When used as part of an approved scheme, this coating has the following approvals: • Welding quality – approval of prefabrication primer (LR) • Welding quality – shop primer for corrosion protection of steel plates and structures (DNV) • Fire resistance – compliance with low flame spread requirements (Exova Warringtonfire) • Fire resistance – "Smoke and Toxicity" (Exova Warringtonfire) • Fire resistance – compliance with the provisions of the "Marine Equipment Directive". For details, consult the local International (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.
The shop primer for newbuildings shall be applied with automatic blast/spray equipment.
Abrasive blast at least to Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007).
For specific recommendations on recommended abrasives and surface roughness, consult the International (International Paint) representative.
Apply Interplate Zero before oxidation occurs. If oxidation has indeed occurred, the entire oxidized area shall be re-blasted to the standard specified above.
Ensure the area is clean and dry before applying Interplate Zero.
For specific advice, consult your local International Paint representative.
Note: for the marine environment in North America, the following surface preparation standard may be used: SSPC-SP10 in place of Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007)
The paint is supplied in two containers as one kit. Always mix the complete kit in the supplied proportions. Stir the base (Component A) with a power mixer and, while stirring continuously, add the powder (Component B) slowly. If the product is supplied in 17.8 L units, it is necessary to transfer Component A to a suitable separate container before adding Component B. Mix for at least 5 min and filter through a 30–60 mesh screen before use. Keep stirring during use.
Always add the powder to the base.
Not recommended. Consult the International (International Paint) representative.
Recommended nozzle tip size 0.38–0.58 mm (15–23 thou); total fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 60–100 kg/cm² (850–1420 psi)
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.
Potable water
Do not leave paint residues in hoses, spray guns or spray equipment. Thoroughly flush all equipment with potable water. Once a kit of paint has been mixed, it shall not be resealed; if application is interrupted for an extended period, remixing the components before resuming application is recommended to ensure the mixed paint has not exceeded its pot life.
All equipment shall be cleaned with water immediately after use. Spray equipment requires flushing with water. Periodic flushing of spray equipment during the working day is good working practice. The frequency of cleaning depends on factors such as the quantity sprayed, temperature and duration of use (including idle time). Monitor the condition of the paint closely. All surplus paint and empty containers shall be disposed of in accordance with applicable local regulations/laws.
Hot work: welding, flame cutting or grinding flush on metal coated with this product produces dust and fumes; use suitable personal protective equipment and local exhaust ventilation. In North America, follow 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 depends on the substrate temperature and ventilation.
If the relative humidity is below 50%, curing will be retarded.
When applying Interplate Zero, manual spraying is not recommended.
Higher dry film thickness may affect fabrication performance (welding and cutting).
Shop primer is not recommended as a repair primer after fabrication.
Recoat data are for guidance only and depend on local climatic and environmental conditions. For specific advice, consult your local International Paint representative.
The surface temperature 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 21–27 °C before mixing and application. Unmixed paint (in tightly closed containers) shall be stored as specified in the 'Storage' section of this data sheet.
