Description
Tectyl 3344 Black is an environmentally friendly, water-based corrosion preventive undercoating formulated with zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and free from Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPS). Designed for both ferrous and non-ferrous substrates, it offers superior protection and durability while adhering to stringent environmental and safety standards. This high-performance undercoating is ideal for applications in harsh environments, including military and transportation sectors, providing long-lasting rust and corrosion prevention.
Key Features:
- Zero VOC: Free from volatile organic compounds, making it a highly environmentally friendly coating with no VOC emissions.
- Sag Resistant: The formula is specifically designed to resist sagging and running, allowing for a smooth, single-coat application without drips or uneven coverage.
- Paintable: Can be topcoated with most urethane, acrylic, or alkyd resin automotive finishes for additional protection and aesthetic finishes.
- Abrasion Resistant: Offers excellent resistance to chipping, scratches, and gravel marks commonly found on truck and trailer underbodies.
- Environmental Compliance: Free of Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPS), ensuring safer use and reducing environmental impact.
Product Uses:
- Complete Undercoating: Suitable for undercoating of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals in transportation equipment, automobiles, rail cars, intermodal trailer chassis, and construction equipment.
- Military & OEM Applications: Applied to US Military OEM transportation equipment to protect against saltwater and harsh operational environments.
- Protection for Harsh Environments: Ideal for environments requiring robust protection against moisture, salt, and other corrosive factors.
Product Performance:
- Wet Film Thickness: Recommended at 14-20 mils.
- Dry Film Thickness (DFT): Recommended 6-10 mils.
- Coverage: 48-73 square feet per gallon when applied at the recommended wet film thickness.
- Drying Time: Dries to handle in 1 hour and fully cures within 72 hours.
- Durability: Provides up to 3+ years of outdoor protection and 5+ years of indoor protection on metal substrates at the recommended dry film thickness.
Application Equipment Recommendations:
