PAINTING AND PAINT SYSTEMS

1.0
SCOPE
This Process Specification details the basic procedures that must be followed in
connection with the preparation and painting of gear units and components
2.0
PREPARATION OF PAINT
Once the paint is opened, it is extremely important to ensure that it is
thoroughly mixed until a smooth consistency is achieved throughout.
If necessary, when spray-painting, to thin the paint, only the manufactures
recommended thinners shall be used to the manufacturers recommendations.
When using 2 pack paints, e.g. epoxy & Acrylic, it is important that the
manufactures instructions are followed, taking care to ensure that the two paint
components are thoroughly mixed prior to application. Only mix sufficient
quantities of paint to perform the task, as, once mixed, these paints usually
have a short pot life before hardening (approx. 12 hours).
3.0
APPLICATIONS
The standard paint system for Company products utilises paints, which are
capable of being either spray-painted or brush painted, however, whenever
practicable and possible paint is to be applied by conventional air spraying.
Paint shall be applied to form a smooth continuous unbroken coating, free from
sags, runs or other defects, and it is important that sharp corners and edges
receive the correct thickness of paint.
When more than 1 coat is applied, due regard to minimum or maximum
overcoating periods shall be made as recommended by the paint manufacturer
and applied to a clean dry surface.
4.0
INSPECTION
Dry film thickness on standard paint systems, i.e. those contained in the
Appendices, are checked and monitored during sample product audit.
However, on special or customer specified paint systems, a check on final film
thickness shall be performed when a defined thickness is specified.

4.1
Page 2
SERIES G ONLY
A Paint process record sheet is to be completed for each paint operation by the
operator for extreme climatic paint (Appendix D) to signify completion at each
stage.
5.0
DEVIATION FROM STANDARD PAINTING SYSTEMS

It is important that where customers do insist on their own paint system, the
requirements are made available for checking at the earliest possible time, i.e. at
the order stage. These requirements shall be communicated in all instances to
the Engineering Department who shall give approval of the system for use with
in-house primers etc. before acknowledgement of the order is given. In
addition this will ensure that the paint manufactures are given ample time to
produce any special paint or colour, and that the Production Departments are
given ample warning thereby avoiding the costly exercise of stripping paint off
gearboxes. At all times the paint manufactures or customers specification
should be followed.
6.0
PAINT AND PAINT SYSTEM APPROVAL

6.1.
New paints or paint systems are only to be used following approval by

the Engineering Department who are responsible for performing the
necessary tests to ensure that the paints, paint systems and methods of
application are satisfactory for the intended duty.
6.2
Testing Paint Compatibility with Lubricant

6.2.1 Apply paint to a mild steel plate approximate size
100mm x 100mm x 1.0 to 1.5mm thick.
Note: (I)
The surface of the plate to be prepared, prior to
painting, in accordance with the paint
manufacturers instructions.
(ii)
The applied paint thickness should be equal to
that which would be applied to a gearcase.
6.2.2 Allow the paint to dry in accordance with the paint
manufacturers instructions. Measure and record the film
thickness of the paint applied to the sample.
Page 3
6.2.3 Immerse sample approximately 50mm into beaker containing oil

sample and heat to 100oC. Maintain temperature at 100oC for a
period of 8 hours.
6.2.4 After 8 hours remove sample from the beaker and inspect for
evidence of blistering, softening and discolouration.
If this appears visually acceptable then the adhesion is to be
checked by cross-hatching to the bare metal and applying
adhesive tape and inspecting for paint lift on removal.
A test record is to be completed and kept in the Engineering
Department.
6.2.5 Allow to cool, wash with white spirit (to remove oil) and allow
to dry for 2 to 4 hours.
6.2.6 Re-inspect for evidence of lack of adhesion, blistering, softening
and discolouration and report as above.
6.2.7 Re-immerse the plate (same end as in previous test) in the
beaker of oil and reheat to 100oC for a further 4 days (96
hours).
6.2.8 After 4 days (96 hours) remove sample from the beaker and
inspect for evidence of lack of adhesion, blistering, softening
6.2.9 Allow to cool, wash with white spirit (to remove oil) and allow
to dry for 2 to 4 hours.
6.2.10 Re-inspect for evidence of lack of adhesion, blistering, softening

particularly crevices
PAINTING
Junior A, Series C units size 3, 4, 5 and 6, Series F units size 4 and 6, and
Series M units size 1 - 8 shall be powder coated both internally and externally.
The dry film thickness of the paint system shall be a minimum of 60m.
Alternatively, the following paint system may be applied.
PRIMING COAT
All castings shall be primed by the Casting Supplier inside and out with one
coat of approved primer within 4 hours of cleaning. Dry film thickness of the
paint at this stage shall be a minimum of 30 m.
Page 5
SURFACE CLEANING Dry machining

Units are vacuumed on completion of machining as identified in the Quality
Plan.
SURFACE CLEANING Wet machining

