TECHNICAL SPECIALIST

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Long before a single litre of paint is applied, technical specification, guarantees and certificates must be made available for discussion and agreement with customer.
Jotun has experienced Technical Support managers to ensure a suitable paint specification for the specific customer needs is created and suitable training to application teams are performed to assure correct application work on site later on.

TECHNICAL SERVICE

Statistics show that as much 95% of all coating failures are a result of poor surface preparation, environmental conditions or application. Best practise routines and correct application are essential to achieve long-term performance.
