To meet current regulatory requirements, TCI-Coatings offers Water-reducible Alkyds, Acrylic Emulsions, Epoxies, Urethanes, Primers, and many Hybrids.

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

Hydrotec DTM Enamels

These economical fast drying, high gloss, water reducible alkyd enamels are VOC 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.

May be applied direct-to-metal as its own primer or if priming is desired, use one of these primers; HT-5110 or HT-5120.

VOC less than 2.8 lb./gallon. (minus water)
Solvent content per gallon 1.2-1.3 lb.
Lead and chromate free

Hydrotec Primers

These fast drying, water reducible alkyd, corrosion resistant primers are VOC compliant and free of lead and chromate. They can be applied to poorly prepared substrates with good adhesion and exhibit good corrosion resistance.

Designed as a universal metal primer where low odor, toxicity and fire hazard is desired along with fast dry. Shows good resistance to top coats containing strong solvents.

VOC less than 2.8 lb./gallon. (minus water)
Solvent content/gallon: 1.3 lb.
Lead and chromate free

Hydrolac DTM Acrylic Coatings

These fast drying waterborne acrylic lacquers are VOC compliant and can be applied to both steel and galvanized steel with good hardness, adhesion and corrosion resistance.

Specifically designed for DTM application where block resistance, fast dry and excellent adhesion is combined with low odor, low toxicity and low fire hazard.

VOC less than 1.5 lb./gallon. (minus water)
Solvent content/gallon: 0.65-0.85 lb.
Lead and chromate free

Hydrobake DTM Baking Enamels

These products are designed to give high gloss and durability at standard bake temperatures and cycles. Excellent hardness and abrasion resistance, combined with good chemical resistance, makes these products suitable for a wide variety of heavy-duty industrial applications.

Suitable for miscellaneous metal parts but specifically designed for low temperature/short dwell time metal drum coating lines.

VOC 2.8 - 3.7 lb./gallon. (minus water)
Solvent content/gallon: 1.3 lb.
Lead and chromate free

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, good corrosion resistance and near zero VOC.

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
