3. Installation Procedure
3.1 Surface Preparation
3.1.1 The surface is degreased and cleaned to ensure the removal of all oil, grease,
salts, dirt, and other surface contaminants prior to further surface preparation.
3.1.2 Prior to the start of the blasting work, all the surface irregularities including
weld spatters, weld fluxes, rough capping, etc., shall be removed or smoothed
using mechanical tools. The surface is blasted to SA 2 ½ (near white metal).
Page 6 of 389

APCS-20A - Ciba's Araldite GY 257 (Cont'd)
3.1.3 Blasted surfaces shall be vacuumed or blown clean, and extra care should be
taken to avoid contamination of the blast cleaned surface. Severe corrosion,
undercuts, or weld porosity (larger than 1 inch in diameter) should be reported
for remedial work.
3.1.4 Priming shall take place while surface preparation is still fresh (directly after
blasting and before oxidation). The overall steel surfaces such as the shell wall,
support column, tank floor, and bottom shall be primed with a solvent based
epoxy to a dry film thickness (DFT) of 25-30 microns (~1 mil).
3.2 Caulking
Caulking shall be applied on all sharp edges, mainly between shell and floor, between
floor plates, in and around sumps, around connection between pipes and hull, and
around support pipes.
3.2.1 For the area between the shell and the floor, the amount of filler will determine
the sharpness of the turn. The sharper the turn, the more difficult it becomes to
construct a laminate that is free from wrinkles and air bubbles, and therefore
must be avoided. Use minimal epoxy filler as necessary to make the turn. A
throat of approximately 5 cm is usually adequate.
3.2.2 Caulking between the floor plates shall be applied directly before lamination,
and while the epoxy mortar is still wet, lamination on the floor can proceed.
3.3 Landing Plates
In floating roof tanks, steel panel may be inserted under the support legs. Landing
plates (~6 mm thick) are first blast cleaned and primed on both sides, and the
lamination system is applied to one side only. While still wet, sand (clean and dry) is
sprinkled on the perimeter to provide for subsequent mechanical bond. While blast
cleaning is in progress, work shall start on the landing legs in the following manner:
3.3.1 The welds on the striker plate are caulked.
3.3.2 Two to three hydraulic jacks are placed around the leg on timber spreaders,
clear of the area to be lined, and the roof is lifted about 15mm. The pin holding
the leg is removed, and the leg is raised.
3.3.3 The area under the leg is cleaned.
3.3.4 The lining is applied so it extends 10 cm from the landing plate. The lining
should be resin rich in the center.
Page 7 of 389

3.3.5 The prepared plate is placed, laminate side up, and forced slightly in the wet
laminate. The system is allowed to set, the leg is lowered, the pin replaced and
the jacks are released.
3.3.6 Any gaps between the landing plate and the striker plate should be filled with
epoxy mortar (caulking).
3.4 Laminate Application
3.4.1 Apply a generous amount of epoxy mix (~500 microns) onto the primed steel
surface, as evenly as possible.
3.4.2 Apply one layer of 450 g/m² fiberglass chopped strand mat (CSM) to the wet
epoxy mix.
3.4.3 Embed fully to remove wrinkles and roll with steel roller to remove trapped air.
Add resin where required and consolidate well with steel roller.
3.4.4 Apply a second generous coating of Epoxy mix.
3.4.5 Apply the second layer of 450 g/m² fiberglass CSM with a 50% of the nominal
width of the mat overlap on the previous layer in order to achieve a 2 layer
system. Care should be taken to ensure the second layer is overlapping the
previous one with the untrimmed edge.
3.4.6 Repeat smoothing and rolling as in step 3.4.3 and add resin mix if required.
3.4.7 Lay a surfacing tissue of 30 g/m² in such a manner that it overlaps the mat
without aligning with mat edge, and ensuring that the strands of mat are not
exposed or protruding @ the laminate surface.
3.4.8 Repeat smoothing and rolling as in step 3.4.3.
3.4.9 Apply a fourth coat of Epoxy mix/ gel coat to give a resin rich finish.
3.5 Repair of Defects
3.5.1 Air inclusion shall be cut out to a tapered edge, sanded around, and application
of mat and tissue carried out with an overlap of 50mm on the sound laminate.
If the overcoating interval was exceeded, the overlap shall be of 100mm.
3.5.2 Overlaps of less than 30mm shall be patched with a strip 100mm wide.
3.5.3 Areas where the laminate does not appear to be resin rich shall be patched with
an extra layer of surface tissue and resin.

