Series 1444

Vinester

Generic Type

Novolac Vinyl Ester

Common Usage

A high-build, vinyl ester lining with corrosion resistant graphite and other specialty fillers to create a low surface energy film imparting a high degree contact angle resulting in improved non-stick characteristics. Use this enhanced, silica-free material in prevention of process material build-up such as fly ash, caking by-products and slurry deposits. Save time and costs with the improved cleaning properties of this coating versus other non-release type linings. An ideal finish coat for hot caustic and non-silica preferred lining applications such as hydrofluoric acid.

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 20. 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 R1.
