For the maximum recoat interval, refer to the Application Guide (AG) for this product.
Drying and curing times are determined based on temperature and relative humidity below 85%, with dry film thickness within the average range.
Under certain conditions, this product can be applied on substrates at temperatures as low as -5 °C, depending on factors including but not limited to thinner and ventilation. Extra care is required for overcoating at low temperatures; the entire coating system requires a higher temperature to cure and achieve good mechanical strength.

In case of accidental splashes on skin, wash immediately with a suitable cleaner, soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention immediately.
When used primarily as a primer or antifouling coating, products may show slight colour variation from batch to batch. Such products, and epoxy products used as topcoats, may chalk when exposed to sunlight.
Gloss and colour retention of topcoats depend on the colour type, the surrounding environment such as temperature and UV intensity, application quality and product type. Contact your local JOTUN office for further information.
The information in this datasheet is based entirely on knowledge gained in our laboratory and in practice. JOTUN products are regarded as semi-finished products, and their use is generally beyond our control. JOTUN therefore guarantees only the quality of the product itself.
