services may require longer cure times and/or elevated temperature post cure for optimal performance. ASTM D2583 Barcol Hardness check is also recommended, minimum 40. Coating that has exceeded its maximum recoat time should be checked for styrene or acetone sensitivity or uniformly scarified to assure secondary bonding. Consult Tnemec Technical Services and Technical Bulletin 22-119.
