| Drying, atmospheric | 70 °C | 80 °C |
At elevated temperatures, the dry film gradually softens. Establish correct handling and stacking procedures according to the environmental conditions. Protective performance is unaffected.
Withstands peak temperatures for a maximum of one hour.
At the above temperatures, protective performance is unaffected, but appearance may be affected.
Depending on the actual exposure conditions in service, this product may be used with various primers and topcoats. Some reference systems are listed below. For specific systems, contact JOTUN.

Preparation and cleaning of application equipment. To avoid contamination of water-borne paint by solvent, spray equipment must be cleaned before use. All equipment containing solvent, such as pumps, lines and guns, must be thoroughly cleaned in accordance with the following instructions.
If the application equipment is stainless steel, designed for and used only with water-borne coatings, this preparation and cleaning procedure is not required.
Before spraying:
Flush equipment and lines with JOTUN Thinner No. 17, then with Thinner No. 4, and finally with fresh water.
After spraying:
Clean equipment and lines with water and an alkaline degreaser, then flush with JOTUN Thinner No. 4, and finally with JOTUN Thinner No. 17.

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.
