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.
Approval by external bodies may depend on the formulation and/or the production plant
For the paint system best suited to the surface to be protected, consult your local International Paint representative.
For use in cargo holds, refer to the Interbond 201 cargo hold application procedure.
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.
For refurbishment, abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007). If oxidation occurs between blasting and application of Interbond 201, 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.
Interbond 201 may be applied over surfaces prepared to the International Paint ultra-high-pressure water cleaning standard HB2, with flash rust to a standard not lower than HB2M. Ultra-high-pressure water cleaning is recommended only for cargo holds, topsides and above-water areas.
Or - Interbond 201 may be applied over surfaces prepared to the International Paint wet blast standard SB2; flash rust must not be worse than SB2M.
Wet blasting is recommended only for topsides and above-water areas.
Repair/in-service maintenance — exposed steel and corrosion: clean by hand or power tool at least to St2 (ISO 8501-1:2007).
Note: all mill scale shall be removed; areas not suitably treated by chipping or needle gun shall be spot-blasted at least to Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007).
Generally, this method is suitable for grade C or D steel.
Or — abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007). If oxidation occurs between blasting and application of Interbond 201, the surface shall be re-blasted to the specified pictorial standard.
Or — Interbond 201 may be applied over surfaces prepared to the 'International Paint ultra-high-pressure water cleaning standard' HB2, with flash rust to a standard not lower than HB2M.
Interbond 201 is suitable for application over most old coating systems. Loose or flaking coatings shall be removed to a firm edge, and Interbond 201 shall be applied with an overlap of 2–3 cm (1 in) onto the existing coating. Glossy epoxy and polyurethane may require abrading.
Full coat: this product may be applied as a full coat over most general types of existing coatings at least 3 months old. A patch test is recommended before full application over a given generic coating type. For acceptable coating types and the degree of surface preparation required, consult International Paint.
Precise control of film thickness is critical, especially when recoating existing coating systems.
Notes on overcoating during maintenance/in-service maintenance: Interthane 990 can be applied over weathered (chalked) Interbond 201 temperate-type coatings more than 3 months old, provided the surface is washed with fresh water to remove all dirt and contaminants, and then degreased in accordance with the "SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning" standard.
Interthane 990 should not be used to overcoat Interbond 201 low-temperature type. For good decorative performance, the Interbond 201 low-temperature type should be overcoated with Intergard 740 or Intersheen 579.
For specific advice, consult your local International Paint representative.
Note: for marine environments in North America, the following surface preparation standards may be used: SSPC-SP10 in place of Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007), SSPC-SP6 in place of Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007), SSPC-SP2 in place of St2 (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 the base (Component A) with a power mixer.
(2) Mix all of the curing agent (Component B) with the base (Component A) 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.
Recommended nozzle tip size 0.53–0.84 mm (21–33 thou); total fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 176–246 kg/cm² (2500–3500 psi)
Conventional spray application is not recommended.
Brush application is recommended for small areas only. Several coats may be required to achieve the specified film thickness.
Recommended.
Use a cleaning solvent that complies with local regulations. Consult the local representative for specific recommendations.
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. 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.

When spraying large areas, apply a brush coat over pitted or rough surfaces to ensure full penetration. Touch-up of complex members is recommended.
The low-temperature grade of Interbond 201 is not suitable for wet/dry dual-purpose tanks.
Interbond 201 achieves optimum performance when applied over blast-cleaned steel.
As with all epoxy-based coatings, Interbond 201 chalks when exposed to UV light.
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.
