The Application Guide offers product details and recommended practices for the use of the product.
The data and information provided are not definite requirements. They are guidelines to assist with efficient and safe use, and optimum service of the product. Adherence to the guidelines does not relieve the applicator of responsibility for ensuring that the work meets specification requirements. Jotuns liability is in accordance with general product liability rules.
The Application Guide (AG) must be read in conjunction with the relevant specification, Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for all the products used as part of the coating system.
Reference is generally made to ISO Standards. When using standards from other regions it is recommended to reference only one corresponding standard for the substrate being treated.
The required quality of surface preparation can vary depending on the area of use, expected durability and if applicable, project specification.
Metal surface preparation refers to requirements for preparation prior to application of approved primers. All steel must be physically clean, dry and free from mud, concrete slurry, grease, zinc salts and other forms of contamination. Complete washing down of steelwork may be necessary. Oil & grease should be removed in accordance with SSPSC SP1 solvent cleaning.
Paint solvents (thinners) shall not be used for general degreasing or preparation of the surface for painting due to the risk of spreading dissolved hydrocarbon contamination. Paint thinners can be used to treat small localised areas of contamination such as dye penetration inks and marker pens. Use clean, white cotton cloths that are turned and replaced often. Do not bundle used solvent saturated cloths. Place used cloths into water.
Surface preparation and coating should normally be commenced only after all welding, degreasing, removal of sharp edges, weld spatter and treatment of welds is complete. It is important that all hot work is completed before coating commences.
Surface laminations and sharp edges should be removed, sharp edges must be rounded off smooth prior to priming. Weld spatter, or flux, dust and spent abrasive and all contamination must also be removed before primer application. Ensure substrate is clean and dry before painting.
Abrasive blasting should not take place under adverse ambient conditions, when relative humidity exceeds 85 % or when the steel temperature is less than 3°C (37°F) above ambient dew point.
Apply the approved primer before degradation of the surface occurs.
After pre-treatment is complete, the surface shall be dry abrasive blast cleaned to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1) using abrasive media suitable to achieve a sharp and angular surface profile.
Measure the achieved profile with surface replication tape (Testex) to ISO 8503-5 or by surface roughness stylus instrument to ISO 8503-4.
Achieved surface roughness should be as required by specified primer. The recommended surface profile is 50-75 μm, grade Fine to Medium G; Ry 5 (ISO 8503-1). However, this profile should not be less than figures stated below for carbon steel and alloys. Finished surfaces shall be dull, profiled and show no areas of shiny metal. Do not handle the prepared surface with bare hands.
To avoid contaminating the substrate, the dryness and cleanliness of the compressed air supply used for blast cleaning should be verified by testing the air on a white blotter as per ASTM D4285.
At the completion of abrasive blasting remove residues of abrasive media and inspect for surface particulate contamination. Maximum contamination level is rating 1 (ISO 8502-3) as per Figure 1 of the standard for dust size no greater than class 2.
Power tool cleaning is only recommended for small areas of repair, typically less than 1 m² in size where abrasive blasting is expected to create more damage to the coating system than actual benefit to the performance of the coating system.
Power tool cleaning to St 3 (ISO 8501-1). Removal of all loose mill scale, loose rust, loose paint and other loose detrimental foreign matter to a bare metal finish with a surface profile.
General guidance notes from ASFP recommends that bolt heads should have the same resistance to fire exposure as the steel section. Refer to TSS-TI-099 SteelMaster Protection of Bolt Heads.
Continuous linear fixtures (brackets and angles) should be considered as part of the main beam and duly protected from fire. Refer to TSS-TI-098 Over-cladding and Fixings to Intumescent Protected Steelwork.
This product must always be applied over a primer approved by Jotun. When the surface is an existing coating, verify with technical data sheet and application guide of the involved products, both overcoatability and the given maximum overcoating interval. Only approved and qualified primers can be used in conjunction with this product. It is the application contractor’s responsibility to ensure that only approved primers are used. For the current list of approved primers please contact your local Jotun office.
