SURFACE The performance of this product will depend upon the degree of surface preparation. The surface
PREPARATION 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.
Accumulated dirt and soluble salts must be removed. Dry bristle brushing will normally be
adequate for accumulated dirt. Soluble salts should be removed by fresh water washing.
Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process should be ground, filled, or treated in the
appropriate manner.
Interprime 198 is suitable for application to blast cleaned surfaces which were initially to the above
standard but have been allowed to deteriorate under good shop conditions for up to 7-10 days. The
surface may deteriorate to Sa2 standard but must be free from loose powdery deposits.
The product is designed for application to surfaces prepared to St2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-
SP2. When using power tools care should be taken to avoid surface polishing. The product may
also be applied to surfaces which have been brush blasted to Sa1 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-
SP7. On poor surfaces brush application will assist performance.
Interprime 198 is suitable for overlap onto most aged coating systems. Loose or flaking coatings
should be removed back to a firm edge. Glossy epoxies and polyurethanes may require abrasion.
APPLICATION Mixing This material is a one component coating and should always be mixed
thoroughly with a power agitator before application.
Mix Ratio Not applicable
Work Stoppages Thoroughly flush all equipment with International GTA007. All unused
material should be stored in tightly closed containers. Partially filled
containers may show surface skinning and/or a viscosity increase of the
material after storage. Material should be filtered prior to use.
Clean Up Clean all equipment immediately after use with International GTA007. 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.

PRODUCT Anti-corrosive performance on hand prepared steel is related directly to both the degree of surface
CHARACTERISTICS preparation and the dry film thickness of the system applied.
Minimum overcoating intervals are shorter when overcoating with Interprime 198. Minimum
overcoating time for epoxy and polurethane topcoats is 16 hours at 25°C (77°F). Further
information is available from International Protective Coatings.
When overcoating with epoxies or polyurethanes it will be necessary to adhere to the specification
dry film thickness to ensure that adequate drying times are allowed, and that the Interprime 198 is
not over-applied.
This product is not intended for use in aggressive, corrosive environments, or on heavily pitted or
contaminated steel.
Interprime 198 is not suitable for use as a barrier coat for upgrading old chlorinated rubber and vinyl
systems.
When used in a marine environment the schemes and overcoating intervals utilised may differ.
Coating systems incorporating Interprime 198 are not suitable for immersion service.
Note: VOC values are typical and are provided for guidance purpose only. These may be subject
to variation depending on factors such as differences in colour and normal manufacturing
tolerances.
SYSTEMS Interprime 198 is normally applied to either blasted or hand or power tool cleaned steel. However, it
