5. SURFACE PREPARATION

5.1. Carbon Steels (Bare Metal)

Surfaces shall be thoroughly washed with potable water to remove all water soluble salts, dirt and dust. The
water washing shall be considered critical especially if the surfaces are exposed to salty environment. If any
grease and oils are present on the surface, the surfaces shall be further washed with biodegradable non-ionic
detergent solution until the surfaces are completely free of all surface contamination. There shall be no smudge
on the surface when rubbed with a clean cloth. Surfaces cleaned with detergent shall be thoroughly rinsed with
potable water to remove traces of detergent. Solvent Cleaning methods shall be as outlined in SSPC SP-1.
Under no circumstances, shall the substrate remain without a primer coat for more than 4 hours.

Welded areas shall be blast cleaned or ground to remove burrs, mill scale, weld spatter, flux, or protrusions.
Weld reinforcement shall not be removed and base metal shall not be ground below the surface. Surface profile
measurements for abrasive blast cleaned surfaces shall be made with a Keane Tator profile comparator, clemtec
anchor profile chips, Testex Press-O-Film or other Contractor accepted method suitable for abrasive being
used.

Surface preparation and anchor pattern (surface profile) shall be as specified for each individual paint system.
Profile of the abrasive blasted surfaces shall comply with the requirements provided by the paint system and
measured in accordance with standard NACE RP0287.

Only grit blasting shall be used for surface preparation. All rough welds shall be rounded and contoured. Sharp
edges shall be rounded, chamfered and broken. The surface profile depth shall be achieved by using a medium
that has good angularity of form, sharp cutting edges and is substantially free from “half rounds”.

Before applying any coating, blast cleaned surfaces shall be vacuumed and wiped with a clean cloth to remove
all traces of dust.

Cleaned surfaces shall be coated within eight hours and before occurrence of any trace of rust. If rust is
noticed, the surface shall be blast cleaned again. Where the item to be painted is large, it shall be cleaned and
primed in sections.

The maximum allowable level of water soluble salt contamination shall be 20mg/m2. Surfaces that do not meet
this criterion shall be reprocessed.

5.2. Carbon Steels (Pre-painted, Primed)

All surfaces shall be thoroughly degreased and washed in the manner stated for bare carbon steels above.

The washed surfaces shall be completely dry prior to further application of paint materials. Any additional
surface preparation, such as sanding, required by the coating manufacturer shall be followed prior to top-
coating.

6. MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS

6.1. Environmental Compliance

All cleaners, primers, finishes and solvent materials shall be environmentally safe products and shall not
contain hazardous materials such as CFCs, lead, chromates and etc. which cause air, soil and water pollution.
Products which do not comply with the pollution regulations of the local governmental agencies are not
allowed for use on this Project. The SUPPLIER and the CONTRACTOR are responsible for verifying the
product compliance with local environmental regulations. Disposal of residual materials ( spent abrasives,
coating materials, solvents etc.) shall be performed fully in accordance with rules, regulations and laws in force
in the country where the coating work is performed.

6.2. Compressed Air

The compressed air shall be passed through a cooler.

All air compressors shall be of a sufficient size to deliver atleast 100 PSI at the nozzle. In no circumstance, shall
the compressed air temperature more than 100 C. Each compressor shall have two coalescing oil/moisture
removal filters, one located at the discharge of the after-cooler and one close to the blast/spray gun. Filters
must remove 99.999% of oil from the compressed air. Compressed air used for blasting and lining application
must be clean, oil free and dry.A compressed-air cleanliness test (blotter test) as described in ASTM D4285
shall be used for checking air cleanliness.

6.3. Abrasives

Abrasives shall be composed of clean, dry, hard particles free of foreign substances such as dirt, oil, grease,
toxic substances, organic matter, mill scale and water soluble salts. The pH of the abrasive materials shall be
6.0 to 8.5. Abrasives shall be sharp garnet or grit of Rockwell hardness (40 to 50 HRC) and properly graded.
Abrasive particle size shall be suitable for producing an angular sharp anchor profile. Shot is not acceptable.
Conductivity measured according to ISO 11127-6 shall not exceed 300 microSiemens/cm measured at 20°C
and chloride content shall be less than 25 ppm. In no circumstance shall silica abrasive be used.

Spray equipment shall be as recommended in the APPLICATION DATA. Sufficient number of spare parts
shall be made available at the work site.

Finish colors shall match RAL code colors shown in Attachment 3 (Plant colors and identification). Each
SUPPLIER shall furnish samples of available colors to FLUOR for items finish painted in the shop.

8. APPLICATION OF PRIMERS AND FINISHES

Proper functioning of the in-line moisture and oil traps shall be evaluated daily by allowing the air supply
(downstream of the traps) to blow against a clean, white cloth in accordance with ASTM D4285. No moisture or oil
should be deposited on the cloth. If contaminants are detected, the equipment deficiencies shall be corrected and the
air stream shall be retested. Cleaned surfaces determined to have been blasted since the last successful test shall be
degreased and re-blasted with clean air and abrasive. Primers and finishes determined to have been applied using
contaminated air shall be removed and recoated using clean air.

All painting shall be in accordance with this specification and the APPLICATION DATA; Attachment 1, Primers and
Finishes and Painting Schedule, unless otherwise approved in writing by the ENGINEER.

Storing; thinning; mixing order; mixing procedure, including the mixer speed and mixing time; handling; and
application of paint materials shall be in accordance with the APPLICATION DATA.

Pigmented and catalyzed materials shall be thoroughly mixed and strained before applying. Materials which have not
been applied within the pot-life times shall be discarded and properly disposed off.

Coatings and primers shall be delivered to the jobsite in the original containers bearing manufacturer’s name, product
designation, batch number, shelf life and date of manufacture.

Paints with metallic pigments such as zinc and aluminum shall be continuously agitated to prevent settling of the
pigment while being applied.

Ends of pipe, and edges of structural steel items that will require welding shall be masked off after blast cleaning and
left unpainted 1½" from the edge to facilitate welding. The masking material shall be removed as soon as possible
after painting.

Paint shall be airless spray applied if the adjacent property can be protected from overspray. Otherwise, the paint shall
be applied by roller or brush.

Weld lanes, bolt heads, corners, and edges require an initial brush coat before the application of the paint system to
assure wetness of the surface.

Paint materials shall be uniformly applied in even, parallel passes overlapping each pass 50% immediately followed
by cross-spray passes to obtain a continuous film without bare spots, pinholes or holidays. The coated surface shall
have no runs, sags, solvent blisters, dry spray or other blemishes. All irregularities shall be removed or repaired and
recoated.
