Series 1448
Vinester
Generic Type
Novolac Vinyl Ester
Common Usage
A high-build, vinyl ester lining with corrosion resistant graphite fillers. Use where silica free coatings perform best, such as high alkali environments, spent bleach solutions and hydrofluoric and fluosilicic acids, in elevated temperature conditions for both dry, fume and wet services. The graphite also provides good electrical conductivity and is a high wear finish.

Primers
Self-priming or Series 1402, 1407, 1438. Note: For services above 180°F (82°C), do not use a primer.
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 |
| 50°F (10°C) | 12 hours | 4 days | 7 days |
Note: Certain service applications may require elevated temperature cure for maximum performance. 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. Consult Tnemec Technical Services.
