International Interzone 1000 is a very high solids, low VOC, two component high build epoxy containing a high level of chemically resistant glass flake which imparts properties of excellent corrosion, abrasion and chemical resistance.

International Interzone 1000 is one of the most proven and reliable glass flake epoxies on the market today, with documented in-service performance dating back almost 30 years. Providing outstanding abrasion and corrosion resistance to steelwork located in the harshest environments, Interzone 1000 is ideal for splashzone areas on offshore platforms, jackets, transition pieces for offshore wind installations, jetties, decks, bridges, chemical plants, pulp and paper mills as well as water treatment plants.

International Interzone 1000 is suitable for use at new construction and during maintenance work especially over surface tolerant primers and rapid cure epoxies.

Intended Uses

• For the protection of steelwork in areas where high abrasion and corrosion resistance are required including splashzone areas on offshore platforms, jetties, decks, bridges, chemical plants, pulp and paper mills, and water treatment plants.
• Excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment, gives good compatibility with both sacrificial anode and impressed current systems, making Interzone 1000 particularly suitable for the long term protection of sub-sea structures.
• As part of a non-slip deck system in conjunction with appropriate aggregate*.

Features & Benefits

• Reinforced with >30% lamellar glass flake by weight in the dry film providing enhanced durability and corrosion resistance to extend lifetime to first maintenance
• High film build, high solids, low VOC
• Compatible with sacrificial and impressed current cathodic protection systems
• Compliant to ISO20340 and pre-qualified to Norsok M-501 for Systems 1, 4 and 7A, B and C at 120˚C (248˚F)

International Interzone 1000 provides outstanding corrosion protection thanks to the high levels of lamaller glass flake pigment (>30% in the dry film). At this level of glass flake the film is almost impenetrable by water and corrosive ions.

With its strong resistance to cathodic disbondment, International Interzone 1000 shows good compatibility with both sacrificial anode and impressed current systems. For this reason it is ideal for long term protection of subsea or immersed structures.

International Interzone 1000 has a long track record of delivering corrosion protection going back nearly 30 years. After almost 30 years on the Hutton TLP, International Interzone 1000 has been shown to provide outstanding corrosion protection.

With such an outstanding track record, International Interzone 1000 has been selected to provide a long term solution for offshore wind farm owners on a number of installations.

* International Interzone 1000 can be used as a non-skid deck system by modification with addition of GMA132 (crushed flint) aggregate. Application should then be to a suitably primed surface. Typical thicknesses will be between 500-1,000 microns (20-40 mils). Preferred application is by a suitable large tip hopper gun (e.g. Sagola 429 or Air texture gun fitted with a 5-10 mm nozzle). Trowel or roller can be used for small areas. Alternatively, a broadcast method of application can be used.
