By delivering increased application efficiency, lasting aesthetics and enhanced steel protection, Hardtop XP II provides a solution for countless scenarios where durability and performance are key priorities.
Hardtop XP II is an exceptionally versatile and efficient topcoat that provides a solution for countless scenarios, where application efficiency is a key priority.
The excellent ability of Hardtop XP II to accommodate fluctuating temperatures, ensures long-lasting steel protection in a wide range of application methods and temperatures during the application.
Hardtop XP II provides the combination of faster drying and improved initial hardness enabling more efficient production capabilities. Significantly faster drying of Hardtop XP II ensures higher production throughput for back-to-back applications, reducing downtime and enabling faster handling of coated structures. Doubled initial hardness of Hardtop XP II significantly enhances its resistance to scratches, dents, and surface damages from day one.
Hardtop XP II is designed to meet environmental and health regulations and is already optimized to encounter the upcoming requirements. Keeping the di-isocyanate content below 0.1% of Hardtop XP II eliminates the necessity for specialized training for safe isocyanate handling*. This streamlines the application process, eases regulatory compliance and improves worker safety. *applicable for EU-based customers.
Hardtop XP II can be easily applied using a wide range of application methods from airless spray to brush and roller, ensuring user-friendly and effortless application: - Low dry spray secures better aesthetics - Improved early water exposure stain resistance - Good opacity for bright colours - Handy mixing ratio
Hardtop XP II provides an essential and high-performing protective barrier against UV radiation, chemicals, water exposure and physical damage.
It ensures the primers and intumescent coats are protected against chalking, erosion, swelling, and in the worst cases dissolving, which can compromise structural safety over time.
Mechanical protection is essential for safeguarding surfaces against physical damage, such as abrasion, wear and tear. The enhanced mechanical properties of Hardtop XP II contribute to the longevity of the coating system by mitigating surface damage from daily use, harsh environments and tough conditions.
Chemical resistance is crucial for protecting surfaces from degradation caused by exposure to chemicals, solvents, and environmental contaminants. Enhanced chemical resistance of Hardtop XP II prolongs the lifespan of the coating system, reducing maintenance costs, preventing corrosion, and maintaining the structural integrity and appearance of the assets.
Hardtop XP II has been tested, documented and approved to the industry's top standards, contributing to effective systems for high-quality anti-corrosion and fire protection, low flame spread certification and many others.
Hardtop XP II is the ultimate choice to withstand the harshest weather conditions on earth, providing lasting colour and gloss. The superior balance of colour accuracy, gloss, flow and application robustness ensures a beautiful finish every time.
A lasting appearance of Hardtop XP II is not only aesthetically pleasing but also signals the integrity and safety of an asset.
The lasting colour and gloss of Hardtop XP II prevent fading and discoloration of the finish and degradation of coating systems, ensuring the finish retains its appearance and aesthetic integrity over time. Providing high UV resistance, Hardtop XP II boosts durability, minimizes aesthetic maintenance needs and prolongs the lifespan of assets exposed to sunlight.
Hardtop XP II provides enhanced dirt pick-up resistance against dust, sand, coal, algae, fungi and soil: - Maintain expected colour and gloss longer in polluted environments - Better heat reflectance in light colours due to less contamination adsorbed on the surface - Ensure the finish is easy to clean with the possibility of washing the asset, instead of repainting
The smooth and glossy finish of Hardtop XP II enhances the appearance by reflecting light evenly, resulting in a sleek and polished look. Additionally, it helps to make the surface easier to clean and maintain. In addition, early water exposure stain resistance of Hardtop XP II prevents water stains and streaks during the initial stages, which ensures a flawless finish and minimizes the need for touch-ups.
In a constant battle against various elements, a topcoat's ability to maintain colour and gloss is vital. To guarantee the performance of Hardtop XP II, these properties have been meticulously tested in Jotun R&D facilities around the world. In addition, extensive field trial applications in various climatic conditions ensure that Hardtop XP II will provide high UV resistance.
Hardtop XP II is backed by a wide range of documentation, test reports and certifications needed for your project, such as IMO FTP, NORSOK M-501:2022, ISO 12944, EPDs etc.
Since 1978 Hardtop has delivered outstanding performance for all types of steel structures, beautifying and protecting millions of square meters globally. With exceptional colour and gloss retention, excellent application properties and prolonged durability, Hardtop ensures a finish that exceeds expectations, securing resilience and reliability, withstanding even the harshest conditions for years to come.
