SYSTEMS AND
COMPATIBILITY
Consult your International Paint representative for the system best suited for the surfaces to be protected.
SURFACE
PREPARATIONS
Paint only clean, dry surfaces. Remove all grease, oil, soluble contaminants and other foreign matter by "solvent
cleaning" (SSPC-SP1).
Steel:
For optimum performance "Near White Blast Cleaning" (SSPC-SP10) is recommended.
Surface profile should be between 3 mils (76 microns) and 4 mils (102 microns).
Interzone 1000 must be applied before oxidation of the steel occurs. If oxidation does occur the entire oxidised
area should be reblasted to the standard specified above.
NOTE:
For use in Marine situations outside North America, the following surface preparation standards can be
used:
Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:1988) in place of SSPC-SP10

APPLICATION Maximum film build in one coat is best attained by airless spray. Application by conventional air spray may require
a multiple cross-spray to attain maximum film build. Material surface and air temperatures should be in the 70-90°
F (21-32°C) range with relative humidity below 85% to attain maximum film build. Lower or higher temperatures
may require specific application techniques to achieve maximum film build. Consult the following equipment
recommendations or utilize suitable equal.
Mixing Material is supplied in 2 containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the proportions supplied. (1) Agitate
Part A with a power agitator, (2) Combine entire contents of Part A and B and mix thoroughly with the power
agitator, (3) Allow the coating a 30 minute sweat-in period, at temperatures below 70°F (21°C).
Thinner International GTA220. Do not thin more than allowed by local environmental legislation.
Airless Spray Graco mastic gun; 0.051-0.053" (1295-1346 microns) orifice tip; 3/8" (9.5mm) ID high pressure material hose;
45:1 ratio pump; 3 GPM mastic portage and a large surge chamber attached. All screens removed from system.
Conventional Spray DeVilbiss MBC-510 gun; AC tip, 0.110" (2.8mm) and 62 aircap; ½" (12.7mm) ID material hose; double regulated
pressure tank or 8:1 ratio barrel type paint pump with fluid relaxing valve preferred for maximum production; oil
and moisture separators on all air supplies is essential.
Cleaner International GTA822
Work Stoppages and
Cleanup
Clean all equipment immediately after use with International GTA220. Spray equipment requires flushing with this
solvent. It is good working practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the working day.
Frequency will depend upon factors such as amount sprayed, temperature and elapsed time including work
stoppages. Monitor material condition. Do not exceed pot life limitations. All surplus materials and empty
containers should be disposed of in accordance with appropriate regional regulations/legislation.
Welding In the event welding or flame cutting is performed on metal coated with this product, dust and fumes will be
emitted which will require the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and adequate local exhaust
ventilation. In North America do so in accordance with instruction in ANSI/ASC Z49.1 "Safety in Welding and
Cutting."
SAFETY All work involving the application and use of this product should be performed in compliance with all
relevant national Health, Safety & Environmental standards and regulations.
Prior to use, obtain, consult and follow the Material Safety Data Sheet for this product concerning health
and safety information. Read and follow all precautionary notices on the Material Safety Data Sheet and
container labels. If you do not fully understand these warnings and instructions or if you can not strictly
comply with them, do not use this product. Proper ventilation and protective measures must be provided
during application and drying to keep solvent vapour concentrations within safe limits and to protect
against toxic or oxygen deficient hazards. Take precautions to avoid skin and eye contact (ie. gloves,
goggles, face masks, barrier creams etc.) Actual safety measures are dependant on application methods
and work environment.

LIMITATIONS Apply in good weather when air and surface temperatures are above 50°F (10°C). Surface temperature must be at
least 5°F (3°C) above dew point. For optimum application properties, bring material to 70-80°F (21-27°C) prior to
mixing and application.
When applying by methods other than airless spray, required film build is unlikely to be achieved.
Application by conventional air spray may require a multiple cross-spray pass to attain maximum film build.
Overcoating information is given for guidance only and is subject to regional variation depending upon local climate
and environmental conditions. Consult your local International Paint representative for specific recommendations.
Technical and application data herein is for the purpose of establishing a general guideline of the coating and
proper coating application procedures. Test performance results were obtained in a controlled laboratory
