Surface preparation
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contamination. The surface should be assessed and treated in
accordance with ISO 8504.
Bare steel
Cleanliness: Blast cleaning to Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1:2007). Roughness: using abrasives suitable to achieve grade Fine to
Medium G (30-85 m, Ry5) (ISO 8503-2)
Coated surfaces
Cured and clean zinc silicate primer.
Other surfaces
The coating may be used on other substrates. Please contact your local Jotun office for more information.
Condition during application
The temperature of the substrate should be minimum 3C above the dew point of the air, temperature and relative
humidity measured in the vicinity of the substrate. Good ventilation is usually required in confined areas to ensure
correct drying.
Application methods
Spray
Use airless spray or conventional spray
Brush
Recommended for stripe coating and small areas, care must be taken to achieve the specified dry
film thickness.
Roller
May be used for small areas but not recommended for first primer coat, however when using roller
application care must be taken to apply sufficient material in order to achieve the specified dry film
thickness.

Guiding data airless spray
Pressure at nozzle
15 MPa (150 kp/cm, 2100 psi).
Nozzle tip
0.38-0.48 mm (0.015-0.021")
Spray angle

Filter
Check to ensure that filters are clean.
Drying time
Drying times are generally related to air circulation, temperature, film thickness and number of coats, and will be
affected correspondingly. The figures given in the table are typical with:
* Good ventilation (Outdoor exposure or free circulation of air)
* Typical film thickness
* One coat on top of inert substrate

The surface should be dry and free from any contamination prior to application of the subsequent coat.
The given data must be considered as guidelines only. The actual drying time/times before recoating may be shorter or
longer, depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, underlying paint system, requirement for early handling and
mechanical strength etc. A complete system can be described on a system sheet, where all parameters and special
conditions could be included.

Storage
Storage condition are to keep the containers in a dry, cool, well ventilated space and away from source of heat and
ignition. Containers must be kept tightly closed. The container must be protected from freezing.
SHELF LIFE: 2 years at 23C, subject to re-inspection thereafter. Storage at elevated temperatures will reduce product
shelf life significantly.
Handling
Handle with care. Stir well before use.
Packing size
5 litre container
Health and safety
Please observe the precautionary notices displayed on the container. Use under well ventilated conditions. Do not
breathe or inhale mist. Avoid skin contact. Spillage on the skin should immediately be removed with suitable cleanser,
soap and water. Eyes should be well flushed with water and medical attention sought immediately.