The applied primer should be:
TDS
Should the primer’s suitability for overcoating be in doubt in any way, for example, primer type unknown, primer not approved, excessive dry film thickness, surface contamination, surface glossiness etc, Jotun must be consulted prior to the application of this product.
A primer without a matt finish may require sanding to improve hold up for the first coat of intumescent.
Contamination on primer may lead to slipping of intumescent during first coat application. It is the responsibility of the applicator to assess the condition of the primer coating before intumescent is applied. An on-site evaluation patch must be made to confirm surface preparation and adhesion before main application work commences.
The typical primer thickness is 75 μm. Primer DFT may vary in relation to the corrosive category and recommended total DFT required for corrosion protection with topcoat in consideration of ISO 12944-2/5.
The maximum recommended dry film thickness of the primer system is 150 μm depending on the type of product used. If the maximum primer thickness exceeds the recommended DFT, consult with Jotun technical department.
Areas of high primer thickness should be reduced to the recommended thickness as per the above guideline using medium grade sandpaper, grinding or other suitable methods followed by fresh water washing to remove dust/contaminants. Frequent changes of abrasive paper to be made to avoid polishing the surface. Abrasive sweep blasting followed by thorough cleaning/vacuuming can also be used.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application of this product.
Maximum overcoating interval of a SteelMaster compatible primer with a matt finish may be extended up to 6 months. The primer system must be clean, dry and free from all forms of contamination and chalking prior to the application of SteelMaster. An on-site evaluation patch must be made to confirm surface preparation and adhesion before main application work commences. Refer to TSS-TI-126 SteelMaster On-site Adhesion Requirements.
When SteelMaster is to be applied on a compatible primer that has exceeded maximum overcoating interval or if the patch test showed unsuitable adhesion, light abrading may be required to achieve proper intercoat adhesion.
Clean, dry and undamaged compatible coating (ISO 12944-4 6.1.4)
Areas with breakdown, damage, etc. must be prepared to the specified standard of blast cleaning to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1) or power tool cleaning to minimum St 3 (for small areas) and a coat of primer touched up before the product is applied.
The product must not be applied directly over zinc primers. An epoxy tie coat must be applied prior to the application of the SteelMaster system. The recommended Jotun approved tie coat is Penguard Primer or Penguard Tiecoat 100 applied at a DFT of 25-40 μm.
Zinc rich primers, usually based on epoxy resin or silicate binders, are often used as corrosion protection coatings on structural steelwork. Weathering or prolonged exposure of the zinc primer will lead to the formation of zinc salts (white rust) on the surface of the coating which is detrimental to adhesion. Zinc salts must be removed prior to application of the epoxy tie coat. Hard bristle brushes, careful sanding and/or high pressure water-washing at a minimum of 170 bar (2500 psi) to remove zinc salts. An epoxy tie coat may be applied over the epoxy zinc primer to prevent salts forming.
In all cases, the intumescent coating manufacturer must be consulted to confirm the compatibility of the primer system with the intumescent system and, where applicable, the tie coat.
Intumescent coatings require a greater degree of environmental monitoring than conventional coatings. Intumescent coatings are moisture sensitive and must be protected against high humidity, rain and consequent water ponding both during application, transportation or during storage prior to being erected at site. Otherwise blistering/delamination will occur.
During transportation or construction, exposed SteelMaster must be protected from weather with a topcoat.
Where a topcoat is specified, application must occur as soon as the final coat of this product is fully through dry.
Before application, test the atmospheric conditions in the vicinity of the substrate for the dew formation according to ISO 8502-4.

The following restrictions must be observed:
It is advisable to apply the product to the steelwork when the building has been made water tight and dry. Where a topcoat is specified, application must take place in accordance with the recommended overcoating interval.
