Mesh free epoxy passive fire protection

for the hydrocarbon processing industry

 Assets and personnel in the
hydrocarbon processing industry
are at significant risk from
explosion and hydrocarbon fires.
Without passive fire protection
(PFP) measures, these incidents can
escalate rapidly, leading to:
✗✗ Loss of life or serious injury
✗✗ Catastrophic damage to assets
✗✗ Plant shutdown
✗✗ Interruption to production

Jotachar is the only mesh free

epoxy solution for all fire scenarios
Fastest installation, the ultimate time saving solution
✓✓ Lightweight solution, reducing engineering impact in weight
sensitive areas
✓✓ Greater corrosion protection ensuring long term performance
✓✓ Low life cycle cost
✓✓ Low maintenance cost
✓✓ Easiest installation for any maintenance requirement
✓✓ Low water absorption = high durability
✓✓ Highly abrasion resistant to withstand damage during transport
and erection

 The industry’s challenge has been to design an epoxy PFP with low installed
weight whilst removing the requirement for additional mesh reinforcement
combined with the fastest possible installation.
Low-cost solutions such as concrete and lightweight cementitious materials are often
unable to meet client requirements for long term corrosion protection, durability and low
life cycle cost.
Early deterioration of low cost systems can lead to reduced fire protection, compromising
the safety of personnel and the protection of assets and inventory.
Traditional epoxy PFP materials often need additional mesh reinforcement to guarantee
certified performance. Any requirement to install mesh introduces risks associated with
omission or incorrect installation.

Jotun has introduced Jotachar 1709 mesh free, a next generation

epoxy passive fire protection material, designed to protect
against hydrocarbon fire scenarios for up to 4 hours as defined
in the ANSI/UL1709 Standard.

cementitious disadvantages advantages
Concrete & cementitious-based PFP materials have been ✓✓ Easier to install, no pins, no metal
widely used in the hydrocarbon process and related or fabric mesh
industries.
✓✓ Continuous application process
Whilst they are considered low cost options, deterioration due to
✓✓ Reduces project completion time
weathering, industrial environments and lack of maintenance can
lead to extensive substrate corrosion and compromised safety. ✓✓ Apply at site or off-site with lower
transport costs
Dense concrete has a high installed weight, requiring additional
engineering considerations when specifying. ✓✓ Significantly reduces asset down
time when used for on-site repair
✗✗ Requires steel reinforcement ✗✗ Frequent and detailed
or maintenance
such as welded mesh or inspection and maintenance
