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.

Primed Surfaces

Interthane 1027 should always be applied over a recommended anti-corrosive coating scheme. The
primer surface should be dry and free from all contamination and Interthane 1027 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 Interthane 1027.

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.

Mix Ratio 4 part(s) : 1 part(s) by volume

Working Pot Life 15°C (59°F) 25°C (77°F) 40°C (104°F)
6 hours 2 hours 45 minutes

Airless Spray Recommended Tip Range 0.33-0.45 mm (13-18 thou)

Total output fluid pressure at spray tip not less
than 155 kg/cm² (2204 p.s.i.)
Air Spray Recommended Gun DeVilbiss MBC or JGA
(Pressure Pot) Air Cap 704 or 765
Fluid Tip E
Air Spray Suitable Use suitable proprietary equipment
(Conventional)
Brush Suitable Typically 30-40 microns (1.2-1.6 mils) can be
achieved
Roller Suitable Typically 30-40 microns (1.2-1.6 mils) can be
achieved
Thinner International GTA733 Do not thin more than allowed by local
environmental legislation
Cleaner International GTA127

Work Stoppages Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment.
Thoroughly flush all equipment with International GTA127. 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 Up Clean all equipment immediately after use with International GTA127. 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 materials and empty containers should be disposed of in

accordance with appropriate regional regulations/legislation.

PRODUCT Level of sheen and surface finish are dependent on application method. Avoid using a mixture of
CHARACTERISTICS application methods whenever possible. Best results in terms of gloss and appearance will always
be obtained by conventional air spray application.

When overcoating after weathering or ageing, ensure the coating is fully cleaned to remove all
surface contamination such as oil, grease, salt crystals and traffic fumes, before application of a
further coat of Interthane 1027.

This product must only be thinned using the recommended International thinners. The use of
alternative thinners, particularly those containing alcohols, can severely inhibit the curing
mechanism of the coating.

Do not apply at steel temperatures below 5°C (41°F).

When applying Interthane 1027 in confined spaces ensure adequate ventilation.

Condensation occurring during or immediately after application may result in a matt finish and an
inferior film.

This product is not recommended for use in immersion conditions. When severe chemical or
solvent splashing is likely to occur contact International Protective Coatings for information
regarding suitability.

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.
