2.3 GENERAL
A. Material Compatibility:
1. Provide materials for use within each coating system that are compatible with
one another and substrates indicated, under conditions of service and
application as demonstrated by manufacturer, based on testing and
field experience.
2. For each coat in a coating system, provide products recommended in writing
by manufacturers of topcoat for use in coating system and on
substrate indicated.
3. Provide products of same manufacturer for each coat in a coating system.
B. VOC Content: For field applications that are inside the weatherproofing system,
paints and coatings shall comply with VOC Content limits of the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2007, Suggested Control Measure
(SCM) for Architectural Coatings and for interior paints and coatings
applied at Project site, the following VOC limits exclusive of colorants added to
a tint base, when calculated according to US EPA Method**
1. Flat Paints and Coatings: 50 g/L.
2. Non-flat Paints and Coatings: 100 g/L.
3. Primers, Sealers, and Undercoats: 100 g/L.
C. Low-Emitting Materials Interior paints and coatings shall comply with the testing and
product requirements of the California Department of Health (CDPH)' "Standard
Practice for the Testing of Volatile Organic Emissions from Various Sources Using
Small Scale Environmental Chambers (CDPH Standard Method v1.1-
2010)"**
D. Colors: [As selected by Architect from manufacturer's full range] [Match Architect's
samples] [As indicated in color schedule]
PART 3 – EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrates and conditions, with Applicator present, for compliance with
requirements for maximum moisture content and other conditions affecting
performance of the Work. Verify suitability of substrates, including surface
conditions and compatibility with existing finishes and primers. Where
acceptability of substrate conditions is in question, apply samples and
perform in-situ testing to verify compatibility, adhesion, and film
integrity of new paint application.
1. Report in writing conditions that may affect application, appearance, or
performance of paint.
B. Substrate Conditions:
1. Maximum Moisture Content of Substrates: When measured with an
electronic moisture meter as follows:
i. Concrete: 12 percent for acrylic and water-based products
ii. Block work: 12 percent for acrylic and water-based products
iii. Calcium Silicate/Cement Board: 12 percent for acrylic and water-
based products
iv. Plaster: 12 percent for acrylic and water-based products
2. Calcium Silicate/Cement Board: Verify that finishing compound is sanded
smooth.
3. Plaster Substrates: Verify that plaster is fully cured.
3.2 PREPARATION
3.3 APPLICATION
A. Apply all interior paints according to manufacturer's written instructions
and recommendations.
1. Use applicators and techniques suited for painting and substrate indicated.
2. Coat surfaces behind movable equipment and furniture same as similar
exposed surfaces. Before final installation, coat surfaces behind
permanently fixed equipment or furniture with prime coat only.
3. Coat back sides of access panels, removable or hinged covers, and similar
hinged items to match exposed surfaces.
4. Do not apply coatings over labels of independent testing agencies or
equipment name, identification, performance rating, or
nomenclature plates.
B. If undercoats or other conditions show through final coat, apply additional coats until cured
film has a uniform coating finish, color, and appearance.
C. Apply paint to produce surface films without cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps, brush
marks, runs, sags, ropiness, or other surface imperfections. Produce sharp glass lines and
color breaks.
Notes:
** For projects in localities where the local green building regulation is accepting VOC content determination by ISO 11890-2 or for products for
which reasonably accurate VOC content determination is not practical, VOC content values as per ISO 11890-2 is acceptable
