Product description
Jotashield Alkali Resistant Primer is a high quality water based acrylic copolymer primer with good
penetrating properties. It provides an excellent base for subsequent coats.
Recommended use
As a primer on exterior surfaces such as cement plasters, concrete and brickwork etc. prior to
Jotashield or other recommended topcoats.

Solids (vol %)* 37 ± 2
*Measured according to ISO 3233:1998 (E)
Surface preparation
The substrate must be sound, clean, free from dust, oil, grease and laitance etc. All traces of
release agents must be removed. On chalky and dusty surfaces, all loose material must be
removed by stiff bristle brushing.
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 min. 10°C and min. 3°C above the dew point of the
air, temperature and relative humidity measured in the vicinity of the substrate.
Application methods
Spray Airless or conventional spray.
Brush Recommended.
Roller Recommended.

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
* Relative humidity 70%
Substrate temperature 10°C 23°C 40°C

Surface dry 6h 3h 1h

1. Recommended data given for recoating with the same generic type of paint.
2. The surface should be dry and free from any contamination prior to application of the
subsequent coat.
3. In case of multi-coat application, drying times will be influenced by the number and sequence
and by the total thickness of previous coats applied – reference is made to the corresponding
system data sheet.
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

As a Primer or a Sealer for concrete or cement plaster with Jotashield or any other recommended
topcoat.
If any Block filler is used to rectify imperfections on the substrate, proper sanding followed by
a full undiluted coat of Penetrating Sealer must be used before applying any Jotashield
topcoats.
Other systems may be specified, depending on area of use
