Safeguard Universal ES is a two-pack corrosion preventing epoxy vinyl-based coating.
Safeguard Universal ES is normally used as an anti-corrosive undercoat for various paint systems or as a sealer coat on antifouling. It provides a very good adhesion for self-polishing antifoulings as well as various topcoats (not alkyds).
If Safeguard Universal ES is used as a tie coat applied with dry film thickness 50-75 µm on existing antifouling systems, it is recommended to add 5-10% Jotun Thinner No. 17.
Gloss Semigloss
*Measured according to ISO 3233:1998 (E)
Hong Kong rules:
Category of paints - Other vessel coatings; VOC 360 gms/ltr HK EPD method (Ready to use); Exempt compound - N/A; Specific gravity: 1.40 gms/ltr (A+B);
Both VOC and Specific gravity values provided are typical values, subject to changes when different colour involved.
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contamination. The surface should be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504.
Clean, dry and undamaged compatible primer. Contact your local Jotun office for more information.
The coating may be used on other substrates. Please contact your local Jotun office for more information.
The temperature of the substrate should be minimum -5°C 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. The coating should not be exposed to oil, chemicals or mechanical stress until cured.
Mixing 5 parts Comp. A (base) to be mixed thoroughly with 1 part Safeguard Universal ES, Comp. B (curing agent)
Pot life (23°C) 2 hours (Reduced at higher temp.)
Thinner/Cleaner Jotun Thinner No. 17
Pressure at nozzle 15 MPa (150 kp/cm², 2100 psi)
Nozzle tip 0.48-0.78 mm (0.019-0.031")
Filter Check to ensure that filters are clean.
Too much solvent results in lower sag resistance and slower cure.
Thinner should be added after mixing components.
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:

1. The surface should be free from chalking and contamination prior to application. Best intercoat adhesion for overcoating with antifouling is achieved when the subsequent coat is applied before preceding coat has cured.
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.
