Penguard Express
Penguard Express is a product by Jotun which speeds up the paint schedule in the production. It is specially designed as a primer, mid coat and finish coat or as a single coat system in atmospheric environments. It is a fast drying, high solids, high build coating tailored to new construction application where fast dry-to-handle and over-coating times are required. It can be applied at sub-zero surface temperature.
The ideal solution for all steel substrates.
Exposed Steel Structures
Steel structures which are exposed to tough atmospheric environments, need a coating system that provides long term, durable protection. Typically the coating system can be based on a zinc rich primer, one or two coats of high build epoxy with a topcoat. Penguard Express will provide strong adhesion to both the zinc primer and the topcoat giving excellent protection. It is possible to apply even a three coat system in one day . At 10°C this can be completed within 10 hours.
Structural Steelwork
Structural steel for infrastructure projects is usually protected with one or two coats of an epoxy eventually with a topcoat. Application of a two coat Penguard Express coating system can be completed within 8 hours at 10°C or within 2 hours should the temperature reach 40°C.
