We no longer stock this product, but can recommend Jotun Balloxy HB Light as a great alternative.

BUYER NOTICE: Due to the complexities and risks within tank coatings, Jotun do not support the purchase of their Balloxy range through dealer/distributor channels. Jotun are happy to support with advice and documentation required for these types of coating projects but as they are removed from the end user the ability to control all risks involved with a coating project for a tank is limited. For these reasons, Jotun will only ensure the product quality within the can when Balloxy products are purchased via a distributor such as ourselves.

Jotun Balloxy HB Lumi is a version of Balloxy HB Light – containing luminous pigments. This surface tolerant, high solids, high build paint for water ballast tank is specially designed for areas where optimum surface preparation is not possible or desired. Provides long lasting protection in environments with high corrosivity. Can be used as primer, mid coat or finish coat in atmospheric and immersed environments. Suitable for properly prepared carbon steel, galvanised steel, stainless steel, aluminium and a range of aged coating surfaces. It can be applied at sub zero surface temperatures.

Features & Benefits

• IMO PSPC for WBT approved
• Visual DFT control
• Visual mixing control
• Surface tolerant – only water jetting and power tool needed
• For repair and maintenance

IMO PSPC Approved
Type approved for use at new building as well as for repair situations for both medium and long term protection. Type approval certificates from several class societies – please ask for details.

Compatible with ballast water treatment systems (BWTS)
When the approved BWTS systems are operated correctly and the active species’ concentration is not above 10 ppm, we see no detrimental effect on correctly applied and cured Jotun Balloxy HB Lumi.

Visual DFT control
In order to obtain correct dry film thickness (DFT), Balloxy HB Lumi has built-in a visual DFT – you will obtain proper hiding of the substrate when the minimum wet film thickness is applied.

Visual mixing control
Two components with different colours make it easy to see when you have obtained proper mixing.

Visual inspection – Luminescent paint
Jotun Balloxy HB Lumi aids inspection with the help of a UV lamp.

First coat inspection:

• Areas of under thickness show up as ‘black’ spots
• Areas of high dry film thickness appear much brighter than low thickness areas

Second coat inspection:

• Holidays will show the first coat only, and any other defects will be seen
