International Intergard 269

International Intergard 269 is a quick drying two component epoxy primer for immersed or exposed conditions within a system.

Best Uses

International Intergard 269 is formulated as a blast holding primer suitable for use in immersed and exposed conditions and overcoatable with a wide range of high performance systems. For use at both new construction and maintenance.

Intergard 269 is also suitable for use as a tie coat on zinc silicate to prevent zinc salt formation on weathering and pinholing of subsequent high build topcoats.

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.

Intergard 269 is suitable for use as a blast holding primer for steelwork intended for exposure in both immersed and atmospheric exposure conditions. Apply Intergard 269 at the recommended thickness as over-application will result in a glossy surface which may not be suitable for overcoating after ageing.

Abrasive Blast Cleaning

For immersion service, Intergard 269 must be applied to surfaces blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10. However, for atmospheric exposure Intergard 269 may be applied to surfaces prepared to a minimum of Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate manner.

Ultra High Pressure Hydroblasting / (non-immersed service only)
May be applied to surfaces prepared to Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6 which have flash rusted to no worse than Grade HB2M (refer to International Hydroblasting Standards). Further information is available from International Protective Coatings.

Tie Coat Applications (see Product Characteristics)
In the case of zinc primers, where necessary, remove weld spatter, smooth weld seams and sharp edges and blast clean welds and damaged primer to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. The shop primer or other primer surface should be dry and free of all contamination (oil, grease, salt etc) and overcoated with Intergard 269 within the overcoating intervals specified for the primer (consult the relevant product data sheet). Ensure that the zinc primer has fully cured and is clean, dry and free from zinc salts prior to overcoating.
