Systems and Compatibility

Consult Rawlins Technical on 0113 2455450 (option 2) or send a message to [email protected] or your International Paint representative for the system best suited for the surfaces to be protected.

Surface Preparations

Use in accordance with the standard Worldwide Marine Specifications.

All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination.

High pressure fresh water wash or fresh water wash, as appropriate, and remove all oil or grease, soluble contaminants and other foreign matter in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.

Repair/OBM

Prepare area to be repaired to a minimum of St2 (ISO 8501-1:1998). Higher levels of surface preparation by abrasive blasting to Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2001) or hydroblasting to HB2M (International Paint Hydroblasting Standards), will enhance product performance.

Feather or chip back surrounding area to a sound edge.

Ensure that the area is clean and dry prior to application of Interprime 198.

Overlap the primer onto existing coatings by approximately 2-3cm.

Consult Rawlins Technical or your International Paint representative for specific recommendations.

Application

Limitations

It is recommended that Interprime 198 is not overcoated with epoxy coatings.

In certain regions, for specific customer requests and where cosmetic properties are not of concern, Interprime 198 may be applied without a cosmetic finish. Consult your regional technical centre for guidelines and details of colours available.

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. Apply in good weather. Temperature of the surface to be coated must be at least 3°C above the dew point. For optimum application properties bring the material to 21-27°C, unless specifically instructed otherwise, prior to mixing and application. Unmixed material (in closed containers) should be maintained in protected storage in accordance with information given in the STORAGE Section of the data sheet. Technical and application data herein is for the purpose of establishing a general guideline of the coating application procedures. Test performance results were obtained in a controlled laboratory environment and International Paint makes no claim that the exhibited published test results, or any other tests, accurately represent results found in all field environments. As application, environmental and design factors can vary significantly, due care should be exercised in the selection, verification of performance and use of the coating.

Storage

Shelf life:

24 months minimum at 25°C. Subject to reinspection thereafter. Store in dry, shaded conditions away from sources of heat and ignition.
