Surface preparation

Coated surfaces

To be applied on a clean, dry Safeguard Universal ES. The primer must be fresh, not applied more than three days prior to the SeaLion Tiecoat application.

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 must be minimum 0°C and at least 3°C above the dew point of the air, temperature and relative humidity measured in the vicinity of the substrate. The air temperature must be minimum 0ºC. Good ventilation is usually required in confined areas to ensure proper drying. Relative humidity during application and drying should be minimum 30%.

Application methods

Spray Use airless spray.

Other Care should be taken to avoid overspray onto other coated areas.

Filter Check to ensure that filters are clean.

Note Sagging may occur if application procedure and specification are not followed.

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

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.

Recommended type of primer:

SeaLion Tiecoat MUST only be applied on Safeguard Universal ES. Application on any other substrate can give adverse effects on adhesion.

The SeaLion FRC system consists of SeaLion Tiecoat and SeaLion Repulse. SeaLion Tiecoat is applied to anticorrosive layer as adhesion promotion layer for SeaLion Repulse.
