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.
The given drying and curing times and overcoating intervals for inorganic zinc silicate are measured at 80% relative humidity during application and curing. Higher relative humidity accelerates curing; curing of this product requires the relative humidity to remain above 50%.
| Touch Dry | The state at which light finger pressure leaves no mark or stickiness. |
|---|---|
| Walk-on Dry | The minimum time after which the coating allows normal foot traffic without leaving permanent footprints, marks or other physical damage. |
Minimum recoat interval after drying: the recommended minimum interval before applying the next coat.
Dry/cured to service: the minimum time before the coating can be permanently exposed to a specific environment/medium.
| Paint temperature | 23 °C |
| Pot Life | 5 h |
Temperature
| Continuous | Peak | |
| Drying, atmospheric | 400°C | 540 °C |
The product can also withstand peak temperatures of 540 °C (1000 °F) for extended periods. However, sustained temperatures above 400 °C affect the long-term service performance of the inorganic zinc silicate coating.
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.

| Inorganic Zinc Silicate Primer 5DG, Component A | 6 months |
| Inorganic Zinc Silicate Primer 5DG, Component B | 48 months |
In some markets, the stated shelf life may be shortened to comply with local legal requirements. The above is the minimum shelf life; thereafter, testing is required to confirm quality remains acceptable.
For professional use only. Applicators and workers must be trained, experienced, capable and equipped to mix, stir and apply the coating correctly in accordance with JOTUN's technical documents. Applicators and workers must wear appropriate personal protective equipment when using this product. This guidance is provided based on current product knowledge. Any proposed modification to suit site conditions must be approved by the responsible JOTUN representative before use.
Read the safety warnings on the container packaging. Use in well-ventilated conditions. Avoid inhaling spray mist and avoid skin contact. 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.
