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.

Where necessary, remove weld spatter and smooth weld seams and sharp edges.

Steel

This product must only be applied to surfaces prepared by abrasive blast cleaning to Sa2½ (ISO
8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10. A sharp angular surface profile of 75-100 microns (3-4 mils) is
recommended. Interline 9670 must be applied before oxidation of the steel occurs. If oxidation
does occur the entire oxidised area should be reblasted to the standard specified above. Surface
defects revealed by the blast cleaning process should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate
manner.

Surfaces may be primed with Interline 982 to 15-25 microns (0.6-1.0 mils) dry film thickness.
Interline 9670 may also be applied over Intergard 269, applied at a maximum dry film thickness of
40 microns (1.6 mils), with a maximum overcoating interval of 30 days. For extended overcoating
intervals, please contact International Protective Coatings. Alternatively, the blast standard can be
maintained by use of dehumidification. Interline 982 can hold a blast for up to 28 days in the semi-
protected environment of a tank interior. If moisture is present on the surface, oxidation will occur
and reblasting will be required.

Caulk Application

Prior to the application of the laminate all weld seams, lap joints, plate edges should be caulked;
alternatively, Interline 9670 filled with a suitable aggregate may be used. For further advice, please
consult your local representative.
APPLICATION Mixing The detailed Interline 9670 Application Guidelines should be consulted
prior to use.

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) Agitate Curing Agent (Part B) with a power agitator.
(3) Combine entire contents of Curing Agent (Part B) with Base
(Part A) and mix thoroughly with power agitator.
Mix Ratio 2part(s):1part(s)by volume
Working Pot Life 10°C (50°F) 15°C (59°F) 25°C (77°F) 40°C (104°F)
60 minutes 50 minutes 40 minutes 20 minutes

Airless Spray Recommended Tip Range 0.53-0.66 mm (21-26 thou)

Total output fluid pressure at spray tip not less
than 176 kg/cm² (2503 p.s.i.)

Air Spray Not recommended

(Pressure Pot)

Brush Suitable - Small touch-

up areas only
Roller Recommended
Thinner DO NOT THIN
Cleaner International GTA822
Work Stoppages Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment.
Thoroughly flush all equipment with International GTA822. 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 GTA822. It is
good working practice to periodically clean equipment during the course of
the working day. Frequency of cleaning will depend upon amount used,
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 Always consult the Interline 9670 Application Guidelines prior to use.
CHARACTERISTICS
This product is recommended for the storage of crude oil and white oil products. Material is not
suitable for storage of refined materials such as unleaded gasoline. It is also not suitable for the
storage of aqueous media at temperatures in excess of 40°C (104°F).

Apply in good climatic conditions. The temperature of the surface to be coated must be at least 3°C
(5°F) above the dew point. Do not apply at steel temperatures below 10°C (50°F) and the relative
humidity should not exceed 80% during application and curing.

Heavily pitted areas should be stripe coated by brush, to ensure good "wetting" of the surface.

For hand lay application, Interline 9670 should be mixed immediately before use and should be
limited to a quantity that can be used within the working pot life. Apply a coat of Interline 9670 at
600 - 800 microns (24 -32 mils) wet film thickness, by spray or roller to the primed / caulked
surface. Lay International glass fibre mat into the resin, and use a ribbed roller to force the glass
mat into the wet resin. Apply additional resin and roll until the fibre glass mat is completely
saturated and free of entrapped air. Once the laminate has cured, apply an unreinforced gel coat of
Interline 9670 or Interline 925 at 200 - 300 microns (8 - 12 mils) wet film thickness by spray or roller.

Maximum resistance is not attainable until the film has completely cured. Cure is a function of
temperature humidity and film thickness. Normally films at 1500 microns (60 mils) dry film thickness
will exhibit full and complete cure for optimal chemical resistance in 7-10 days at 25°C (77°F).
Curing times are proportionately shorter at elevated temperatures and longer at lower
temperatures.

The curing times will vary depending upon dry film thickness and conditions that exist during
application and throughout curing periods.

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.

Low molecular weight reactive additives, which will form part of the film during normal ambient cure
conditions, will also affect VOC values determined using EPA Method 24.
