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 Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1:2007). Roughness: using abrasives suitable to achieve grade Fine to
Medium G (30-85 m, Ry5) (ISO 8503-2)
Coated surfaces
Clean, dry and undamaged compatible primer. Contact your local Jotun office for more information.
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 10C and at least 3C above the dew point of the air,
temperature and relative humidity measured in the vicinity of the substrate. The coating should not be exposed to oil,
chemicals or mechanical stress until fully cured.
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 parts Comp. A (base) to be mixed thoroughly with 1 part Comp. B (curing agent)
Pot life (23C) 50 minutes (Reduced at higher temperature.)
Thinner/Cleaner Jotun Thinner No. 17
Guiding data airless spray
Pressure at nozzle 20 MPa (200 kp/cm, 2800 psi)
Nozzle tip 0.53-0.79 mm (0.021-0.031")
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
Substrate temperature 10C 23C 40C
Surface dry 8 h 4 h 2 h
Through dry 20 h 10 h 3 h
Cured 14 d 7 d 2.5 d
Dry to recoat, minimum 20 h 10 h 3 h

1. The surface must be free from any chalking or any other contamination and if necessary, sufficiently roughened
prior to application.
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
On Sa 2:
Naviguard ME 1 - 2 x 300 m (Dry Film Thickness)
Other systems may be specified, depending on area of use
