PENGUARD MIDCOAT
Product description
Penguard Midcoat is a high solids, low VOC, high build, two-pack epoxy coating. Available with
different hardeners for varying substrate temperatures, Standard (Std) and Cold Climate (CC).
Recommended use
Exclusively as a high build epoxy intermediate coat as a part of a multi layer coating system for
protection of steel structures. The intermediate coat is used to improve the barrier protection for anti
corrosive coating systems in a wide range of environments.

Surface preparation
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contamination. The surface should be assessed and
treated in accordance with ISO 8504.
Other surfaces
The coating may be used on other substrates. Please contact your local Jotun office for more
information.
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.
Application data
Mixing ratio (volume) 4:1
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.
