SYSTEMS AND Intergard 740 should only be applied over epoxy anticorrosive primers. The primer to be used will depend upon
COMPATIBILITY vessel area and application location. Typical primers include:

Interbond 201
Intergard 269 (as a tiecoat over Interzinc 22 on external decks)
Intergard 400
Intergard 264
Intershield 300
Intershield 803
Intertuf 262
Intertuf 362

Consult your International Paint representative for the system best suited for the surfaces to be protected.

SURFACE PREPARATIONS Use in accordance with the standard Worldwide Marine Specifications.
All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination.
High pressure fresh water wash or fresh water wash, as appropriate, and remove all oil or grease, soluble
contaminants and other foreign matter in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.
NEWBUILDING/MAJOR REFURBISHMENT
Intergard 740 should always be applied over a recommended primer coating scheme. The primer surface should be
dry and free from all contamination, and Intergard 740 must be applied within the overcoating intervals specified
(consult the relevant product data sheet).Areas of breakdown, damage etc., should be prepared to the specified
standard (e.g. Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) and primed prior to the application of Intergard 740

REPAIR/OBM
Intergard 740 should always be applied over a recommended primer coating scheme. The primer surface should be
dry and free from all contamination, and Intergard 740 must be applied within the overcoating intervals specified
(consult the relevant product data sheet).Areas of breakdown, damage etc., should be prepared to the specified
standard (e.g. Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) and primed prior to the application of Intergard 740
Intergard 740 may be applied directly over aged Intergard 740 following thorough fresh water washing and
degreasing provided the coating to be overcoated is in an intact and tightly adherent condition. Loose or flaking
coatings should be removed back to a firm edge and Intergard 740 or an appropriate primer should be used to
repair the area before application of the full coat.

Consult your International Paint representative for specific recommendations.

NOTE
For use in Marine situations in North America, the following surface preparation standards can be used:
SSPC-SP10 in place of Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007)

APPLICATION

Mixing Material is supplied in 2 containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the proportions supplied.
(1) Agitate Base (Part A) with a power agitator.
(2) Combine entire contents of Curing Agent (Part B) with Base (Part A) and mix thoroughly with power agitator.

Thinner International GTA220. Thinning is not normally required. Consult the local representative for advice during
application in extreme conditions. Do not thin more than allowed by local environmental legislation.
Airless Spray Recommended
Tip Range 0.38-0.53 mm (15-21 thou)
Total output fluid pressure at spray tip not less than 176 kg/cm (2500 p.s.i.)
Conventional Spray Use suitable proprietary equipment. Thinning may be required.
Brush Application by brush is recommended for small areas only. Multiple coats may be required to achieve specified film
thickness.
Roller Application by roller is recommended for small areas only. Multiple coats may be required to achieve specified film
thickness.
Cleaner International GTA220/GTA822
Work Stoppages and Cleanup Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Thoroughly flush all equipment with
International GTA220/GTA822. Once units of paint have been mixed they should not be resealed and it is advised
that after prolonged stoppages work recommences with freshly mixed units.
Clean all equipment immediately after use with International GTA220/GTA822. It is good working practice to
periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the working day. Frequency of cleaning will depend
upon amount sprayed, temperature and elapsed time, including any delays. Do not exceed pot life limitations.
All surplus materials and empty containers should be disposed of in accordance with appropriate regional
regulations/legislation.

Welding In the event welding or flame cutting is performed on metal coated with this product, dust and fumes will be
emitted which will require the use of appropriate personal protective equipment and adequate local exhaust
ventilation. In North America do so in accordance with instruction in ANSI/ASC Z49.1 "Safety in Welding and
Cutting."

SAFETY All work involving the application and use of this product should be performed in compliance with all
relevant national Health, Safety & Environmental standards and regulations.

Prior to use, obtain, consult and follow the Material Safety Data Sheet for this product concerning health
and safety information. Read and follow all precautionary notices on the Material Safety Data Sheet and
container labels. If you do not fully understand these warnings and instructions or if you can not strictly
comply with them, do not use this product. Proper ventilation and protective measures must be provided
during application and drying to keep solvent vapour concentrations within safe limits and to protect
against toxic or oxygen deficient hazards. Take precautions to avoid skin and eye contact (ie. gloves,
goggles, face masks, barrier creams etc.) Actual safety measures are dependant on application methods
and work environment.

LIMITATIONS This product will not cure adequately below 5C. For maximum performance ambient curing temperatures should be
above 10C.
In common with all epoxy based coatings Intergard 740 will exhibit chalking of the film on UV exposure.
Overcoating information is given for guidance only and is subject to regional variation depending upon local climate
and environmental conditions. Consult your local International Paint representative for specific recommendations.
Apply in good weather. Temperature of the surface to be coated must be at least 3C above the dew point. For
optimum application properties bring the material to 21-27C, unless specifically instructed otherwise, prior to mixing
and application. Unmixed material (in closed containers) should be maintained in protected storage in accordance
with information given in the STORAGE Section of this data sheet. Technical and application data herein is for the
purpose of establishing a general guideline of the coating application procedures. Test performance results were
obtained in a controlled laboratory environment and International Paint makes no claim that the exhibited published
test results, or any other tests, accurately represent results found in all field environments. As application,
environmental and design factors can vary significantly, due care should be exercised in the selection, verification of
performance and use of the coating.
