Coating hazards GB 30981.2-S-Pb≤1000-NC; complies with GB 30981.2-2025
When used as part of an approved scheme, the coating holds the following certificates: • Fire resistance — complies with the Marine Equipment Directive • Fire resistance — complies with low flame-spread requirements (Exova Warringtonfire) • Fire resistance — smoke and toxicity (Exova Warringtonfire). For details, consult the local International Paint representative.
Interstores Alkyd should only be applied over the recommended anti-corrosive primer. The primer used depends on the vessel area, existing coating, coating condition and application location. Typical primers include: Interprime 198. For the coating scheme most suitable for the surface to be protected, consult the local International (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.
In-service maintenance Interstores Alkyd shall always be applied over the recommended primer. The primer surface shall be dry and free from any contaminants, and Interstores Alkyd must be applied within the specified recoat interval (refer to the relevant product data sheet). Areas with damage, defects and other conditions shall be prepared to the specified standard (for example: Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007)), and primed before application of Interstores Alkyd.
Interstores Alkyd may be applied directly to old Interstores Alkyd coatings that have been thoroughly washed with fresh water and degreased, provided that the coating to be overcoated is intact and firmly adherent. Loose or flaking coating should be removed to sound edges, and the area repaired with Interstores Alkyd or a suitable primer before application of the full coating.
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)
This coating is a single-component product; stir thoroughly with a power mixer before application.
International GTA004. 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. Multiple coats may be required to achieve the specified film thickness.
Flush all equipment thoroughly with International thinner. All unused paint must be stored in tightly closed containers. Partly filled containers may show skinning and/or increased viscosity after storage. Strain the paint before use.
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.

Interstores Alkyd is not suitable for immersed areas.
When Interstores Alkyd is applied by brush or roller, multiple coats are necessary to achieve the specified total system dry film thickness.
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.
