TESTING REPORT ON INTERZONE 4954

Registered office Lot 1 & 2, Jalan Gangsa, 81700 Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia. Registered in Malaysia No. 151925-T

Introduction

Due to market requirement of coating with antifungus properties used on the sweating pipes in the PC market, IPM decided to come out a solution to fulfil this requirement.

Referring to the success trail from IP Brazil by using Interthane 990 with 1% KT2037 antifungus biocide, IPM do the same to add in antifungus biocides to Interzone 954 for trial. Result is satisfactory both from us and customers.

To differentiate this product after modification of the formulation, a new banner name has been given to this new product:

INTERZONE 4954
Beside the test report from IP Brazil, IPM provides this technical report which consist of two parts as stated belows: PART A : PART B : Laboratory trial QC performance Site testing on antifungus performance

8) Storage Stability

2 months storage result shows this paint still within specification except viscosity still maintain 6.3-6.4 poises and touch dry at 4.5 hours. Hard dry still maintain as 18 hours.

Conclusion: All the QC Test properties are within specification except for viscosity and drying time. The lab sample size at 250ml may contribute to higher viscosity due to insufficient stirring power compare to production. Longer touch dry result may not also represent production result as we can see that hard dry still within specification. Thus, further monitoring need to be conduct in production scale for final determination of result.
