CERTIFICATION

When used as part of an approved scheme, this material has the following certification:

• Food Contact - FDA Compliant: Liquid and Dry Foodstuffs

• Tank Coatings - Recognised Corrosion Control Coating (LR)

• Food Contact - Carriage of Grain (NOHA)

  Consult your International Paint representative for details.

SYSTEMS AND COMPATIBILITY

Consult your International Paint representative for the system best suited for the surfaces to be protected. When using in cargo or grey water tanks, consult the Interline 704 Cargo Tank or Grey Water Tanks Application Guidelines.

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.
This product must only be applied to surfaces prepared by abrasive blast cleaning to Sa21⁄2 (ISO 8501-1:2007).
A sharp, angular surface profile of 50-100 microns is recommended.
Any minor areas (consult International Paint) remaining after blast cleaning has been carried out, where the specified standard has not been met, may be prepared by power tooling to Pt3 (JSRA SPSS:1984).
Interline 704 must be applied before oxidation of the steel occurs. If oxidation does occur the entire oxidised area should be reblasted to the standard specified above.
Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process, should be ground, welded, or treated in the appropriate manner.
Surfaces may be primed with Interline 982 to 40 microns dry film thickness before oxidation occurs. Alternatively, the blast standard can be maintained by use of dehumidification.

REPAIR

Consult International Paint.
Consult your International Paint representative for specific recommendations.

APPLICATION

Mixing

Material is supplied in 2 containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the proportions supplied.
(1) Agitate Base (Part A) with a power agitator.
(2) Combine entire contents of Curing Agent (Part B) with Base (Part A) and mix thoroughly with power agitator.

Thinner

Not recommended. Use International GTA220 only in exceptional circumstances. DO NOT thin more than allowed by local environmental legislation.

Airless Spray

Recommended
Tip Range 0.64-0.69 mm (25-27 thou)
Total output fluid pressure at spray tip not less than 211 kg/cm2 (3000 p.s.i.)

Conventional Spray

Application by conventional spray is not recommended.

Brush

Application by brush is recommended for small areas only. Multiple coats may be required to achieve specified film thickness.

Roller

Application by roller is recommended for small areas only. Multiple coats may be required to achieve specified film thickness.

Cleaner

International GTA822

Work Stoppages and Cleanup

Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Thoroughly flush all equipment with International GTA822. Once units of paint have been mixed they should not be resealed and it is advised that after prolonged stoppages work recommences with freshly mixed units.
Clean all equipment immediately after use with International GTA822. It is good working practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the working day. Frequency of cleaning will depend upon amount sprayed, temperature and elapsed time, including any delays. Do not exceed pot life limitations.
All surplus materials and empty containers should be disposed of in accordance with appropriate regional regulations/legislation.

Welding

In the event welding or flame cutting is performed on metal coated with this product, dust and fumes will be emitted which will require the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and adequate local exhaust ventilation. In North America do so in accordance with instruction in ANSI/ASC Z49.1 "Safety in Welding and Cutting."

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.

LIMITATIONS

This product will not cure adequately below 5°C. For maximum performance ambient curing temperatures should be above 10°C.
International Paint should be consulted to confirm that Interline 704 is suitable for the cargoes to be carried. For maximum performance the curing temperature should be above 10°C.

The drying times and overcoating intervals may alter due to various on-site factors such as tank configuration, ventilation rates, etc. Consult the detailed application procedure for the time interval required between coating completion and cargo loading.
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.
