T.U. / Repair Procedure systems are only specified for minor and local (not scattered) damages
come from site welds-assemblying operations, collisions, transport, handling etc. Recommended
surface preparation for the repair is spot blasting to PSa 2 ½ (ISO 8501-1) with 50 mic. surface
profile. Local blasting equipments such as mini-blast can be utilized. In case of any restriction for
abrasive blasting works, St3 ISO 8501-1 with 25 mic surface profile (or SSPC SP11) can be accepted
as minimum requirement.
In case of damages are major areas or corrective action is required born of adhesion
failures/defects, main coating systems specified for the project shall be applied to recommended
substrate preparation as specified in application procedures. (Sa 2 ½ ISO 8501-1, Medium G ISO
8503-2)
Definition of local/minor damages: individual size is less than 20 cm x 20 cm, and the
accumulated area is less than 1 m2 or 0.1% of the coated surface. Mechanical repairs are only
accepted for minor/local areas of damage where abrasive blasting is expected to create more
damage to the coating system than actual benefit to the performance of the coating system.

3.2 Mixing of Paint
Great care for the mixing time of paint will be taken, and paint will be fully mixed before application
in order to keep the pigments in uniform suspension.
Mechanically stir the component(s) separately. Add component B slowly to component A while
continuing to stir component A. Continue stirring until the mixture is homogenous. Do not combine
the components until you are ready to start application and take note of the recommended induction
time for the product, especially in colder weather. The temperature of base and curing agent should
be 18°C or higher when the paint is mixed. Manual mixing is not recommended. Use mechanical
mixers.
Thinner/cleaning solvent by product and Mixing Ratio:

Product Name Thinner/Cleaning Solvent Mixing Ratio (by vol)
Jotamastic 90 Jotun Thinner No.17 3,5:1
Jotamastic 87 Jotun Thinner No.17 6:1std, 4:1 wg
In case partial mixing requires during repair - T.U applications, mixing ratios stated shall always be
followed. Measurement cups and/or rubbers should be utilized when the partial mix is required.
However, Jotun recommends full set mixing in order to avoid faulty mixing risks.
Amount of thinner usage may show variability depending on ambient - paint conditions and
application equipments. The products can be utilized without thinner. In case thinning is required,
it is recommended not to exceed 10% thinning by volume. This amount may be less or thinner is
not added depending on the product’s generic. It will be more beneficial to warm the products (and
4
the ambient & steel) as the first option instead of thinning more than 10%.
4. TOUCH – UP / REPAIR PROCEDURES FOR MINOR DAMAGES
Recommended repair procedure can be found below;
Procedure,
1. Surface should be inspected for oil and hydrocarbon contamination and in case of presence
of oil or derivatives, surface should be degreased with alkaline detergents in compliance
with ISO 12944-4. Agitate the surface to activate the cleaner and before it dries, wash the
treated area by Low Pressure Water Cleaning (LPWC, NACE No.5/SSPC SP-12, around 250-
300 bar) using fresh water to minimum Wa1 (ISO 8501-4). All salt, dust, weld smoke,
penetrant and other water soluble impurities-contaminants to be on repair areas should be
completely removed as well before the surface preparation according to ISO 12944-4.
2. Areas of existing coat which are adjacent to the damages should be examined until reaching
strickly adhering paint in order to ensure coating film’s soundness and define damaged area.
3. Damages exposed to bare steel;

Areas to be painted should be prepared to PSa 2 ½ ISO 8501-2 with 50 mic surface
profile. Local blasting equipments such as mini-blast can be utilized.
In case of any restriction for abrasive blasting works, areas to be painted should be prepared
alternatively to PSt3 ISO 8501-2 with min. 25 mic surface profile (or in accordance

jotun.com
to SSPC SP-11) as minimum requirement. Suitable methods are bristle blaster, disc
grinding, hand sanding, needle gun etc. Ensure the surface is free from mill scale, residual
corrosion, failed coating and is suitable for painting. Do not use power wire brushing due to
the risk of polishing the surface. The surface should appear rough and mat.
Damages exposed to coating;

4. Edges of the existing coatings (old coats) should be feathered. Abrade intact coatings around
the damaged areas to ensure a mat, rough surface profile, suitable for over coating.
Consecutive layers of coating shall be feathered to expose each layer and new coating shall
always overlap to an abraded existing layer.

