Series 94-H2O
Hydro-Zinc MCU
Generic Type
Aromatic Urethane, Zinc-Rich
Common Usage
A single-component, moisture-cured, zinc-rich primer for steel structures, including the interior and exterior of steel potable water tanks. Commonly used in commercial, industrial, and marine markets in various applications to provide outstanding long-term corrosion resistance when used as a primer in conjunction with other Tnemec coatings. Series 94-H2O has no maximum recoat time, cures quickly and offers rapid recoat at surface temperatures down to 35°F (2°C). Note: When used in conjunction with cathodic protection, anodes or impressed current systems should not provide current demand more negative than –1.05 volts relative to a copper–copper sulfate reference electrode half-cell.
Special Qualifications

Curing Time
| Temperature † | To Handle • | To Recoat • |
|---|---|---|
| 75°F (24°C) | 2 hours | 8 hours |
| 55°F (11°C) | 4 hours | 12 hours |
| 35°F (2°C) | 6 hours | 16 hours |
† 50% relative humidity. • Without the addition of No. 44-710 Urethane Accelerator.
Note: Refer to product listings on www.nsf.org for specific potable water return to service information. Curing time will vary with surface temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Ventilation: When used in enclosed areas, provide adequate ventilation during application and cure. Note: For faster curing, low humidity, and low-temperature applications, add No. 44-710 Urethane Accelerator (see separate product data sheet). Note: For cure times to immersion service, reference the specified Tnemec interior topcoat product data sheet.
