Surface preparation
The substrate must be sound, clean, dry, 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
Apply at a temperature between 10°C and 35°C.The temperature of the substrate should be
minimum 3°C above the dew point of the air. The temperature and the relative humidity should be
measured in the vicinity of the substrate.
Application methods
Spray Use airless spray or conventional spray
Brush Recommended
Roller Recommended

Application data
Mixing ratio (volume) The paint is ready to use after proper stirring. If thinning is required,
water may be added up to a maximum of 10%.

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 2h 1h 0.5 h
Through dry 8h 6h 4h
Dry to recoat, minimum 1 4h 2h 1h
Dry to recoat, maximum 2,3
1. Recommended data given for recoating with the same generic type of paint.
2. 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.
3. The surface should be dry and free from any contamination prior to application of the subsequent
coat.
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.
