with dry abrasives,
when the hygrometric degree of the ambient air is below 80 Oft,
when the temperature exceeds SoC,
when the substrate to be treated shall exceed the dewpoint temperature.

Each cleaning opeation will be followed by a carefully dedusting by means of

dry and oilless r;ompressed air, ill orden a dj mjuate any abrasive.

Imperatively, cleaned surfaces must be coated by paint in the 12 boors following
