Film thickness, wet (µm) 60 80 70
Theoretical spreading rate (m²/l) 16.7 12.5 14.2
Physical properties
Colour Iron Oxide Red
Solids (vol %)* 50 ± 2
Flash point 40ºC ± 2 (Setaflash)
Flexibility Good
*Measured according to ISO 3233:1998 (E)
Surface preparation
Bare steel
Cleanliness: Power tool cleaning to min. St 2, mill scale free (ISO 8501-1:2007). Improved surface treatment (blast
cleaning to Sa 2½) will improve the performance .
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 Recommended
Roller Recommended

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

1 Recommended data given for recoating with the same generic type of paint .
2 The surface must be free from any chalking or any other contamination and if necessary , sufficiently roughened
prior to application.
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 .
