ANNEXURE - 5 COATING SYSTEM FOR GALVANIZED STRUCTURAL STEEL PARTS 1. Scope Coating for atmospheric protection of galvanised steel structural parts. 2. Surface preparation Surfaces shall be cleaned with fresh water and/or suitable solvent wash to remove zinc salts and/or oil, grease etc. Dry light blast cleaning with suitable abrasive such as aluminium oxide. If blast cleaning is absolutely impossible then solvent cleaning with an alkaline detergent agent may be used as a second choice surface preparation.

Surface Preparation Removal of any grease and oil by solvent cleaning. Wash with fresh water to remove salts contamination. Removal of rush stains by light blast cleaning with aluminium-oxide or inert aluminium-silicate grit, or by means of stainless steel wire brushing. Normal steel wire brushes shall not be used.
3.
Coating System First coat: High build epoxy of marine environment type to a d.f.t. of 120 microns (minimum). Top coat: Polyurethane high gloss finish to a d.f.t. 50 microns. Total dry film thickness Minimum total dry film thickness shall be 170 microns minimum. Under any circumstances zinc-containing paints shall not be used on stainless steel surfaces.
