Preparation and cleaning of application equipment. To avoid contamination of water-borne paint by solvent, spray equipment must be cleaned before use. All equipment containing solvent, such as pumps, lines and guns, must be thoroughly cleaned in accordance with the following instructions.
If the application equipment is stainless steel, designed for and used only with water-borne coatings, this preparation and cleaning procedure is not required.
Before spraying:
Flush equipment and lines with JOTUN Thinner No. 17, then with Thinner No. 4, and finally with fresh water.
After spraying:
Clean equipment and lines with water and an alkaline degreaser, then flush with JOTUN Thinner No. 4, and finally with JOTUN Thinner No. 17.

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.
