Hardtop Peelable
This is a one-component physically drying water-borne coating for temporary protection against various contaminants and light mechanical wear. Its film has a matt finish. Good resistance to welding spatter and flame spread. Dries at temperatures as low as 5°C. Suitable for substrates that have been previously coated. Excellent peelability after a period of exterior exposure.
Used as temporary protection of the final coat of a complete coating system, preventing dust, oil, grease, flash rust and overspray.
Others
Certified compliant with the low flame-spread requirements of the IMO 2010 FTP Code. Other certificates and approvals are available on request.

When the applied film thickness is lower than specified, the strippability may be affected. Achieving the recommended dry film thickness is important.
For good results, the substrate shall be clean and free from other contaminants.
It is strongly recommended to prepare a representative small area before applying over a large area, to ensure compatibility with the substrate and that stripping is possible, and to achieve the performance over the temporary protection period. Overcoated surfaces: it is important that after overcoating the coating is fully cured and that the gloss and colour also perform well. This is particularly important for durable decorative topcoats, to confirm they are not affected by the application of the strippable coating.
For details, consult your local JOTUN office.

For minimum and maximum overcoating intervals, refer to the Application Guide (AG) of this product.
* Recoat after drying, minimum interval, in atmosphere — for more information, see the Application Guide.
This product may be used only on a complete coating system.
Freshly applied coatings shall not be exposed to rain or water until after 24 hours.
Drying time depends on the degree of ventilation. Poorer ventilation leads to longer drying times.
| Minimum stripping time | 23°C 1 h |
|---|
This is the minimum time before large areas of the coating can be stripped by hand.
The maximum waiting time before stripping depends on the actual film thickness, exposure conditions and exposure time. Test areas shall be prepared to periodically check that stripping is still easy.
Drying and curing times are determined based on temperature and relative humidity below 75%, with dry film thickness within the average range.
| Touch Dry | The state at which light finger pressure leaves no mark or stickiness. |
|---|---|
| Walk-on Dry | The minimum time after which the coating allows normal foot traffic without leaving permanent footprints, marks or other physical damage. |
Minimum recoat interval after drying: the recommended minimum interval before applying the next coat.
Maximum recoat interval after drying, atmospheric environment: the maximum time interval before the next coat may be applied without any surface preparation.

At elevated temperatures, the dry film gradually softens. Establish correct handling and stacking procedures according to the environmental conditions. Protective performance is unaffected.

In some markets, the stated shelf life may be shortened to comply with local legal requirements. The above is the minimum shelf life; thereafter, testing is required to confirm quality remains acceptable.
Product waste and empty containers shall be disposed of in accordance with local waste regulations.
For professional use only. Applicators and workers must be trained, experienced, capable and equipped to mix, stir and apply the coating correctly in accordance with JOTUN's technical documents. Applicators and workers must wear appropriate personal protective equipment when using this product. This guidance is provided based on current product knowledge. Any proposed modification to suit site conditions must be approved by the responsible JOTUN representative before use.
Read the safety warnings on the container packaging. Use in well-ventilated conditions. Avoid inhaling spray mist and avoid skin contact. In case of accidental splashes on skin, wash immediately with a suitable cleaner, soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention immediately.
When used primarily as a primer or antifouling coating, products may show slight colour variation from batch to batch. Such products, and epoxy products used as topcoats, may chalk when exposed to sunlight.
Gloss and colour retention of topcoats depend on the colour type, the surrounding environment such as temperature and UV intensity, application quality and product type. Contact your local JOTUN office for further information.
