EVERSLIK® 1201/1301 BONDED MOLYBDENUM DISULFIDE COATINGS


ON LOW ALLOY STEELS
(REFERENCE A-002500-01)

1.0 SCOPE:
This specification defines the requirements for bonded molybdenum disulfide coatings on low alloy steel parts.

1.1 Engineering Notes


Everslik®1201/1301 is a two-part coating system that consists of a thermosetting, corrosion-resistant base
coat with a thermosetting, resin-bonded, solid-film lubricant top coat.

The Everslik® 1201 base coat is a protective coating and does not contain any lubricating solids.

The Everslik® 1301 top coat has a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) based solid-film lubricant. It provides good
lubricity and prevents galling and seizing in dry conditions and can be used in higher load carrying
applications.

However, when used in a fluid environment (e.g. seawater or control fluid) along with dynamic movement
(e.g. rotating, sliding) the Everslik® 1301 can degrade.

As such, we recommend Everslik® 1201/1301 coating shall be used when the following scenarios exist:

a. In a dry environment – Either static or dynamic applications

b. In a fluid environment – Only static applications

Cameron Internal Notes


Guidance on the selection of Everslik coating can be found in the Subsea Engineering Portal page. Contact
Cameron Metallurgy for questions.

2.0 GENERAL:

2.1 This type of coating system is used primarily for its lubricity. It is a two-part system consisting of a
thermosetting, resin bonded, solid film lubricant top coat applied over a thermosetting, corrosion resistant
base coat.

2.2 The coating may only be applied to finished parts. Parts that require welding shall not be coated until after
welding and stress relieving have been completed unless specifically approved by Cameron Engineering.

2.3 When specified on the Cameron Engineering drawing, parts to be coated shall be marked with a low stress
dot stamp which identifies the applicator (a logo, etc.).

2.4 Only those areas identified on the Cameron Engineering drawing shall be coated. If no areas are specified,
then the entire part shall be coated.

2.5 Cameron specification A-002500-01 forms an integral part of this specification and must be complied with
except as modified by this specification.

3.0 SURFACE PREPARATION:

3.1 Cleaning and Degreasing


All machined parts shall be cleaned with a liquid solvent suitable to remove any machining fluids. Parts to be
coated shall be free of oil, grease, dirt, etc. Cleaning may be done by vapor degreasing, emulsion cleaning, or
alkaline cleaning in accordance with the latest revision of Steel Structures Painting Council SSPC SP1. If the
part is highly contaminated (such as an aftermarket part) or inaccessible to allow adequate solvent cleaning, a
thermal decreasing is required. Thermal degreasing shall be done by heating the parts to a temperature at
least 50°F over the planned baking temperature to cure the coating and holding for 15 minutes minimum.
Cleaned parts shall be thoroughly rinsed in clean water to remove residual contaminants.

3.2 Blast Clean


Subsequent to degreasing, parts shall be white metal blasted to an anchor pattern of 0.2-0.5 mils (0.005-
0.013 mm) in accordance with SSPC SP5 (latest revision) or equivalent. Anchor pattern typically is checked
with a depth profile gauge. However, in order to measure such a fine anchor pattern, the surface roughness
Ra of the blasted surface shall be determined using a stylus profilometer. Ra shall be between 1-2 µm.
Sealing surfaces or other areas identified on the Cameron Engineering drawing shall be masked off prior to
blast cleaning. Blast cleaned parts shall not be touched with bare hands. Clean gloves made of non-
transferable material shall be worn by any person who must handle the blast cleaned parts. Blast cleaning
shall not be performed if the surface temperature of the part to be coated is less than 5°F (3°C) above the
dew point or if there is moisture on the surface.

4.0 PHOSPHATE TREATING

4.1 Blast-cleaned parts shall be phosphate within 4 hours after surface preparation has been completed. Parts
shall be zinc, iron, manganese, nickel-manganese or zinc-manganese phosphate coated.

4.2 Control of the phosphating chemicals must provide for the determination of free acid, total acid and ferrous
iron content. Analysis of free and total acid shall be made at least daily. If the process is proven to be under
control, the analysis of the ferrous iron content and weight of coating shall be made at least once a week. If
the bath is not used for a period of time (weekly), the full analysis including the weight of coating shall be
done prior to be used. Records of the titration shall be kept for a minimum of 5 years.

The bath concentration and temperature, and immersion time for the parts shall be such that the phosphate
coating meets the following requirements:

1. The coating shall have a minimum weight of 15g/m2.

2. The coating shall be evenly deposited, of uniform fine grain crystalline texture and have a uniform
color.

4.3 Phosphated parts (before they have dried) shall be thoroughly rinsed in clean, cold water. Rinsing may be
done by immersion or spraying. If immersion rinsing is used, a continuous overflow of fresh water shall be
maintained to prevent contamination of the bath to the extent that it becomes detrimental to the coating.
Parts shall be immersed only as long as required to remove residual chemicals from the phosphate bath.

4.4 First coat shall be applied within 4 hours of parts being phosphated. If the first coat cannot be applied within 4
hours after the phosphate operation, then part shall be re-blasted and re-phosphated beginning with Section
3.2.

