The intumescent hydrocarbon fire protection coating Jotachar JF750 XT from Jotun has been tested for all climates.
Jotun
has recently announced the launch of Jotachar JF750 XT, an intumescent hydrocarbon passive fire protection coating specifically developed for oil, gas and energy industry assets installed in all kinds of climates and extensively tested in the only Arctic test station for coatings of the world.
Jotachar JF750 XT is the latest addition to the fire and cryogenic spill protection coatings portfolio of the company, designed to protect critical steel structures against combined cryogenic spill, hydrocarbon and jet fire scenarios. It features a low installed thickness combined with the advantage of mesh free application, assuring a fast project completion with substantial efficiency improvements. Furthermore, the self-reinforced flexible binder technology ensures that any risk of damage during construction, lifting and commissioning is minimised.
Developed using a unique patent-pending technology that allows to deliver exceptional performances even when exposed to extreme environments, Jotachar JF750 XT has been thoroughly tested both by the company and third partis for five years in a wide range of external environments, including harsh desert as well as sub-tropical conditions and the Svalbard test facility of Jotun.
“Oil, gas and petrochemical companies are increasingly investing in facilities located or constructed in some of the world’s most challenging environments. They need to be confident that their assets will have certified protection in the event of fire or cryogenic spill in such harsh conditions. The proven all-climate performance of Jotachar JF750 XT means owners, engineers and fabricators can be confident that assets are protected at any stage of their project, even during exposure to some of the most extreme conditions on the planet,” has stated Andy Czainski, the global manager of the Hydrocarbon Fire division at Jotun Performance Coatings.
The new highly flexible intumescent coating is certified according to the latest NORSOK M501 (2022), UL2431 and UL1709 test regimes (without the need for additional topcoat) and Lloyds Register as well as DNV Type Approvals for durability, pool fire, jet fire and cryogenic spill protection.
