EPOXOLINE SERIES 141

PRODUCT PROFILE
GENERIC DESCRIPTION
COMMON USAGE

Modified Polyamine Epoxy

High solids coating which offers high-build edge protection and excellent corrosion resistance. For use on the interior and
exterior of steel or concrete tanks, reservoirs, pipes, valves, pumps and equipment in potable water service as well as
other steel and concrete substrates.

COLORS

NSF/ANSI Std. 61 colors: 1211 Red, 1255 Beige, 33GR Gray, 35GR Black, 39BL Delft Blue and WH03 Off-White. Note:
Other colors may be available for non-potable water applications. Contact your Tnemec representative. Minimum order
requirements may apply. Note: Epoxies chalk with extended exposure to sunlight. Lack of ventilation, incomplete mixing,
miscatalyzation or the use of heaters that emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide during application and initial stages
of curing may cause yellowing to occur. Caution: Resin properties contribute to color variations or inconsistencies.
Contact your Tnemec representative for more information.

ALL SURFACES

Immersion Service: Scarify the Series 20, FC20, L69, L69F, N69, N69F, V69, V69F, L140, L140F, N140, N140F, V140 or
V140F prime coat surface by brush-blasting with fine abrasive before topcoating if it has been exterior exposed for 30
days or longer and 141 is the specified topcoat.
Immersion Service: SSPC-SP10/NACE 2 Near-White Blast Cleaning with a minimum angular anchor profile of 2.0 mils
Non-Immersion Service: SSPC-SP6/NACE 3 Commercial Blast Cleaning with a minimum angular anchor profile of 2.0 mils
Note: Abrasive blast cleaning generally produces the best coating performance. If conditions will not permit this, Series
141 may be applied to SSPC-SP2 or SP3 Hand or Power Tool Cleaned surfaces.
Allow new cast-in-place concrete to cure a minimum of 28 days at 75F (24C). Verify concrete dryness and prepare
concrete surfaces in accordance with NACE 6/SSPC-SP13 Joint Surface Preparation Standards and ICRI Technical
Guidelines. Moisture vapor transmission should not exceed three lbs per 1,000 sq ft in a 24 hour period (Reference ASTM
F 1869 "Standard Test Method for Measuring Moisture Vapor Emission Rate of Concrete Subfloor Using Anhydrous
Calcium Chloride"). Relative humidity should not exceed 80% (Reference ASTM F 2170 "Standard Test Method for
Determining Relative Humidity in Concrete using in situ Probes"). Abrasive blast, shot-blast, water jet or mechanically
abrade concrete surfaces to remove laitance, curing compounds, hardeners, sealers and other contaminants and to
provide a minimum ICRI-CSP 3 surface profile. Large cracks, voids and other surface imperfections should be filled with a
recommended filler or surfacer.
Must be clean, dry and free of oil, grease, chalk and other contaminants.

application method and exposure. Contact your Tnemec representative. Maximum dry film thickness for NSF exposure is
18.0 mils.

Curing time varies with surface temperature, air movement, humidity and film thickness.
Note: Series 141 must be scarified before topcoating if the temperature is below 55F (13C). Note: For overlaps, tie-ins,
and touch-ups, maximum recoat time with itself is seven days. Note: For one-coat pipe and valve applications, allow 30
days cure at 75F (24C) prior to immersion. Refer to product listing on www.NSF.org for specific potable water return to
service information.

overspray and surface irregularities. Wet 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. Reference the "Search Listings" section of the NSF website at www.nsf.org for details on the maximum

MIXING

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

Mix the entire contents of Part A and Part B separately. Scrape all of the Part B into the Part A pail by using a flexible
spatula. Use a variable speed drill with a PS Jiffy blade and mix the blended components for a minimum of two minutes.
Apply the mixed material within pot life limits after agitation. Both components must be above 50F (10C) prior to
mixing. For optimum application properties, the material temperature should be above 60F (16C). For applications to
surfaces between 35F to 50F (2C to 10C) allow mixed material to stand 30 minutes and restir before use. Note: A large
volume of material will set up quickly if not applied or lessened in mass. Caution: Do not reseal mixed material. An
explosion hazard may be created.
Caution: Do not add thinner to Part A prior to mixing with Part B. For airless spray, brush or roller, thin up to 5% per
gallon with No. 4 Thinner or No. 60 Thinner. For air spray, thin up to 10% per gallon with No. 4 Thinner.
