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.
The information in this datasheet is based entirely on knowledge gained in our laboratory and in practice. JOTUN products are regarded as semi-finished products, and their use is generally beyond our control. JOTUN therefore guarantees only the quality of the product itself. To comply with local regulations, the product may be adjusted, and we reserve the right to modify the datasheet without further notice.
Users should consult JOTUN for specific guidance on the suitability of the product for their requirements and applications.
In case of any discrepancy between language versions, the English (UK) version shall prevail.
Information is subject to the manufacturer's latest version; the manufacturer's latest TDS prevails.
