SURFACE PREPARATION Distributed by:

Solvent cleaning as per SSPC SP1. Please refer to RapidCure for
specifics of surface preparation suitable for underwater, immersion
and atmospheric exposure areas.

In harsh environments such as C4M or C4I (ISO 12944), it is highly

recommended to conduct soluble salt test to identify presence of
Chloride Salts. Soluble salt, if any, shall be less than 20µg/cm2.