3. Installation Procedure
3.1 All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contamination. Prior to
paint application all surfaces should be assessed and treated in accordance with
ISO8504:1992.
3.2 Where necessary, remove weld spatter and where required, smooth weld seams and
sharp edges. Oil or grease should be removed in accordance with SSPC-SP1 solvent
cleaning.
3.3 All surfaces must be abrasive blast cleaned to Sa 2½ (ISO8501-1:1998) or SSPC-SP10.
A sharp angular surface profile of 75-100 microns is recommended.
3.4 Interline 985 must be applied before oxidation of the steel occurs.
Page 128 of 389


APCS-20B - Interline 985 (Cont'd)
3.5 If necessary surfaces may be primed with Interline 982 applied to give a dry film
thickness of 25 microns. Provided that moisture does not settle on the surface, Interline
982 will prevent oxidation for up to 28 days.
3.6 All welds, seams, lap joints, plate edges, etc., should be caulked using Interine 983
applied by twin feed airless spray equipment.
3.7 Interline 985 should be applied using plural component airless spray equipment
(incorporating a fibreglass chopper for the laminate coat). Recommended tip sizes are
27-36 thou for laminate application and 31-36 thou for gel coat application.
3.8 Spray apply Interline 985 together with chopped International GQA015 fiberglass
roving and consolidate to a 1250-1400 microns dry film thickness laminate by rolling
with a ribbed roller. The chopped roving should be spread @ a rate of approximately
450 gm/m².
3.9 Prior to application of the gel coat, abrade the surface to remove any protruding fibre
glass strands and vacuum clean.
3.10 Using plural component airless spray equipment, apply a gel coat of Interline 985 to
give a dry film thickness of 250-500 microns according to specification. The total
system dry film thickness is 1,500 to 1,900 microns.
3.11 Dry film thickness of greater than 500 microns may be tested for pinholes or other
holidays using a suitable high voltage pulsating type holiday detector set @ 100 volts
per 25 microns dry film thickness.

3. Surface Preparation and Coating Application

Page 282 of 389

3.2 Surface Preparation

Surface is degreased and cleaned to ensure the removal of all oil, grease, salts, dirt and
other surface contaminants prior to further surface preparation.
Prior to the start of the blasting work, all the surface irregularities including weld
spatters, weld fluxes, rough capping etc. shall be removed or smoothed using
mechanical tools.
Area to be coated is abrasive blasted to clean metal, (Swedish Standard, SIS
0.55.001967: SA 2 1/2), with a depth of pattern from 50 – 120 microns. Vacuum clean
the substrate to remove all dust and loose particles prior to recoating.
3.3 Prime coating
Priming shall take place immediately after surface preparation (i.e., directly after
blasting and before oxidation). The abrasive blasted area is protected with a thin layer
of conservative primer; SIPRIME 215 thinned maximum 30 % with Thinner 740. The
dry film thickness of the primer must not exceed 30 microns, as it is imperative to
preserve the rough pattern of the abrasive blasting in order to ensure the best possible
adhesion between primer and laminate. Too thin a coat must also be avoided, as it
would lead to flash rusting before the laminate can be applied.
3.4 Caulking/ Smoothing Edges
All sharp edges are smoothed and all sharp corners filleted with putty made up by
mixing the Araldite® GY 257 / Aradur® 830 / Aradur® 850 laminating system with
thixotropic agent such as Aerosil 200 or Cabosil. This is absolutely vital, as no laminate
can drape/coat over sharp edges or into sharp corners. In the corners, apply excess of
putty and give shape with rounded spatula. Once cured, roughen putty to ensure
adhesion of laminate or sprinkle some washed silica sand on the wet surface to ensure
mechanical bonding of the next layer of the coating system.
Caulking shall be applied on all sharp edges and into corners, mainly between shell and
floor, between floor plates, in and around sumps, around connection between pipes and
hull, and around support pipes.
For the area between the shell and the floor, the amount of filler will determine the
sharpness of the turn. The sharper the turn, the more difficult it would be to construct a
laminate that is free of wrinkles and air bubbles. Hence, sharp turns should be avoided.
Use minimal epoxy filler as necessary to make the turn. A throat of approximately 5 cm
is usually adequate.
Caulking between the floor plates shall preferably be applied directly before lamination,
and while the epoxy caulking material is not completely cured, lamination on the floor
can proceed.
Application onto partly cured caulking will ensure optimal adhesion. Fully cured
caulking or coating must always be roughened to ensure optimal adhesion of the next
coat.
Page 283 of 389