Application below 5°C (41°F) and at higher relative humidity will retard drying and could compromise ultimate coating performance. Engineering controls such as electric powered heaters or dehumidifiers to maintain environmental conditions within the acceptable parameters are recommended. Fuel fired heaters can create moisture and will be detrimental to the drying.
It is recommended that the ambient conditions are monitored every 4 hours. Where conditions vary it will be necessary to monitor at least every one or two hours. It is the applicator’s responsibility to monitor these conditions in accordance with the specification and to maintain auditable records to demonstrate compliance.
Single pack
This product is a high viscosity product. It is possible that this may be affected when stored. It should be mixed with a powered mechanical paint mixer with a helical-ribbon impeller that is clean and fit for purpose.
Mechanically mix for about 1-2 minutes to ensure that the product is mixed to a uniform consistency and to fully incorporate all of the ingredients into a homogenous mixture. Care should be taken to ensure no aeration or air bubbles are formed during the mixing process, especially in warmer climates.
Manual mixing is not recommended.

Brush application
Brush application is only for small areas or repairs. Application rates will always be slow when compared to airless spray. Multi-coat application by brush to achieve high DFT is neither practical nor economical. Care should be taken to achieve a uniform DFT.
Cosmetic finish
The cosmetic finish will depend largely on the method of application. Generally airless spray application will give a superior finish. Before the start of any application, it is recommended that all interested parties agree on the required surface finish. The applicator should spray and finish a sample area acceptable to the client representative. This area should be used as a reference area for the project. The applied film should be closed and uniform in thickness, free from voids and sagging.
ASFP Technical Guidance Document 11 section 2.1.11 outlines three standards of finish:
More work will be required to achieve the higher standards. It may be necessary to abrade the intumescent surface to remove texture. It may also be necessary to apply intumescent in a series of thinner coats. Topcoats are relatively thin and will tend to highlight rather than hide surface defects. It is, therefore, important to ensure that the required finish has been archived prior to application of the topcoat.
Dry film thickness 200 – 720 μm
Wet film thickness 280 – 1000 μm
All steel sections must be coated with correct film thickness to achieve the required fire rating. Please refer to the current loading tables. For further advice please contact your local Jotun office.
Note: The film thickness is only achievable by airless spray application in one coat.
If measured mean thicknesses are in excess of these values, action needs to be taken to reduce the measured thickness to below the maximum allowable for the particular member shape and orientation.
I/H beams, 3 sided: 3762 µm
I/H beams, 4 sided: 3200 µm
I/H columns, 4 sided: 3200 µm CHS & RHS columns: 5600 µm
The recommended method of application is by heavy-duty airless spray equipment. A typical wet film thickness (WFT) of not more than 1000 μm per coat is highly recommended. If thicker coats are applied sagging may occur and will also affect the drying and handling time.
The most suitable method and technique will depend on a number of factors such as coating thickness required, configuration of the steelwork, access to the steelwork, programming of the project, presence of other trade activity on site, etc.
Where the specified dry film thickness (DFT) is greater than 700 µm, apply two or more coats to build up the total specified DFT. Keep the wft to a maximum of 700 µm per coat. Follow the recommended over coating intervals between coats as given in the product technical data sheet. Drying time and over coating intervals will depend on local environmental conditions.
Where the total dry film thickness specified is greater than 2000 µm, Jotun recommends minimum 24 hour over coating interval between each coat of SteelMaster at all temperatures.
Where temperature during application and drying is likely to exceed 40 ºC, it is recommended to apply thin coats at WFT 300-400 μm and to allow 3 hours drying before next coat of intumescent. Spray passes using mist coat or split wet-on-wet is recommended technique for each coat applied. This is achieved by spraying 2-3 passes on steel section from one end to the other and coming back 3-5 minutes after to apply additional passes to achieve WFT 300-400 mic. Apply further coats in the same sequence to build up the DFT to the specified thickness as per loading table/project specification. Wherever possible during application and drying, coated steel to be kept in dry, shaded areas to minimize surface drying defects. After topcoat is applied (especially dark shade topcoats) coated steel to be kept in dry, shaded areas to minimize system drying defects and softening in high temperatures.
