3.7 Applicable Substrate : Carbon steel

3.8 Surface Preparation Requirements:

Remove oil and grease etc. thoroughly with suitable detergent. Remove salts and other
contaminants by high pressure fresh water cleaning. Abrasive blasting with sharp
abrasive to minimum Sa 2½ (ISO8501-1:2007) with a surface profile equivalent to
Rugotest No. 3, BN10, Keane-Tator Comparator, min.3.0 G/S, or ISO Comparator rough
Medium (G). In case of new steel to be exposed to no more than medium aggressive
(industrial) environment and without any extraordinary demands to lifetime, a surface
preparation degree of SSPC-SP6 may suffice.

50°C 6 hours None ¼ hour

* Before overcoating after exposure in a contaminated environment, clean thoroughly
by high pressure sweet water hosing and allow to dry.
