5.0 SURFACE PREPARATION

5.1 Carbon Steels (Bare Metal)

Surfaces shall be thoroughly pressure washed with potable water to remove all dirt, dust and water
soluble salts. The water washing shall be considered critical, especially if the surfaces are, or have
been, exposed to a salt environment. If any grease and oils are present on the surface, the surfaces
shall be washed with biodegradable non-ionic detergent solution or suitable hydrocarbon solvent until
the surfaces are completely free of all surface contamination. There shall be no smudge on the surface
when rubbed with a clean cloth. Surfaces cleaned with detergent shall be thoroughly rinsed with potable
water to remove traces of detergent.

Testing for soluble salts shall be conducted prior to commencing abrasive blasting. Extraction and
assessment of the soluble salts shall be done in accordance with ISO 8502-6 and ISO 8502-9 or SSPC
Guide 15, Section 4.6 and SSPC Guide 15, Section 5.3. Six samples per 2000 m2 shall be taken for
immersion surfaces and 4 samples per 2000 m2 shall be taken for atmospheric surfaces. Acceptable
average conductivity for immersion surfaces shall correspond to chloride level ≤ 20 mg/m2 and maximum
conductivity shall correspond to chloride level ≤ 30 mg/m2. Acceptable average conductivity for
atmospheric surfaces shall correspond to chloride level ≤ 30 mg/m2 maximum conductivity shall
correspond to a chloride level ≤ 40 mg/m2. Surfaces not in compliance with these limits shall be steam
cleaned or fresh water washed and re-tested until the requirements are met.

Welded areas shall be blast cleaned or ground to remove burrs, spatter, or protrusions. Weld
reinforcement shall not be removed and base metal shall not be ground below the surface.

Surface preparation and anchor pattern (surface profile) shall be as specified for each individual paint
system.

Before applying any coating, blast cleaned surfaces shall be vacuumed and wiped with a clean cloth to
remove all traces of dust. Care shall be taken to ensure that no lint or other residue is left on the
cleaned surface by the cloth. Special attention shall be paid to grooves or indentions where
contaminants may become trapped. Cleaned surfaces shall be coated within four hours and before
occurrence of any trace of rust. If rust is noticed, the surface shall be blast cleaned again. Where the
item to be painted is large, it shall be cleaned and primed in sections.

5.2 Carbon Steel (Prepainted or Primed Surfaces Requiring Further Coating)

All surfaces shall be thoroughly degreased and washed in the manner stated for bare carbon steels
above. Coated surfaces shall not be washed until the previously applied coating(s) have reached full
water resistance. Consult coating manufacturer for curing schedule.

The washed surfaces shall be completely dry prior to further application of paint materials. Any
additional surface preparation, such as sanding required by the coating manufacturer shall be followed
prior to topcoating.

5.3 Galvanized Surfaces

environments shall be solvent washed per SSPC-SP 1 and sweep blasted per SSPC-SP 16 and cleaned
in accordance with the Application Data for epoxy primer (P-4). A minimum surface profile of 1 mil (25
µm) or as required by the coating system shall be created.

5.4 Methods for Cleaning up

5.4.1 The following describes The following describes the different methods of power tool cleaning and dry and
wet abrasive blasting.

5.4.1.1 Chemical Cleaning

The SSPC-SP 1 or equivalent method is used for the preliminary removal of contaminants such as: oil,
grease, crude or other chemicals that are found on the surface to be treated before starting operation of
dry abrasive blasting, wet or water pressure.

Degreasing products used for chemical cleaning by SSPC-SP1 method or equivalent must be
biodegradable.

5.4.1.2 Hand Tool Cleaning

The SSPC-SP 2 or equivalent method is used to clean small areas where you have to remove rust,
scale and welding slag and paint in poor condition. It should ensure that no tool materials contaminated
with waste clean surfaces.

5.4.1.3 Power tool cleaning

This method is used in areas where regular sized having to remove rust, scale and welding slag and
paint in poor condition; is more efficient than the manual tool. For this use cleaning power wire brushing,
brushes, grinders or other pneumatic, electric or mechanical transmission tool. Care should be taken
when using these tools, as overuse can polish the surface and remove or reduce its surface profile.

The cleaning quality obtained by this method should be the same as indicated in SSPC-SP 3 or
equivalent method.

10.0 APPLICATION OF PRIMERS AND FINISHES

Proper functioning of the in-line moisture and oil traps shall be evaluated daily by allowing the air supply (downstream of
the traps) to blow against a clean, white cloth in accordance with ASTM D4285 and as indicated in 6.2 above. No
moisture or oil should be deposited on the cloth. If contaminants are detected, the equipment deficiencies shall be
corrected and the air stream shall be retested. Cleaned surfaces determined to have been blasted since the last
successful test shall be degreased and reblasted with clean air and abrasive. Primers and finishes determined to have
been applied using contaminated air shall be removed and recoated using clean air.

Storing; thinning; mixing order; mixing procedure, including the mixer speed and mixing time; handling; and application of
paint materials shall be in accordance with the Application Data.

Pigmented and catalyzed materials shall be thoroughly mixed and strained before applying. Materials that have not
been applied within the pot-life times shall be discarded and properly disposed of.

Paints with metallic pigments such as zinc and aluminum shall be continuously agitated to prevent settling of the pigment
while being applied.

Ends of pipe that will require welding shall be masked off after blast cleaning and left unpainted 2” from the edge to
facilitate welding. The masking material shall be removed as soon as possible after painting.

Paint shall be spray applied if the adjacent surfaces can be protected from overspray. Where overspray cannot be
prevented, except for inorganic zinc, the paint shall be applied by roller or brush.

Weld lanes, bolt heads, corners, and edges require an initial brush or “stripe” coat before the application of the paint
system to assure wetting of the surface and adequate film build.

Paint materials shall be uniformly applied in even, parallel passes overlapping each pass 50% immediately followed by
cross-spray passes to obtain a continuous film without bare spots, pinholes or holidays. The coated surface shall have
no runs, sags, solvent blisters, dry spray or other blemishes. All irregularities shall be removed or repaired and recoated.

Intercoat contamination shall be minimized by maintaining proper cleanliness and by applying all coatings within the time
period stated in the Application Data. If contaminants are present, they shall be removed before applying subsequent
coats.

Coatings applied over inorganic zinc primer shall be applied using a mist coat/full coat method.

11.0 COATING REPAIRS

Repairs to primed, finish painted and galvanized surfaces shall be as follows:

 Damaged coatings shall be removed by abrasive blasting or power tool cleaning (SSPC-SP 11) unless they are
tightly bonded to the substrate metal. The surface shall be wiped with a clean rag to remove all dust and loose
materials. If there is any oil, grease or other foreign matter, it shall be pressure washed with water-based non-
ionic, biodegradable detergent followed by further rinsing with potable water to remove all traces of the
detergent. The surface shall then be dried.
