When used as part of an approved scheme, the product holds the following certificates: • Food contact - grain carriage (NOHH). For details, consult your 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.
Apply only to clean surfaces. Remove all grease, oil, soluble contaminants and other foreign matter in accordance with solvent cleaning (SSPC-SP1).
Major repair: abrasive blast clean to Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or ultra-high-pressure water clean to International Paint standard HB2M/H (if abrasive blasting is used, fresh water washing should be carried out before starting). Ultra-high-pressure water cleaning is recommended only for small-area repair of ballast tanks, freeboard and above-water areas.
Interbond 808 may be applied over surfaces prepared to the International Paint wet blasting standard SB2M/H. Wet blasting is recommended only for topsides and above-water areas.
Repair/in-service maintenance: mechanically prepare corroded areas to St 3 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or ultra-high-pressure water clean to International Paint standard HB2M/H. Abrade the surrounding intact area and feather the edges of damaged coating.
If recoating large areas of two-component old coatings, the surface should be high-pressure fresh water washed before application. For specific advice on two-component coatings suitable for recoating with Interbond 808, consult your local International Paint representative. Interbond 808 should not be used to maintain or recoat one-component ballast tank coatings.
When Interbond 808 is applied as a two-coat scheme, Interbond 808 aluminium must be applied as the first coat.
Note: for marine environments in North America, the following surface preparation standards may be used: SSPC-SP6 instead of Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1:2007); SSPC-SP3 or SSPC-SP11 instead of St 3 (ISO 8501-1:2007).
The coating is supplied in two containers as one unit. Always mix the entire unit in the supplied ratio. Once mixed, use within the specified pot life.
1) Stir the base (Component A) with a power mixer.
2) Mix all of the base (Component A) with the curing agent (Component B) and stir thoroughly with a power mixer.
International GTA220. Normally no thinning is required. Under extreme conditions, consult your local representative for application advice. Do not thin beyond the limits of local environmental regulations.
Recommended nozzle size 0.45-0.66 mm (18-26 thou); total fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 190-246 kg/cm² (2700-3500 lb/in²).
Brush application is recommended for small areas only. Several coats may be required to achieve the specified film thickness.
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. 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.

The product does not cure adequately below 5 °C. The substrate temperature must not exceed 40 °C.
Interbond 808 can be applied to damp, but drying, surfaces - not wet surfaces. It must not be applied to water puddles or water droplets. A simple test for moisture is as follows: draw a "V" shape on the surface to be coated with a finger; if water droplets collect at the bottom of the "V", the surface is wet, not damp, and should not be applied. However, the surface may be dried and coated provided it does not become wet during application.
Once immersed in water, the Interbond 808 series continues its curing process. However, premature immersion after application will retard the curing of the coating and lead to softening of the film. See "Drying time before launching".
When the curing agent of Interbond 808 is stored below 5 °C, it tends to become cloudy. Heating the curing agent above 5 °C restores its clear character. Using the curing agent in a cloudy state has not been found to adversely affect performance.
Recoat data are for guidance only and depend on local climatic and environmental conditions. For specific advice, consult your local International Paint representative.
For ideal application performance, raise the paint temperature to 25-30 °C before mixing and application, unless otherwise specified. Unmixed paint (in tightly closed containers) should be stored protectively in the manner specified in the "Storage" section of the 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.
