Product Data

The provided data is typical for factory produced products, subject to slight variation depending on colour. All data is valid for mixed paint. Gloss description: According to Jotun Performance Coatings' definition.

Film thickness per coat

Typical recommended specification range

• Dry film thickness: 100-250μm
• Wet film thickness: 100-255μm
• Theoretical spreading rate: 9.8-3.92m²/l

The actual spreading rate per coat may vary depending on the size of the Jotafloor Non Slip Aggregates used. Spreading rate depends on film thickness applied, type of texture, surface porosity, imperfections, temperature, wastage during painting etc.

Surface Preparation

To secure lasting adhesion to the subsequent product all surfaces shall be clean, dry and free from any contamination.

Laitance deposits are best removed by Planetary diamond disc grinder or by captive blasting followed by vacuum cleaning to remove dust debris. For old concrete, Jotun technical team should visit the site and appropriate surface preparation methodology should be recommended and that is to be followed.

Application

For more details, please consult the Application Guide.

Application Methods

The product can be applied by

• Spray: Use airless spray.
• Brush: Recommended for stripe coating and small areas, care must be taken to achieve the specified dry film thickness.
• Roller: Use small fibre pile 2 roller.

Conditions during application :

The temperature of the substrate should be minimum 10°C and at least 3°C above the dew point of the air, measured in the vicinity of the substrate. Good ventilation is usually required in confined areas to ensure proper drying. The moisture content in the substrate should not exceed 4 % (by weight). The coating should not be exposed to oil, chemicals or mechanical stress until fully cured.

This product should not be applied on to the surfaces which are known to, or likely to suffer from, rising dampness, potential osmosis problems or have a relative humidity greater than 80% as measured in accordance with BS 8203 Appendix A.

Product Mixing Ratio (by volume)

• Jotafloor Topcoat E Comp A - 4 part(s)
• Jotafloor Topcoat E Comp B (20) - 1 part(s)

NO PART MIXING - Use a slow speed drill and mixing paddle.

The temperature of base and curing agent is recommended to be 18°C or higher when the paint is mixed.

Part mixing of these components is not acceptable and will affect both performance and appearance of the finished floor.

Mixing should be carried out using a heavy duty, slow-speed drill with appropriate mixing paddle attachment. The individual components should be thoroughly stirred to disperse any settlement, then the Comp A and Comp B packs should be mixed together. The entire contents of the hardener (B) container should be added to the base (A) and mixed together for two minutes until a homogeneous mix is obtained. When a homogenous state has been achieved split the mixed paint in to two separate containers and continue mixing both portions of the mix for a further 2 minutes.

Thinner/Cleaning Solvent

Cleaning solvent : Jotun Thinner No. 17

Thinning of the product is not recommended.

Guiding Data for Airless Spray

• Nozzle tip (inch/1000): 21-25
• Pressure at nozzle (minimum): 150 bar/2100 psi

Drying and Curing time

Drying and curing times are determined under controlled temperatures and relative humidity below 85 %, and at average of the DFT range for the product.

Surface (touch) dry: The state of drying when slight pressure with a finger does not leave an imprint or reveal tackiness.

Walk-on-dry: Minimum time before the coating can tolerate normal foot traffic without permanent marks, imprints or other physical damage.

Dry to over coat, minimum: The recommended shortest time before the next coat can be applied.

Dry to over coat, maximum, atmospheric: The longest time allowed before the next coat can be applied.

Dried/cured for service: Minimum time before the coating can be permanently exposed to the intended environment/medium.

Induction Time and Pot Life

Product Compatibility

Depending on the actual exposure of the coating system, various primers and topcoats can be used in combination with this product. Some examples are shown below. Contact Jotun or Rawlins Technical for specific system recommendation.

• Previous coat: Jotafloor Sealer or Jotafloor SF PR 150 or Jotafloor Solvent Free Primer
