| Carbon Steel | St 2 (ISO 8501-1) | Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1) |
| Shop-primed Steel | Clean, dry and intact shop primer (compliant with ISO 12944-4 clause 5.4). | |
| Coated surface | A clean, dry and sound compatible primer. | |
The recommended surface preparation provides optimum properties including adhesion, corrosion resistance, heat resistance and chemical resistance.
This product may be applied by the following methods
| Spray: | Apply by airless spray. | |
| Brush: | Recommended for touch-up and small-area application. Take care to achieve the specified dry film thickness. | |
| Roller: | Suitable for small areas. | Not recommended for the first primer coat. Take care to achieve the specified dry film thickness. |

Regardless of substrate temperature, the minimum temperature of the mixed base and curing agent is 15 °C. At lower temperatures, add thinner to achieve the specified application viscosity. Adding too much thinner may reduce sag resistance and slow curing. If thinner is required, add it after mixing the two components.

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.
