Jotun Hardtop XP Gloss Topcoat Paint | Weather Resistant

Description

Jotun Hardtop XP is one of the most popular polyurethane topcoats – protecting millions of square metres every year. It is available worldwide and is a favourite topcoat among painters. Jotun Hardtop XP is extremely versatile and can be applied by airless spray, brush or roller on a wide range of primers. Roller application properties are excellent with good flow and finish.

Low dry spray makes the gloss level predictable and on-site friendly. Jotun Hardtop XP has great gloss and colour retention, and gives a better finish, less spills and lower paint consumption. Jotun Hardtop XP is recommended as a glossy topcoat over most epoxy systems where a durable, weather-resistant finish is required in a wide range of aggressive atmospheres.

Mike simcox on 30/04/2018	Question: Hi It says airless spray on hardtop xp? Can it not be sprayed using a normal air compressor ? Along with jotamastic 90 as a primer? Cheers
	Answer: Airless spray is preferred for Jotun Hardtop XP but air spray equipment can be used (see Application Guide for details - this can be downloaded from the 'Download' section on the product page). Jotun Jotamastic 90 can only be applied by airless spray.

Question: Can you please provide a recommended maintenance cycle for the Hardtop XP two pac topcoat applied to Jotun Intumescent paint system in an external environment ? Thanks

Answer:

There are several corrosive categories (ISO 12944-5, see table below) we have to consider when offering such advice. In different environments the coatings will have different durability. Applying two coats of Jotun Hardtop XP instead of one would also increase the life expectancy.

We normally suggest that the coating system should be inspected after 5 years and any remedial damage repaired. Equally if damaged in service we would strongly recommend urgent repairs. An undamaged coating system can last for up to 15 years assuming regular maintenance.

Corrosivity Category	Building Exterior	Building Interior
C1 Very Low	---	Heated buildings with clean atmospheres, .g. offices, shops, schools and hotels.
C2 Low	Atmospheres with low level pollution. Mostly rural areas.	Unheated buildings where condensation may occur, e.g. depots, sports halls.
C3 Medium	Urban and industrial atmospheres, moderate sulphur dioxide pollution. Coastal areas with low salinity.	Production rooms with high humidity and some air pollution e.g. food processing plants, laundries, breweries, dairies.
C4 High	Industrial areas and coastal areas with moderate salinity.	Chemical plants, swimming pools, industrial and coastal.
C5-I Very High Industrial	Industrial areas with high humidity and aggressive atmospheres.	Buildings or areas with almost permanent condensation and with high pollution.
C5-M Very High Marine	Coastal and offshore areas with high salinity.	Buildings or areas with almost permanent condensation and with high pollution.
