6.0 APPLICATION
6.1 The protective coatings shall be thoroughly mixed applied in strict accordance with SSPC and the
Paint Manufacturer's instructions over clean, properly prepared surfaces.
6.2 The cleaned metal surface is to have the initial coat applied within a period not to exceed 4 hours
after blasting.
6.3 A minimum of 6" around the edge of blasted areas shall be left uncoated unless adjoining a newly
coated surface. Blasting shall continue to a minimum of 1" into adjoining coated surfaces.
6.4 Structural members designed in such a manner as to contain a field splice by welding shall not be
coated in the splice area prior to splicing for a distance of 4". This area shall be included in the
blasting operation but shall be properly masked-off prior to application of coating. Masking shall
remain on members to protect the splice area from rust and other contamination until the field
splice is made. After the weld is made and cleaned, coating shall be applied in accordance with
this Specification.
6.5 Surface imperfections such as slag, arc strikes, weld splatter, porosity, sharp edges, pits,
laminations, slivers or crevices shall be removed or repaired prior to coating. Any areas where
grinding is required after blasting shall be blast cleaned by CONTRACTOR to obtain the required
surface pattern.
6.6 In areas inaccessible to blasting and painting, seal plates 1/8" thick shall be added and seal welded
all around. These plates shall receive the full coating system. Areas that cannot be boxed in shall,
subject to approval by COMPANY, be filled with epoxy mastic, caulking compound or other
suitable filler to prevent retention of dirt and moisture. These areas include deck penetrations.
6.7 All landing surfaces for gratings shall be completely coated to the finish coat prior to fixing. All
landing surfaces of equipment, pipe-spools, support brackets, flange faces, bolt holes and areas
under "U" bolts are to be coated with the specified intermediate coat of epoxy before installation.
6.8 Inorganic zinc primers exposed for prolonged periods shall have white stains and zinc corrosion
products removed by washing with clean fresh water prior to applying top coating. Following
such washing, surfaces should be completely dry prior to applying the top coat.
6.9 In all cases where the second or third coats were applied more than three days previously and have
to be over-coated, the surfaces shall be lightly abraded or solvent wiped to ensure good inter-coat
adhesion between these coatings. Method of preparing a coated surface include light whip blasting
or power disc sanding and washing with solvent recommended by the Manufacturer.

7.0 INSPECTION
7.1 General

Manufacturer material certificates shall be submitted to COMPANY.
All materials shall be certified by means of the Manufacturer's certificate of analysis for
each batch of material supplied. This certificate of analysis shall be submitted to
COMPANY before the pipe is coated with the material. Representative samples of material
may be tested prior to or during coating operations by COMPANY. If material is rejected,
the cost of testing shall be borne by CONTRACTOR.
