CERTIFICATION When used as part of an approved scheme, this product has the following certification:

• Food Contact - Carriage of Grain (NOHH)

• Tank Coatings - B1 Classification of Ballast Tank Coatings (DNV/Marintek tested)
• Tank Coatings - NORSOK M-501, Rev 3, system 7 (Marintek)
• Fire Resistance - Smoke & Toxicity (Exova Warringtonfire)
• Fire Resistance - Surface Spread of Flame (Exova Warringtonfire)
• Fire Resistance - Marine Equipment Directive compliant
• Potable Water - Carriage of Potable Water (TUV, Singapore) (BS6920:2000)

Potable Water Certification issued by external bodies is dependent upon formulation and/or manufacturing site.
Based on this, products supplied in different territories may not be approved to all of the standards listed above.

Consult your International Paint representative for details.

SYSTEMS AND Consult your International Paint representative for the system best suited for the surfaces to be protected.
COMPATIBILITY When using in cargo holds, consult the Intershield 300 Cargo Hold Application Procedures.

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
Where necessary, remove weld spatter and smooth weld seams and sharp edges.
Weld seams and areas of shop primer damage or breakdown should be blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or
power tooled to Pt3 (JSRA SPSS:1984).
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). In some
cases sweep blasting to a defined International Paint standard (eg AS2 or AS3) may be acceptable. Consult your
International Paint representative for specific recommendations.

MAJOR REFURBISHMENT
Abrasive blast clean to minimum Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or International Paint Hydroblasting Standard HB2M. If
oxidation has occured between blasting and application of Intershield 300, the surface should be reblasted to the
specified visual standard. Hydroblasting is only recommended for underwater hull, above water and topside areas.
Intershield 300 may be applied to surfaces prepared to International Paint Slurry Blasting Standard SB2 where flash
rust is no worse than SB2M. Slurry blasting is only recommended for underwater hull, above water and topside
areas.
Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process, should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate
manner.

REPAIR
Consult International Paint.

OTHER
For tank coating and application of Intersleek systems, consult International Paint for the detailed coating procedures
that should be followed.

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 Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007)
SSPC-SP6 in place of Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007)
SSPC-SP11 in place of Pt3 (JSRA SPSS:1984)

APPLICATION

Mixing Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the proportions supplied. Once the
unit has been mixed it must be used within the working pot life specified.
(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 Use 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 26-31 thou (0.66-0.79 mm)
Total output fluid pressure at spray tip not less than 3000 psi (211 kg/cm²)
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 will be required to achieve specified film
thickness.

Cleaner International GTA822/GTA220. Choice of cleaner maybe subject to local legislation. Please consult your local
representative for specific advice.
Work Stoppages and Cleanup Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Thoroughly flush all equipment with
International GTA822/GTA220. 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 GTA822/GTA220. 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 vapor 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 Intershield 300 should be high pressure fresh water washed and/or solvent washed prior to overcoating, where
necessary, to ensure removal of any surface contamination that has accumulated.
Suitable for use on tanker decks subject to Classification Society Regulations.
Intershield 300 may be applied at substrate temperatures down to 5°F. Before applications are made below 23°F
consult your local IP representative for further detail of application procedure.
When Intershield 300 is to be overcoated with Intersleek 737 or Intersleek 386 the following maximum pot lives must
be observed:
+32°F - 160 minutes
+59°F - 105 minutes
+77°F - 75 minutes
+95°F - 45 minutes

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 5°F above the dew point. For
optimum application properties bring the material to 70°F-81°F, 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
