International, Interfine 2080

Interfine® 2080 is a high performance, two component, acrylic polysiloxane finish which affords extended lifetime to first maintenance when utilised as part of a high performance anti-corrosive system. Interfine 2080 offers superior gloss and colour retention and provides significantly improved resistance to yellowing and chalking when compared to typical conventional topcoats including catalysed acrylic and polyurethane finishes.

Intended Uses

Interfine 2080 is a tough, hard wearing finish coat for application over properly primed surfaces, which exhibits good abrasion resistance. Suitable for application by spray and roller, in both factory new construction and site maintenance application situations, and is an ideal solution where legislation prevents the use of isocyanates.

For use in those market sectors where high standards of cosmetic appearance and aesthetics are a key requirement. These include high performance steel constructions such as sports stadia, bridges, offshore platforms, FPSO vessels, tank farms, chemical and petrochemical plants, pulp and paper mills, and the power industry, in addition to general industrial and commercial steelwork where aesthetics are important.

Surface Preparation

All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to paint application all surfaces should be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000.

Primed Surfaces:
Interfine 2080 should always be applied over a recommended anti-corrosive coating scheme. The primer surface should be dry and free from all contamination and Interfine 2080 must be applied within the overcoating intervals specified (consult the relevant product data sheet).

Areas of breakdown, damage etc., should be prepared to the specified standard (e.g. Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6, Abrasive Blasting, or SSPC-SP11, Power Tool Cleaning) and patch primed prior to the application of Interfine 2080.

Product Characteristics

Apply in good climatic conditions. The temperature of the surface to be coated must be at least 3°C (5°F) above the dew point.

When applying Interfine 2080 in confined spaces ensure adequate ventilation.

Level of sheen and surface finish are dependent on application method. Avoid using a mixture of application methods. Best results in terms of gloss and appearance will always be obtained with conventional air spray application.

For brush and roller application, and in some colours, two coats of Interfine 2080 may be required to give uniform coverage, especially when applying Interfine 2080 over dark undercoats, and when using certain lead free bright colours such as yellows and oranges. Best practice is to use a colour compatible intermediate or anticorrosive coating under the Interfine 2080.

Pot life times must not be exceeded even though the material may be still liquid and appear useable. It is good working practice that application should commence with full unopened units of material. Due to the moisture sensitivity with partially filled units of the curing agent component, there is a danger of reaction with atmospheric moisture which could adversely affect the performance of the final coating film.

Interfine 2080 will cure satisfactorily at relative humidities between 40% and 85%. Curing will be slower at lower humidities and faster at higher humidities.

Condensation occurring during or immediately after application may result in a matt finish and an inferior film.

Premature exposure to ponding water will cause colour change, especially in dark colours and at low temperatures.

When overcoating after weathering or ageing, ensure the coating is fully cleaned to remove all surface contamination such as oil, grease, salt crystals and traffic fumes, before application of a further coat of Interfine 2080.

This product is not recommended for use in continuous immersion conditions.

Where prolonged chemical or solvent splashing is likely to occur contact International Protective Coatings for information regarding suitability.

Note:
VOC values are typical and are provided for guidance purpose only. These may be subject to variation depending on factors such as differences in colour and normal manufacturing tolerances.

Low molecular weight reactive additives, which will form part of the film during normal ambient cure conditions, will also affect VOC values determined using EPA Method 24.
