Painting Method

When preparing the surface, priming, and coating, it is necessary to pay attention
to environmental conditions and the time between two coats of paint. These
conditions must comply with the paint manufacturer's instructions.

Surface preparation:

Remove any oil, grease, dirt and any other contaminants from the surface before
painting by proper method as such as wiping with acetone, soap, washing with
clean water.

Using Steel brush cleaning to St3, etc.

Cleaning the weld joint: The weld surface must be grinded smooth with a grinder.
 Doc. No. BSEZ-(PCCL-GKB)-WMS-32

All weld rust needs to be removed. Use a steel brush to clean the weld.

Application conditions

The surface should be adequately clean and dry. Do not apply when relative
humidity is above 90 %. The surface temperature should be at least 3℃ (5℉)
above the dew point to prevent condensation. In confined areas, ventilate with
clean air during application to assist solvent evaporation.

Painting work needs to be carried out between 9A.M and 5P.M. When weather
conditions are suitable (dry).

Mixing

Epoxy paint is a type of paint with 2 components. It is necessary to mix the two
components according to the manufacturer's recommended ratio before painting

Thinning

Thinner consumption may vary depending upon site conditions. Recommended

thinning rate: Max. 5% (by Volume).

Thinner type, need to follow the paint manufacturer's recommendations

Method of application

Roller or Brush is used to apply paint to the metal surface that needs to be painted.
For brush application: Use only for small areas or touch-up coating.

During the application, continuous agitation is required to prevent the

sedimentation of zinc powder.

Drying time

It is necessary to follow the paint manufacturer regarding the waiting time

between coats of paint as well as the waiting time for the painted materials to be
loaded and used.

However, the parameters recommended by the manufacturer are the results from
laboratory tests done under standardized conditions. Thus, actual times may be
different due to environment situations such as weather, wind and humidity, etc.

9. Safety Requirement
The local laws of safety and environmental protection shall be followed. All
persons on-site and in works areas shall wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. The site shall be kept in a clean, clear, and uncluttered condition, free

of obstructions and hazards, at all times. All materials and equipment shall be set
up properly, particularly on access routes. There will be hard-barricade and
warning signals around the painting area to prevent the entry of unauthorized
personnel. All engineers, staffs, and workers shall wear full shirts or jackets. In
contrast, general safety will cover the following;

 Induction training
 PTW
 Ensure PPE
 Housekeeping
 Daily TBM
Etc. as per the project HSSE Control Plan.

Material Handling and Usage

- In the wet state, this product is highly inflammable. In case of fire, blanket
flames with foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemicals.
- Keep away from sources of ignition. No smoking.
- Keep container tightly closed and keep out of reach from children.
- Do not breathe vapour / spray. Applying paint to large surface areas under
closed environment should use air supplied breathing equipment. For small
areas or short periods, a suitable mask should be worn.
- Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, loosen collar and keep patient rested.
