Marathon IQ2

Product description
This is a two component polyamine cured epoxy coating. It is a high build, solvent free product. It provides
superior resistance against impacts and abrasion. It has excellent ice friction performance and ice slip properties.
Can be used as primer, finish coat or as single coat system in atmospheric and immersed environments.
Suitable for properly prepared carbon steel substrates.

Typical use
Marine:
Recommended for underwater hull in newbuilding and drydocking. Designed as a premium solution where
abrasion resistance, impact resistance and ice slip properties are required. Suitable as anode shield around ICCP
anodes.

Protective:
Suitable for new construction and structural steel to be immersed or exposed to up to very high corrosive
environments. Recommended for offshore environments, including splash zones. Designed as a premium
solution where abrasion resistance, impact resistance and ice slip properties are required. Compatible with
cathodic protection systems.

Thinner/Cleaning solvent
Thinning is not recommended, but if needed max. 3 %.

Sag resistance will decrease with added thinner.

Note: Korean VOC regulation "Korea Clean Air Conservation Act" and its corresponding thinning limit will prevail
over recommended thinning volumes.
Cleaning solvent: Jotun Thinner No. 17

When thinners are used as a cleaning solvent, the use must be in accordance with prevailing local regulations.

Peak temperature duration max. 1 hour.

The temperatures listed relate to retention of protective properties. Aesthetic properties may suffer at these
temperatures.
Note that the coating will be resistant to various immersion temperatures depending on the specific chemical
and whether immersion is constant or intermittent. Heat resistance is influenced by the total coating system. If
used as part of a system, ensure all coatings in the system have similar heat resistance.

Product compatibility
Depending on the actual exposure of the coating system, various primers and topcoats can be used in
combination with this product. Some examples are shown below. Contact Jotun for specific system
recommendation.

Colour variation
When applicable, products primarily meant for use as primers or antifoulings may have slight colour variations
from batch to batch. Such products and epoxy based products used as a finish coat may chalk when exposed to
sunlight and weathering.

Colour and gloss retention on topcoats/finish coats may vary depending on type of colour, exposure
environment such as temperature, UV intensity etc., application quality and generic type of paint. Contact your
local Jotun office for further information.
