TCI-Coatings provides Primers, Enamels, Water-reducible, and High Solids products with Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds).

High Solids Lead Free Primers

These products are designed as fast dry, low VOC primers for miscellaneous steel. Lead and chromate free corrosion inhibitors and high solids content keep these products within current regulatory guidelines.

P-569 red: VOC 2.9 lb./gallon
P-581 white: VOC 3.2 lb./gallon
P-583 gray: VOC 3.5 lb./gallon

For use wherever a fast dry primer is needed for industrial product finishing and refinishing. These products are a suitable performance alternate to federal specification TT-P-636 and TT-P-645.

DTM Pipe Varnish

This fast drying, high gloss, water reducible acrylic hybrid is VOC compliant and can be applied to poorly prepared substrates with good adhesion. Under poor conditions it will air dry quickly while maintaining good adhesion to marginal metal.

Suitable wherever a low odor, high gloss, non-flammable pipe varnish is desired. Designed for quick dry and good corrosion resistance.

HAPS free and near zero VOC

ASTM D-870, modified: Water immersion test; 72-hour cure; room temperature; 10 days, CRS; 1.0 mil: No blistering, delamination or face rust

Aqua Clad High-Solids DTM Enamels

These fast drying, high gloss, modified-acrylic enamels are VOC and HAPS compliant and can be applied to poorly prepared substrates with good adhesion. Under moderately humid conditions they will air dry quickly.

Suitable wherever low odor, high gloss, waterborne enamels are desired. Designed for maintenance and product finishing (OEM) and refinishing operations. These products have higher solids than typical water-reducible alkyds and better adhesion and gloss than typical acrylic emulsions. Flash rust resistant.

May be applied direct-to-metal as its own primer or if priming is desired, use HT-5130 on ferrous metal.

Solvent content less than 0.5 lb./gallon
Lead and chromate free