5. Damages exposed to bare steel: Having finished the recommended surface preparation,
primer can be applied to required DFT. The other specified coats can be followed in
accordance with overcoating intervals.
Damages to the coatings: Having finished the recommended surface preparation, the
coating may be over coated with required coat/coats.
6. Minor TU repair applications can be carried out using brushes and rollers. For damages
exposed to bare steel, brush is recommended on first coat application due to required
penetration.

jotun.com
Brush:
Use a high quality, clean natural or synthetic bristle brush

with proper shape and size.
- When used as primer coat, a stiff brush is

recommended to secure proper substrate wetting and
to achieve good film build.
- When used as a finish coat a more long haired brush is

recommended to improve flow and appearance.
- To achieve specified dry film thickness it may be

necessary to apply multiple coats.
Roller:
Use a properly sized, high quality, clean roller with natural or

synthetic cover. Pre-wash new rollers in proper thinner to
remove loose fibres. Roller is not recommended for application
of primer coat. Addition of small volumes (5-10%) of thinner
will improve appearance when used as finish coat. To achieve
specified dry film thickness it may be necessary to apply 9
multiple coats.

General Statements
- Always observe the minimum and maximum over coating intervals. If the maximum over
coating interval is exceeded the surface should be carefully roughened in order to ensure
good intercoat adhesion.
- There may be tone / shade differences on TU areas. 10
- In case partial mixing requires during repair - T.U applications, mixing ratios stated in the
product’s TDS&AG forms shall always be followed. Measurement cups and/or rubbers should
be utilized when the partial mix is carried out. However, Jotun recommends to apply full set
mixing in order to prevent risk of faulty mixture.
- Minor TU repair applications can be carried out using brushes and rollers. While using
brushes and rollers more coats will be required in order to achieve specified DFT. For
damages exposed to bare steel, brush is recommended on first coat application due to
required penetration.

Scope
The Application Guide offers product details and recommended practices for the use of the product.
The data and information provided are not definite requirements. They are guidelines to assist with efficient and
safe use, and optimum service of the product. Adherence to the guidelines does not relieve the applicator of
responsibility for ensuring that the work meets specification requirements.
Jotuns liability is in accordance with general product liability rules.
The Application Guide (AG) must be read in conjunction with the relevant specification, Technical Data Sheet
(TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for all the products used as part of the coating system.
Projects specified to the requirements in Performance Standard

for Protective Coatings (PSPC)
For application and repair / maintenance requirements according to IMO MSC.215 (82) for dedicated Sea Water
Ballast Tanks (WBT), and/or to IMO MSC.288 (87) for Cargo Oil Tanks of Crude Oil Tankers (COT) reference is
made to the PSPC Appendix in this document.
Referred standards
Reference is generally made to ISO Standards. When using standards from other regions it is recommended to
reference only one corresponding standard for the substrate being treated.
Surface preparation
The required quality of surface preparation can vary depending on the area of use, expected durability and if
applicable, project specification.
When preparing new surfaces, maintaining already coated surfaces or aged coatings it is necessary to remove all
contamination that can interfere with coating adhesion, and prepare a sound substrate for the subsequent
product.
Inspect the surface for hydrocarbon and other contamination and if present, remove with an alkaline detergent.
Agitate the surface to activate the cleaner and before it dries, wash the treated area using fresh water.
Paint solvents (thinners) shall not be used for general degreasing or preparation of the surface for painting due
to the risk of spreading dissolved hydrocarbon contamination. Paint thinners can be used to treat small localized
areas of contamination such as marks from marker pens. Use clean, white cotton cloths that are turned and
replaced often. Do not bundle used solvent saturated cloths. Place used cloths into water.
Process sequence
Surface preparation and coating should normally be commenced only after all welding, degreasing, removal of
sharp edges, weld spatter and treatment of welds is complete. It is important that all hot work is completed
before coating commences.
Soluble salts removal
Date of issue: 11 January 2018 Page: 1/12
This Application Guide supersedes those previously issued.

