Technical Data

JOTAMASTIC 87

Product description
Jotamastic 87 is a two-pack surface tolerant, abrasion resistant, high solids epoxy mastic coating
which may be applied in high film thickness. Available with different hardeners for varying substrate
temperatures, Standard (Std) and Cold Climate (CC)/Wintergrade (WG). This product is a part of a
complete system which is certified not to spread flames.

Recommended use
Steel where blast cleaning may not be possible and on hydrojetted surfaces still being moist where
gloss and colour retention is of minor importance. Can be used alone or in combination with various
systems of primers and topcoats. Gives excellent corrosion protection both in salt and fresh water. If
exposed to sunlight chalking may occur.

Surface preparation
All surfaces should be clean and free from contamination. The surface should be assessed and
treated in accordance with ISO 8504.

Bare steel
Cleanliness: Power tool cleaning to min. St 2, mill scale free (ISO 8501-1:1988). Improved surface
treatment (blast cleaning to Sa 2½) will improve the performance. In case of hydrojetting the flash
rust degree shall not exceed moderate in SSPC and NACE standards for water prepared surfaces.

Shopprimed steel
Clean, dry and undamaged approved shopprimer.

Coated surfaces
Clean, dry and undamaged compatible primer. Contact your local Jotun office for more information.
For maintenance UHPWJ to WJ2 (NACE No.5/SSPC-SP 12) or Power tool cleaning to min. St 2 for
rusted areas

Other surfaces
The coating may be used on other substrates. Please contact your local Jotun office for more
information.

Condition during application

The temperature of the substrate should be minimum +10°C (Std) (-5°C in CC/WG) and at least 3°C
above the dew point of the air, temperature and relative humidity measured in the vicinity of the
substrate. Good ventilation is required in confined areas to ensure proper drying.

Hydrojetting of steel surface makes a wet surface. The surrounding air must have a relative humidity
not exceeding 85 %. Before painting the surface shall not be glossy with moisture, but can have a
patchy appearance.

Application methods
Spray Use airless spray
Brush Recommended for stripe coating and small areas, care must be taken to achieve the
specified dry film thickness.
Roller May be used for small areas but not recommended for first primer coat, however
when using roller application care must be taken to apply sufficient material in order to
achieve the specified dry film thickness.

Application data
Mixing ratio (volume) Std Comp. B:
6 parts Comp. A (base) to be mixed thoroughly with 1 part Comp. B
(curing agent).
CC/WG Comp.B:
4 parts Comp. A (base) to be mixed thoroughly with 1 part Comp. B
(curing agent).
Induction time 10 minutes.
Pot life (23°C) Std Comp. B:
2 hours
CC/WG Comp. B:
1 hour

Thinner/Cleaner Jotun Thinner No. 17

Guiding data airless spray
Pressure at nozzle 15 MPa (150 kp/cm², 2100 psi).
Nozzle tip 0.58-0.79 mm (0.023-0.031")
Spray angle 40-80°
Filter Check to ensure that filters are clean.

Note * The temperature of the mixture of base and curing agent is

recommended to be at least 15°C, otherwise extra solvent may be
required to obtain correct viscosity.
* Too much solvent results in lower sag resistance and slower cure.
* If extra solvent is necessary, this should be added after mixing of
the two components.

Drying time
Drying times are generally related to air circulation, temperature, film thickness and number of coats,
and will be affected correspondingly. The figures given in the table are typical with:
* Good ventilation (Outdoor exposure or free circulation of air)
* Typical film thickness
* One coat on top of inert substrate

1. Provided the surface is free from chalking and other contamination prior to application, there is
normally no overcoating time limit. Best intercoat adhesion occurs, however, when the
subsequent coat is applied before preceding coat has cured. If the coating has been exposed to
direct sunlight for some time, special attention must be paid to surface cleaning and
mattening/removal of the surface layer in order to obtain good adhesion.

The given data must be considered as guidelines only. The actual drying time/times before recoating
may be shorter or longer, depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, underlying paint system,
requirement for early handling and mechanical strength etc. A complete system can be described on
a system sheet, where all parameters and special conditions could be included.

Hardtop AS 1 x 50 µm (Dry Film Thickness)

Other systems m a y be specified, depending on area of u s e
