Throughout its 100 years of existence, Jotun has proven that its commitment to durability and innovation in industrial coatings is one of the keys to its global success. From its solutions for the marine industry in the North Sea to its new digital technologies for preventative maintenance, the Norwegian company has established itself as a leader in asset protection in extreme environments.
Baltaflake: The coating that withstands the most demanding conditions
One of the most impressive examples of Jotun’s product durability is its Baltaflake coating, a solution that, after 50 years of exposure to the harsh conditions of the North Sea, remains as efficient as the first day. Adam Stuchlik, Sales Director, High Performance Coatings, highlighted that this coating technology, used on the Equifax platform in the North Sea, resisted corrosion and wear in an exemplary manner, protecting the structures for more than half a century.
When recovering and analyzing a piece of Baltaflake-coated steel after dismantling, the Jotun team was surprised to find the material virtually intact. This demonstration of the coatings’ durability reflects the quality of the product and reinforces the company’s focus on providing long-term protection solutions that minimize the need for repairs and reduce operating costs.
Proactive digital solutions: Hull Skating and Asset Keeper
In addition to its focus on durability, Jotun has gone a step further by incorporating digital technologies for more efficient and proactive maintenance. Hull Skating is specifically designed for the maritime industry and helps prevent the buildup of marine debris, such as algae blooms and slime, before they become a bigger problem.
For the oil and gas sector, Jotun has launched Asset Keeper, a digital solution that enables regular inspections and detects issues before they become health and safety risks. This proactive technology not only improves safety but also extends the lifespan of infrastructure, allowing companies to operate more efficiently and with less disruption.
The importance of long-lasting coating
In a world increasingly focused on sustainability, Jotun has distinguished itself by offering long-lasting industrial coatings. By investing in coatings that protect for decades, the company helps industries reduce waste and emissions generated by frequent repackaging and repainting. All of this is proof of how a well-designed product can make a significant difference in terms of cost savings and long-term sustainability.
