GENERAL APPLICATION PARAMETERS

 Grit blast to NACE Sa3 White Metal Finish specifications (Swedish Standard #Sa3) and profile between 38 μm (1.5 mils) to100 μm
(4.0 mils).
 Preheat pipe to approximately 204°C (400°F) to 218°C (425°F).
 Place coated pipe in post cure oven to bring the temperature to 218°C (425°F).
 Apply Nap-Gard® 7-1808 Phenolic Primer if required. Refer to 7-1808 Technical data sheet.
 Apply Nap-Gard® 7-0008 powder to 17-22 mils.
 Cure should be verified by DSC or other methods.
 Electrically inspect for holidays. Repair with Nap-Gard® 7-1868.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE OF Nap-Gard® 7-0008

1. SCOPE
This Application Procedure shall define the minimum requirements for the plant application of Nap-Gard® 7-0008 Internal Pipe Coating,
including but not limited to materials, surface preparation, application, inspection and repair.

2. MATERIALS
2.1 Materials for the plant applied internal coating shall be a powdered, thermosetting resin trademarked Nap-Gard® as manufactured
by Axalta Powder Coating Systems USA, Inc, Houston, Texas. Material for touch-up or repairs shall be compatible with the finished
coating and supplied by the coating manufacturer.

3. SURFACE PREPARATION
3.1 All oil and grease shall be removed prior to abrasive cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP1-63.

3.2 All pipes should be preheated before grit blasting in order to prevent oxidation of the cleaned surface.

Revised: 26 February 2014

APPLICATION PROCEDURE OF Nap-Gard® 7-0008

3.3 The surface to be coated shall be cleaned to a “White Metal" finish in accordance with Swedish Standards #Sa3 using steel grit,
flint or garnet of appropriate particle size.

3.4 The blast pattern shall be uniform, angular anchor profile with a minimum depth of 38 μm (1.5 mils) to100 μm (4.0 mils).

3.5 The surface will be inspected immediately after blasting and all slivers, scabs, and gouges made visible by blast cleaning shall be
removed with media that will maintain the anchor profile.

3.6 Before coating, the pipe will be inspected for cleanliness and compliance with Section 3.3 above.

3.7 Total elapsed time between grit blasting and coating of the blasted surface shall be kept to a minimum to avoid the formation of
oxides on the cleaned surface. Visual formation of such oxides shall cause the pipe to be re-blasted prior to coating.

NOTE: To achieve optimum performance in some severe environments, a baked phenolic primer may be needed.

4. APPLICATION
4.1 Spray apply a liquid phenolic primer (Nap-Gard® 7-1808) to the cleaned pipe/pipe components. The dried film thickness shall be
between 19 μm (.75 mils) and 63 μm (2.5 mils). The surface temperature shall not exceed 150°F during the application of the primer.
Heat the primed pipe in an oven (450°F to 475°F air temperature) temperature approximately 20 minutes to bring the temperature to
400 ± 25°F.

Apply Nap-Gard® 7-0008 using fluidized air system. Place the coated pipe into the post cure oven to bring the temperature to above
425°F.

Air cool or water quench (if needed) the pipe bringing it to ambient temperature.

4.2 Minimum dry film thickness for the system shall be specified by the purchaser but it is recommended that this specified minimum be
no less than 425 μm (17 mils) and maximum 550 μm (22 mils).

4.3 The use of recycle powder shall be permitted if proper recovery and screening equipment is used and maintained. This equi pment
must meet the approval of the purchaser and the coating manufacturer.
A properly designed recycle system automatically and continuously blends recycled powder with virgin powder in the delivery system.
Recycled powder should be screened and an 80 mesh screen is recommended.

4.4 All air used to fluidize, transport, and apply the powder shall be dry and free of oil. It is recommended that the dry air system be
capable of delivering air of at least -20°F (-30°C) dew point or lower.

**CAUTION** Post cure time and temperature will vary with plant layout, cycle times, pipe sizes, and wall thickness. Therefore, the above information shall be used
only as a guideline by the applicator to develop proper post cure times and temperatures. Cure should be verified by DSC or other methods.

5. INSPECTION
5.1 Dry film thickness measurements of the cured coating shall be made with a calibrated magnetic film thickness gauge. Calibration of
gauge shall be verified daily utilizing U.S. Bureau of Standards certified coating thickness calibration standards.

5.2 Holiday detection shall be carried out at 67.5 volts D.C. The holiday detector shall be carried out using the wet sponge method
procedure at 67.5 volts D.C. The holiday detector used shall low-amperage, with adjustable D.C. voltage, employing an audible
signaling device. The holiday detector voltage shall be periodically checked with an accurate D.C. Voltmeter. The wet sponge shall be
in direct contact with the surface of the coating to be inspected.

5.3 Other tests shall include cure (DSC) and adhesion tests using appropriate methods.

5.4 Chemical resistance tests using pressurized autoclave vessel may be conducted on coated samples.

Test conditions shall be relevant to field/service conditions.

Always consult product Material Safety Data (MSDS) prior to handling.
