Jotun

Have you ever thought about the colour of your refrigerator? Or how it would look if it was not coated? Did you ever wonder what prevents oil rigs from rusting in the fierce conditions of the open sea? Were you aware that applying special coatings to steel constructions make them heat resistant for longer, in case of fire?
