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.
Intersleek 737 should always be applied over the recommended primer. The primer surface should be dry and free of any contaminants, and Intersleek 737 must be applied within the specified overcoating interval (see the relevant product data sheet).
Damaged areas etc. shall be treated to the specified standard (e.g. Sa 2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007)), and primed before applying Intersleek 737.
For detailed application procedures, consult International Paint.
The coating is supplied in three containers as one unit. Always mix the entire unit in the supplied ratio.
(1) Stir Component A with a power mixer.
(2) Mix all of Component A with Component B and stir thoroughly with a power mixer.
(3) Add all of Component C and stir thoroughly with a power mixer.
Once a unit of paint is mixed, it shall be used within the specified pot life.
Not recommended. Only in special cases, use International GTA007. Do not thin beyond the limits of local environmental regulations.
Recommended nozzle size 0.38–0.53 mm (15–21 thou); total output fluid pressure at the nozzle not less than 211 kg/cm² (3000 psi)
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.
Please consult INTERNATIONAL.
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.

The minimum acceptable substrate temperature for application is 0 °C. A minimum relative humidity of 30% is required to ensure proper curing. Below 30% relative humidity, longer curing times are required.
Take care to avoid overspray on other coated areas.
Measures shall be taken to prevent silicone contamination of adjacent areas.
Before use or before using other coatings, all equipment must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent contamination. Liquid cleaning agents for Intersleek 737 must not contaminate other paints.
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.
