Interline® 850
Epoxy Phenolic
SURFACE All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to paint application all surfaces
PREPARATION should be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000.
Where necessary, remove weld spatter and smooth weld seams and sharp edges.
Oil or grease should be removed in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.
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 50-75 microns (2-3 mils) is recommended.
Interline 850 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.
Where local VOC regulations allow, surfaces may be primed with Interline 850 (thinned 10-15% with GTA220) to
40 microns (1.5 mils) dry film thickness before oxidation occurs. Alternatively, the blast standard can be
maintained by use of dehumidification.
Areas of breakdown, damage, weld seams etc., should be prepared to the specified standard (e.g. Sa2½ (ISO
8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10 or power tool cleaned to Pt3 (JSRA SPSS:1984) or SSPC-SP11).
Concrete Substrates
Interline 850 is also suitable for application to concrete in certain conditions; please see Product Application
Guidelines for further information.
APPLICATION Mixing Interline 850 must be applied in accordance with the detailed International Protective
Coatings Working Procedures for the application of Tank Linings.
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 10°C (50°F) 15°C (59°F) 25°C (77°F) 40°C (104°F)
3 hours 2 hours 1 hour 30 minutes
Airless Spray Recommended Tip Range 0.53-0.68 mm (21-27 thou)
Total output fluid pressure at spray tip not less than 176
kg/cm² (2503 p.s.i.)
Air Spray Recommended Gun DeVilbiss MBC or JGA
(Pressure Pot) Air Cap 704 or 765
Fluid Tip E
Brush Recommended - Small Typically 50-75 microns (2.0-3.0 mils) can be achieved
areas only
Roller Recommended - Small Typically 50-75 microns (2.0-3.0 mils) can be achieved
areas only
Thinner International GTA220 Thinning is not normally required. Consult the local
(or International GTA415 for representative for advice during application in extreme
NSF-approved schemes) conditions. Do not thin more than allowed by local
environmental legislation.
Cleaner International GTA853
or International GTA415
Work Stoppages Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Thoroughly flush
all equipment with International GTA853. 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 GTA853. 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.

Interline® 850
Epoxy Phenolic
PRODUCT The detailed Interline 850 Application Guidelines should be consulted prior to use.
CHARACTERISTICS Interline 850 is typically specified as a two coat system at 125 microns (5 mils) per coat to give a total coating system
dry film thickness of 250 microns (10 mils). Exact specification for total dry film thickness will be dependent upon
service end use requirements. Consult International Protective Coatings for specific advice regarding tank lining
applications.
When used as a primer coat applied at 40 microns (1.5 mils) dry film thickness Interline 850 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. As an alternative, a full coat may be applied, provided the overcoating intervals are
adhered to and all surfaces are correctly cleaned and prepared prior to overcoating with Interline 850.
For potable water service, consult International Protective Coatings with regards to permissible thinning levels.
At temperatures below 25°C (77°F), it is recommended that Interline 850 is allowed a 15 minute induction period after
mixing, prior to commencing application.
Maximum film build in one coat is best attained by airless spray. When applying by methods other than airless spray,
the required film build is unlikely to be achieved. Application by air spray may require a multiple cross spray pattern to
attain optimum film build. The use of other methods, e.g. brush or roller, may require more than one coat and are
suggested only for small areas and initial stripe coating.
Surface temperature must always be a minimum of 3°C (5°F) above dew point.
For general use, it is not recomended to apply Interline 850 at steel temperatures below 10°C (50°F). However for
potable water storage only, Interline 850 may be applied at steel temperatures of 5°C (41°F) and above. Consult
International Protective Coatings for specific cure schedules.
When applying Interline 850 in confined spaces ensure adequate ventilation.
For multi-coat applications, exposure to low temperatures during or immediately after application may result in
incomplete cure and surface contamination that could jeopardise subsequent intercoat adhesion.
This product severely yellows when exposed to sunlight and should not be used on tank exteriors where colour stability
is important.
After the last coat has cured hard, the coating system dry film thickness should be measured using a suitable non-
destructive magnetic gauge to verify the average total applied system thickness. The coating system should be free of
all pinholes or other holidays. The cured film should be essentially free of runs, sags, drips, inclusions or other defects.
All deficiencies and defects should be corrected. The repaired areas shall be retested and allowed to cure as specified
before placing the finished lining into service. Consult International Protective Coatings Interline 850 Application
Guidelines for proper repair procedures.
Return to Service
The following minimum cure times are recommended for Interline 850
Temperature Schedule 1 Schedule 2
10°C (50°F) 7 days 14 days
15°C (59°F) 4 days 10 days
25°C (77°F) 2 days 6 days
35°C (95°F) 36 hours 4 days
40°C (104°F) 24 hours 3 days
Schedule 1 refers to the minimum cure time at the specified substrate temperature prior to conducting a tank hydrotest
or immersion in purely aliphatic petroleum products (e.g diesel or kerosene, however not gasoline or gasoline/alcohol
blends).
Schedule 2 refers to the minimum cure time at the specified substrate temperature prior to immersion in all other
chemicals as per the chemical resistance list.
These cure schedules do not take into consideration specific curing requirements for third party approvals, such as for
potable water use.
For storage of cargoes above ambient temperatures, consult International Protective Coatings for further details.
This material is recommended for the storage of aviation fuel. It is also suitable for storage of unleaded gasoline.
Interline 850 is not suitable for exposure to acidic conditions.
This product has the following specification approvals:
• DEF STAN 80-97 Annexe G for the lining of bulk aviation fuel tanks.
• Spanish Norma INTA 164402-A.
• Norwegian National Institute of Public Health for Use in Potable Water Tanks on Offshore Installations.
• Certified to AS/NZS 4020:2005 for tanks greater than 42,000 mm2/litre. Minimum capacity 6 litres, minimum internal
pipe diameter 10 cm.
Consult International Protective Coatings for specific approved specifications.
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.
SYSTEMS Generally, where VOC regulations allow, Interline 850 can be used as a self-priming system. Interline 982 can also be
used in certain situations. Consult International Protective Coatings for specific recommendations.
