Tapecoat TC 7000
High-Temperature Epoxy Primer
& Coating for Pipes & Pipelines

Two corrosion protection applications in one product:
primer and coating.

Tapecoat TC 7000 High-Temperature Epoxy is a surface tolerant two-component 100% solids material that replaces VOC base primers. It is manufactured to be used as a one-coat wet or dry primer with Tapecoat hot and cold applied tapes.

TC 7000 can also be applied as a stand-alone coating for metal surfaces above or below ground, where it provides superior corrosion protection and exceptional flow characteristics with self-leveling attributes.

Use as a single coat primer prior to wrapping with Tapecoat hot or cold applied tapes.
Use as a stand-alone coating on metal surfaces. For added impact and abrasion resistance, use TC reinforcing scrim.

Application

Surface must be clean and dry. Commercial blast to SSPC-SP6. Remove oil and grease with a suitable solvent. Salt and other contaminants may be removed by high-pressure fresh water cleaning.

Pour entire contents of Part B Curing Agent (small container) into Part A Resin (large container)/ Mix thoroughly for approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Do not alter the amounts of A and B in the mixture.

Apply epoxy by brush, pad, roller or spray. Primer should be dry to touch before applying Tapecoat hot-applied tapes or sleeves.

Tapecoat rpolyethyleneeinforcing scrim can be applied over wet epoxy to add reinforcement and impact resistance. After the scrim has been applied, apply a second coat of TC 7000 Epoxy.

Application Parameters

Environment	Use only when the surface to be coated is above 40°F (4°C) and the relative humidity (R.H.) is less than 90%.
Application Temperature	40°F-200°F (4°C-93°C). Surface temperature must be 5°F (3°C) above dew point to avoid condensation.
Cure Time	60 to 90 Minutes at 70°F - 80°F (21°C-27°C) and 50% R.H. Cure time can be accelerated by preheating the metal surface to 100°-200°F (38°-93°C).
Recommended Coverage	As a 1-Coat Primer: 6-10 mils thickness, with a coverage of 220 sq. ft. per mixed gallon (5.4 m² per liter). As a 2-Coat Stand-alone Coating with Scrim: 16-30 mils (0.41-0.76 mm) thickness. This is 2 coats of 8-15 mils (0.20-0.38 mm) each).
