INTERSPEED 6400

NEWBUILDING Dependent on yard procedures. Consult International Paint. When high pressure fresh water washing at pre-delivery drydockings at newbuilding, consult your local representative.

MAJOR REFURBISHMENT Interspeed 6400 should always be applied over a recommended primer coating scheme. The primer surface should be dry and free from all contamination. Interspeed 6400 must be applied within the overcoating intervals specified for the primer (consult the relevant primer data sheet). Areas of breakdown, damage etc., should be prepared to the specified standard e.g. Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007)) and primed prior to the application of Interspeed 6400.

REPAIR CDP (Controlled Depletion Polymer) antifoulings can build up a thick leached layer during service which must be removed prior to application of Interspeed 6400. To remove this leached layer, treat the entire area by close high pressure fresh water washing using a fan-jet lance held close to the surface (3,000 p.s.i., 211 kg/cm²) as soon as the vessel enters dock and before it dries out.

Consult International Paint for alternative methods of surface preparation. Repair corroded areas with the recommended primer coating scheme and apply Interspeed 6400 within the overcoating interval specified for the primer (consult the relevant primer data sheet). Ensure that the total area is clean and dry, then overcoat with Interspeed 6400.