The Application Guide (AG) must be read in conjunction with the relevant specification, Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety
Data Sheet (SDS) for all the products used as part of the coating system.
For your nearest local Jotun office, please visit our website at www.jotun.com.
Application Guide
Jotamastic 87
Soluble salts have a negative impact on the coating systems performance, especially when immersed. Jotun's
general recommendations for maximum soluble salts (sampled and measured as per ISO 8502-6 and -9)
content on a surface are:
Water ballast tanks (PSPC): 50 mg/m²
For areas exposed to (ISO 12944-2):

C1-C4: 200 mg/m²
C5M or C5I: 100 mg/m²
Im1-Im3: 80 mg/m²
Carbon steel
Initial rust grade
The steel shall preferably be Rust Grade A or B (ISO 8501-1). It is technically possible to apply the coating to
rust grades C and D, but it is practically challenging to ensure specified film thickness on such a rough surface,
hence risk of reduced lifetime of the coating system. When steel of Rust Grade C or D is coated, the frequency of
inspection and testing should be increased.
For steel with Rust Grades C or D, contact your nearest Jotun office for advice.
Metal finishing
For areas in corrosivity category C1 to C4 (ISO 12944-2) all irregularities, burrs, slivers, slag and spatter on
welds, sharp edges and corners shall conform to minimum grade P2 (ISO 8501-3) Table 1, or as specified. All
edges shall have a rounded radius of minimum 2 mm subjected to three pass grinding or equally effective
method.
For areas in corrosivity category C5 the requirement is conformance to grade P3 (ISO 8501-3) Table 1.
Defective welds shall be replaced and treated to an acceptable finish before painting. Temporary welds and
brackets shall be ground to a flat finish after removal from the parent metal.
Pitting repair
Pittings in steel can be difficult to cover fully with most coatings. In some areas it is practically feasible to use
filler to fill pittings. This should then be done either after the initial surface preparation or after application of
first coat.
Abrasive blast cleaning
Cleanliness
After pre-treatment is complete, the surface shall be dry abrasive blast cleaned to Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1) using
abrasive media suitable to achieve a sharp and angular surface profile.
Surface profile
Recommended surface profile 30-85 µm, grade Fine to Medium G (ISO 8503-2).
Abrasive media quality
The selected abrasive must be compatible with both the surface to be blast cleaned and the specified coating
system. The abrasive shall meet specifications as per relevant parts of ISO 11124 (Specification for metallic
blast-cleaning abrasives), or ISO 11126 (Specification for non-metallic blast-cleaning abrasives). It should be
sampled and tested as per relevant parts of ISO 11125 (metallic abrasives) or ISO 11127 (non-metallic
abrasives). Dry storage of abrasive and shelter for blasting pots is necessary to prevent equipment becoming
clogged with damp abrasive.
All abrasive blast media used should be new and not recirculated, with the exception of Steel Grit. If this is
utilized the circulation process must include a cleaning process.
Compressed air quality
The supply of clean air to blasting pots must be secured to avoid contamination of abrasive and thereby of blast
cleaned surfaces. Compressors must be fitted with sufficient traps for oil and water. It is also recommended to fit
two water separators at the blasting machine to ensure a supply of moisture-free air to the abrasive chamber.
Dust contamination

