For the maximum recoat interval, refer to the Application Guide (AG) for this product.

Drying and curing times are determined based on temperature and relative humidity below 85%, with dry film thickness within the average range.

Before carrying certain corrosive cargoes, pre-curing (at least three months after the first cargo) or heat curing is required. For more information, refer to www.jotunprl.

com for the JOTUN marine cargo tank coating notes (General Note III) and the specific notes for the cargoes.

Touch DryThe state at which light finger pressure leaves no mark or stickiness.
Walk-on DryThe 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 immersion: the minimum time before the coating can be permanently immersed in sea water.

Dry/cured to service: the minimum time before the coating can be permanently exposed to a specific environment/medium.

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.

Health and Safety

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.

Colour Variation

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.
