Jotun Announces Global Launch of Solvent-Free Coating
SANDEFJORD, Norway — Jotun is launching its Jotacote Universal S120 primer to the global market after three years of success in the North East Asian and West European market. Jotacote Universal S120 is the world’s first PSPC approved single-coat, solvent-free system, with approvals since 2017. It has now been applied to a variety of vessels, including 12 delivered vessels with six more under construction and an additional four projects secured.
Jotacote Universal S120 was introduced to leading yards in North East Asia and West Europe in 2017. The solution, the first of its kind on the market, features patent pending Covallox™ technology that incorporates covalent bonds in its chemistry on top of the already existing hydrogen bonds typical of conventional epoxy. This offers unrivalled substrate adhesion providing durability and anticorrosive properties targeted at lifetime protection of the vessel, particularly in the ballast tanks.
