Jotachar’s mesh free solution provides significant benefits for owners, fabricators and applicators compared to systems that require mesh reinforcement:

• Increased productivity
• Installation time reduced with up to 50%
• Maintenance cost reduced
• Saves material costs with up to 50%
• Less risk
• Potential one-coat system for 30 or 60 minute jet fire scenarios

With Jotachar’s continuous application process, projects are completed more rapidly with significant savings in man hours and costs. Maintenance and repair are also much simpler and require significantly less time and cost.

Jotachar JF750 is the only mesh free epoxy intumescent coating solution available to safeguard critical steel structures, divisions and vessels in a jet fire.

Mesh containing systems require a larger installation crew to complete the project, and more frequent inspections to ensure the complex mesh overlap and depth rules are in compliance with product- and project certification rules. These factors will add time and cost to any project.

Until the introduction of Jotachar JF750, the industry was dependent on epoxy PFP systems that require additional mesh reinforcement to protect assets that may potentially be exposed to explosions, jet fires or hydrocarbon fires.

To avoid any risk of failure when exposed to fire, mesh reinforcement must be correctly installed according to the product’s certification. The consequences of incorrectly installed mesh could be devastating, leading to loss of life, loss of asset, environmental catastrophe and huge financial impact on the asset owner.

Mesh free Jotachar JF750 not only avoids these risks but brings the added benefits of lower life cycle cost, lower maintenance cost and faster project completion.

Jotachar JF750 is pre-qualified to NORSOK M-501 Edition 6, considered to be the industry’s most rigorous test standard to ensure corrosion resistance, material durability and mechanical performance.

Importantly, NORSOK M-501’s post weathering fire testing demonstrates that Jotachar JF750 has no reduction in fire performance after the rigorous ISO 20340 cyclic durability test. These standards provide operators with confidence that fire performance and excellent corrosion protection are assured, even after many years of exposure in severe offshore environments.

As a result, Jotachar JF750 shows a significant reduction in overall life cycle cost.
