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 Intersheen 778 shall always be applied over the recommended primer. The primer surface shall be dry and free from all contaminants. Intersheen 778 must be applied within the specified overcoating interval (refer to the relevant product data sheet). Areas with damage, defects and other conditions shall be prepared to the specified standard (for example: Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007)), and primed before application of Intersheen 778.
Maintenance / In-service Maintenance Intersheen 778 shall always be applied over the recommended primer. The primer surface shall be dry and free from all contaminants. Intersheen 778 must be applied within the specified overcoating interval (refer to the relevant product data sheet). Areas with damage, defects and other conditions shall be prepared to the specified standard (for example: Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007)), and primed before application of Intersheen 778.
Intersheen 778 may be applied directly to old Intersheen 778 coatings that have been thoroughly washed with fresh water and degreased, provided the coating to be overcoated is intact and firmly adherent. Loose or flaking coatings should be removed to a firm edge, and the area repaired with Intersheen 778 or a suitable primer before application of 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)
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 size 0.38–0.53 mm (15–21 thou); total output fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 176 kg/cm² (2500 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 develop skinning and/or increased 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. 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.

When applying Intersheen 778 by brush or roller, care is required to prevent "lifting" of recently applied single-component coatings.
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.
