Description

Fast-curing epoxy primer for new construction and maintenance

Did you know

Jotun's Penguard series has been a cornerstone in land-based new construction since the early 1980s, with over 650 million liters sold globally. Penguard Express continues this legacy, designed for dependable protection in atmospheric conditions.
Penguard Express is a fast-curing, high-build epoxy primer within the broader Penguard range, which also includes variants like Penguard Express CF for color flexibility, Penguard Express ZP with zinc phosphate, and Penguard Express WF as a waterborne option.
Penguard Express is chosen for its rapid drying and curing times, allowing for quick recoating and handling, which optimizes new construction processes and enables application even at low temperatures.
