Did you know

The Penguard series has been a part of Jotun's offerings for approximately 50 years, with over 650 million liters sold globally since the early 1980s.
Penguard HB is a versatile, high-build, two-component epoxy coating within Jotun's Penguard range, designed as an all-purpose coating for new construction. It can function as a primer, mid-coat, finish coat, or a single-coat system.
Penguard HB is chosen for its excellent corrosion protection, high build properties, and versatility across various substrates and environments, including atmospheric and immersed conditions. It also offers very good water, abrasion, solvent, and chemical resistance.
