🎨 About Jotun: A Norwegian Legacy of Excellence

Founded in 1926 in Sandefjord, Norway, Jotun has grown into one of the world’s leading paint and coating manufacturers. With a presence in over 100 countries and 40+ production facilities worldwide, Jotun brings nearly a century of expertise to the UAE market.

Jotun’s Presence in the UAE

Jotun has been a trusted name in the UAE construction industry for decades, with:

• Local Manufacturing: Jotun operates production facilities in the region, ensuring products are specifically formulated for Gulf climate conditions
• Technical Support: Dedicated teams provide on-site consultation and application guidance
• Iconic Projects: Jotun paints protect landmarks like Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and countless residential and commercial properties
• Sustainability Focus: Committed to environmentally friendly, low-VOC formulations
• Innovation Leader: Continuously developing solutions for extreme climate challenges

What Makes Jotun Stand Out?

• Norwegian Quality Standards: Rigorous testing and quality control
• Gulf-Specific Formulations: Engineered specifically for extreme heat, humidity, and UV exposure
• Long-Term Performance: Superior durability that justifies premium pricing
• Wide Color Range: Over 5,000 colors through the Jotun Color Collection
• Professional-Grade Products: Trusted by contractors and painters across the UAE

☀️ Why Jotun Paints Are Perfect for UAE Climate

The UAE’s extreme climate demands more than ordinary paint. Here’s why Jotun consistently outperforms in these challenging conditions:

Engineered for Extreme Heat

UAE summers regularly exceed 45°C, causing:

• Paint film expansion and contraction
• Accelerated color fading
• Surface cracking and peeling
• Blistering on improperly prepared surfaces

Jotun’s Solution: Advanced elastomeric technology allows paint films to expand and contract without cracking, while heat-reflective pigments reduce surface temperature by up to 15°C.

UV Resistance That Lasts

The UAE experiences some of the world’s highest UV radiation levels. Standard paints fade within 1-2 years, but Jotun paints feature:

• UV-stable pigments: Maintain color integrity for 7-10+ years
• Advanced resin technology: Prevents chalking and degradation
• Color retention guarantee: Backed by extensive weathering tests

Humidity and Salt Protection

Coastal areas like Dubai, Sharjah, and Ajman face 60-90% humidity plus salt-laden air. Jotun paints provide:

• Anti-fungal properties: Prevents mold and mildew growth
• Salt resistance: Special formulations for coastal properties
• Moisture barrier: Prevents water penetration and blistering
• Breathable finishes: Allow moisture to escape without trapping it

Dust and Sand Resistance

Desert conditions mean constant dust exposure. Jotun’s advanced formulations feature:

• Dirt-resistant surfaces: Easier cleaning and maintenance
• Smooth finishes: Reduce dust accumulation
• Washable coatings: Maintain appearance with simple cleaning

2. Moisture Content: Ensure moisture content is below 10%
3. Clean Surface: Remove all dust, loose particles, and efflorescence

5. Apply Primer: Never skip this step – it’s crucial for adhesion

For Repainting:

1. Remove Loose Paint: Scrape away any flaking or peeling paint
2. Clean Thoroughly: Wash walls to remove dirt, grease, and mildew
3. Sand Smooth: Create a uniform surface for better adhesion
4. Spot Prime: Prime any bare patches before topcoating
5. Check for Damage: Repair cracks and water damage before painting

Application Conditions

UAE-Specific Considerations:

• Best Time to Paint Exterior: October to April (cooler months)
• Avoid Painting When:
  • Temperature exceeds 35°C

• Ideal Conditions:
  • Temperature: 15-30°C

  • Shaded surfaces or overcast days

Application Techniques

• Coats: 2 coats minimum for optimal coverage and durability
• Drying Time: 2-4 hours between coats (longer in humid conditions)

Brush Application:

• Use For: Edges, corners, detailed work

• Technique: Long, smooth strokes in one direction

Spray Application:

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Jotun Paints

Q1: How long does Jotun exterior paint last in UAE climate?

A: Jotashield Extreme typically lasts 10+ years, ColourLast 7-8 years, and Antifade 5-6 years with proper application and surface preparation. This far exceeds standard paints which may only last 2-3 years.

Q2: Is Jotun paint safe for children’s rooms?

A: Yes! Jotun Majestic Matt has Zero VOC certification and anti-bacterial properties, making it ideal for children’s rooms, nurseries, and healthcare facilities.

Q3: Can I apply Jotun paint myself or do I need a professional?

A: Jotun paints are designed for both professional and DIY application. However, for best results, especially on exteriors, we recommend professional application. Our team can connect you with experienced painters.

Q4: What’s the difference between Matt and Silk finish?

A: Matt finish has no sheen and hides surface imperfections well. Silk (semi-gloss) has a slight sheen, is more washable, and better for high-traffic or moisture-prone areas.

Q5: How much paint do I need for my project?

A: Calculate: (Wall area in m² ÷ Coverage per liter) × Number of coats × 1.15 (wastage factor). Example: 100m² wall ÷ 12m²/L × 2 coats × 1.15 = 19.2 liters needed.

Q6: Can Jotun paint be applied on previously painted surfaces?

A: Yes, but proper surface preparation is crucial. Remove loose paint, clean thoroughly, and apply primer on bare spots. For best adhesion, light sanding is recommended.

Q7: What’s the shelf life of Jotun paint?
