ISO 12944 : C3 (H)

S9.10 : Exterior Use - Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel - Polyurethane High Gloss Finish

INTRODUCTION International Standard ISO 12944 : 1998

The new International Standard and also European Standard for the
“Corrosion protection of steel structures by protective paint systems”.
This standard has already replaced existing National Standards such as
British Standard BS 5493 and German Standard DIN 55928.

CORROSIVITY C3 - Medium Corrosivity Environments [ISO 12944-2 : 1998]

CATEGORY Examples of typical atmospheric environments in a temperate climate are:
Exterior : Urban and industrial atmospheres, moderate sulfur dioxide
pollution. Coastal areas with low salinity.
Interior : Production rooms with high humidity and some air pollution, e.g.
food processing plants, laundries, breweries, dairies.

DURABILITY RANGE High (H) Durability - More Than 15 Years [ISO 12944-1 : 1998]
Durability is the expected life of a protective paint system to the “first major
maintenance” painting. It can be based on a standard level of degradation of
the protective paint system, e.g. to Ri 3 (1% of the surface area rusted) as
defined in ISO 4628-3.

PREPARATION Surface Preparation [ISO 12944-4 : 1998]

GRADE On fresh, 0-8 months old, unweathered hot-dip galvanized steel surfaces,
contamination by grease, oil, residual flux or marking materials, shall be
removed by detergent solution wash, followed by phosphoric acid treatment.
The zinc coating may be treated by sweep blast-cleaning using a non-metallic
abrasive. Other treatment shall be in accordance with the specification.
On weathered hot-dip galvanized steel surfaces, zinc corrosion products
(white rust) are formed and contaminants may accumulate. Oxidation
products, certain salts and some other contaminants can be removed by
washing with clean, fresh water containing detergent and by using synthetic-
fabric pads with embedded abrasive, followed by thorough cleaning with hot
water. Alternatively, the use of hot water, pressurized water, steam cleaning,
sweep blast-cleaning or hand- or power-tool cleaning may be suitable.
