Jotun Pilot QD Primer

Jotun Pilot QD Primer is a one-component, oxidatively drying alkyd coating engineered for fast application and rapid curing. This fast-drying, high-build, zinc phosphate pigmented primer reduces project timescales and application costs whilst delivering robust corrosion protection. Use as a primer or mid coat on properly prepared carbon steel, aluminium, and wooden substrates in atmospheric environments. Ideal for marine engine rooms, topsides, decks, superstructures, and industrial structures across mild to medium corrosivity classes (ISO 12944 C2). Key Benefits Reduces application cost: Requires no mixing and has no potlife restrictions, eliminating waste, spills, and leftover material. Fast drying and high build properties can save one coat versus conventional alkyd and acrylic primers. Improves productivity: Hard, dry film forms in just 1.5 hours, enabling rapid handling, stacking, shipping, and immediate restart of subsequent painting processes. Increases time to first maintenance: Extended protection intervals when applied as primer coat in mild to medium corrosive environments. Direct-to-metal capability in C2 atmospheric corrosivity. Compatible with topcoats including Pilot II to form comprehensive corrosion protection systems per ISO 12944. Approved for use under Steelmaster Intumescent coatings. Certifications: Low flame spread per IMO FTPC Part 5 (IMO Res. A.653(16)); FDA compliant for food contact dry solids (USA Title 21, Part 175.300); Grain and Newcastle Occupational Health approvals.
