Systems and compatibility

Consult your International Paint representative for the system best suited for the surfaces to be protected.

Surface Preparations

Use in accordance with the standard Worldwide Marine Specifications.All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination.High pressure fresh water wash or fresh water wash, as appropriate, and remove all oil or grease, soluble contaminants and other foreign matter in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.

Newbuilding:
Where necessary, remove weld spatter and smooth weld seams and sharp edges.Weld seams and areas of shop primer damage or breakdown should be blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or power tooled to Pt3 (JSRA SPSS:1984).

Intact shop primers must be clean, dry and free from soluble salts and any other surface contaminants.If the shop primer shows extensive or widely scattered breakdown, overall sweep blasting may be necessary.Consult your International Paint representative for specific recommendations.

Special Note:
When overcoating with Intergard 410, Intergard 415 and Intergard 740 the anticipated level of intercoat adhesion can only be achieved in "extended" overcoating situations when:

a) the aged coating has the "extended" surface characteristics required for long term overcoatability. For example, an over applied epoxy MIO may not have its usual "textured" surface and will no longer be overcoatable after ageing unless it is abraded.

b) the coating to be overcoated is intact, tightly adherent, clean, dry and free of all contaminants.

c) coatings with a glossy surface are treated by light surface abrasion, sweep blasting or other suitable processes which do not cut through or detract from the performance of the underlying coating.

Consult your International Paint representative for specific recommendations.

Safety

All work involving the application and use of this product should be performed in compliance with all relevant national Health, Safety & Environmental standards and regulations.

Prior to use, obtain, consult and follow the Material Safety Data Sheet for this product concerning health and safety information. Read and follow all precautionary notices on the Material Safety Data Sheet and container labels. If you do not fully understand these warnings and instructions or if you can not strictly comply with them, do not use this product. Proper ventilation and protective measures must be provided during application and drying to keep solvent vapour concentrations within safe limits and to protect against toxic or oxygen deficient hazards. Take precautions to avoid skin and eye contact (ie. gloves, goggles, face masks, barrier creams etc.) Actual safety measures are dependant on application methods and work environment.

Emergency contact numbers can be found in the Technical Data Sheet (TDS)

Limitations

This product will not cure adequately below 0°C. For maximum performance ambient curing temperature should be above 5°C.

Optimum performance is achieved when Intergard 400 is applied over blasted steel.

Overcoating information is given for guidance only and is subject to regional variation depending upon local climate and environmental conditions. Consult your local International Paint representative for specific recommendations.Apply in good weather. Temperature of the surface to be coated must be at least 3°C above the dew point. For optimum application properties bring the material to 21-27°C, unless specifically instructed otherwise, prior to mixing and application. Unmixed material (in closed containers) should be maintained in protected storage in accordance with information given in the STORAGE Section of this data sheet. Technical and application data herein is for the purpose of establishing a general guideline of the coating application procedures. Test performance results were obtained in a controlled laboratory environment and International Paint makes no claim that the exhibited published test results, or any other tests, accurately represent results found in all field environments. As application, environmental and design factors can vary significantly, due care should be exercised in the selection, verification of performance and use of the coating.In the overcoating data section 'ext' = extended overcoating period.
