International Interzone 485

International Interzone 485 is an ultra high build, high volume solids, two component catalysed epoxy, capable of being applied up to 3000 microns (120 mils) dry film thickness, and providing excellent impact resistance, abrasion resistance and adhesion properties.

Best Uses

International Interzone 485 is formulated as a coating for the protection of steelwork in severe environments where high abrasion and corrosion resistance are required. Ideal for use in areas such as splashzone on offshore oil and gas platforms, wharf piles, ship loading facilities, jetties, decks, bridges, chemical plants, pulp and paper mills, and water treatment plants.

This industrial deck paint is particularly suitable when used in conjunction with appropriate aggregate to provide a tough, durable non-slip deck system. Interzone 485 is ideally suited for use on heliports, work areas and walkways on offshore structures.

Interzone 485 also provides excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment, gives good compatibility with both sacrificial anode and impressed current systems. Interzone 485 is particularly suitable for the long term protection of sub-sea structures, or as a shop or field applied coating for hot, cathodically protected oil or gas pipelines.

It is also ideal as a tank lining for abrasive slurry e.g. CIL/CIP tanks in the gold mining industry.

Suitable for Application using standard airless spray equipment, economical to apply. Provides excellent resistance to alkalis, chemicals and petroleum products.

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. For immersion service, Interzone 485 must be applied to surfaces blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10. However, for atmospheric exposure Interzone 485 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. Surface profile must be a minimum of 50 microns (2 mils). Interzone 485 can be applied over International Interline 982. The primer surface should be dry and free from all
contamination and Interzone 485 must be applied within the overcoating intervals specified (consult
the relevant product datasheet).

Apply via airless spray.
