of safety relating to the use of coatings and associated thinners shall be in complete
accordance with the MANUFACTURER’S stated requirements.
 The MANUFACTURER’S pot-life and induction time (necessary time for reaction of 2 pack
paint materials) requirements shall be followed. Mixing of different brands or generic types
of coating materials is not allowed. On-site mixing of approximate proportions is not
permitted. All mixing shall be done using factory proportioned containers only.
 Hydrostatic or other testing of welds shall be completed prior to painting of weld joints.
 Ends of pipe and related components, tank plate, structural steel, and like areas of other
items that will require subsequent welding at site, shall be masked off after blast cleaning
and left uncoated for a distance of 50 mm from all areas requiring welding. The masking
material shall be removed as soon as possible after priming or painting. It shall be the
APPLICATOR’S responsibility to see primed/painted surface is repaired prior to shipment.
7.6.3 Painting application

 Paint shall be applied to dry, clean, prepared surfaces under favourable conditions and in
accordance with the APPLICATION DATA.
 Pigmented and catalyzed materials shall be thoroughly mixed using power mixers before
being applied. Sticks shall not be used for mixing the paint.
 Continuous agitation type spray pots shall be used when applying metal pigmented
coatings such as zinc or aluminum loaded coatings.
 A mist coat shall be applied over inorganic zinc primer to avoid surface defects.
 The APPLICATOR shall exercise necessary care to ensure a smooth and uniform coating
is applied over inorganic zinc primer.
 Extra coats of paint shall be applied on areas where shape and/or plane of application
results in thinly applied coating; e.g., at edges, welds, corners, etc. To compensate for
these effects, a stripe coat of paint shall be brush applied before applying the finish coat.
 All coatings shall be uniformly applied without runs, sags, solvent blisters, dry spray or
other blemishes. All blemishes and other irregularities shall be repaired or completely
removed and recoated. Special attention shall be paid to crevices, corners, edges, weld
Page 7 of 20

KURD-PRO-INSP-014
lines, bolt heads, nuts, and small brackets, to apply the specified minimum dry film
thickness by brush application if spray will not completely cover all surfaces.
 Surfaces that will be inaccessible after assembly, including the surfaces of lap joint flanges,
nozzle necks, lap joint stub ends, lap rings, bolt holes and some welded joints, shall receive
the complete painting system before being assembled. Contact surfaces of bolted
connections are to be primed only.
 On structural steel areas subject to be assembled by high tension bolts, contact surfaces
shall be only primed with Inorganic Ethyl Zinc Silicate. Intermediate and final coat shall not
be applied.
 Intercoat contamination shall be minimized by maintaining proper cleanliness and by
applying intermediate and finish coats within the time period recommended by the
MANUFACTURER. If contaminants are present, they shall be removed before applying
succeeding coats.
 Flanges, nozzles, clips, access ways, saddles and other attachments which protrude
through insulation shall be considered un-insulated and shall be painted in accordance with
Appendix B,
 Painting schedules for external painting and internal coating shall be as per Appendix B &
C.
 Adhesion qualification test plates shall be prepared at the same time and under the same
conditions as the production coating work.
7.6.4 Spray Application

 Hose and containers shall be thoroughly cleaned before addition of new materials. The
spray gun shall be held no closer than 200 mm or more than 600 mm from the surface to
be coated.
 During application, the spray gun shall always be held at a right angle to the substrate.
Each pass shall overlap the previous one by 50 percent. In order to achieve a uniform
application, when large surface areas are being coated, spray application shall be made in
two directions so that the passes are at right angles to each other.
 Pressures and spray fan shall be adjusted so that the optimum spray pattern is utilized for
the surface being coated.
7.6.5 Brush Application

Application with brush is acceptable under the following conditions:
 When areas cannot be properly coated by spray for any reason

 When spray application is difficult due to location of work and wind conditions
 For touch-up or repair of localized damaged paint or to areas of incorrectly applied paint
 For painting of stripe coat
 When the materials to be applied are suitable for brush application
 When applying the initial coat of paint to corners, edges, crevices, holes, welds or other
irregular surfaces prior to spray application
Page 8 of 20
