Product Description

International Interchar 2060c is a single component, solvent borne intumescent coating designed to provide fire protection to structural steelwork. Independently tested at accredited laboratories to BS476 Parts 20-21, AS 1530.4-2005 and AS 4100, and third party assessed and certified.

Best Uses

Interchar 2060c provides up to 60 minutes fire protection on 'I' sections beams, columns and hollow sections. It can be used over a wide range of approved priming systems and is suitable for both off-site and on-site application.

Typical areas of use include:

  • Airports
  • Stadia and leisure facilities
  • Office buildings
  • Retail complexes
  • Hospitals 
  • Schools

Interchar 2060 white C can remain un-topcoated for up to 6 months exterior exposure provided there is no pooled/heavy running water, or frequent high humidity conditions.

Application

The recommended application method for this product is by Airless Spray. Application by brush is also suitable, however this is recommended for small areas only, and multiple coats will be necessary to achieve the required dry film thickness.

Ensure all surfaces are clean 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.

Primed Surfaces
Interchar 2060 should always be applied over a recommended anti-corrosive coating scheme. The primer surface should be of normal appearance, dry and free from all contamination, and Interchar 2060 must be applied within the overcoating intervals specified (consult the relevant product data sheet).

Areas of breakdown, damage etc., should be prepared to the specified standard (e.g. Sa2½ (ISO8501-1:2007) or SSPC SP6, Abrasive Blasting, or SSPC SP11, Power Tool Cleaning) and patch primed prior to the application of Interchar 2060.

Metallic Zinc Primed Surfaces
Interchar 2060 can be applied over approved epoxy metallic zinc primers. Ensure that the primed surface is clean, dry and free from contamination and zinc salts, prior to application of the Interchar 2060. Ensure zinc primers are fully cured before overcoating. The use of a tie coat, typically Intergard 269 or Intergard 276, is recommended to prevent accumulation of zinc salts.
