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.

All sharp edges shall be ground to a minimum 1/8”(3mm) radius.

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

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.

5.4.1.4Cleaning with dry abrasive blasting

Surface preparation with dry abrasive blasting new unpainted or rusted steel requires surface
of anchor profile.

Where there is restriction of dust generated by dry abrasive blasting, it can be used another

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 and edges of structural steel items 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.