The over coating time between each coat depends on the total DFT required to be built up as a system. The actual drying time can vary depending on environmental conditions such as air temperature, relative humidity, weather conditions, ventilation and also the number of coats, total dry film thickness applied, etc. Water ponding must be avoided. Early exposure of Steelmaster to moisture, rainwater, high humidity or condensation will cause defects such as blistering and/or delamination.
Where a decorative or bespoke finish is needed, further measures may be required to achieve the desired finish. These may include: application in shade, application at cooler times of the day and reduced WFT per coat. In these cases, light abrasion before top coating can also improve overall finish to the coating system.
To ensure correct film thickness, it is recommended to measure the wet film thickness continuously during application using a painter’s wet film comb (ISO 2808 Method 1A). The measurements should be done as soon as possible after application.
Fast drying paints may give incorrect (too low) readings resulting in excessive dry film thickness. For multi layer physically drying (resoluble) coating systems the wet film thickness comb may give too high readings resulting in too low dry film thickness of the intermediate and top coats.
Use a wet-to-dry film calculation table (available on the Jotun Web site) to calculate the required wet film thickness per coat.
The effectiveness of an intumescent coating is controlled by thickness applied to give the appropriate fire rating. It is essential to ensure that the correct thickness applicable to each section size is obtained according to the loading tables issued by Jotun. It is the responsibility of the applicator to ensure all coatings are applied in accordance with this working procedure and that the specified dry film thickness is achieved on each section.
The film thicknesses for Jotun’s intumescent coating are included in the Jotun loading tables (DFT). These thicknesses apply only to the intumescent coating and are not inclusive of any primer coat. Allowance will have to be made for the thickness of primer & topcoat (deduct) when measuring the overall system.
Primer thickness may be determined either after application in shop, or on site prior to commencement of application of the intumescent basecoat. It should be a requirement of the contract that steelwork delivered to site in primed condition should be accompanied by a documented record of primer thickness supplied by the fabricator. If this is not available, the site contractor must be required to conduct a primer thickness survey prior to commencement of intumescent application. Establishing the correct primer thickness is important. Measurement at this stage will more easily facilitate any subsequent corrections which may prove necessary. If the total intumescent dry film coating thickness, allowing for the underlying primer, is found to be within specified tolerances, application of the next coat (usually a decorative and/or protective coat) can proceed.
Indentation of the intumescent coating by the measuring instrument probe indicates insufficient hardness of the intumescent coating and measurements should be deferred. However, if programming requires coating to proceed urgently, by agreement with the specifier a shim of known thickness can be used to spread the load of the probe tip on the coated surface, allowing measurement to proceed before the coating has fully hardened. The dry film thickness of coating and shim together can then be measured and the shim value deducted to give the coating thickness.
If the total intumescent dry film coating thickness is found to be outside the specified tolerances, the procedure outlined below.
The recommended procedure for measuring dry film thickness and the acceptance criteria is based on Section 4.7 of ASFP Technical Guidance Document 11.
Sections must be measured in accordance with the following guidelines:
Webs: Two readings per metre length on each face of web
Flanges: Two readings per metre length on the outer face of each flange One reading per metre length on the inner face of each flange.
Eight readings per metre length evenly spread around the section
Where members are less than 2 m in length, three sets of readings shall be taken, one at each end and at the centre of the member. Each set shall comprise the number of readings on each face given by (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as appropriate.
When taking DFT readings, it is recommended that no readings are taken within 25 mm of the edge of an I section or within 25 mm of the join of flange to web of an I section.
The average dry film thickness (DFT) applied to each steel section shall be greater than or equal to the specified dry film thickness.
Where any single thickness reading is found to be less than 80 % of the specified DFT, a further three readings shall be taken within 200 to 300 mm around the area of the low reading. The initial reading may be considered isolated if all the additional readings are at least 80 % of the specified nominal value.
