When used as part of an approved scheme, this coating has the following certificates:• Fire resistance — in accordance with the provisions of the "Marine Equipment Directive"• Fire resistance — in accordance with low flame spread requirements (Exova Warringtonfire)For details, consult your local representative.
Intergard 5555 may only be applied over epoxy anti-corrosive primers and may be overcoated with epoxy or alkyd primers and alkyd or polyurethane topcoats. The primer or topcoat used depends on the vessel area and application location. Typical primers or topcoats include:Intergard 400Intergard 7500Interprime 198Interprime 538Interlac 665Interthane 989For the ideal primer system for the application, 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.
On newbuildings, remove weld spatter and grind welds and sharp edges smooth where required.
Weld seams and damaged shop-primed areas shall be prepared at least to St2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) by hand or power tool.
Intact, approved shop primer must be clean, dry and free of soluble salts and any other surface contaminants.
Non-approved shop primer shall be thoroughly cleaned to St3 (ISO 8501-1:2007) by power tool. In some cases, sweep blasting to the specified International Paint standard (e.g. AS2 or AS3) is also acceptable. For specific recommendations, consult your local representative.
For specific advice, consult your local representative.
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.
Use International GTA220 only in special cases. Do not thin beyond the range permitted by local environmental regulations.
Recommended nozzle size 0.38–0.53 mm (15–21 thou); total output fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 176 kg/cm² (2500 psi)
Use suitable dedicated equipment. Thinning may be required.
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 shall be cleaned with International thinner immediately after use. Periodically flushing spray equipment during the working day is good practice. The frequency of cleaning depends on the quantity sprayed, temperature, relative humidity and elapsed time (including delays). Do not exceed the pot life of the mixed 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.

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.
