Jotachar JF750 XT
This is a two-component, solvent-free, amine-cured, 100% solids epoxy intumescent coating. Specifically designed as an intumescent coating for various types of steel structures and equipment in hydrocarbon pool fires and jet fires. No additional reinforcement mesh is required. Used as a primer or intermediate coat in atmospheric environments. Suitable for carbon steel, aluminium, hot-dip galvanized steel and stainless steel substrates treated with certified primers.
Typically used in the oil, gas and energy industries. Based on test certificates, suitable for passive fire protection of carbon steel, stainless steel, FRP and concrete structures in offshore and onshore environments. Designed for a wide ambient temperature range down to -52 °C.
Jotachar JF750 XT is suitable for process piping, vessels or equipment with operating temperatures up to 95 °C. At higher service temperatures, Jotatherm TB550 is applied as a composite thermal insulation layer between the substrate and Jotachar or over Jotachar to block atmospheric thermal radiation.

Typical recommended specification range
Dry film thickness:
1 – 27 mm (depending on fire scenario and specific project requirements)
Theoretical spreading rate:
For every 1 mm thickness applied, 1 kg of Jotachar JF750 XT will cover 1 m² (based on two-component pump)
Typical first coat can reach a thickness of 6 mm.
Subsequent coats can be applied up to 8 mm.
Depending on the member structure, shape, application environment, pump type and settings, and primer type, higher film thicknesses can be achieved with this product.
The maximum wet film thickness is the highest film thickness at which the coating system can be applied without sagging.
For further information, see the Application Guide.
Surface Preparation
| Substrate | Minimum | Recommended |
| Coated surface | A clean, dry and sound compatible primer. | |
This product may be applied by the following methods
| Spray: | Use two-component heated plural-component spray equipment or modified airless spray equipment (with a heater). For further information, see the Application Guide. Note: all spray pumps used for this product must be approved by JOTUN |
| Trowel: | For further information, see the Application Guide. |

Individual components must be stored at 20–25 °C (68–77 °F) for at least 12 hours. Stir or mix thoroughly with a power mixer before application.
| Thinner: | Jotun Thinner No. 7 | /Jotun Thinner No. 10 / Jotun Thinner No. 17 |
| Maximum thinning: | 5 % |
Typical thinning ratio for modified airless spray and manual application is 3% by volume.
For roller application, use JOTUN Thinner No. 7, No. 10 or No. 17.
| Note | Where the Korean VOC regulation (Clean Air Conservation Act) and its corresponding thinning limits differ from the recommended thinning volume, the former prevails. |
|---|---|
| Cleaner | Jotun Thinner No. 17 |
When the thinner is used as a cleaning solvent, it must first comply with local regulatory requirements
| Nozzle tip size (inch/1000): | 31-41 |
| Nozzle pressure (minimum): | 200 bar/2900 psi |
| Substrate Temperature | 5 °C | 15 °C | 23 °C | 40 °C |
| Touch Dry | 8 h | 6 h | 4 h | 3 h |
| Walk-on Dry | 48 h | 17 h | 12 h | 5 h |
| Minimum recoat interval | 8 h | 5 h | 3 h | 2 h |
| Dry/cured to service | 48 h | 24 h | 16 h | 12 h |
For the maximum recoat interval, refer to the Application Guide (AG) for this product.
The minimum drying recoat interval is for self-recoating. See the additional guidance for the finish coat.
Drying and curing times are determined based on temperature and relative humidity below 85%, with dry film thickness within the average range.
Topcoat:
The system should be dry to handle, and the coating thickness gauge must not leave indentations. Before applying the topcoat, the applicator must ensure the specified dry film thickness has been achieved.
| 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.
Dry/cured to service: the minimum time before the coating can be permanently exposed to a specific environment/medium.
| Paint temperature | 15 °C | 23 °C |
| Pot Life | 70 min | 60 min |
The above data apply to trowel and roller application. With two-component pump application, the coating is mixed at the gun, so the pot life does not apply. With single-component pump and manual application, use the mixed product as soon as possible. Because mixing is exothermic, the larger the mixed quantity, the shorter the pot life.
Drying, atmospheric
| Continuous | 95 °C |

May be used together with Jotatherm TB550 as an insulating layer at 95 °C to 150 °C. Subject to technical review; contact JOTUN.
Jotatherm TB550 can be used as an air thermal radiation insulation layer over Jotachar. Appearance may be affected in high-temperature environments.
Above 150 °C, use an alternative thermal insulation solution.
| Vent container to release vapour | Up to 180 °C for a duration not exceeding 24 hours. |

At high temperatures, appearance may be affected; this can be reduced by selecting a suitable topcoat.
Depending on the actual exposure conditions in service, this product may be used with various primers and topcoats. Some reference systems are listed below. For specific systems, contact JOTUN.

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.
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.
