International Intercure 202
International Intercure 202 is a two component epoxy zinc phosphate / micaceous iron oxide primer. Provides rapid cure and overcoating even under low temperature conditions.
Best Uses
International Intercure 202 is a high solids, low VOC product formulated on proprietary polymer technology. Suitable as a primer for steelwork intended for use in a wide range of aggressive environments, including offshore, chemical and petrochemical plants, industrial buildings, pulp and paper mills, power plants and bridges.
International Intercure 202 is suitable for overcoating within 3 hours in most climatic conditions hence speeding up production and throughput in fabrication shops. Can also be used on site as a rapid curing, maintenance coating.
Application
All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to paint application all surfaces should be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000. Oil or grease should be removed in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.
Abrasive Grit Blast Cleaning
Abrasive grit blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. If oxidation has occurred between blasting and application of Intercure 202, the surface should be reblasted to the specified visual standard.
Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate
manner. A sharp, angular surface profile of 50-75 microns (2-3 mils) is recommended.
Intercure 202 is suitable for application to grit blast cleaned surfaces which were initially to the above standard but have been allowed to deteriorate under good shop conditions for up to 7-10 days. The surface may deteriorate to Sa2 standard but must be free from loose powdery deposits. Intercure 202 may be applied to surfaces prepared to International Paint Hydroblasting Standard HB2.5 which have flash rusted to no worse than HB2.5L.
Hand or Power Tool Preparation
Hand or power tool clean to a minimum St3 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP2. Note, all scale must be removed and areas which cannot be prepared adequately by chipping or needle gun should be spot blasted to a minimum standard of Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. Typically this would
apply to C or D grade rusting in this standard.
Shop Primed Steel
Weld seams and damaged areas should be blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. If the shop primer shows extensive or widely scattered breakdown overall sweep blasting may be necessary.
Apply via airless spray. Use a brush or roller for small hard to reach areas.
Compatibility
Intercure 202 will normally be applied to suitably prepared steel, e.g. blast cleaned. However, if necessary, application over prefabrication blast primers can be performed. Consult our technical team for further details.
