2.2

Surface Defect Prior to commencement of surface preparation all surface defects, including cracks, surface lamination or deep pitting, likely to be detrimental to the protective painting system shall be removed. All fins and saw cuts, burns, and sharp edges shall be similarly removed.

2.3

Rust Removal Surfaces shall be primed before any resting occurs (if rust forms after cleaning, the surface shall be cleared before painting).

2.4

Blast Cleaning 2.4.1 Prior to blast cleaning, oil and similar matter shall be removed with a solvent wash (SSPC-SP1). Steel surfaces, normally, shall not be blasted when surface temperature is less than 3oC above the dew point, relative humidity is greater than 85% or there is a possibility that blasted surface will be subject to wetting before the first coat of primer can be applied. Surface shall be blown, wiped or vacuumed free of blasting abrasive and dust before they are primed. Since freshly blasted surfaces are subject to immediate corrosion, particularly in areas of high humidity or salt atmosphere, no more surface shall be blast cleaned than can be primed in the same day. Sandblast cleaning surfaces shall be primed within on hour.

2.4.4

A 30 cm wide strip of uncrated, blasted surface shall be left between primed and unblasted surfaces to prevent damage to the newly dried resumed, the 30 cm strip of previously blasted surface shall require only a light brush blast to remove any rust that may be present. Cleaning shall be accomplished by holding the cleaning nozzle in a direction wary from the coated surface.

2.5

Solvent Cleaning Prior to solvent cleaning, soil, cement spatter, salt, or any other foreign matter other than oil or grease) shall be removed by a stiff fiber brush, wire brush, or any scraping.

2.6

Pickling Prior to pickling, all heavy deposits of oil, grease, soil or other similar substances, except rust, mill scale, or oxide, shall be removed by solvent cleaning, scraping or brushing.

2.7

Power Tool Cleaning Prior to power tool or sandblast cleaning, oil, grease and salts shall be removed by solvent cleaning. Exercise care in the use of power tools to prevent excessive roughening of the surface and the formation of ridges and burrs. Excessive poser wirebrushing of mill scale produces a burnished slick surface not suitable for coating.

2.8

Hand Tool Cleaning Prior to hand tool cleaning, oil, grease and salts shall be removed by solvent cleaning. Exercise care in the use of hand tools to prevent excessive roughening of the surface and the formation of ridges and burrs.

3.

PAINTING APPLICATION
3.1 Method 3.1.1 Paint shall be applied by one, or combination of the following methods: a) b) c) d) e) 3.1.2 Brushing Roller Coating Air Spraying Airless Spraying Paint Mitt (for small diameter piping and so forth)

The method of application shall be selected according to the paint manufacturers recommendation for the type of paint, the materials to be coated and circumstances of working area.

3.2

Selection of Solvent Conventional solvent-base shall not be applied to exterior surface in damp, humid weather when the air temperature is below 5oC or when the surface temperature is less than 3 oC above the dew point. However, water-base paints may be applied on damp surfaces; wetting or exterior surfaces is recommended during hot weather. Water-base paint shall be applied at air temperature above 10 oC. Chemically cured paints generally shall not be applied at air or surface temperature below 10 oC or when relative humidity is above 85% (Paint manufacturers recommendations shall be consulted in each case for possible special temperature requirements). No paints shall be applied to a surface at a temperature that will cause blistering, porosity or otherwise be detrimental to the life of the paints.

3.3

Prime Coat Surface areas cleaned shall be prime coated with the specified primer the same day that surface preparation has been completed and before rerouting occurs. Surface cleaned by pickling should, if possible, be primed while still warm.

3.4

Contact Surface Contact surface should be painted as follows : 3.4.1 Contact surfaces of steel members to be jointed by bolting in frictiontype joints shall be painted with inorganic zinc primers. Steel coated in the shop or in field before erection shall not be coated within 50 mm of the edges to be welded, except for inorganic zinc primers. Steel surface in direct bonded contact with concrete, embeded in concrete, or coated with concrete, shall only be painted in specific cases where corrosion of the steel is expected to be a problem. Steel to be embedded in brick or other masonry shall be given at least on prime coat. Any surfaces not in direct bonded contact, but inaccessible after assembly, shall receive the full specified paint system before assembly.

3.5

Recoating Surface shall not be recoated until preceding coat has properly dried or cured. The surface may be considered ready for recoating when the next coat can be applied without the development of paint film irregularities, such as lifting or loss of adhesion to the undercoat. However, the minimum or maximum drying or curing time specified by the paint manufacturer shall be acceptable redcoat period. Paint shall not be force-dried under conditions which will cause checking, wrinkling, blistering, formation of pores, or which will be detrimental to its condition or appearance.

3.6

Protection of Painted Surface Newly painted surfaces shall be protected to the fullest extent practical form rain, condensation contamination, snow and freezing until the coating has dried.

3.7

Color of Successive Coat Successive coats of paint, preferably, should be of a different color. However, if they are of the same color, alternate coats shall be tinted to produce sufficient contrast to ensure complete coverage and specified film thickness of each coat. The final finish coat shall not be tinted. Tinting materials shall be compatible with the paint and shall not be detrimental to its service life.

3.8

Sprayed Coating Sprayed coating shall be cross-spray-applied to insure uniform coverage free of runs and sags.

3.9

Dry-Film Thickness Dry-film thickness shall be in accordance with Project Technical Specification (SP-009). Where the required thickness is not achieved, additional coats shall be applied until the proper thickness is obtained. Application shall be such that the film thickness will not affect appearance or service life of the paint.

3.10

Type of Paint & Number of Coat The type of paint to be used and number of coat to be applied shall be in accordance with Project Technical Specification (SP-009).

3.11

Touch-up Painting 3.11.1 Touch-up painting for finish coat shall be applied as a minimum in the following case: a) b) c) d) e) f) Spots Swells Cracks Strip-offs Discoloration Other improper painting

3.11.2 Touch-up painting for prime coat shall be applied to the portions damaged during transportation, handling and construction period, before application of successive coats.
