International Paint has introduced a
new range of universal primers for the
newbuilding market to address the
productivity, regulatory, performance
and commercial needs of shipyards
and ship owners alike. The goal was to
help ship builders and owners better
choose how they meet productivity
and performance targets and comply
with the International Maritime
Organization’s Performance Standard
for Protective Coatings (PSPC) and
new regional regulations limiting
VOC emissions, such as the EU’s
Solvents Emissions Directive.
New Intershield 300HS, is a high
solids version of the market leading
technology which offers 78% volume
solids, lower VOC and application direct
from the can without thinning. With the
aluminium content maintained >9%,
Intershield 300HS will continue to
deliver the same corrosion control the
shipping industry has come to expect.
Currently available in EMEA (Europe,
Middle East and Africa) and available
worldwide mid 2010.