Application Guide
Jotamastic 87
At the completion of abrasive blasting the prepared surface shall be cleaned to remove residues of corrosion
products and abrasive media, and inspected for surface particulate contamination. Maximum contamination level
is rating 2 (ISO 8502-3) as per Figure 1. Dust size no greater than class 2.
Hand and Power Tool Cleaning
Power tool cleaning
Surfaces to be coated shall be prepared by mechanical preparation methods to minimum St 2 (ISO 8501-1).
Suitable methods are disc grinding, hand sanding or hand wire brushing. Ensure the surface is free from mill
scale, residual corrosion, failed coating and is suitable for painting. If power wire brushing is used, care should
be taken not to polish the metal surface, as this can reduce adhesion of the coating. The surface should appear
rough and mat.
Overlapping zones to intact coating shall have all leading edges feathered back by sanding methods to remove
all sharp leading edges and establish a smooth transition from the exposed substrate to the surrounding coating.
Consecutive layers of coating shall be feathered to expose each layer and new coating shall always overlap to an
abraded existing layer. Abrade intact coatings around the damaged areas for a minimum 100 mm to ensure a
mat, rough surface profile, suitable for over coating.
Water jetting
High pressure water jetting surface preparation refers to ISO 8501-4, for substrates previously coated either
with a full coating system (surface DC A, DC B, DC C) or shop primer (surface DP I and DP Z). The surface
definition for existing coating (DC) refers to the degree of coating breakdown according to ISO 4628.
It is important before considering hydro jetting, to ensure that the specified coating system is compatible with
the existing coating system. High pressure water jetting does not remove mill scale or create surface roughness,
and is only useful for surfaces with an initial roughness suitable for the subsequent coat.
Optimum performance is achieved with preparation grade Wa 2 (ISO 8501-4). Minimum preparation grade is Wa
1. For DP I and DP Z surface Wa 2 is accepted.
Maximum accepted grade of flash rust for any preparation is FR M (ISO 8501-4).
Alternatively minimum approved preparation grade is SSPC-SP WJ-2/ NACE WJ-2, Very thorough cleaning.
Maximum accepted flash rust grade is Moderate (M).
Coated surfaces
Verification of existing coatings including primers
When the surface is an existing coating, verify with technical data sheet and application guide of the involved
products, both over coatability and the given maximum over coating interval.
Over coating
It is important before considering hydro jetting, to ensure that the specified coating system is compatible with
Shop primers
Shop primers are accepted as temporary protection of steel plates and profiles. Refer to the technical data sheet
for the generic types accepted. Certain standards require pre-approval of the shop primer as part of a complete
system. Contact your nearest Jotun office for specific system compatibility. Before being overcoated the shop
primer must be fully cured, clean, dust free, dry and undamaged. Inorganic zinc shop primers must be free of
zinc salts (white rust).
Corroded and damaged areas must be blast cleaned to minimum Sa 1 (ISO 8501-1).

Film thickness measurement

Wet film thickness (WFT) measurement and calculation
To ensure correct film thickness, it is recommended to measure the wet film thickness continuously during
application using a painter's wet film comb (ISO 2808 Method 1A). The measurements should be done as soon
as possible after application.
Fast drying paints may give incorrect (too low) readings resulting in excessive dry film thickness. For multi layer
physically drying (resoluble) coating systems the wet film thickness comb may give too high readings resulting
in too low dry film thickness of the intermediate and top coats.
Use a wet-to-dry film calculation table (available on the Jotun Web site) to calculate the required wet film
thickness per coat.
Dry film thickness (DFT) measurement
When the coating has cured to hard dry state the dry film thickness can be checked to SSPC PA 2 or equivalent
standard using statistical sampling to verify the actual dry film thickness. Measurement and control of the WFT
and DFT on welds is done by measuring adjacent to and no further than 15 cm from the weld.
Ventilation
Sufficient ventilation is very important to ensure proper drying/curing of the film.

When a solvent containing coating is applied in a confined space, for example a cargo tank, the solvent will
evaporate and make an explosive atmosphere unless the solvent concentration is immediately reduced to a not-
explosive level. Hence, artificial ventilation will be required. This ventilation must be maintained during the paint
application and drying in accordance with the TDS data. The ventilation shall ensure that the solvent
concentration in the tank at no time exceeds the maximum permitted (i.e. 0.1%).
Detailed background information about ventilation arrangements and calculations is given in the Code of
Practice for Tank Coating, available at the TSS home page. There one will also find a “Ventilation calculator”
that can be used for different coatings and thinners.
Stripe coating
The stripe coat sequence can be either of the following:

