PRODUCT PROFILE
GENERIC DESCRIPTION Polyamidoamine Epoxy
COMMON USAGE An advanced generation epoxy for protection and finishing of steel and concrete. It has excellent resis-
tance to abrasion and is suitable for immersion as well as chemical contact exposure. Contact your local
Tnemec representative for a list of chemicals. This product can also be used for lining storage tanks that
contain demineralized, deionized or distilled water. Can also be used as a block filler on cementitious or
masonry substrates.
COLORS Refer to Tnemec Color Guide. Note: Epoxies chalk with extended exposure to sunlight. Lack of ventila-
tion, incomplete mixing, miscatalyzation or the use of heaters that emit carbon dioxide and carbon mon-
® oxide during application and initial stages of curing may cause yellowing to occur.
FINISH Satin
SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS A two-coat system at 4.0-6.0 dry mils (100-150 dry microns) per coat passes the performance require-
ments of MIL-PRF-4556F for fuel storage.
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Extensive test data available. Contact your Tnemec representative for specific test results.

CMU: From 75 to 100 sq ft (7.0 to 9.3 m2) per gallon.
(1) Note for Steel: Roller or brush application requires two or more coats to obtain recommended film thick-
ness. Also, Series N69 can be spray applied to an optional high-build film thickness range of 8.0 to 10.0 dry
mils (205 to 255 dry microns) or 11.5 to 14.5 wet mils (209 to 370 wet microns). Allow for overspray and sur-
face irregularities. Film thickness is rounded to the nearest 0.5 mil or 5 microns. Application of coating below
minimum or above maximum recommended dry film thicknesses may adversely affect coating performance.
MIXING l. Start with equal amounts of both Parts A & B.
2. Using a power mixer, separately stir Parts A & B.
3. (For accelerated version. If not using 44-700, skip to No. 4.)
   Add four (4) fluid ounces of 44-700 per gallon of Part A while Part A is under agitation.
4. Add Part A to Part B under agitation, stir until thoroughly mixed.
5. Both components must be above 50°F (10°C) prior to mixing. For application of the unaccelerated version
to surfaces between 50°F to 60°F (10°C to 16°C) or the accelerated version to surfaces between 35°F to 50°F
(2°C to 10°C), allow mixed material to stand 30 minutes and restir before using.
6. For optimum application properties, the material temperature should be above 60°F (16°C).
Note: The use of more than the recommended amount of 44-700 will adversely affect performance.
POT LIFE Without 44-700 15 hours at 50°F (10°C) 5 hours at 77°F (25°C) 3 hours at 100°F (38°C)
With 44-700 8 hours at 35°F (2°C) 4 hours at 77°F (25°C) 1 hour at 100°F (38°C)
THINNING Use No. 4 or No. 60 Thinner. For air spray, thin up to 10% or ¾ pint (380 mL) per gallon. For airless spray,
roller or brush, thin up to 5% or ¼ pint (190 mL) per gallon. Note: When using Series V69, a maximum of
2.5% of No. 4 Thinner may be used to comply with VOC regulations.
SURFACE TEMPERATURE Minimum 50°F (10°C) Maximum 135°F (57°C)
The surface should be dry and at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point. Coating will not cure below minimum
surface temperature.

† Spray application of first coat on CMU should be followed by backrolling.
Note: Application over inorganic zinc-rich primers: Apply a wet mist coat and allow tiny bubbles to form. When
bubbles disappear in 1 to 2 minutes, apply a full wet coat at specified mil thickness.
Roller: Use 3/8” or 1/2” (9.5 mm or 12.7 mm) synthetic woven nap roller cover. Use longer nap to obtain
penetration on rough or porous surfaces.
Brush: Recommended for small areas only. Use high quality natural or synthetic bristle brushes.
CLEANUP Flush and clean all equipment immediately after use with the recommended thinner or MEK.
