According to Jotun, its NORSOK compliant system 1 for application by brush and roller on mechanically prepared steel has gained approval for more than 20 different specifications with major asset owners.
It is specially designed for brush and roller application on power tooled and water jetted surfaces, achieving maintenance intervals up to 50 percent longer than standard products, while ensuring 40 percent time savings on paint maintenance, per Jotun.
“In an industry, where maintenance costs for operating assets are up to 10-15 times higher than applying coatings in the yards, the fact that you can reduce the number of coats needed, while also extending the maintenance intervals, is a hugely compelling benefit for owners,” said Lasse Isaksen, global concept director – Offshore.
“Traditionally, contractors may have needed as much as five or six coats to achieve the required system build-up, but with the new maintenance system, the full build-up can be achieved by just one coat of each product, resulting in significant efficiencies,” he added.
Jotun’s system is made up of a ceramically reinforced surface tolerant zinc rich epoxy, a high build surface tolerant epoxy primer and a one component polysiloxane topcoat. The system provides the same lifetime expectancy as a premium new building system intended for airless spray application.
Jotun will be demonstrating this product package April 30- May 3 at the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston.
