PRIMERS

TESLAN® 1101 (ISO 12944-9) ZN-CNT LOW VOC EPOXY PRIMER is a NORSOK M501 tested solvent-based, two-component, Zinc/CNT epoxy primer designed for the protection of steel and metallic substrates in harsh environments per ISO 12944-9 including CX, IM4, tidal & splash zones.

This product incorporates carbon nanotubes (CNTs) together with sacrificial zinc for enhanced durability and maximized corrosion inhibition.

Combined with the power of CNTs, this zinc primer is able to provide unbeatable cathodic protection to steel platforms and structures in harsh offshore settings. No other zinc primer on the market displays the same durability and corrosion resistance as TESLAN®.

TESLAN® 1101 (ISO 12944-9) ZN-CNT LOW VOC EPOXY PRIMER can be directly top-coated utilizing Tesla NanoCoatings’ patented 2 x 1 WET EDGE process with or without a stripe coat application.

TESLAN® 1102 ZN-CNT LOW VOC EPOXY PRIMER is a solvent-based, two-component, Zinc/CNT epoxy primer designed for the protection of steel and metallic substrates.

This is Tesla NanoCoatings’ second-generation Zinc-CNT primer. This primer improves upon the features of TESLAN® 1101 to offer lower temperature curing down to as low as 40°F.

This product incorporates carbon nanotubes (CNTs) together with sacrificial zinc for enhanced durability and maximized corrosion inhibition.

The power of CNTs imbue the epoxy primer with adhesion properties that place it in a class all its own. In both internal and third-party pull-off adhesion testing, the bond between TESLAN® 1101 and the test substrate routinely outlasts the high-grade industrial adhesives that are standard for the testing method.

TESLAN® 1102 ZN-CNT LOW VOC EPOXY PRIMER can be directly top-coated utilizing Tesla NanoCoatings’ patented 2 x 1 WET EDGE process with or without a stripe coat application.

TESLAN® 1103 ZN-CNT EPOXY PRIMER is the next generation two-component, Zinc/CNT epoxy primer as defined by ISO 12944-5:2019. The 1103 was specifically designed and engineered for the protection of steel substrates in harsh offshore and highly corrosive atmospheric environments. This product incorporates carbon nanotubes (CNTs) together with sacrificial zinc for enhanced durability and extraordinary corrosion protection resulting in less than 3mm of scribe creep when tested in accordance with ISO 12944-9 CX applications.

TESLAN® 1103 ZN-CNT EPOXY PRIMER can be directly top-coated utilizing Tesla’s patented 2 x 1 WET EDGE process. Use only in conjunction with recommended TESLAN® Topcoat systems.

TESLAN® epoxy primers are available in formulations that adhere to both ISO 12944-9 standards and NORSOK M501 testing standards alike.

NORSOK is a set of testing standards developed by the Norwegian Oil Industry Association and Federation of Norwegian Manufacturing Industries with the purpose of facilitating maximum safety and efficiency of coating systems for the petroleum industry. NORSOK M501 in particular is focused on the properties of zinc primer coating systems for use in offshore applications.

Similarly, ISO 12944-9 is a testing standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization for evaluating the effectiveness and properties of offshore coating systems for steel structures.

These two sets of standards are recognized across the globe as some of the highest marks of quality that a protective coating system can bear. Tesla NanoCoatings provides a range of protective coating products tested to the standards set by both NORSOK M501 and ISO 12944-9– however, simply adhering to these standards isn’t everything. What rightfully matters most is how our coatings perform in real-world applications. In that regard, we are proud to convey that TESLAN coatings have been observed to last for well over 10 years in the Gulf of Mexico with no recorded failures to date.

The TESLAN® family of epoxy primers consists entirely of low-VOC formulations. Low-VOC primer products can make for a safer coating application process and slash application time compared to traditional protective coating systems.

CNT-Zinc epoxy primers by Tesla NanoCoatings are the first of their kind. While zinc epoxy primers are known for their excellent cathodic protection properties in traditional coating systems, combining them with CNTs has resulted in the development of the most durable and effective coating system available in today’s market.