1. Surface preparation, stripe coat, full coat.
2. Surface preparation, full coat, stripe coat. This sequence can be used when a large substrate area has been
prepared and leaving the substrate exposed for a long time while doing stripe coating could lead to surface
deterioration.
It is important to pay special attention to edges, openings, rear sides of stiffeners, scallops etc. and to apply a
stripe coat to these areas where the spray fan may not reach or deposit an even film.
When applying a stripe coat to bare metal use only a stiff, round stripe coating brush to ensure surface wetting
and filling of pits in the surface.
Stripe coating shall be of a different colour to the main primer coat and the topcoat colour and should be applied
in an even film thickness, avoiding excessive brush marks in order to avoid entrapped air. Care should be taken
to avoid excessive film thickness. Pay additional attention to pot life during application of stripe coats.
Jotun recommends a minimum of one stripe coat. However, in extremely aggressive exposure conditions there
may be good reason to specify two stripe coats.
Coating loss
The consumption of paint should be controlled carefully, with thorough planning and a practical approach to
reducing loss. Application of liquid coatings will result in some material loss. Understanding the ways that
coating can be lost during the application process, and making appropriate changes, can help reducing material
loss.
Some of the factors that can influence the loss of coating material are:
- type of spray gun/unit used
- air pressure used for airless pump or for atomization
- orifice size of the spray tip or nozzle
- fan width of the spray tip or nozzle
- the amount of thinner added
- the distance between spray gun and substrate
- the profile or surface roughness of the substrate. Higher profiles will lead to a higher "dead volume"
- the shape of the substrate target
- environmental conditions such as wind and air temperature

Other conditions that can affect drying / curing / over coating
Adding anti-skid to the coating system
Anti skid aggregate should only be added in the final coat, and should not be used in single coat systems.
Spread the aggregate evenly on the surface before half of time to Surface dry. Use Jotun Anti-skid, medium
particle size (400 - 600 µm) for coatings applied in 150 to 400 µm DFT. The recommended usage is 2.5 - 3.3 kg
per 10 litres of paint.
Repair of coating system
Damages to the coating layers:

Prepare the area through sandpapering or grinding, followed by thorough cleaning/vacuuming. When the
surface is clean and dry the coating may be over coated by itself or by another product, ref. original
specification.
Always observe the maximum over coating intervals. If the maximum over coating interval is exceeded the
surface should be carefully roughened in order to ensure good intercoat adhesion.
Damages exposing bare substrate:

Remove all rust, loose paint, grease or other contaminants by spot blasting, mechanical grinding, water and/or
solvent washing. Feather edges and roughen the overlap zone of surrounding intact coating. Apply the coating
system specified for repair.
Areas with too low DFT:

Roughen the surface, vacuum and apply new coating according to specification.
Areas with too high DFT:

Areas with with DFT above maximum specified for isolated areas shall be ground down to acceptable thickness,
or down to bare steel and recoated.
Repair of damaged areas

Application Guide
Jotamastic 87
Sags and runs can be caused by too high wet film thickness, too much thinner added or the spray gun used too
close to the surface.
Repair by using a paint brush to smooth the film when still wet.
Sand down to a rough, even surface and re-coat if the coating is cured.
Orange peel can be caused by poor flow/levelling properties of the paint, poor atomization of the paint, thinner
evaporating too fast or the spray gun held too close to the surface.
This can be rectified by abrading the surface and applying an additional coat after having adjusted the
application properties or the application technique.
Dry spray can be caused by poor atomization of the paint, spray gun held too far from the surface, high air
temperature, thinner evaporating too fast or coating applied in windy conditions. Sand down to a rough even
surface and re-coat.
Pinholes can be caused by entrapped solvents in the film or by incorrect application technique. Pinholes can be
repaired as per procedure for damages to the coating layer or to the substrate, ref. above.
Surface finish
Amine sweating may occur when amine cured epoxy coatings are cured at low temperatures and/or humid
conditions. Amine sweating can sometimes be observed on the surface as a sticky residue or as discolouration.
It can seriously affect the adhesion of the subsequent coat and must be removed. If amine sweating is
suspected, wash the surface with warm water and detergent, and rinse thoroughly with water. Light abrasion of
the surface and removal of dust before over coating will further secure good intercoat adhesion.
Amine sweating can be minimized by observing the induction time stated in TDS.
Coating film continuity
Jotun recommends that all tank coating systems are pinhole/defect tested either by ASTM D 5162, test methods
A or B as appropriate for the actual dry film thickness after cured for service.
In general test method A (Low voltage wet sponge) is recommended for dry film thickness up to 500 µm using
90 Volts. For higher film thickness test method B (High voltage spark test) is recommended using 400 Volts per
100 µm.
Alternatively by visual observation of pin hole rusting after water immersion. For water immersion test use of
seawater is recommended. Immersion time should be at least 24 hours. If fresh water is used the immersion
time should be at least 48 hours.
All noted defects shall be repaired using best practical means and methods.
Performance Standard for Protective Coatings (PSPC)

