Coating hazards GB 30981.2-S-Pb≤1000-NC; complies with GB 30981.2-2025
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.
Before application of Intersleek 7180, the saponified layer of the existing antifouling coating must be removed. Removal with high-pressure fresh water at more than 3,500 psi (220 bar) and a fan jet is recommended. If the saponified layer cannot be completely removed at pressures above 3,500 psi (220 bar), pressures of up to 5,000 psi (314 bar) may be required.
Intersleek 7180 should always be applied over approved antifouling coatings and/or anticorrosive systems. Damaged areas should be prepared to the specified standard (e.g. Sa2.5 (ISO8501-1:2007)) and repaired with Intershield 300 primer. An Intersleek 7180 tiecoat system should then be applied over all surfaces.
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 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.
Use International GTA220. Do not thin beyond the range permitted by local environmental regulations.
Recommended nozzle size 0.46–0.66 mm (18–26 thou); total output fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 176 kg/cm² (2500 psi)
Brush application is recommended for small areas only.
Roller application is recommended for small areas only.
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.

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 when air and surface temperatures are above 10°C. Intersleek 7180 cannot be used at temperatures below 10°C. The temperature of the surface to be coated must be at least 3°C above the dew point. Unless otherwise specified, raise the paint temperature to 21–27°C before mixing and application to achieve optimum application performance. Unmixed paint (in tightly closed containers) should be stored protectively as specified in the "Storage" section of this product Data Sheet. The technical and application data mentioned here are intended to provide general guidelines for a paint application procedure. Test performance results come from a controlled laboratory environment, and International Paint does not claim that the published test results, or any other tests, precisely represent results obtained in all field environments. Because application, environmental and design factors vary widely, care must be taken in coating selection, performance verification or use.
