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.

Volume Solids
85.0 ± 2.0% (mixed). Series 1418 contains a reactive monomer and some loss will occur during application and cure. Actual solids by volume will vary depending upon temperature and air movement.
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.
