Jotun Paints, one of the world’s leading producers and suppliers of paints and coatings, has supplied over 3 million litres of paint for the first phase of Dubai Metro’s Red Line, which has commenced operations. Under the terms of the contract awarded to Jotun Paints, the company is still set to deliver its paints and coatings for the remaining phases within the Red Line and the entire Green Line, which are expected to be fully opened to the public by June and December 2010, respectively.
The paints used for the first mass rapid transport system in the region include floor coating (‘Jotafloor’), steel protection (‘Penguard’ and ‘Hardtop’), fire protection (‘Steelmaster’), interior emulsion (‘Fenomastic’) and exterior protection (‘Jotashield Tex Ultra’), which all come under the manufacturer’s pioneering ‘Single Source Solution’ concept.
Approximately 1.7 million litres of protective coatings and 1.4 million litres of decorative paints were used within the newly opened train system.

said Eirik Kristensen, Regional Marketing Manager – MENA, Jotun Paints.
