When used as part of an approved system, this product holds the following certificates: • Food contact - grain loading (NOHA) • Food contact - complies with US Food and Drug Administration regulations: dry food. For details, consult your local International Paint representative.
For the paint system best suited to the surface to be protected, consult your local International Paint 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.
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.
Overhaul: abrasive blast clean to Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1:2007). A blast roughness of 75–100 µm is required. If oxidation occurs between blasting and application of Intergard 7020, 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.
If applied in ballastable cargo holds, abrasive blast cleaning to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) is required.
Repair/in-service maintenance - exposed steel and corrosion: abrasive blast clean to Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1:2007). If oxidation occurs between blasting and application of Intergard 7020, the surface shall be re-blasted to the specified pictorial standard.
Intergard 7020 is suitable for overcoating most old coating systems. Loose or flaking coatings shall be removed to a firm edge; Intergard 7020 should overlap the existing old coating by 2–3 cm (1 inch). Old coatings may require abrading.
Full coating: this product can be applied as a full coat over most conventional paint coatings more than 3 months old; old coatings may require abrading. It is recommended to carry out a small patch test before full application over certain conventional paints. For acceptable conventional types and the required degree of surface preparation, consult International Paint.
Accurate film thickness control is critical, especially when overcoating old coating systems.
Wet holds: abrasive blast clean to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007). Welds and damaged areas of shop primer shall be blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or power tool cleaned to Pt 3 (JSRA SPSS:1984).
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-SP11 in place of Pt3 (JSRA SPSS:1984).
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.

Recommended nozzle size 0.53–0.63 mm (21–25 thou); total output fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 281 kg/cm² (4000 lb/in²).
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.
Roller application is recommended for small areas only. Several coats may be required to achieve the specified film thickness.
International GTA220/GTA822
Do not leave paint in hoses, spray guns or spray equipment. Flush all equipment thoroughly with International GTA220/GTA822. 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 GTA220/GTA822. 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.
Intergard 7020 achieves ideal performance when applied over blast-cleaned steel.
Intergard 7020 can cure at -5 °C, but needs to cure above 5 °C for a period to obtain full mechanical properties. Consult International Paint.
After application, if immersed in sea water and cured below 10 °C, the coating surface may fade. This does not affect product performance.
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.