If one or more of the additional readings are less than 80 % of the specified nominal value, further readings shall be made to determine the extent of the area of under thickness. In such cases, low thickness areas identified must be brought up to the specified dry film thickness before proceeding to the next application stage.
Individual dry film thickness readings of less than 50 % of the specified DFT are not acceptable.
The maximum average measured dry film thickness of any face of any member should not exceed the absolute maximum certified thickness for the particular member shape and orientation. Consult with your Jotun representative.
Conformance to Dry Coating Thickness Requirements – Appendix 11 Method for Measuring the Thickness of Intumescent (Fireproofing) and Cryogenic Spill Protection Coatings Applied to Load-Bearing Structural Steel Members, Fire Divisions, Pipework, and Vessels/Tanks
The dry film thickness (DFT) acceptance criteria (min / average / max) should be defined within the chosen standard for the project and is agreed by all parties in advance of project start-up.
Example:
AMPP SSPC-PA2 (2022), Appendix 11, Table A11.1 whereby the specifier may select the fireproofing thickness restriction level for a given project. Level 3 is satisfactory by Jotun.
In all cases, the average dry film thickness (DFT) applied to each steel section shall be greater than or equal to the specified dry film thickness. If required, the maximum average measured dry film thickness should not exceed the absolute maximum certified thickness for the particular member shape and orientation. Consult with your Jotun representative.
The importance of dry film thickness checking is emphasized where inadequate thickness is identified prior to application of the topcoat.
In such situations it is a relatively simple exercise to define the extent of the deficient area(s) and to apply further coat(s) of intumescent product to bring the overall thickness up to acceptable standards.
If low thickness is not detected until after the topcoat has been applied the topcoat must be completely removed and apply further coat(s) of intumescent product to bring up to specification. Where the intumescent coating thickness exceeds the limits stated in the manufacturer’s recommendations, guidance must be obtained from the manufacturer.
Sufficient ventilation is very important to ensure proper drying/curing of the film.
Forced ventilation such as portable fans is permissible, however not in direct contact with the freshly applied product as it can lead to surface skinning, wrinkling of the coating or other related defects.
The consumption of paint should be controlled carefully, with thorough planning and a practical approach to reducing loss. Application of liquid coatings will result in some material loss. Understanding the ways that coating can be lost during the application process, and making appropriate changes, can help reducing material loss.
Some of the factors that can influence the loss of coating material are:
During the following given operations, damage to the coating system can occur particularly between in-shop applications through to final erection on site. For transportation of the applied sections from the fabrication yard to the erection site, the complete system with approved topcoat must be applied. Systems must be allowed to hard dry and approved before movement to site.

All drying times have been measured at a wet film thickness of 1000 μm under controlled temperature and relative humidity below 85 %.
Drying times can vary depending on environmental conditions such as air temperature, relative humidity, weather conditions, ventilation and also the number of coats, total dry film thickness applied, etc. Refer to AG for multi-coat application method.
The recommended minimum overcoating interval of this product with approved acrylic topcoats is 24 hours and for other approved topcoats is 48 hours. The system should be dry to handle and coating thickness gauge should not to leave an indentation on the coating. Drying time/overcoating interval may be extended if there is a drop in temperature or if multi-coat system is applied. Prior to application of topcoat, the applicator must ensure that the specified dry film thickness has been achieved.
Surface (touch) dry: The state of drying when slight pressure with a finger does not leave an imprint or reveal tackiness.
Dried to handle: Minimum time before the coated objects can be handled without physical damage.
Dry to over coat, minimum: The recommended shortest time before the next coat can be applied.
Maximum time before thorough surface preparation is required. The surface must be clean, dry and suitable for over coating. Inspect the surface for chalking and other contamination. Dust to be blown off with clean compressed air or use a damp cloth with fresh water to wipe clean SteelMaster surface, making sure not to saturate/soak the surface. Use alkaline detergent on localized spots of oil/grease contamination. Allow to dry before overcoating. If heavy contamination (not oil/grease), lightly abrade with fine grade sandpaper and remove dust.
