Coating hazards GB 30981.2-S-Pb≤1000-NC; complies with GB 30981.2-2025
For the paint system best suited to the surface to be protected, consult your local representative.
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.
When used as a temporary primer to protect blasted surfaces, Intergard 5101 may be applied over Intergard 269. The primer surface shall be dry and free from any contaminants; Intergard 5101 must be applied within the specified recoat interval (refer to the product Data Sheet for Intergard 269).
On newbuildings, remove weld spatter and grind welds and sharp edges smooth where required.
Welds and damaged areas of shop primer must be blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or prepared with power tools to Pt3 (JSRA SPSS:1984).
Intact, approved shop primer must be clean, dry and free of soluble salts and any other surface contaminants.
Unapproved shop primer must be fully blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007). In some cases, sweep blasting to a specified International Paint standard (e.g. AS2 or AS3) is acceptable. For specific advice, consult your local International Paint representative.
Major repair: abrasive blast clean to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007).
For maintenance, consult International Paint.
Blasted areas should be primed before oxidation occurs. If oxidation has occurred, the entire oxidised area must be re-blasted to the specified standard.
In-service maintenance: for tank coating projects, consult International Paint for the detailed tank coating procedure to be followed.
For specific advice and procedures, consult the local International Paint representative.
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 0.53–0.66 mm (21–26 thou); total output fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 176 kg/cm² (2500 psi)
Brush application is recommended for small areas only. Several coats may be required to achieve the specified film thickness.
Roller application is recommended for small areas only. Several coats may be required to achieve the specified film thickness.
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.

This product does not cure adequately below 5 °C.
For optimum performance, the curing temperature shall be above 10°C. Drying times and recoat intervals may vary due to site factors such as tank geometry or ventilation rate.
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.
Under certain climatic conditions, especially at low temperature and high humidity, amine blooming may occur on the coating surface during drying. To prevent this, an induction time of 30 minutes between mixing and application is recommended at temperatures below 25 °C.
