Description
Alkyd topcoat with glossy finish — economical maintenance for deck equipment
Did you know
- The Jotun Pilot II is an alkyd-based coating, a technology that has been a staple in marine and industrial paints for a considerable time. While a specific launch year for the "Pilot II" designation isn't readily available, alkyd coatings have a long heritage in the industry.
- The Pilot II is positioned as a one-component, oxidatively drying alkyd topcoat within Jotun's range, offering a glossy finish. It is often compared to other single-component topcoats like Jotun Pioner (an acrylic-based option) and can be used in conjunction with primers such as Jotun Alkydprimer or Pilot QD Primer for a complete corrosion protection system.
- The Pilot II is chosen for its ease of application, requiring no mixing and having no pot life restrictions, which helps reduce preparation time, waste, and overall application costs. It provides a high-gloss, aesthetically pleasing finish with good gloss retention, and is surface tolerant, making it suitable for both new and aged coatings.
