For cargo oil tanks or slop tanks, refer to the Interline 994LT cargo oil tank or slop tank application procedure.
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/major repair: where required, remove weld spatter and grind welds and sharp edges smooth.
Abrasive blast-clean to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007). If oxidation occurs between blasting and application of Interline 994LT, re-blast the surface to the specified pictorial standard.
Surface defects exposed during blasting must be ground, welded or treated by a suitable method.
For maintenance, consult International Paint.
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.

International GTA415/GTA822
Do not leave paint in hoses, spray guns or spray equipment. Flush all equipment thoroughly with International GTA415/GTA822. Once mixed, a batch of paint shall not be re-sealed; if work is interrupted for a long period, remix the components before resuming.
All equipment shall be cleaned with International GTA415/GTA822 immediately after use. Periodically flushing spray equipment during the working day is good practice. The frequency of cleaning depends on the quantity sprayed, temperature and elapsed time (including delays). Do not exceed the pot life of the mixed 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 minimum dry film thickness of the coating system is 240 µm.
The maximum dry film thickness of the coating system is 450 µm.
For tank areas that are difficult to coat due to structural issues, such as tanks with many stiffeners, and areas where over-thickness cannot be avoided, a maximum film thickness of up to 600 µm is acceptable.
This product cannot fully cure below 5 °C. During application, and for the first 48 hours after the final coat, the steel temperature must not be below 5 °C and the relative humidity must not exceed 80%.
Consult International Paint to confirm the range of cargoes for which the cargo oil tank coating is suitable. For certain special cargoes, forced heat curing is required - refer to the International Paint Cargo Resistance Guide.
Drying times and overcoating intervals may vary with site factors such as tank geometry or ventilation rate. For the required interval between completion of coating and cargo loading, refer to the detailed application procedure.
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 surface temperature must be at least 3 °C above the dew point and not below 5 °C. Throughout the application (including between coats), the temperature must be maintained at or above 5 °C, and this must continue for at least 48 hours after the final coat of the system. Before and during application, the base and hardener must be warmed to at least 15 °C. In winter, store the paint above 15 °C for at least 48 hours to reach the required minimum paint temperature.
If the temperature exceeds 25 °C, both components must be cooled to 15–25 °C before application. Unmixed paint (in tightly closed containers) should 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.
