Interbond® 1202UPC
Universal Pipe Coating
SURFACE All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to paint application all
PREPARATION 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.
Abrasive Blast Cleaning
Abrasive blast clean to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10. If oxidation has occurred between
blasting and application of Interbond 1202UPC, the surface should be reblasted to the specified visual
standard. Surface defects revealed by the blast cleaning process should be ground, filled, or treated in
the appropriate manner. A surface profile of 50 microns (2 mils) is recommended.
Power Tool Cleaning (Small Areas Only)
For small areas of touch up and repair, Power Tool cleaning to SSPC SP11 is suitable . Optimum
performance will be achieved with a minimum surface profile of 50 microns (2 mils).
Austenitic Stainless Steel
Ensure surface is clean, dry and free from metal corrosion products prior to application. Abrasive blast
with nonmetallic and chloride free abrasive (e.g. aluminium oxide or garnet) to obtain anchor profile of
37.5 to 50 microns (1.5 to 2 mils).
Optimum performance will be achieved for steel operating under high & cyclic temperature conditions
when the preferred 50 micron (2 mil) profile is obtained.
Primed Surfaces
Interbond 1202UPC is suitable for application to unweathered steelwork freshly coated with zinc silicate
shop primers.
If the zinc shop primer shows extensive or widely scattered breakdown, or excessive zinc corrosion
products, overall sweep blasting will be necessary. Other types of shop primer are not suitable for
overcoating and will require complete removal by abrasive blast cleaning.
Weld seams and damaged areas should be blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6.
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 54 part(s) : 1 part(s) by volume
Working Pot Life 5°C (41°F) 15°C (59°F) 25°C (77°F) 40°C (104°F)
2 hours 1.5 hours 75 minutes 50 minutes
Airless Spray Recommended Tip Range 0.38-0.48 mm (15-19 thou)
Total output fluid pressure at spray tip not less than
141 kg/cm² (2005 p.s.i.)
Air Spray Recommended when Gun DeVilbiss MBC or JGA
(Pressure Pot) topcoating Air Cap 704 or 765
Fluid Tip E
Air Spray Recommended when Use suitable proprietary equipment
(Conventional) topcoating
Brush Suitable - touch up only Typically 60 microns (2.4 mils) can be achieved
Roller Suitable - touch up only Typically 60 microns (2.4 mils) can be achieved
Thinner International GTA007 Do not thin more than allowed by local
environmental legislation.
Cleaner International GTA007
Work Stoppages Do not allow material to remain in hoses, gun or spray equipment. Thoroughly
flush all equipment with International GTA007. Once units of material 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 GTA007. 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.

Interbond® 1202UPC
Universal Pipe Coating
PRODUCT Interbond 1202UPC conforms to the Inert Multipolymeric Matrix coating definition as per NACE
CHARACTERISTICS Standard Practice SP0198 Table 2 typical recommendations for use on carbon steel equipment
under thermal insulation.
When applying Interbond 1202UPC in confined spaces ensure adequate ventilation.
Surface temperature must always be a minimum of 3°C (5°F) above dew point.
Interbond 1202UPC reacts with atmospheric moisture, and as such when in the can should remain
covered at all times. Failure to keep the tin covered will result in skinning of unused material and
loss of pot life.
In common with many products containing leafing aluminium pigmentation Interbond 1202UPC may
be prone to developing a “polished” appearance in areas of minor mechanical impact etc. However,
this phenomenon is merely aesthetic and is not detrimental to the anti-corrosive performance of the
product.
As with all coated surfaces, it is recommended that appropriate care be taken during storage and
transport to avoid mechanical damage from dragging and scraping.
Due to the flexible nature of the coating and total recommended dry film thickness being at or below
200 microns (8 mils), pull-off adhesion testing (as per ISO 4624) is not considered relevant.
Adhesion should be evaluated using cross cut methods such as those specified in ISO 2409 or
ASTM D3359. Acceptable ratings achieved in practice are ≤2 (as per ISO 2409) or ≥3A (as per
ASTM D3359).
When using in high heat service over inorganic zinc primer, the products should be applied in strict
accordance with film thickness specifications, since application of excessive thicknesses may
cause blistering. Determine that the inorganic zinc primer is thoroughly cured prior to application of
the high heat coating by following the curing instructions given on the relevant product data sheet.
When using a zinc silicate primer to obtain maximum corrosion resistance the recommended
thickness of zinc silicate is 50 microns (2 mils) dry film thickness to ensure maximum surface
strength for any subsequent temperature cycling and to avoid flaking of topcoats
It is preferable to overcoat zinc silicate before weathering but in cases where this is not possible
then the zinc silicate surface should be clean and free of zinc corrosion products.
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 Interbond 1202UPC is normally applied direct to metal.This specialist coating is only compatible
COMPATIBILITY with a very limited number of products.
Interzinc 22 Series
Interbond 1202UPC can be topcoated with Interthane 870 in a variety of colours including safety
colours for service temperatures upto 120°C (248°F).
Interbond 1202UPC can be topcoated with Intertherm 875 or Intertherm 1875 in a limited range of
colours for service temperatures between 120°C (248°F) to 205°C (401°F).
Note: The optimum topcoat appearance is achieved when Interbond 1202UPC is applied via
conventional or airspray techniques.
Where overcoating is with recommended topcoats Intertherm 1875 or Intertherm 875, the maximum
overcoating interval is 28 days. Where maximum overcoating intervals are exceeded, clean the
surface of Interbond 1202UPC thoroughly with clean fresh water then lightly abrade.
