International Intershield 300

International Intershield 300 is a two component, abrasion resistant pure epoxy coating pigmented with aluminium to give excellent long term anti-corrosive protection offshore or below water. Allows for rapid cure and overcoating even under low temperature conditions.

Best Uses

International Intershield 300 is a abrasion resistant coating that can reduce corrosion due to mechanical damage and provide barrier protection in aggressive environments. Ideally suited for use as a universal primer on offshore platforms and floating production and storage facilities on areas such as underwater hull, topsides, external superstructure, decks, cargo tanks and ballast tanks. Can be applied directly to mechanically prepared shop primer or suitably prepared bare steel.

Available in bronze and aluminium.

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 Cleaning
For immersion service, Intershield 300 must be applied to surfaces blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10. However, for atmospheric exposure Intershield 300 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. A surface profile of 50-75 microns (2-3 mils) is recommended.

Ultra High Pressure Hydroblasting / Abrasive Wet Blasting
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) or Grade SB2M (refer to International Slurry Blasting Standards).

Shop Primed Steel
Areas of breakdown, damage, weld seams etc., should be prepared to the specified standard (e.g. Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10 or power tool cleaned to Pt3 (JSRA SPSS:1984) or SSPC-SP11). Intact, approved shop primers must be clean, dry and free from soluble salts and any other surface contaminants. Unapproved shop primers will require complete removal by blast cleaning to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10. In some cases sweep blasting to a defined International Paint standard (eg AS2 or AS3) may be acceptable.
