Intercryl® 853
Acrylic
SURFACE All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to paint
PREPARATION 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
Primed Surfaces
Intercryl 853 should always be applied over a recommended anti-corrosive coating scheme. The
primer surface should be dry and free from all contamination and Intercryl 853 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 853.
Concrete and Cement
Concrete should be cured for a minimum of 28 days prior to coating and cement should be cured
for a minimum of 14 days prior to coating. The moisture content of the concrete should be below
6%. All surfaces should be clean, dry and free from curing compounds, release agents, trowelling
compounds, surface hardeners, efflorescence, grease, oil, dirt, old coatings and loose or
disintegrating concrete. All poured and precast concrete must also be sweep blasted (preferred) or
acid etched to remove laitence.
Large cracks should be filled with the appropriate filler. When coating new tilt formed concrete an
epoxy sealer must be employed. When coating new cement thin the first coat up to 15% with fresh
clean water.
Galvanised Steel
Degrease to SSPC-SP1 and remove any white zinc corrosion products by hand abrasion cleaning.
Weathered galvanised steel should have areas of red rust wire brushed to remove loose rust and
spot primed with Interzinc 52 or Interplus 356 and degreased as above.
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 126 kg/cm² (1792 p.s.i.)
Air Spray Recommended Gun DeVilbiss MBC or JGA
(Pressure Pot) Air Cap 704 or 765
Fluid Tip E
Brush Suitable - small areas Typically 50-75 microns (2.0-3.0 mils) can be
only achieved
Roller Recommended Typically 50-75 microns (2.0-3.0 mils) can be
achieved
Thinner Clean Water
Cleaner 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 International GTA991. 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.
All surplus material and empty containers should be disposed of in
accordance with appropriate regional regulations/legislation.

PRODUCT Apply by air or airless spray. Thoroughly flush equipment with International GTA991 thinner, or
CHARACTERISTICS 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.
As with all water borne coatings careful control of application conditions is required to ensure good
performance.
The following basic parameters must be adhered to:
Intercryl 853 must be protected from freezing at all times during storage.
The minimum steel temperature for application must be above 10°C (50°F), and be at least 3°C (5°
F) 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 853 may be required to
give uniform coverage.
Intercryl 853 must be fully hardened before exposing to ponding water otherwise adhesion loss can
occur.
Although Intercryl 853 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).
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.
