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 topcoating.

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.

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 manufacturers 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 1" from the edge to facilitate welding.

1) Blast cleaning requirement applies to first (prime) coat only. Refer to section 5 for surface preparation requirement before applying as a finish coat. 2) Paint materials containing zinc and aluminum shall not come in contact with stainless steel surfaces to avoid embrittlement. 3) Deleted. 4) Non heat curing silicon acrylic paint or silicon acrylic paint having heat curing temperature 120 C shall be used. 5) The average surface profile shall be 1.5 to 2.0 mils for inorganic zinc rich, urethane and epoxy paints, and 0.50 to 0.75 mils for silicone paints. 6) Exterior painting, except inorganic zinc spray application, within plant is restricted to brush or roll application unless a written exception signed by the owner. 7) DFT listed is nominal range. Consult individual supplier data sheets for recommended thickness. 8) Painting under insulation is required to prevent corrosion under Insulation due to presence of chloride. 9) All Stainless Steel surfaces shall be pickled and passivated as per Manufacturer Standard.

Paint Materials for Client Approval Materials specified or referenced by a manufacturer's name and/brand are intended to describe the type and quality level of the material desired and are not intended to be restrictive or to exclude similar items by other manufacturers. Alternate materials require approval from the ENGINEER before being used. Any approval given by the ENGINEER for alternate materials and/or application methods is subject to change if the performance of the alternate materials or application method is later found to be inferior to the specified materials and methods. In such cases, the SUPPLIER and CONTRACTOR shall remove and replace the applied coatings and revert the materials and application to comply with this Specification at no cost to FLUOR. Approval is limited to application over surfaces operating at and application conditions less severe than the conditions stated in the published literature of the paint material manufacturer. Equipment fabricator shall refer paint supplier product datasheet before applying painting. They shall also confirm the painting product as required per painting schedule in Attachment 1.
