Intertherm® 751CSA
Heat Resistant Cold Spray Aluminum
PRODUCT A two component, high build, high temperature resistant 'cold spray' applied coating, based on inorganic copolymer
DESCRIPTION technology and pigmented with metallic aluminum flake.
Intertherm 751CSA is a novel high performance coating that is applied using standard application equipment and cures
effectively at ambient temperatures. Capable of providing corrosion protection to steel in both atmospheric service and under
thermal insulation operating in thermal cyclical conditions between -321°F (-196°C) and 1202ºF (650ºC) without the need for
additional heat curing, prior to being placed in service.
INTENDED USES Intertherm 751CSA has been specifically designed to provide a corrosion resistant barrier when used to protect steelwork
beneath thermal insulation in areas subjected to wet and dry cycling.
Typically applied direct to metal, as a one or two coat system, Intertherm 751CSA is particularly effective in maintenance
situations when used to mitigate the damaging effects of corrosion under insulation (CUI).
Intertherm 751CSA affords excellent resistance to 'thermal shock' experienced during rapid temperature cycling, and
provides effective protection to steelwork operating under cyclic conditions.
Suitable for application to hot surfaces operating in high temperature service up to 302°F (150°C).
Ideally suited for use in the chemical process, offshore productions, petrochemical and power industries, especially refineries
and process units, pipe work, chimneys, vessels, flare stacks, exhausts, furnaces, exteriors of reactors, power plants, vents
and other structures. Significant volumes of insulated and uninsulated steelwork can be coated with a single specification,
thereby reducing complexity and smoothing the progress of maintenance schedules etc.

Heat Resistant Cold Spray Aluminum
SURFACE All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to application, all surfaces should
PREPARATION be assessed and treated in accordance with ISO 8504:2000
Oil or grease should be removed in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent cleaning.
Steel
Optimum corrosion and temperature resistance will be achieved where steel substrates are abrasive blast cleaned to
a minimum of Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. If oxidation has occurred between blasting and application of
Intertherm 751CSA the surface should be re-blasted to the specified visual standard. Surface defects revealed by the
blast cleaning process should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate manner. A sharp, angular surface profile
of 50 microns (2 mils) is recommended.
Power Tool Cleaning (Small Areas Only)
Dependent on the service conditions Intertherm 751CSA can be applied over power tool cleaned surfaces prepared
to a minimum of SSPC-SP11 with an irregular 1.6 mil (40 micron) profile. Note, all scale must be removed and all
areas which cannot be prepared adequately should be spot blasted to a minimum standard of Sa2½ (ISO 8501-
1:2007) or SSPC-SP6. Please consult International Protective Coatings for the latest technical advice regarding this
situation prior to commencing application of the coating.
Ultra High Pressure Hydroblasting/Abrasive Wet Blasting
Consult the Intertherm 751CSA Application Guidelines for more details regarding surface preparation.
Stainless Steel
Ensure surface is clean, dry and free from metal corrosion products prior to application. Light sweep with nonmetallic
and chloride free abrasive (e.g. aluminum oxide or garnet) to obtain anchor profile of approximately 2 mils (50
microns).
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 41°F (5°C) 59°F (15°C) 77°F (25°C) 104°F (40°C)
2 hours 2 hours 90 minutes 60 minutes
Airless Spray Suitable Tip Range 15-19 thou (0.38-0.48 mm)
Total output fluid pressure at spray tip not less than 2005 psi
(141 kg/cm²)
Air Spray Recommended Gun DeVilbiss MBC or JGA
(Pressure Pot) Air Cap 704 or 765
Fluid Tip E
Air Spray Recommended Use suitable proprietary equipment.
(Conventional)
Brush Suitable Typically 1.6-3.0 mils (40-75 microns) can be achieved
Roller Suitable Typically 2.0-4.0 mils (50-100 microns) can be achieved
Thinner International GTA007 Thinning is not normally required. Consult the local
representative for advice during application in extreme
conditions. 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.

Heat Resistant Cold Spray Aluminum
PRODUCT To ensure the correct specification for your project, please contact International Protective Coatings for
CHARACTERISTICS advice.
The detailed Intertherm 751CSA Application Guidelines should be consulted prior to use.
Intertherm 751CSA is recommended for use with steelwork undergoing wet and dry cycling or situationsof
continuous intimate contact with thermal insulation operating at in-service temperatures ranging fromambient
up to 400ºC (752ºF).
For operating temperatures between 400°C (752°F) and 650°C (1202°F) please consult International
Protective Coatings for further information.
Intertherm 751CSA is typically applied direct to correctly prepared steelwork as a two coat system at 4 mils
(100 microns) per coat to give a total coating system dry film thickness of 8 mils (200 microns). Applications at
thicknesses up to 8 mils (200 microns) in a single coat are also possible. The maximum applied total dry film
thickness should be less than 14 mils (350 microns) at all times.
In order to ensure good anti-corrosive performance, it is important to achieve a minimum system dry film
thickness of 6 mils (150 microns), which in practice should equate to a minimum specification of 7 mils (175
microns).
When applying Intertherm 751CSA by brush or roller, it may be necessary to apply multiple coats to achieve
the total specified system dry film thickness.
Intertherm 751CSA can be applied to 'hot' substrates with surface temperatures up to 302°F (150°C), making
the product particularly suitable for use during periodic maintenance shutdown periods with no need for
additional heat curing, prior to being placed in service. Please refer to the Intertherm 751CSA Application
Guidelines for more detailed information.
Where multi-coat systems are to be used, optimum intercoat adhesion is best achieved by keeping the
overcoating interval as short as possible.
Intertherm 751CSA reacts with atmospheric moisture, and as such when in the can should remain covered at
all times. Failure to keep tin covered will result in skinning of unused material and loss of pot life.
When applying Intertherm 751CSA in confined spaces, ensure adequate ventilation.
Surface temperature must always be a minimum of 5°F (3°C) above dew point.
In common with many products containing leafing aluminum pigmentation Intertherm 751CSA may be prone
to developing a “polished” appearance in areas of minor mechanical damages etc. However, this
phenomenon is merely aesthetic, and is not detrimental to the anti-corrosive performance of the product.
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 color 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 Intertherm 751CSA will normally be applied direct to metal, and is not normally overcoated with any product
COMPATIBILITY other than itself when used under thermal insulation.
Overcoating of Intertherm 751CSA for color identification purposes may be possible. Please consult
International Protective Coatings for the latest technical advice.
