Coating hazards GB 30981.2-S-Pb≤1000-NC; complies with GB 30981.2-2025
When used as part of an approved scheme, the coating holds the following certificates: • Food contact — grain cargoes (NOHH) • Food contact — complies with US FDA regulations for dry foodstuffs. For details, consult the 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 overhaul: abrasive blast clean 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 803Plus, 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 special maintenance recommendations, consult your local International Paint representative.
For local repair, if the achieved surface profile is above 50 µm, Intershield 803Plus may be applied by brush or roller to power-tool-cleaned areas 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 standard may be used: SSPC-SP6 instead of Sa2 (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. Use International GTA220 only in special cases. Do not thin beyond the range permitted by local environmental regulations.
Note 1: When used as a temporary primer, dilute with GTA220 at 5% by volume. Note 2: When used as a temporary primer below 10 °C, dilute with GTA220 at 10% by volume.
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.
Do not leave paint in hoses, spray guns or spray equipment. Flush all equipment thoroughly with International thinner. 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 thinner. 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.
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 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 803Plus can cure at -5 °C, but must be cured above 5 °C for a period 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.
