Technical Data
Barrier 80
Product description
Barrier 80 is a two-pack zinc rich epoxy primer with a high content of zinc that complies with the compositional
requirements for SSPC Paint 20 level 2 and ISO 12944. Can also be made to order with ASTM D520 Type II zinc dust.
Recommended use
As a zinc rich primer on blast cleaned steel. Barrier 80 is used in combination with advanced coating systems to further
improve protection against corrosion.
Film thickness and spreading rate
Minimum Maximum Typical
Film thickness, dry (m) 40 90 50
Film thickness, wet (m) 65 150 80
Theoretical spreading rate (m/l) 15,3 6,8 12,2
Comments
In a systems of DFT of max. 90 m, the drying time will increase. To achieve a uniform, closed film at dry film thickness
below 40 microns it will be necessary to thin Barrier 80 with Jotun Thinner No. 17.

Surface preparation
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contamination. The surface should be assessed and treated in
accordance with ISO 8504.
Bare steel
Cleanliness: Blast cleaning to min. Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or for maintenance UHPWJ to WJ2 (NACE No.5/SSPC-
SP 12). Roughness: using abrasives suitable to achieve minimum grade Fine (ISO 8503-2).
Shopprimed steel
Clean, dry and undamaged approved shopprimer.
Other surfaces
The coating may be used on other substrates. Please contact your local Jotun office for more information.
Condition during application
The temperature of the substrate should be minimum 5C and at least 3C above the dew point of the air, temperature
and relative humidity measured in the vicinity of the substrate. Good ventilation is required in confined areas to ensure
correct drying.
Application methods
Spray Use airless spray
Brush Recommended for stripe coating and small areas, care must be taken to achieve the specified dry
film thickness.
Application data
Mixing ratio (volume) 3:1
Mixing Mix 3 part Comp. A (base) thoroughly with 1 part Barrier 80, Comp. B (curing
agent).
Induction time 30 minutes.
Pot life (23C) 12 hours. (Reduced at higher temp.).
Thinner/Cleaner Jotun Thinner No. 17
Guiding data airless spray
Pressure at nozzle 15 MPa min (150 kp/cm, 2100 psi.).
Nozzle tip 0.38 - 0.53 mm (0.015 - 0.021").
Spray angle 40 - 80
Filter Check to ensure that filters are clean.
Drying time
Drying times are generally related to air circulation, temperature, film thickness and number of coats, and will be
affected correspondingly. The figures given in the table are typical with:
* Good ventilation (Outdoor exposure or free circulation of air)
* Typical film thickness
* One coat on top of inert substrate

1. Recommended data given for recoating with coatings normally specified on top of zinc epoxy coatings.
1. The surface should be dry and free from any contamination prior to application of the subsequent coat.
The given data must be considered as guidelines only. The actual drying time/times before recoating may be shorter or
longer, depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, underlying paint system, requirement for early handling and
mechanical strength etc. A complete system can be described on a system sheet, where all parameters and special
conditions could be included.
Typical paint system
Barrier 80 1 x 40 - 75 m (Dry Film Thickness)
Subsequent coating(s) by choice e.g.: epoxy, acrylic or vinyl.
Other systems may be specified, depending on area of use
Storage
The product must be stored in accordance with national regulations. Storage conditions are to keep the containers in a
dry, cool, well ventilated space and away from source of heat and ignition. Containers must be kept tightly closed.
Handling
Handle with care. Stir well before use. Continuous stirring during application will prevent the heavy zinc pigments from
settling.
Packing size
4 litre unit: 3 litres Comp. A (base) in a 5 litre container and 1 litre Barrier 80, Comp. B (curing agent) in a 1 litre
container.
or
9 litre unit: 6.75 litres Comp. A (base) in a 10 litre container and 2.25 litres Barrier 80, Comp. B (curing agent) in a 3 litre
container.
Health and safety
Please observe the precautionary notices displayed on the container. Use under well ventilated conditions. Do not
breathe or inhale mist. Avoid skin contact. Spillage on the skin should immediately be removed with suitable cleanser,
soap and water. Eyes should be well flushed with water and medical attention sought immediately.
