Surface Preparation
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.
Strict adherence to all cleanliness standards is essential for application of water based coatings.
Intercryl 700 should always be applied over a recommended anti-corrosive coating scheme. The primer surface should be dry and free from all contamination and Intercryl 700 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. Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6, Abrasive Blasting, or SSPC-SP11, Power Tool Cleaning) and patch primed prior to the application of Intercryl 700.
Application
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 |
Airless Spray | Recommended | Tip Range 0.38-0.53 mm (15-21 thou) | Total output fluid pressure at spray tip not less than 141 kg/cm² (2005 p.s.i.) |
Air Spray (Pressure Pot) | Recommended | Gun - DeVilbiss MBC or JGA |
| Air Cap - 704 or 765 |
| Fluid Tip - E |
Brush | Suitable - small areas only | Typically 30-50 microns (1.2-2.0 mils) can be achieved |
Roller | Suitable - small areas only | Typically 30-50 microns (1.2-2.0 mils) can be achieved |
Thinner | Clean Water or International GTA991 | Do not thin more than allowed by local environmental legislation |
Cleaner | Clean Water or International GTA991 |
Work Stoppages | Thoroughly flush all equipment with International GTA991. 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 clean water followed by International GTA991. It is good working practice to periodically flush out spray equipment during the course of the working day. Frequency should depend upon amount sprayed, temperature and elapsed time, including any delays. All surplus material and empty containers should be disposed of in accordance with appropriate regional regulations/legislation. |
Product Characteristics
Apply by air or airless spray. Thoroughly flush equipment with International GTA991 thinner, or alcohol, followed by water prior to use. To obtain maximum edge protection and film build, airless or air spray application is recommended. Application by other methods, e.g. brush or roller, may require more than one coat.
Application by other methods, e.g. brush or roller, may require more than one coat and should only be used for small areas or touch-up work.
With all water based coatings careful control of application conditions is required to ensure good long term performance.
The following basic parameters must be adhered to:
- Intercryl 700 must be protected from freezing at all times during storage.
- The minimum steel temperature for application must be above 50°F (10°C), and be at least 5°F (3° C) above dew point.
- The relative humidity should be lower than 70% otherwise drying and overcoating times will be severely extended.
- Good airflow is essential around the object being painted [minimum air speed 0.1m/sec (4 inches/sec)].
- Minor areas which are difficult to ventilate should be brush applied to prevent over-application.
- Application below the minimum film forming temperature (M.F.F.T.) of the coating and/or poor ventilation will result in poor film coalescence and a powdery cracked film which will require removal and re-application.
- Level of sheen and surface finish are dependent on application method. Avoid using a mixture of application methods whenever possible.
- For brush and roller application, and in some colours, two coats of Intercryl 700 may be required to give uniform coverage.
- Intercryl 700 must be fully hardened before exposing to ponding water otherwise adhesion loss can occur.
Although Intercryl 700 is slightly thermoplastic above 50°C (120°F) the polymer system is stable to continuous temperatures of 150°C (300°F) with intermittent temperatures of 200°C (390°F).
It is a common feature of water based paints that some colours may appear different in the can compared to the final colour applied.
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 Compatiability
This product is primarily designed for use as a finish over water based priming systems such as:
- InterH2O 280
