Technical Data
BARRIER
Product description
Barrier is a two-pack zinc rich epoxy primer with a high content of zinc.
Recommended use
As a primer on blast cleaned steel. Barrier is used in combination with
advanced coating systems to further improve protection against corrosion.

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 min. Sa 2 ½ (ISO 8501-1:1988) or for maintenance UHPWJ to WJ2
(NACE No.5/SSPC-SP 12). Roughness: using abrasives suitable to achieve grade Fine to Medium
G (30-85 µm, Ry5) (ISO 8503-2)
Shopprimed steel
Clean, dry and undamaged approved shopprimer.
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 5°C and at least 3°C above the dew point
of the air, temperature and relative humidity measured in the vicinity of the substrate. Good
ventilation is required in confined areas to ensure correct drying.
Application methods
Spray Use airless spray
Brush Recommended for stripe coating and small areas, care must be taken to
achieve the specified dry film thickness.
Application data
Mixing ratio (volume) 3 part Comp. A (base) to be mixed thoroughly with 1 part Comp. B
(curing agent)
Mixing ½ hour prior to use.
Pot life (23°C) 24 hours. (Reduced at higher temp.).
Thinner/Cleaner Jotun Thinner No. 17
Guiding data airless spray
Pressure at nozzle 15 MPa min (150 kp/cm², 2100 psi.).
Nozzle tip 0.38 - 0.53 mm (0.015 - 0.021").
Spray angle 40 - 80°
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
Substrate temperature 5°C 10°C 23°C 40°C

1. Recommended data given for recoating with coatings normally specified on top of zinc epoxy
coatings.
2. 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.
Typical paint system
Barrier 1 x 25 - 90 µm (Dry Film Thickness)
Subsequent coating(s) by choice e.g.: epoxy, acrylic or vinyl.
Other systems may be specified, depending on area of use

Storage
The product must be stored in accordance with national regulations. Storage conditions 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.
Handling
Handle with care. Stir well before use.Continuous stirring during application will prevent the
heavy zinc pigment from settling.
Packing size
4 litre unit: 3 litres Comp. A (base) in a 5 litre container and 1 litre Comp. B (curing agent) in a 1
litre container.
or
9 litre unit: 6.75 litres Comp. A (base) in a 10 litre container and 2.25 l Comp. B (curing agent) in
a 3 litre container.
Packing may vary from country to country according to local requirements.
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.
