International Intercure 99

International Intercure 99 is a low VOC, high solids, rapid cure primer / finish, offering excellent anti-corrosive protection and long term colour and gloss durability – a combination that cannot be achieved with alternative fast cure, single coat primer finishes.

Best Uses

Intercure 99 is intended for use as a single coat high performance finish for structural steel applications, a reduced number of coats aids in yard throughput and productivity. Rapid cure and early handling properties make it ideal for applications such as wind towers, transformers, mining equipment and pumps where productivity and drying space are of prime importance.

International Intercure 99 polyaspartic technology is applied as a single coat at 150-250 microns (6-10 mils) direct-to-metal using standard application equipment, reducing application time and labour costs compared to two coat applications in moderately corrosive environments (up to C3, ISO 12944-2). Intercure 99 may also be specified as a high build, durable intermediate/finish over approved anti-corrosive primers for more aggressive environments, i.e. ISO 12944 C4 and C5M.

Approved for use on Network Rail New Works Systems and for Maintenance.

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 Blast
Abrasive blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. If oxidation has occurred between blasting and application of Intercure 99, 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 surface profile of 50-75 microns (2-3 mils) is recommended.

Primed Surfaces
Intercure 99 may be applied over approved anti-corrosive primers in some circumstances; please consult our technical team for further advice.
