Muki Z 2001
Product description
Muki Z 2001 is a two-pack, modified low zinc ethyl silicate shopprimer. Designed to utilize optimum productivity in
connection with advanced welding technology (MIG/ MAG/G-FCAW) giving reduced weld defects/backburning. Muki Z
2001 is good in corrosion protection of steel during normal storage and fabrication, and reduces exposure to fumes
during welding and cutting compared with medium to high zinc shopprimers.
Recommended use
To be used as a preconstruction primer on blast-cleaned steel surfaces in automatic shop-priming plants to protect steel
during transport, storage and production.
For application on steel for water ballast tanks in accordance with PSPC (IMO Res. MSC 82/W), cleanliness must be:
Dust - Min. rating 1, sizes 3,4,5 (ISO 8502-3:1993) and soluble salt - Maximum 50 mg/m² (ISO 8502-6 and- 9:1998).

*Measured according to ISO 3233:1998 (E)
Surface preparation
All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from contamination. The surface should be assessed and treated in
accordance with ISO 8504.
Other surfaces
The coating may be used on other substrates. Please contact your local Jotun office for more information.
Application methods
Spray Use airless spray or conventional spray
Brush Recommended for touch-up purposes.
Application data
Mixing ratio (volume) 10:6,75
Mixing 10 parts by volume Comp. A (Silicate solution) to be thoroughly mixed with 6,75
parts by volume Muki Z 2001, Comp. B (Zinc paste).
Pot life (23°C) 24 hours. (Reduced at higher temperatures).
Note * Proper routines for cleaning and maintenance of the priming unit are
necessary to achieve high productivity and uniform quality. Before start of work
and after finishing with Muki Z 2001 it is recommended to circulate Jotun Thinner
No. 4 or No. 25 through the entire spraying equipment for some minutes. During
application it is necessary to use a mechanical stirrer.
* The Comp. B (Zinc paste) must be stirred continuously while the Comp.
A (Silicate solution) is added.
Drying time
Drying times are generally related to air circulation, temperature, film thickness and number of coats, and will be
affected correspondingly. The figures given in the table are typical with:
* Good ventilation (Outdoor exposure or free circulation of air)
* Typical film thickness
* One coat on top of inert substrate
* Relative humidity at 80 %
The given data must be considered as guidelines only. The actual drying time/times before recoating may be shorter or
longer, depending on film thickness, ventilation, humidity, underlying paint system, requirement for early handling and
mechanical strength etc. A complete system can be described on a system sheet, where all parameters and special
conditions could be included.
Undamaged shopprimer can be overcoated with a choice of systems based on epoxy, vinyl or chlorinated rubber
resins.
Storage
The product must be stored below 25°C and in accordance with national regulations. Storage conditions are to keep
the containers in a dry, cool, well ventilated space and away from source of heat and ignition. Containers must be kept
tightly closed.
Handling
SHELF LIFE: 6 months at room temperature for Comp. A. Handle with care. Stir well before Use. Continuous stirring
during application will prevent the heavy zinc pigment from settling.
Packing size
20 litre unit: 10 litres Comp. A (silicate solution) in a 10 litre container and 6.75 litres Muki Z 2001, Comp. B (Zinc paste)
in a 20 litre container.
