Jotun Muki EPS

Jotun Muki EPS is a two component, chemically curing epoxy coating. It is a shop primer designed for high welding and cutting speed, giving reduced weld porosity and back burning. It is fast drying making it suitable for stacking shortly after application. Jotun Muki EPS can be used as a temporary primer in a new construction phase, as a holding primer or as a primer in a complete coating system in atmospheric and immersed environments.

Jotun Muki EPS is suitable for properly prepared carbon steel substrates and recommended to be applied in an automated shop priming line in lower film thicknesses or applied by airless spray when used as holding primer. Compatible with advanced welding technologies including MIG, MAG and G-FCAW when applied in low film thickness.

Typical use
Marine: Suitable as shop primer or holding primer on vessels.
Protective: Suitable for structural steel and piping to be exposed to corrosive environments up to very high and immersed.

Recommended for offshore environments, refineries, power plants, bridges, buildings, mining equipment and general structural steel.
