For the paint system best suited to the surface to be protected, consult your local International Paint representative.
Applied 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 or ordinary fresh water as appropriate, and remove all oil, grease, soluble contaminants and other foreign matter in accordance with the SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning standard.
Newbuilding/refit: Intergard 723 should always be applied over a recommended primer. The primer surface must be dry and free of contaminants, and Intergard 723 must be applied within the specified recoat interval (refer to the relevant product data sheet). Damaged areas should be prepared to the specified standard (e.g. Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007)) and primed before applying Intergard 723.
Repair/in-service maintenance: Intergard 723 should always be applied over a recommended primer. The primer surface must be dry and free of contaminants. Intergard 723 must be applied within the specified recoat interval (refer to the relevant product data sheet). For boottop areas, the primer recoat interval is shortened. Consult International Paint.
Damaged areas should be prepared to the specified standard (e.g. Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007)) and primed before applying Intergard 723.
Intergard 723 can be applied directly over aged Intergard 723 that has been thoroughly washed with fresh water and degreased, provided the coating to be overcoated is intact and firmly adherent. Loose or flaking coating should be scraped back to a firm edge and repaired with Intergard 723 or a suitable primer before applying the full coat.
For specific advice, consult your local International Paint representative.
Note: for the marine environment in North America, the following surface preparation standard may be used: SSPC-SP10 in place of Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007)
The coating is supplied in two containers as one unit. Always mix the entire unit in the supplied ratio.
(1) Stir the base (Component A) with a power mixer.
(2) Mix all of the curing agent (Component B) with the base (Component A) and stir thoroughly with a power mixer.
International GTA220. Normally no thinning is required. Under extreme conditions, consult your local representative for application advice. Do not thin beyond the limits of local environmental regulations.
Recommended.
Nozzle tip 0.38 mm (15 thou); total fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 176 kg/cm² (2500 lb/in²)
Use suitable dedicated equipment. Thinning may be required.
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 GTA220/GTA822
Do not leave paint in hoses, spray guns or spray equipment. Flush all equipment thoroughly with International GTA220/GTA822. Once mixed, paint should not be resealed; if work is interrupted for too long, mix a fresh batch before resuming application.
All equipment should be cleaned immediately after use with International GTA220/GTA822. Flushing spray equipment periodically during the day is good working practice. Cleaning frequency depends on the volume sprayed, temperature and time in use (including delays). Do not exceed the pot life of the paint.
All surplus paint and empty containers must be disposed of in accordance with appropriate local regulations/laws.
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. If these warnings and requirements are not fully understood, or cannot be strictly observed, do not use the product. During application and drying of the product, provide adequate ventilation and protective measures to keep solvent vapour concentrations within safe limits, so as to prevent poisoning or oxygen deficiency. Take protective measures to avoid skin and eye contact with the product (e.g. gloves, goggles, face shield, barrier cream). Specific safety measures depend on the application method and working environment.

The product does not cure adequately below 5 °C. For optimum performance, the curing temperature shall be above 10 °C.
Like all epoxy-based coatings, Intergard 723 chalks when exposed to UV light.
Recoat data are for guidance only and depend on local climatic and environmental conditions. For specific advice, consult your local International Paint representative.
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.
