International Interbond 2340UPC

International Interbond 2340UPC is a high temperature pipe coating that provides corrosion resistance in accordance with the ISO 12944-9 standard at ambient temperatures.

Best Uses

Interbond 2340UPC is suitable for use on both carbon steel and stainless, both insulated and uninsulated, as well as cryogenic service. It can be used on both new construction and maintenance repair.

Interbond 2340UPC has excellent resistance to 'thermal shock' experienced during rapid temperature cycling.

Application

The recommended application method is Airless Spray. Brush or roller can be used on smaller areas only. Please note, this product is not suitable for use with Conventional Sprays.

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to application, all 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.

New Construction
For optimum performance and in new construction phase, Interbond 2340UPC should be applied to abrasive blast cleaned steel, minimum Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC SP10. A sharp, angular surface profile of 50-75 microns (2-3 mils) is recommended.

Apply Interbond 2340UPC before oxidation occurs. If oxidation does occur, the entire oxidised area should be re-blasted to the standard specified. Any surface defects that are revealed by the blast cleaning process should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate manner. For small areas of touch up repair and welds, power tool cleaning to SSPC SP11 is suitable.

Optimum performance will be achieved with a minimum surface profile of 50 microns (2 mils).

Maintenance & Repair
For on-site planned maintenance and repair in some service conditions, Interbond 2340UPC may be applied to bare steel substrates prepared to a minimum of St2 (ISO 8501-1:2007). See application guidelines for further information.

Austenitic Stainless Steel
Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from metal corrosion products prior to application. Abrasive blast with non-metallic and chloride free abrasive (e.g. aluminium oxide or garnet) to obtain an average anchor profile of 35 microns (1.4 mils).

System Compatibility

Interbond 2340UPC is normally applied direct to metal and is compatible with a number of topcoats.
