Jotamastic 90 offers the longest lifetime in any environment. It has exceptional corrosion resistance, is fast drying - greatly improving efficiency, and is designed to be safely applied from 100 to 300 microns in a single coat over a wide temperature and humidity range.
Jotamastic 90 is surface tolerant and can be applied on surfaces that appear dry but where moisture remains and flash rusting has begun. It is ideal for use when blast cleaning is not possible.
Due to the extensive colour range it can be colour matched with the topcoat improving coverage. It can also be used as finished coat in areas with low UV exposure or where colour retention is not the primary focus.
Note: The pack size (including hardener) is 5 litres and 20 litres nominal as the exact quantity of paint is colour dependent (the quantity of tint varies with each colour).
Use the Wintergrade version for application below 10°C and faster curing times in normal conditions.
Use the AL (Aluminium flake) version for increased coating flexibility, strength and an impenetrable barrier to water (only available in aluminium colour).
Recommended topcoats (above the waterline):
Standard: Hardtop XP
Premium: Hardtop AX
Eco: Hardtop CA

Sally Tooze at Willow Boats uses Jotamastic 90.
"We use an airless sprayer to apply Jotamastic 90. Thinned by 10% pretty much all year. We like the process as we are able to apply a reasonably high build (80 microns dft) per coat. We're down to 2 primer coats at this rate which sits well within ISO 12944 guidelines for protection in environment c3".
"The Jotamastic 90 sands well with 120 grade discs leaving us prepped and primed ; 2 boats at a time, inside 1 week. This leaves us plenty of time for the pretty stuff!"
Sally Tooze - August 2020
SML Epoxy Thinner is suitable for use with most two-pack epoxy primers and epoxy topcoats. This thinner is not suitable for two pack polyurethanes.
Thinners No. 17 is the solvent base for Jotun's Jotamastic, Penguard and Barrier range.
The addition of aluminium flakes provides extreme corrosion protection and exceptional water resistance. Particularly suited to submerged areas.
