The largest impact to VOC reduction in shipbuilding. Worldwide. Approximately 60 – 70% of paints supplied in shipbuilding aremade up of Epoxy Universal Primers. As a solvent-free epoxyuniversal primer, Jotacote Universal S120 creates the largest impactto VOC reduction in shipbuilding.
Through 16 years of development, Jotacote Universal S120 dramatically improves performance and commercial benefits to key customers around the world.
Reduce VOC emissionsby up to 98%.With extensive research and development, Jotun’s patent pending solvent-free technology reduces VOC by up to 98%. Jotacote Universal S120 follows the definition of solvent-free as stipulated by The European Council of the Paint, Printing Ink and Artists‘ Colours Industry (CEPE). It also goes beyond that definition by using materials with boilingpoint above 250°C which follows EU VOC Solvents Directive (1999/13)making this product truly solvent-free.
The solvent-free nature of Jotacote Universal S120 not only reduces VOC emissions, it also reduces the need for VOC abatement systems that converts VOC to CO2, hence reducing all round emissions.
Case Example: Jotacote Universal S120 reduces VOC emissions by approximately 64,000 Kg for the same newbuilding project

Benefits of Covallox Technology
• Lasting the lifetime of a vessel• Reducing lifetime maintenance costs• Reducing downtime needed for repairs• Reducing expensive steel replacement costs
CovaloxTM Technology. Maximum security against corrosion. In typical epoxy coatings, electromagnetic hydrogen bonds provide therequired adhesion between epoxy coatings and steel plates. JotunCovallox™ Technology goes far beyond hydrogen bonds. Covallox™ Technology strengthens the adhesion further with chemicallyfused covalent bonds that are 10 times stronger. Over time, water,which forms hydrogen bonds, will displace typical epoxy coatings and steel plates by replacing the hydrogen bonds between them. This would result in corrosion spreading underneath the coating. Water cannot displace the chemically fused covalent bonds from Jotun’s Covallox™ Technology, significantly reducing any risk of corrosion.
The world’s best adhesion - for long-term performance. In a salt spray test, the unrivalled adhesion of Jotacote Universal S120significantly minimises disbondment in coating. Adhesion is high bothbefore and after the test. In the event of a damage or a defect in thecoating, the corrosion growth is stopped, while in typical epoxy primers,the significant disbondment will result in corrosion spread.
