When used as part of an approved system, the coating holds the following certificates: • Food contact - grain cargo (NOHA) • Food contact - compliant with US Food and Drug Administration regulations: dry food. For details, consult the local International Paint representative.
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.
Major repair abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007). A blast profile of 75-100 µm is required. If oxidation has occurred between blasting and application of Intershield 803, the surface shall be re-blasted to the specified pictorial standard.
Surface defects exposed by abrasive blasting must be ground, filled or treated by a suitable method.
For application to underwater hulls, abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007).
For specific recommendations on maintenance and newbuilding, consult the local International Paint representative.
For local repair, where the achieved surface profile is above 50 µm, Intershield 803 may be applied by brush or roller to power-tool-cleaned surfaces of less than 2 m². Multiple coats may be required to obtain the correct film thickness.
Precautions: For marine environments in North America, the following surface preparation standards may be used: SSPC-SP6 instead of Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007); SSPC-SP10 instead of Sa2.5 (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 Component A with a power mixer. (2) Mix all of Component A with Component B and stir thoroughly with a power mixer.
Not recommended for use unless thinned for use as a temporary primer or applied at temperatures below 10°C. In these cases, use GTA220 at 5% by volume. Do not thin beyond the limits permitted by local environmental regulations. (If used as a temporary primer below 10°C, use 10% thinner.)
Recommended nozzle size 0.53–0.66 mm (21–26 thou); total output fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 211 kg/cm² (3000 psi)
Conventional spray application is not recommended.
Not recommended.
International GTA822
Do not allow paint to remain in hoses, spray guns or spray equipment. Flush all equipment thoroughly with International GTA822. Once a paint unit has been mixed, it shall not be resealed; if application is interrupted for an extended period, remix the components before recommencing application.
All equipment shall be cleaned with International GTA822 immediately after use. Flushing spray equipment at regular intervals during the working day is good working practice. The frequency of cleaning depends on the quantity sprayed, temperature and duration of use (including delay periods). 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.
Emergency contact numbers: USA/Canada — medical 1-800-854-6813; Europe — (44) 191 4696111; hospital and physician consultation (44) 207 6359191; China — (86) 532 83889090; other regions — contact the regional office. The curing agent may cause respiratory sensitisation — wear an air-fed mask when spraying.
After application, if immersed in sea water and cured below 10 °C, the coating surface may fade. This does not affect product performance.
Intershield 803 can cure at -5°C, but a curing period above 5°C is required to obtain full mechanical properties. Consult International Paint.
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.