PSPC Appendix (WBT)

(ISO 8501-4) using fresh water.
Ventilation
Sufficient ventilation must be provided to remove the solvent evaporating from the coating. When mixed, this
product requires exchange of 56 m³ air per litre paint in order to dilute the evaporating solvent to a safe
concentration in the tank (i.e. less than 10 % of the Lower Explosion Limit, LEL). The solvent gas concentration
in the tank must at all times be kept below this level, hence sufficient ventilation must be maintained during the
whole application and drying periods.
Environmental conditions
Coating shall be applied under controlled humidity and surface conditions, in accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications. In addition, coating shall not be applied when:
- the surface temperature is less than 3 °C above the dew point
- the surface is wet or is likely to become wet
Testing of coating
Destructive testing should be avoided.
Dry film thickness shall be measured after each coat for quality control purposes. The total dry film thickness
shall be documented after completion of the final coat, using appropriate thickness gauges.

Soluble salts removal
Date of issue: 26 August 2019 Page: 1/13

Application Guide
Jotamastic 90
Soluble salts have a negative impact on the coating systems performance, especially when immersed. Jotun's
general recommendations for maximum soluble salts (sampled and measured as per ISO 8502-6 and -9)
content on a surface are:
For areas exposed to (ISO 12944-2):
C1-C4: 200 mg/m²
C5: 100 mg/m²
Im1-Im3: 80 mg/m²
Carbon steel
Initial rust grade
The steel shall preferably be Rust Grade A or B (ISO 8501-1). It is technically possible to apply the coating to
rust grades C and D, but it is practically challenging to ensure specified film thickness on such a rough surface,
hence risk of reduced lifetime of the coating system. When steel of Rust Grade C or D is coated, the frequency of
inspection and testing should be increased. For steel with Rust Grades C or D, contact your nearest Jotun office
for advice.
Metal finishing
For areas in corrosivity category C1 to C4 (ISO 12944-2) all irregularities, burrs, slivers, slag and spatter on
welds, sharp edges and corners shall conform to minimum grade P2 (ISO 8501-3) Table 1, or as specified.
For areas in corrosivity category C5 the requirement is conformance to grade P3 (ISO 8501-3) Table 1.
Defective welds shall be replaced and treated to an acceptable finish before painting. Temporary welds and
brackets shall be ground to a flat finish after removal from the parent metal.
Pitting repair
Pittings in steel can be difficult to cover fully with most coatings. In some areas it is practically feasible to use
filler to fill pittings. This should then be done either after the initial surface preparation or after application of
first coat.
Cleanliness
After pre-treatment is complete, the surface shall be dry abrasive blast cleaned to Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1) using
abrasive media suitable to achieve a sharp and angular surface profile.
Surface profile
Recommended surface profile 30-85 µm, grade Fine to Medium G (ISO 8503-2).
Abrasive media quality
The selected abrasive must be compatible with both the surface to be blast cleaned and the specified coating
system. The abrasive shall meet specifications as per relevant parts of ISO 11124 (Specification for metallic
blast-cleaning abrasives), or ISO 11126 (Specification for non-metallic blast-cleaning abrasives). It should be
sampled and tested as per relevant parts of ISO 11125 (metallic abrasives) or ISO 11127 (non-metallic
abrasives). Dry storage of abrasive and shelter for blasting pots is necessary to prevent equipment becoming
clogged with damp abrasive.
All abrasive blast media used should be new and not recirculated, with the exception of steel grit. If this is
utilized the circulation process must include a cleaning process.
Compressed air quality
The supply of clean air to blasting pots must be secured to avoid contamination of abrasive and thereby of blast
cleaned surfaces. Compressors must be fitted with sufficient traps for oil and water. It is also recommended to fit
two water separators at the blasting machine to ensure a supply of moisture-free air to the abrasive chamber.
Dust contamination
At the completion of abrasive blasting the prepared surface shall be cleaned to remove residues of corrosion
products and abrasive media, and inspected for surface particulate contamination. Maximum contamination level
is rating 2 (ISO 8502-3) as per Figure 1. Dust size no greater than class 2.

