Jotun Hardtop HB Matt, 18L, Suitable for Tough Industrial Matt Black Finishes - Black

This coating is a two-component epoxy with anti-corrosive and anti-rust properties, designed for durable protection of steel. It provides a matte black finish, with resistance to UV, chemicals, and abrasion, offering long-lasting protection in challenging environments.

It is intended for steel structures. For best results, ensure the surface is properly prepared (typically cleaned and blasted to standard) to achieve optimal adhesion and corrosion protection.

Jotun Hardtop HB is a two-component system. Mix the resin and hardener in the specified ratio and stir thoroughly until uniform. Apply using spray, brush, or roller, maintaining recommended film thickness. Allow appropriate curing under suitable temperature and humidity, and recoat within the prescribed window. Ensure the surface is clean and dry between coats.

Ideal for protecting steel in harsh environments such as bridges, offshore platforms, tanks, containers, ships, and other maritime or industrial steel structures, especially where high humidity or salt spray is encountered.

As a two-component epoxy, wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, respirator), ensure good ventilation, and follow the Safety Data Sheet instructions. Avoid skin and eye contact, store away from heat, and comply with local regulations for hazardous coatings.
