When used as part of an approved scheme, this product holds the following certificates: • Fire resistance — in accordance with the provisions of the Marine Equipment Directive • Fire resistance — compliant with low flame spread requirements (Exova Warringtonfire) • Fire resistance — 'Smoke and Toxicity' (Exova Warringtonfire) • Food contact — carriage of grain (NOHH). 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.
Major refurbishment: abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007). If oxidation has occurred between blasting and application of Intergard 7600, 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.
Or 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 underwater hulls, topsides or above-water areas.
Or the International Paint wet blasting standard SB2, with flash rust to a standard not lower than SB2M. Wet blasting is recommended only for underwater hulls, topsides and above-water areas.
For maintenance/in-service upkeep, consult International Paint.
Precautions: For marine environments in North America, the following surface preparation standards may be used: SSPC-SP10 instead of Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) SSPC-SP6 instead of Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) SSPC-SP11 instead 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.
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 tip size 0.66–0.79 mm (26–31 thou); total fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 211 kg/cm² (3000 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.
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.

Before recoating, Intergard 7600 coatings shall be cleaned where necessary with high-pressure fresh water and/or solvent to ensure removal of all accumulated surface contamination.
Intergard 7600 may be applied to substrates at temperatures as low as -5 °C, but recoating at low temperatures shall be considered, as other coatings in the system may require higher temperatures to achieve full cure.
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.