The castings (gear cases, motor adapters, triple housings and reducer input
housings) are cleaned by immersion in a wash plant, where practicable, prior to
final assembly.
SURFACE CLEANING BEFORE PAINTING
On completion of the unit assembly, all surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned
with Firwood 113 Thinners to remove all grease and dirt, and where necessary
re-painted with primer.
OVERCOATING MACHINED SURFACES
Etch prime all machined surfaces with Firglo 90 etch primer followed by a
single coat of Firglo 1 priming paint (Except for Appendix D1,D2 & D3).
NB Series M Flange Mount Gearheads sizes 09 14 shall have the
output flange face protected with Tectyl 506 and not painted.
FINISH COAT
All external surfaces shall then be painted with one coat of Firglo 701 taking
due account of minimum overcoating periods. Total minimum dry film
thickness of paint system shall be 55 m up to a maximum of 100 m with
Firaqua 550 primer.
NB See note above on Series M Overcoating Machined surfaces.
PAINT SYSTEMS FOR EXTREME CLIMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS
See Appendix D.
Page 6
OVERCOATING FIRGLO 701

Units finished in the above paint may be directly overpainted with any approved
primer prior to overcoating with approved finish coat.
OVERCOATING BECKER POWDER

Units finished in the above paint MUST be directly overpainted with Resistex
M182 primer prior to overcoating with approved finish coat.
OVERCOATING FIRWOOD 130 HAMMER FINISH BLUE
Note Firwood 130 Hammer Finish Blue is not to be overcoated without
reference to the Quality Department for instruction.
PLASTIC SURFACES AND OIL SEALS
Are not to be overpainted and should be masked accordingly.
DRYING TIME OF FINISH COAT
Finish Painted components should not be packed in containers or
strapped to pallets for at least 12 hours after painting to allow for paint to
harden sufficiently so as not to be damaged during handling.
Air Drying and flash off for paint systems is dependent on air movement and
temperature. The curing reaction continues down to temperatures of +5c but
consideration must be given to the fact that for each 10drop in temperature
drying times can be doubled from those stated. Application at temperatures
below 5c is not recommended.
During the flash off and air drying stages care should be taken to ensure that
the temperatures are maintained above 10c and that air movement around the
painted items is maximised to ensure that solvents are removed.

PAINT SYSTEM AND PROCEDURE FOR G SERIES GEAR UNITS.
PAINTS USED
Primer:

Finish:
Firwood Firglo 701 Fast Dry Semi Gloss A very fast drying
50-55% semi gloss finish paint composed of short oil alkyd
resin/pigment.
SURFACE PREPARATION
(See also Preparation of Special Surfaces in this appendix).
On receipt, all ferrous components that require painting are to be blast cleaned
and on completion, remove all dust, residue and debris from the surface,
particularly crevices.
PRIMING COAT
All surfaces shall be spray painted within 4 hours of blast cleaning using
approved primer. The minimum dry film thickness achieved shall be 30 m.
SURFACE CLEANING
On completion of the unit assembly and run test all surfaces shall be thoroughly
cleaned with Firwood 113 Thinners to remove all grease and dirt.
Any machined surfaces requiring painting shall be etch primed with Firglo 90
Etch Primer. Mask off any areas to be left unpainted as identified on the GA
Drawing or Assembly Procedures.
Page 8
SECOND PRIMING COAT

All surfaces, which require finish painting, shall be overcoated with approved
primer (Ref Appendix C).
FINISH COAT
After allowing the priming coat to dry thoroughly, all surfaces shall be spray
painted using Firglo 701. The minimum dry film thickness of the complete paint
system shall be 85 m up to a maximum of 150 m, all bright machined

surfaces e.g. shafts, shall be masked off prior to painting.
PREPARATION OF SPECIAL SURFACES
FIBRE GLASS AND PLASTIC FAN COWLS
Fibre glass and plastic to be painted shall have their surface lightly abraded
using emery cloth to provide a key for the primer to adhere to, ensuring all dust
particles are removed prior to painting.
This shall be carried out on components which need to be painted Firglo 701
Blue. Customer specified colours shall have these components painted to match
the specified colour as identified on the GA drawing.
SHEET METAL AND PIPE WORK
Sheet metal guards and pipe work shall be Etch Primed, in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions, to provide an etched surface for the primer to
adhere to.
NON-FERROUS SURFACES (VISIBLE)
Because the painting of non-ferrous components is generally for aesthetic
reasons rather than to provide a protective coating, non-ferrous surfaces are to
be painted with two coats of Firglo 701 only. Firaqua 550 cannot be used
effectively on non-ferrous surfaces. Non-ferrous metals should be treated with
Firaqua 481 adhesion primer.
PLASTIC SURFACES AND OIL SEALS
Are not to be overpainted and should be masked accordingly.
Page 9
PAINT SYSTEMS FOR EXTREME CLIMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL

CONDITIONS
See Appendix D.
Units finished in Firglo 701 can be directly overpainted with any approved
primer.

Page 10
APPENDIX C
APPROVED PRIMER PAINTS.
Primed surfaces shall not be overcoated for at least 20 minutes after
application of the primer paint. This period will vary according to the
primer used by referring to the Supplier Product Data.
Care needs to be taken when it is known that the paint is to be in
contact with synthetic oils/mineral oils with full EP packages, or where,
for special paint systems, subsequent coats of paint are epoxy based.
Special considerations for these occasions are: a)
Use Resistex M182 as an alternative.
b)
Use alternative paint recommended by the Engineering

Department.
SOLVENT-BASED PRIMERS
