PerimePrime
Generic Type
Aromatic Polyurethane, Mio-Zinc Filled Primer
Common Usage
Specially formulated, one-component, moisture-cured, micaceous iron oxide and zinc-filled primer that offers superior bonding to marginally prepared rusty steel and tightly adhered old coatings. This high-performance primer is ideal for corrosion resistance with a triple barrier mechanism of zinc, mio, and urethane resin built into the dry film. It is suitable as a corrosion-resistant primer under certain fireproofing systems. Contact your Tnemec representative for specific information.

Curing Time
Without 44-710
| Temperature †|| To Touch || To Handle || To Topcoat |
| 75°F (24°C) || ¼ hour || 1 ½ hours || 16 hours |
| 65°F (18°C) || ¼ hour || 2 ¾ hours || 16 hours |
| 55°F (13°C) || ¼ hour || 5 hours || 20 hours |
---† 50% Relative Humidity. Curing time will vary with surface temperature, humidity, and film thickness.
Note: When recoating Series 394 with itself, the minimum recoat time is 2 hours at 70°F (21°C).
Note: The use of Series 44-710 can greatly reduce dry to handle cure times. Series 44-710 Accelerator must be used when the surface temperature falls below 50°F (10°C).
Topcoats
Series 21, 27, 66, L69, L69F, N69, N69F, 73, 113, 114, 115, V115, 161, 971, 975, 1026, 1028, 1029, 1094, 1095, 1096, 1224.
Note: If Series 394 is exterior exposed for one year or more it must be scarified or recoated with itself before topcoating. Scarification or recoating with itself is required if the Series 394 has been exterior exposed for three days or longer and Series 113 is the specified topcoat. Note: Series 115 and V115 require the use of Series 44-900 adhesion promoter when topcoating Series 394. Note: Certain topcoat colors may not provide one coat hiding depending on the method of application. Contact your Tnemec representative. Note: Series 394 must be exterior exposed for one day prior to topcoating with Series 1224 or three days prior to topcoating with Series 1028 or 1029.
