When used as part of an approved system, the product holds the following certificates: fire resistance – compliance with low flame spread requirements (Exova Warringtonfire); fire resistance – "Smoke and Toxicity" (Exova Warringtonfire); food contact – carriage of grain (NOHH). Approval by external bodies may depend on the formulation and/or the manufacturing plant. Consult the local International Paint representative for details.
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.
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.
Not recommended.
Recommended nozzle tip size 0.38–0.58 mm (15–23 thou); total fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 246 kg/cm² (3500 psi). The temperature of the mixed paint shall be 20–25 °C for optimum sprayability.
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.
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.

Drying time and recoat interval may vary with various site factors, such as tank geometry and ventilation rate. Intergard9700LT can be applied to substrates at temperatures as low as -5°C, but recoating at low temperature shall be considered, since other coats in the system may require a higher temperature to reach full cure.
For the minimum curing time before washing coated tanks, refer to the detailed coating application procedure.
Overcoating data are for guidance only and depend on local climatic and environmental conditions. For specific advice, consult the local International Paint representative. Apply in good weather. The temperature of the surface to be coated shall be at least 3 °C above the dew point. Unless otherwise instructed, for optimum application performance, bring the paint temperature to 20–25 °C before mixing and application. Unmixed paint (in tightly closed containers) shall be stored as specified in the 'Storage' section of this data sheet. The technical and application data herein are intended as general guidance for establishing a coating procedure. Test performance results are obtained under controlled laboratory conditions; International Paint does not claim that the published test results, or any other tests, accurately represent the results obtained in all site environments. Because application, environmental and design parameters vary greatly, care shall be taken in coating selection, performance verification and use.