Application Guide
Jotamastic 90
Power tool cleaning
Surfaces to be coated shall be prepared by mechanical preparation methods to minimum St 2 (ISO 8501-1).
Suitable methods are disc grinding, hand sanding or hand wire brushing. If power wire brushing is used, care
should be taken not to polish the metal surface, as this can reduce adhesion of the coating. The surface should
appear rough and mat.
Overlapping zones to intact coating shall have all leading edges feathered back by sanding methods to remove
all sharp leading edges and establish a smooth transition from the exposed substrate to the surrounding coating.
Consecutive layers of coating shall be feathered to expose each layer and new coating shall always overlap to an
abraded existing layer. Abrade intact coatings around the damaged areas for a minimum 100 mm to ensure a
mat, rough surface profile, suitable for over coating.
Water jetting
It is important before considering water jetting, to ensure that the specified coating system is compatible with
Optimum performance is achieved with preparation grade Wa 2½ (ISO 8501-4). Minimum preparation grade is
Wa 1. For DP I and DP Z surface Wa 2 is accepted.
Maximum accepted grade of flash rust for any preparation is M (ISO 8501-4).
Alternatively minimum approved preparation grade is SSPC-SP WJ-2/ NACE WJ-2, Very thorough cleaning.
Maximum accepted flash rust grade is Moderate (M).
Galvanised steel
The galvanised finish shall be smooth as is consistent for a protective coating and shall have no sharp fins, sharp
edges, dross or zinc ash on the surface. If present, remove by mechanical cleaning methods.
After removal of excess zinc and surface defects the area to be coated shall be degreased to ISO 12944-4, Part
6.2.4 Alkaline Cleaning. The galvanised surface shall be sweep blast-cleaned with the nozzle angle at 45-60°
from perpendicular at reduced nozzle pressure to create a sharp and angular surface profile using approved non-
metallic abrasive media. As a guide, a surface profile 25-55 µm, grade Fine to Medium; Ry5 (ISO 8503-2)
should be achieved.
Aluminium
After pre-treatment of welds, sharp edges, removal of weld spatter and other surface contamination the surface
shall be degreased using an alkaline detergent which is agitated with non-metallic brushes followed by rinsing
using clean fresh water. The surface shall then be dry abrasive blast cleaned with an approved non-metallic
abrasive media to create a sharp and angular surface profile. As a guide, a surface profile between 25-55 μm,
grade Fine to Medium G; Ry5 (ISO 8503-2) should be achieved.
shall be degreased using an alkaline detergent which is agitated with non-metallic brushes and then fresh water
rinsed. The cleaned surface shall be then hand or machine abraded with non-metallic abrasives or bonded fibre
machine or hand abrasive pads to remove all surface polish and to impart a scratch pattern to the surface. Do
not use high speed rotational sanders.

surface profile between 45-75 µm, grade Fine to Medium, Ry5 (ISO 8503-2) should be achieved.
shall be degreased with an alkaline detergent, followed by rinsing using clean fresh water and hand or machine
abraded with non-metallic abrasives or bonded fibre machine or hand abrasive pads to remove all polish and to
impart a scratch pattern to the surface. Do not use high speed rotational sanders.
Concrete
Concrete should be a minimum of 28 days old, applying any coating before this time will greatly increase the
chance of the coating de-bonding. The moisture content of the concrete should be checked prior to the
application of the coating and should not be greater than 5%. Concrete substrates should be mechanically
prepared to leave a clean, sound and dry base on which a coating system can be applied.
Clean – Free of oils, grease, dust, dirt, chemicals, loose coating, curing compounds, form release oils, sealers or
hardeners.
Sound – Concrete that has unsound areas (voids, hollow spots, and friable surface) may have to be removed,
replaced or repaired with materials that are compatible with the selected coating system.
Dry – It is important to address dryness because most coatings require a dry surface for proper adhesion.
Moisture contained within the concrete that moves towards the surface through the pores of the concrete may
prevent adequate coating adhesion.
Dry abrasive blast cleaning to SSPC-SP 13/NACE No. 6. Where the concrete has become contaminated with oils,
grease, or fuels, water emulsifiable degreasers-cleaners may be used to remove these contaminants. It is
important to only clean an area that can be fully washed down after degreasing before any of the cleaner can
dry on the surface.
Ultra high pressure water jetting can be used to remove laitance and reveal blowholes and imperfections.
Ensure concrete is dry before coating application.
Blast cleaning
Dry abrasive blast cleaning to SSPC-SP 13/NACE No. 6. All prepared surfaces should then have all “blow holes”
and other surface defects filled with suitable filler that is compatible with the primer and finish coat system to
ensure that the coating can be applied over a smooth and regular substrate.
Diamond disc grinding
Diamond grind the surface to remove all laitance and expose the aggregates.
Coated surfaces
Over coating
It is important before considering water jetting, to ensure that the specified coating system is compatible with
Shop primers

