Generic Type

Aliphatic Acrylic Polyurethane

Common Usage

A durable topcoat for commercial, industrial, and marine applications that is highly resistant to abrasion, wet conditions, corrosive fumes, chemical contact and has excellent resistance to exterior weathering. Direct-to-Metal capability allows for a labor-saving, high-build, single coat application.

Recommended DFT

Topcoat Service: 2.0 to 5.0 mils (50 to 125 microns) per coat.
Direct to Metal; Over Zinc or MIO-Zinc: 3.5 to 5.0 mils (90 to 125 microns).
Note: Number of coats and thickness requirements will vary with substrate, application method and exposure. For DTM or applications over zinc or MIO-zinc, as part of a two-coat system, consult the latest version of Tnemec Technical Bulletin 13-100 or contact your Tnemec representative.
