Alkyd Primer
Jotun Alkydprimer can be used as a primer or mid coat in marine and atmospheric environments. This alkyd coating is generally used for touch-up work and small scale purposes within the marine industry and will also act as a protective coating for a wide range of industrial structures - carbon steel and aluminium.
Please download the attached datasheet for more technical information, including further application specifications, drying and curing times, heat resistance and product compatibility.
When applying this alkyd primer, the surface should always be clean, dry and free-from loose materials and contamination. General surface preparation guidelines are included in the datasheet for wood, carbon steel and aluminium.
Jotun Alkyd Primer can be applied by spray, brush or roller - with rollers needing extra care to achieve the specified dry film thickness.