If maximum over coating interval is exceeded the surface should also be carefully roughened to ensure good inter coat adhesion.

Refer to your Jotun representative for a detailed fire protection specification including approved primer and topcoat systems.
Where a topcoat is specified, application must occur as soon as the final coat of this product is fully through dry. During transportation or construction, exposed SteelMaster must be protected from weather with a topcoat.
Extended – Where an extended overcoating time is stated, the product can be overcoated after an indefinite time period, however the anticipated level of intercoat adhesion can only be achieved through good painting practices. The overcoating time depends on environmental exposure conditions, type of topcoat, and other factors. If the surface has signs of chalking or contamination, surface treatment, such as methodical abrading followed by freshwater washing should be employed. Alkaline detergent should be used to remove heavy contamination.
Only topcoats approved by Jotun can be applied over this product. Contact Jotun’s technical department for the approved topcoats. Prior to application of the topcoat ensure that the product has been applied to the specified DFT. The surface must be clean, dry and free of contamination before applying the topcoat.
Topcoat will normally be applied as per specification.
Apply using an airless spray machine and follow the instructions contained on the technical data sheets. Topcoat can be applied on site by brush/roller, where there is no access or limited access and shall be recorded in the reports.
It is important that the topcoat is applied at the specified DFT film thickness. To achieve a uniform finish on an uneven surface is difficult and may require additional coats. As a guide the wet film thickness of the topcoat should be measured at regular intervals to ensure the specified dry film thickness is obtained.
Top coated steelwork should not be exposed to direct sunlight and/or elevated temperatures immediately after application of the topcoat as this may cause blistering due to entrapped solvents within the SteelMaster.
Solvent borne acrylic products are thermoplastic products, which means the product can become soft at temperatures above 30°C. Areas with a dark shaded topcoat have the tendency to heat up quickly when exposed to direct sunlight as energy is absorbed.
Thermoplasticity in solvent borne acrylic coatings, whether it is paint or intumescent products, does not disappear. When the coating has cooled down, hardness recovers, provided the coating is sufficiently dry. This does not affect the fire performance properties of the product.
It is sometimes difficult to distinguish softness caused by solvent being present in the coating and softness caused by thermoplasticity. Softness by solvent presence means that the product has not sufficiently dried. Providing more drying time will enabling solvent evaporation and improve hardness/reduce softness of the coating. Softness by thermoplasticity can be limited by measures such as protective shade.
The softening characteristic of thermoplastic coatings is more common in warmer climates; therefore, it is best to evaluate the drying condition of such coatings during the coolest time of day and in areas not exposed to direct sunlight.
In areas such as corners and internal angles of open sections, it is possible that hairline cracks could occur. Excessive film thickness will lead to extended drying and may lead to surface drying defects. Applied film thickness and drying conditions will affect the rate at which these may develop.
To prevent these effects, it will be necessary to control the film thickness in these areas and the applied wet film thickness per coat should be reduced from the recommended maximum. Particular caution should be exercised when coating narrow-webbed sections.
This cracking is not detrimental to the fire performance of SteelMaster and are easily repaired for aesthetics. Lightly abrade the area and apply intumescent by brush and/or putty knife to fill in the gap. Where a topcoat is specified, stripe coat of topcoat followed by full coat of topcoat.
It is always recommended that all types of damages are repaired at the earliest opportunity to avoid any moisture ingress that can lead to degradation of the intumescent coating. The repair method will depend on the extent of damage.
This repair procedure applies to these types of example scenarios: a) Areas of mechanical damages due to site works
Depending on the extent of damage, lightly abrade the surface or “cut out’’ as described below.
Repair Primer:
Approved primer to patch prime exposed steel applied at a typical DFT of 75-100 µm or as per original specified DFT. Care should be taken to avoid overlap of primer onto the adjacent SteelMaster.
