Jotun Solvalitt is a one component, physically drying silicone acrylic coating, heat resistant up to 600°C. Designed as a heat resistant coating suitable for insulated and non insulated surfaces, Solvalitt is recommended as a finish coat for insulated surfaces, in systems with suitable primers.
Jotun Solvalitt is a one component, physically drying silicone acrylic coating, heat resistant up to 600°C. Designed as a heat resistant coating suitable for insulated and non insulated surfaces, Solvalitt is recommended as a finish coat for insulated surfaces, in systems with suitable primers.
Can be used as primer, mid coat or finish coat in atmospheric environments. Suitable for properly prepared carbon steel, galvanised steel, stainless steel and aluminium substrates.
Due to variations in the thermal stability of pigments, slight colour changes can occur when the coating is heated. Note that such a colour change will not affect the performance of the coating.

| Substrate temperature | 5°C | 10°C | 23°C | 40°C |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surface (touch) dry | 1 h | 45 min | 30 min | 15 min |
| Walk-on-dry | 4 h | 3 h | 2 h | 1.5 h |
| Dry to over coat, minimum | 8 h | 5 h | 4 h | 3 h |
For maximum overcoating intervals, refer to the Application Guide (AG) for this product.
Drying and curing times are determined under controlled temperatures and relative humidity below 85 %, and at average of the DFT range for the product.
Freshly applied Solvalitt film may have slightly reduced mechanical properties. This effect can however be overcome by heating the paint system to 200 °C for approx. 1 hour.
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.

 Tom Genower on 2021-04-30 16:30:16 | Question:
Hi, I was wondering if this paint could be used to paint a wood burning stove. Would it be able to deal with the temperatures? And how should I cure it? Many thanks Tom |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Jotun Solvalitt can be applied to the external surfaces of a wood burner which are not in direct contact with flames. It will be touch dry in 30 minutes at 23°C but will only fully cure when the temperature reaches 200°C for approximately 1 hour. | |
