Tankguard Plus
This is a two-component polyamine-cured phenolic epoxy coating. It is highly resistant to most sour crude oils, many chemicals and solvents. The product has excellent chemical resistance and can withstand crude oil up to 160 °C. It can be used as primer, intermediate coat or topcoat in atmospheric and immersion environments. Suitable for properly prepared carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel and concrete substrates.
Industrial protective coatings:
Dedicated as lining coating for offshore, onshore, underground storage tanks and pipelines such as chemical storage, wastewater, grey water, industrial water pipelines, concrete bunds, fire water supply lines and drilling mud tanks. This coating has good resistance to high-temperature products. Refer to the industrial protective coatings resistance table.

If high-temperature curing is applied, Tankguard Plus can be returned to service after half of the "drying/curing to service" time, as follows:
5 °C: 7 days including 8 h at 60 °C 10 °C: 5 days including 8 h at 60 °C 15 °C: 3.5 days including 8 h at 60 °C 23 °C: 2.5 days including 8 h at 60 °C 30 °C: 2 days including 8 h at 60 °C 40 °C: 1.5 days including 8 h at 60 °C High-temperature curing (air) can be initiated after the final coat reaches "dry to overcoat" and can be achieved by heating the steel with high-temperature air and maintaining the temperature at 60 °C for 8 h. Total curing time shall be as above.
Drying and curing times are determined based on temperature and relative humidity below 85%, with dry film thickness within the average range.
| 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.

Withstands peak temperatures for a maximum of one hour.
At the above temperatures, protective performance is unaffected, but appearance may be affected.
Note: this coating can withstand different immersion temperatures, depending on the specific chemical and whether immersion is continuous or intermittent. Heat resistance is affected by the coating system as a whole. When used with other coatings, ensure that all coatings in the system have similar heat resistance.
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.
