Jotafix Epoxy Primer
This is a two-component, amine-cured, low-surface-preparation epoxy coating. It is a surface-tolerant primer suitable for brush and roller application. It is specifically designed for areas where ideal surface preparation cannot or need not be achieved. It provides anti-corrosive protection in highly corrosive environments. It can be used as a primer, intermediate coat, topcoat or single-coat system in marine atmospheric environments. It is suitable for properly prepared carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel and a range of aged coating surfaces. It can be applied at surface temperatures below 0 °C.
General:
Mainly for small-scale maintenance and repair.
Marine coatings:
Hull shell, exterior and interior areas.
Others
Grain certificate issued by the occupational health authority in Newcastle (UK). Certified to the low flame-spread requirements of the IMO 2010 FTP Code. Other certificates and approvals are available on request.

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.