Application Guide
Jotamastic 90
Shop primers are accepted as temporary protection of steel plates and profiles. Refer to the technical data sheet
for the generic types accepted. Certain standards require pre-approval of the shop primer as part of a complete
system. Contact your nearest Jotun office for specific system compatibility. Before being overcoated the shop
primer must be fully cured, clean, dust free, dry and undamaged. Inorganic zinc shop primers must be free of
zinc salts (white rust).
Corroded and damaged areas must be blast cleaned to minimum Sa 1 (ISO 8501-1).

Fast drying paints may give incorrect (too low) readings resulting in excessive dry film thickness. For multi layer
physically drying (resoluble) coating systems the wet film thickness comb may give too high readings resulting
in too low dry film thickness of the intermediate and top coats.
Use a wet-to-dry film calculation table (available on the Jotun Web site) to calculate the required wet film

Roughen the surface, vacuum and apply new coating according to specification.
Areas with too high DFT:

Areas with with DFT above maximum specified for isolated areas shall be ground down to acceptable thickness,
or down to bare steel and recoated.
Repair of damaged areas
Sags and runs can be caused by too high wet film thickness, too much thinner added or the spray gun used too
close to the surface.
Repair by using a paint brush to smooth the film when still wet.
Sand down to a rough, even surface and re-coat if the coating is cured.
Orange peel can be caused by poor flow/levelling properties of the paint, poor atomization of the paint, thinner
evaporating too fast or the spray gun held too close to the surface.
This can be rectified by abrading the surface and applying an additional coat after having adjusted the
application properties or the application technique.

For steel preparation, PSPC makes reference to grade P2 (ISO 8501-3). All sharp edges are to be rounded to a
radius of minimum 2 mm, subject to a three-pass grinding, or treated with an alternative process giving an edge
profile that results in a dry film thickness retention corresponding to or better than a three pass grinding. Sharp
edges mean all edges except natural rounded/rolled edges of sections.
Surface treatment
Cleanliness minimum Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1) on damaged shop primer and welds.
Surface treatment after erection
Cargo oil tanks (COT), IMO Resolution MSC.288 (87)

Erection joints minimum St 3 or Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1) where practicable.
For inner bottom:

- Damages up to 20 % of the area to be coated to be treated to minimum St 3

Application Guide
Jotamastic 90
For underdeck:
- Damages up to 3 % of area to be coated to be treated to minimum St 3
- Coating in overlap shall be feathered
Profile requirements
In case of full or partial blasting surface profile 30-75 µm (ISO 8503-2).
Dust
Dust quantity rating 1 for dust size class 3 or larger (ISO 8202-3).
Lower dust size classes to be removed if visible without magnification on the surface to be coated.

(ISO 8501-4) using fresh water.
Ventilation
Sufficient ventilation must be provided to remove the solvent evaporating from the coating. When mixed, this
product requires exchange of 56 m³ air per litre paint in order to dilute the evaporating solvent to a safe
concentration in the tank (i.e. less than 10 % of the Lower Explosion Limit, LEL). The solvent gas concentration
in the tank must at all times be kept below this level, hence sufficient ventilation must be maintained during the
whole application and drying periods.
Environmental conditions
Coating shall be applied under controlled humidity and surface conditions, in accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications. In addition, coating shall not be applied when:
- the surface temperature is less than 3 °C above the dew point
- the surface is wet or is likely to become wet
Testing of coating
Destructive testing should be avoided.
Dry film thickness shall be measured after each coat for quality control purposes. The total dry film thickness
shall be documented after completion of the final coat, using appropriate thickness gauges.
