Jotun Paints are showcasing their innovative range of high performance coating technologies for offshore and onshore industries at the Gulf Industry Fair (GIF) 2017.
The Norwegian coating brand offers a wide repertoire of products that incorporate the latest technological developments to “decorate and protect” when applied to industrial substrates. 
Venkat Krishnan, MEIA regional marketing support manager, said: “We are delighted to unveil our new range of specialized coating products that will be showcased at Gulf Industry Fair 2017. The show offers a unique experience and opportunity to network and sell across the Middle East’s industrial sectors. Bahrain’s strategic location in the Gulf allows members of GIF to market to key targets in the MENA region.” 
“We will be showcasing our four main coating products, Tankguard, SeaQuantum, Steelmaster and Jotachar, all of which have been developed and tested to protect industrial, marine, deep sea, offshore and onshore vessels, refineries and chemical plants,” added Krishnan.
Tankguard is specifically designed to protect the internal lining of offshore & onshore tanks and pipes, and is resistant to crude oil temperatures up to 160°C. 
Jotachar PFP is the industry’s first “Mesh Free” solution for hydrocarbon and jet fires, currently used in onshore drilling, power plants and oil and gas installations. 
Steelmaster 1200 WF is a water-borne intumescent coating which provides structural steel with 180 minutes of fire protection against cellulosic fire scenarios.
“Jotun Paints is the world’s leading coating brand for industrial protection. Their debut at Gulf Industry Fair is eagerly anticipated by GCC businesses looking to take advantage of the cost-effective use of coatings for their companies,” said Jubran Abdulrahman, managing director of HCE. 
Gulf Industry Fair, the Northern Gulf’s leading annual industrial expo, takes place from Feb 7-9 at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Center, under the patronage of Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al-Khalifa, prime minister of Bahrain.