4.5 Dry parts by blowing with clean, compressed air. The compressed air cleanliness of the spraying equipment
shall be verified in accordance with ASTM D4285 or an equivalent.

5.0 COATING MATERIALS AND APPLICATION:

5.1 Approved Materials


The following coating materials are approved for use for this specification. The base coat and top coat
materials must be from the same manufacturer as listed below:

5.1.1 Everlube Products


Base Coat: Everslik® 1201
Top Coat: Everslik® 1301

5.2 Coating Application

5.2.1 Apply coating materials per the following to obtain the coating dry film thicknesses specified in 5.2.2:

• To prevent the risk of coating blistering, apply the Everslik™ 1201 in two or three thin coats of
0.3-0.4 mils dry film thickness (DFT) with 15-30 minutes of air dry time between coats. Allow to
air dry for at least thirty minutes after the final coat before flash curing.

• Flash cure the Everslik® 1201 at 285°F ±15°F (140°C ±8°C) for 20-40 minutes.

• Apply the Everslik® 1301 at 0.2-0.5 mils DFT. Allow to air dry for at least 30 minutes and then
final bake the Everslik® 1201 top coat combination at 370°F ±10°F (188°C±5°C ) for one hour
part metal temperature.

• Temperature during flash cure and final cure shall be monitored using an attached thermocouple,
either on the production part or on an appropriate size heat sink.

• The curing oven and controlling device(s) used to cure the Everslik coating shall be calibrated at
least once a year.

5.2.2 System Requirements


Whereas the effect of phosphate treatment is normally measured by weight, an average of 10 DFT
readings, consisting of a base metal reading (BMR) plus the phosphate coating, should be taken
before the Everslik coating is applied. The average is to be used as a reference point in order to
determine the actual DFT of the base and top coat.

The minimum and maximum values of the base and topcoat shall be subtracted from the average of
the (BMR+Phosphate) reading to ensure that each coat conforms to the proper thickness.

Base Coat: 0.7 - 1.0 mil (0.018 - 0.025 mm)


Top Coat: 0.2 - 0.5 mil (0.005 - 0.013 mm)

6.0 QUALITY:

6.1 Quality of Personnel


Personnel carrying out inspection or verification during production process shall be qualified with a minimum
in accordance with NS 476 level II, certified as NACE CIP Level II, ICorr inspector level II, or a national
equivalent. National equivalent shall be subject to Cameron Metallurgy or Quality review, if requested.
Coating facility shall only use qualified applicators and shall have training records available upon request.
The personnel shall have relevant knowledge of health and safety hazard, use of protection equipment,
phosphating, titration, coating materials, mixing & thinning of coatings, and surface requirements etc.

6.2 Inspection
The coater is responsible for performing the following inspection operations on the finished, coated parts.
Where specifically stated, inspection may be done on a sample from each lot. A lot is defined as a group of
identical parts that are processed together throughout all stages of coating (including curing) using identical
procedures and batches of coating materials.

The following sample plan shall be used when sample inspection is permitted:

Lot Size Sample Size


1-5 Each part shall be tested
6 - 50 5 parts
51 and above 10% of lot

Samples shall be removed randomly from the coating lot. Failure of any part within the sample shall cause
rejection of the entire lot. If a lot is rejected due to the failure of a sample part, other parts within the lot may
be accepted provided they are individually inspected and meet the acceptance criteria.

6.2.1 Visual Inspection


Each coated part shall be visually inspected. Parts shall be free from runs, sags, drips, holidays, lack
of adhesion (see 6.2.2), blisters, peeling, flaking, and discolorations. Coverage shall be in
accordance with the Cameron Engineering drawing.

6.2.2 Adhesion Test


Adhesion testing of coated parts shall be done by water blasting. A stream of water at a minimum
pressure of 2000 psi (138 bars) shall be directed at the coated surfaces by a nozzle that is 6-12”
away and as perpendicular to the surface as possible. The impinging stream may be either straight
or fan-shaped up to 30o. The water stream shall be quickly traversed across the part so that 100% of
accessible surfaces are checked. It is permissible to direct the water stream at an angle on internal
coated surfaces where accessibility is limited. Internal coated surfaces shall be tested on a best
efforts basis.

When specifically approved by Cameron Metallurgy for orders involving small parts where water
blasting may not be practical, the coating applicator may perform a tape test for adhesion in
accordance with the latest revision of ASTM D3359, Test Method B, in lieu of a water blast test. The
results shall meet classification 3B or better as defined in ASTM D3359. Testing shall be done either
on a production part in an area identified by Cameron Engineering, or on a separately coated test
coupon processed with the production parts. At least one tape adhesion test is required per coating
lot. Adhesion testing on a process validation test panel shall be performed using the tape test.

6.2.3 Cure Test


The complete cure of the coating shall be verified utilizing the following procedure. Dampen a clean,
white cloth with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Using light to moderate finger pressure rubs the cloth
back and forth across the coating 10 to 15 times. A fully cured coating is not easily removed by MEK,
although a small amount of discoloration will appear on the cloth. The uncured coating is easily
removed (see Figure 1) and the coating will remain sticky to the touch. Uncured coatings shall be
stripped and the parts recoated.
