Two Part Vinyl Epoxy Tie Coat for Antifouling and Coating System Compatibility

Jotun Safeguard Universal ES is a two-component polyamide cured vinyl epoxy coating designed as a tie coat between epoxy primers and antifouling systems. Supplied as a 4.8L kit in plum colour, it plays a critical role in ensuring adhesion between coating layers in marine and industrial environments.

This product is specifically formulated to act as an intermediary layer, allowing compatibility between different coating technologies. It is commonly used between epoxy systems and antifouling coatings to ensure proper bonding and long term system performance.

Safeguard Universal ES can be used in both atmospheric and immersed environments and is suitable for application on a range of substrates including aluminium, carbon steel, galvanised and stainless steel when applied over approved primers.

Designed for professional use, it delivers reliable adhesion and system integrity in demanding marine and offshore applications.

Recommended Thinner

Jotun Safeguard Universal ES requires Jotun Thinner No.17 when thinning is necessary for application.

  • Formulated for epoxy and vinyl epoxy coating systems
  • Ensures correct viscosity for spray, brush and roller application
  • Maintains coating performance and adhesion properties
