Surface preparation
Coated surfaces
Prior to paint application, all surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Remove
surface contamination by high pressure fresh water cleaning. To be applied on a clean, dry approved
primer/undercoat or intact self-polishing antifouling. Remove surface contamination by high pressure
fresh water cleaning.
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 3ºC above the dew point of the air,
temperature and relative humidity measured in the vicinity of the substrate. Good ventilation is
usually required in confined areas to ensure correct drying.

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.
Application data
Mixing ratio (volume) Single pack.
Thinner/Cleaner Jotun Thinner No. 7
Guiding data airless spray
Pressure at nozzle 15 MPa (150 kp/cm², 2100 psi.).
Nozzle tip 0.53 - 0.78 mm (0.021 - 0.031").
Spray angle 65 - 80°
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
Substrate temperature 5°C 10°C 23°C 40°C
Surface dry 1h 1h 0,5 h 0,5 h
Through dry 6h 5h 4h 3h
Dry for launching 1 12-16 h 10-14 h 8-12 h 6-10 h
Dry to recoat, minimum 2 12 h 10 h 8h 6h
1. The interval indicates the time which normally occurs in a drydocking situation where the drying
time depends on the total film thickness of primer/antifouling applied. The drying time will
increase with increasing film thickness.
2. 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.
Recommended type of primer:
Anticorrosive primer system suitable for purpose with Safeguard Universal ES or Vinyguard Silvergrey
88 as a sealer coat/tie coat.
