International Interprotect

If you use your boat or yacht regularly, proper maintenance is essential. International primers are ideally suited for this purpose. In addition to a 1-component primer, International also offers a 2-component primer: International Interprotect.

International Interprotect is a fast-curing, 2-component epoxy primer with excellent corrosion protection. Thanks to its high abrasion resistance, it can be used on steel, aluminium, zinc/galvanised steel, lead and wood. Interprotect is suitable for use both above and below the waterline.

Benefits of International Interprotect

• High‑performance epoxy primer.
• Excellent anti-corrosion protection.
• Easy to sand.

• Good scratch resistance.

Suitable substrates

You can easily apply the Interprotect epoxy primer to:

• Aluminium / galvanised steel (zinc-coated)

Directions for use

Follow the steps below to apply International Interprotect:

1. Prepare the substrate according to the instructions in the technical documentation (section: Application and Use).
2. If filling is required, use a suitable filler after the first coat of Interprotect has been applied.
3. Remove all dust before starting the painting process.
4. Open both containers and stir each component separately.
5. Add the hardener to the base and mix thoroughly.
6. Allow the mixture to stand for 10 minutes to allow air bubbles to escape.
