International Intercure 4500 is a low VOC, rapid cure, primer/finish, offering excellent anticorrosive protection and long term aesthetic durability. It replaces the need for alternative two or three coat systems.

Best Uses

Intercure 4500 is ideal for fabrication shops that are looking to reduce heating costs and improve productivity. It is also suitable for facilities that are located in colder climates.

Application

The recommended application method is either Airless Spray or Air Spray (pressure pot). Brush or roller can also be used on small touch up area's only.

Always ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to application of the paint, 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.

Steel Substrates
Abrasive blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. If oxidation has occurred between blasting and application of Intercure 4500, the surface should be re-blasted to the specified visual standard. Any surface defects that are  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. Areas of breakdown, damage etc., should be prepared to the specified standard (e.g. Sa2½ (ISO8501-1:2007), or SSPC SP6, abrasive blasting), prior to the application of Intercure 4500.
