This product contains no organotin compounds acting as biocides and complies with the international treaty adopted by the IMO in October 2001 on the control of harmful antifouling systems on ships (IMO document AFS/CONF/26).
When used as part of an approved system, this product holds the following certificates: the product has been approved by the following classification societies as compliant with the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships, 2001 (AFS 2001): • Bureau Veritas • DNV GL • Korean Register of Shipping • Lloyd's Register. For details, consult your local International Paint representative.
For the paint system best suited to the surface to be protected, consult your local International Paint representative.
Use in accordance with the standard "Worldwide Marine Specifications". All surfaces to be coated must be clean, dry and free of contaminants. Wash with high-pressure fresh water or normal fresh water, as appropriate, and remove all oil, grease, soluble contaminants and other foreign matter in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning standard.
Newbuildings: Interflex 8700 SPC should always be applied over the recommended anti-corrosive coating system. The primer surface should be dry and free of any contaminants, and Interflex 8700 SPC must be applied within the specified overcoating interval (see the relevant product data sheet). Damaged areas etc. shall be treated to the specified standard (e.g. Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007)) and primed before applying Interflex 8700 SPC.
Applying Interflex 8700 SPC over International Paint Intersmooth SPC antifouling or competitors' antifouling paints: for special recommendations, consult your local International Paint representative.
This coating is a single-component product; stir thoroughly with a power mixer before application.
Not recommended. Only in special cases, use International GTA007 (maximum 5% by volume). Do not thin beyond the limits of local environmental regulations.
Recommended nozzle tip size 0.63–0.79 mm (25–31 thou); total fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 211 kg/cm² (3000 psi)
Conventional spray application is not recommended.
Brush application is recommended for small areas only. Several coats may be required to achieve the specified film thickness.
Roller application is recommended for small areas only. Several coats may be required to achieve the specified film thickness.
International GTA007
Flush all equipment thoroughly with GTA007. All unused paint shall be stored in tightly closed containers. Partly filled containers may show an increase in viscosity during storage. Strain the paint before use.
If welding or flame cutting is performed on metal coated with this product, dust and fumes will be released; use suitable personal protective equipment and local exhaust ventilation. In North America, follow the instructions in ANSI/ASC Z49.1 “Safety in Welding and Cutting”.
All work related to the application and use of this product must comply with national health, safety and environmental protection standards and regulations.
Before using this product, obtain, read and follow the health and safety information in the Material Safety Data Sheet for the product. Read and observe all precautions in the Material Safety Data Sheet and on the container label.

After immersion, the product colour becomes more vivid.
Apply in good weather. The temperature of the surface to be coated must be at least 3 °C above the dew point. Unless otherwise specifically instructed, raise the paint temperature to between 21 and 27 °C before mixing and application to achieve optimum application performance. Unmixed paint (in sealed containers) must be stored protectively as specified in the Storage section of this product data sheet. The technical and application data given here are intended as general guidance for establishing an application procedure. Test results are obtained in a controlled laboratory environment, and International Paint does not claim that the published test results, or any other test results, accurately represent results obtained in all site environments. Because application, environmental and design parameters vary widely, care must be exercised in coating selection, performance verification and use.
