The 120-year old Paris structure is being repainted using approximately 70 ton of Jotun’s Mammut urethane alkyd-based protective coating as part of an on-going refurbishment scheme.
Jotun Mammut was originally specified by operator Societe d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel following an extensive three-year test program of different systems from various suppliers the last time the Eiffel Tower was repainted in 2002.
Greek-based industrial painting contractors Stelma will be deploying a specialist team to repaint the 220,000-square-meters surface area by late 2010.
Specifically designed to provide longer protection of structural, steel and iron work, the Jotun system consists of Mammut RQ topcoat and primer.
