Paint System:
Finishing Coat First Coat
One or more layers
of paint is called a
paint system. It
Steel Surface
gives corrosion
Protection.
Mid Coats
A Paint system may contain following coats:
1. 1st Coat (Primer): It protects the surface
(substrate) from corrosion and provides good adhesion to
the surface for the next paint layer.
2. Mid Coats: Mid Coats act as a barrier to prevent the

passage of Water.
3. Finishing Coats: Finishing coat (or coats) Give

final appearance (aesthetics), degree of gloss & colour.
Resistance to abrasion, UV rays, Weather etc.
Some Important Points:
• A single layer of fusion bonded epoxy or urethane would
give excellent protection employing the barrier principle.
• A zinc phosphate pigmented primer would be a

passivation system but would need further protection in
the form of a barrier system to protect it.
• An organic zinc rich epoxy would provide galvanic

protection through bimetallic principles but would last
longer with a barrier system to protect the zinc.
Q1. Second Coat also known as?
a) Primer
b) Mid coat
c) Top coat
d) Itching primers
Q2. A zinc phosphate pigmented primer would be a
a) Passivation system
b) Galvanic protection
c) Bimetallic principle
d) All the above
Q3. Organic Zinc rich epoxy would provide a
a) Passivation system
b) Barrier system
c) Galvanic protection
d) All the above
Primer
 A primer works better when in direct contact with the substrate.
 Provides excellent adhesion and also provides a key for any subsequent layer.
 Resist rust
 Older versions of BG specifications required that all primers should be brush applied.
 Primers for non-ferrous substrates:

 Zinc – Wash or Mordant primers
 Aluminium – PVB etch primers (15 – 25 µm)
 Acid Used (in Mordant & PVB etch Primers) – Phosphoric Acid
MID COATS
 One or more than one layer of mid coats can
be applied.
 Barrier Coats
 Prevent water from passing into the film.
FINISH COATS
 It Gives final appearance (aesthetics)
 Degree of gloss & colour
 Resistance to abrasion, UV rays, Weather etc.
Moisture tolerant systems
 In above ground pipes (an AGI, Above Ground Installation) the gas temperature is
very less than the ambient temperature and hence condensation forms on the
pipes.
 For repainting (during maintenance) either the gas stream can be diverted to
another route, or special materials (tolerant of the situation ) can be used.
 The BG National Grid specifications permits the use of tolerant materials

(moisture curing polyurethane or a high solid epoxy) as per Section SPA4 in
paragraph 10.
 Following three definitions apply when referring to quantity of water present.

• Damp – Paint can be applied
• Moist – Paint can be applied
• Wet – Paint can not be applied. Excess water to be removed
Q4. Which painting system contain with rust inhibitive
pigment and anti-corrosive pigment
a) Mid coat
b) Top coat
c) Second coat
d) Primer coat
Q5. AGI gas pipeline temperature is
a) Much cooler than ambient temperature
b) Hot than ambient temperature
c) Same as ambient temperature
d) None of the above
Q6. PVB Primers mainly used for
a) All ferrous substrates
b) Aluminium
c) Galvanising
d) Steel Substrates
Q7. The function of a finish coat is mainly to provide.
a) Impermeability and adhesion
b) Aesthetic properties
c) Cathodic protection and passivation
d) Increased thickness at low cost
Q8. Which product should be used to damp or moist
surfaces?
a) Water borne acrylic
b) Thermally Sprayed Aluminium
c) Moisture Curing Polyurethane
d) Micaceous Iron oxide
