Jotamastic 80 MIO

Product description

Jotamastic 80 MIO is a high solids two-pack micaceous iron oxide pigmented, surface-tolerant epoxy mastic coating which can be applied in low film thickness. Available with different hardeners for varying substrate temperatures, Standard (Std) and Wintergrade (WG).

Recommended use

Anticorrosive coating for steel structures, also on steel where blast cleaning may not be possible or desired.

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: Power tool cleaning to min. St 2, mill scale free (ISO 8501-1:2007). Improved surface treatment (blast cleaning to Sa 2½) will improve the performance. In case of waterjetting the flash rust degree shall not exceed M (moderate) in SSPC and NACE standards for waterjetted surfaces.

Shopprimed steel

Clean, dry and undamaged approved shopprimer.

Coated surfaces

Clean, dry and undamaged compatible primer. Contact your local Jotun office for more information. For maintenance UHPWJ to WJ2 (NACE No.5/SSPC-SP 12) or Power tool cleaning to min. St 2 for rusted areas

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 +10°C (Std) (-5°C in WG) and at least 3°C 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 proper drying.

Hydrojetting of steel surface makes a wet surface. The surrounding air must have a relative humidity not exceeding 85

%. Before painting the surface shall not be glossy with moisture, but can have a patchy appearance.

Application methods

Spray Use airless spray

Brush May be used but care must be taken to achieve the specified dry film thickness.

Roller May be used. However when using roller application care must be taken to apply sufficient material in order to achieve the specified dry film thickness.

Filter Check to ensure that the filters are clean

Note * The temperature of the mixture of base and curing agent is recommended to be at least 15°C, otherwise extra solvent may be required to obtain correct viscosity.

• Too much solvent results in lower sag resistance and slower cure.

• If extra solvent is necessary, this should be added after mixing of the two components.

Due to local legislation, the standard hardener may be supplied as either STD or SD versions.

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. Provided the surface is free from chalking and other contamination prior to application, there is normally no overcoating time limit. Best intercoat adhesion occurs, however, when the subsequent coat is applied before preceding coat has cured. If the coating has been exposed to direct sunlight for some time, special attention must be paid to surface cleaning and mattening/removal of the surface layer in order to obtain good adhesion.

2. At temperatures below 15 °C, it is recommended to use WG Comp. B due to potential drops in temperatures during the curing process.

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.
