Jotafloor Coating

Product description

Jotacote Universal is a two-pack, abrasion resistant, high solids polyamine cured pure epoxy based primer/finish coat which may be applied in high film thickness.

Recommended use

A universal primer specifically designed for use in newbuilding situations. To be used on steel alone or in combination with various systems. If a cosmetic finish is required, it should be used together with a topcoat. Gives excellent corrosion protection both in salt and fresh water. Jotacote Universal Aluminium Lumi is intended as first coat in water ballast tanks and utilises luminous pigments to aid application and inspection.

For application in water ballast tanks at newbuilding stage in accordance with PSPC (IMO Res. MSC 82/W), see the "Application procedure for water ballast tanks - Jotacote Universal".

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 2½ (ISO-8501-1:2007). Power tool cleaning to min. St 2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) may be acceptable, subject to exposure conditions.

 

Shopprimed steel

Clean, dry and undamaged approved shopprimer.

Coated surfaces

Clean, dry and undamaged compatible primer. Please 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 coating could be applied down to -15°C surface temperature. Temperature of the substrate should be minimum 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 and curing. Do not use heated air until the solvents have evaporated from the paint film to avoid surface drying and solvent entrapment. The coating should not be exposed to oil, chemicals or mechanical stress until cured. During application and the initial drying of the coating, the coating should not be exposed to high humidity as this can result in loss of gloss.

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.

Roller May be used for small areas but not recommended for first primer coat, however when using roller application care must be taken to apply sufficient material in order to achieve the specified dry film thickness.

Application data

Mixing 3 parts Comp. A (base) to be mixed thoroughly with 1 part Jotacote Universal, Comp. B (curing agent).

Induction time 10 minutes.

Pot life (23°C) 1½ hours (reduced at higher temperatures)

Thinner/Cleaner Jotun Thinner No. 17

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. The earliest time that it is possible to exert mechanical strain on the coating, i.e. walk on to recoat.

  2. The earliest time for recoating with the same generic type of paint. Note that the paint film is not hard at this time and can not withstand mechanical strain.

  3. 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

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.
