Tectyl 121BN

TECTYL 121BN PREMIUM ASPHALT BASED ABRASION RESISTANT BLACK UNDERCOATING 

Tectyl 121BN Black Undercoating, is a premium asphalt based rustproofing undercoating cutback with mineral spirits formulated specifically to provide quality sound deadening and to prevent metal and wood surfaces from corroding with exceptional corrosion protection from moisture, salt, or abrasion for new and used transportation equipment.

Tectyl 121BN is a thixotropic, meaning the undercoating in its uncured state is more of a gel-like consistency while becoming more fluid with continued mixing and agitation.
This characteristic significantly increases ease of application, spreading, and overall product flow.

The cured film provides a black finish that is firm, flexible, and resilient. This powerfully stable and conforming base layer allows for additional coats to be applied without the fear of peeling or cracking.
