Approved by Page 1 /3 Scope. This method statement specifies process of paint coating applied on fabricated iron and steel articles. Surface preparation. Substrate should be blast cleaned to Sa 2.5. Surface should be dry and free from contaminants. Site surface preparation operation resulting in exposed bare metal, shall be performed only when environmental humidity is not over 85% and ambient temperature is 10to 45 and there shall be no moisture on the surface of substrate. After blasting and immediately prior to coating, the blasting dust shall be removed by air equipment of high pressure. Paint System. Paint. 1st coat Transpoxy Master bond 4.68 DFT 120 - RAL-1217 2nd coat Transpoxy Master bond 4.68 DFT 120- RAL. 7042 System. Two pack high solids modified epoxy primer coating formulated with Masterbond binder technology. Application Data. Surface preparation to be checked for suitability and free from contaminants before start painting. Record Blasting & Painting inspection Report. Paint to be applied by airless spray. Application data. Mixing ratio By volume, base to hardener: 80 to 20 Pot life 23C: 2 hours 30C: 1 hour

Guiding data Air less spray Pressure at nozzle: 180 250 bar. Nozzle size: 0.41 0.58 mm Thinner/Cleaner Conditions 30C The temperature : min: 8C, max: 35C The temperature of the substrate should be at least 3C above the dew Point of the air. Air temperature and relative humidity must be measured Spray angle: 40 -80 degrees. Volume of thinner: 0 5% Transocean epoxy Thinner 6.03 Humidity: below 85% RH Temperature of paint before application: min: 5C, max:

3) Apply paint by Brush or roller to the prepared area to the sufficient coating thickness. Health and safety As a general rule, avoid skin- eye contact by wearing overalls, gloves, goggles, mask etc. Spillage on the skin should immediately be removed by through washing with lukewarm water and soap or a suitable industrial cleaner. Eyes should flushed with fresh water and medical attention sought immediately. Spraying should be carried out under well ventilated conditions. Avoid inhalation of solvent vapors and paint mist by wearing air mask.