In floating roof tanks, steel landing plates should be inserted under the support legs.
Landing plates(06 mm thick) are first prepared by blasting and priming on both sides,
and the lamination system is applied to one side only, and while still wet, washed sand
is sprinkled on the perimeter to provide for subsequent mechanical bond.
Work will start on the landing legs in the following manner:
1. The welds on the striker plate are caulked.
2. 2 or 3 hydraulic jacks are placed around the leg or timer spreaders, clear of the area
to be lined, and the roof is lifted about 15 cm. The pin holding the leg is removed,
and the leg is raised.
3. The area under the leg is cleaned with 80 disc grinder and removed of all dust and
contaminants.
4. The lining is applied so it extends 10 cm from the landing plate. The lining should
be resin rich in the center.
5. The prepared plate is placed, laminate side up, and forced slightly in the wet
laminate. The system is allowed to set, the leg is lowered, the pin replaced and the
jacks are released.
6. Any gaps between the landing plate and the striker plate should be filled with epoxy
caulking material.
3.5 Lamination
Onto rough conservation primed surface that is free of flash rusting and contamination.
1. A batch of Araldite® GY 257 / Aradur® 830 / Aradur® 850 laminating system is
mixed. Batch should preferably not exceed a total of 20 kg, in view of the pot life.
Immediately after mixture each batch is applied by paint roller onto the primed
surface. Start with a part of the vertical surface and then pass on to the adjoining
floor area. On vertical areas, add about 2 % of Aerosil 200 / Cabosil to the
laminating mix. Mix properly with an electric mixer, avoid air inclusion.
2. Immediately after this first application of the liquid system, place one layer of glass
mat (450 gm / m²) onto it and work the resin mix well through the glass mat, using
a metal disk or other laminating roller. This is to avoid entrapping air in the
laminate. An overlapping of approximately 5 cm between mat and strips gives
optimal results.
3. Onto the first layer of glass mat immediately apply a second layer of glass mat
according to steps 1 and 2.
4. Immediately after applying the second laminate layer, cover it with a surfacing
tissue(25-30 gm / m²) and work it gently into the wet laminate, using a metal disc
roller. Surfacing tissue is to prevent glass fibers of the mat from protruding through
the surface coat (see step 5).
5. After this last layer has cured to a tacky stage, roll on an ultimate abundant surface
or glaze coat of Araldite® GY 257 / Aradur® 830 / Aradur® 850 laminating system.

Important Notes :
Do not apply surface or glaze/gel coat before layer has cured to a tacky stage,
otherwise surfacing tissue will float up.
Allow the whole laminating lining to cure thoroughly for at least 3 days before
refilling the tank.
3.6 Lamination Application Sequence

Apply a generous amount of Araldite® GY 257 / Aradur® 830 / Aradur® 850 laminating
system (500 microns wet) on to primed steel surface, as evenly as possible.
Apply one layer of 450 gm/m² fiberglass chopped strand mat (CSM) onto the wet epoxy
mix.
Embed fully to remove wrinkles and roll with steel roller to remove trapped air. Add
resin where required and consolidate with steel roller.
Apply a second generous coating of Araldite® GY 257 / Aradur® 830 / Aradur® 850
laminating system.
Apply the second layer of 450 gm/m² fiberglass CSM with a 50 % of the nominal width
of the mat overlap on the previous layer in order to achieve a 2 layer system. Care
should be taken to ensure the second layer is overlapping the previous one with
untrimmed edge.
Repeat smoothing and rolling as in step above and add Araldite® GY 257 / Aradur® 830
/ Aradur® 850 laminating system if required.
Lay a surfacing tissue of 25-30 gm/m² in such a manner that it overlaps the mat without
aligning with mat edge, and ensuring that the strands of mat are not exposed or
protruding at the laminating surface.
Repeat smoothing and rolling as step above.
Let laminate cure to a tacky stage before applying the gel coat (observe recoating
intervals).
Page 285 of 389

Defect repair
Air inclusion should be cut out to a tapered edge, sanded around, and application of mat
and tissue carried out with an overlap of 50 mm on the sound laminate. If the over
coating interval cannot be observed then the overlap should be of 100 mm.
Overlaps of less than 30 mm should be patched with a strip 100 mm wide.
Areas where the laminate does not appear to be resin rich should be patched with an
extra layer of surface tissue and resin.

Apply 300 microns of Lam Araldite® GY 257 / Aradur® 830 / Aradur® 850 laminating
system
Page 286 of 389

A minimum overlap between adjacent strips of mat of 5 cm (2 inches) is required.

Surfacing tissue should encapsulate both fiber matt and should always be 5 cm longer.
This is true for shell plate edge also. During application of fiber matt on shell, resin sag
would be sometimes observed here another layer of resin might have to be applied.
Foreman should observe and check these areas again after 20 minutes.
Observe recoating intervals as shown in the table under point no. 3.4
After maximum time has elapsed; coat must be roughened (sand paper) to assure
adhesion.
When the glass fibre laminate system is hard (usually after 24 hours) apply one seal
coat of laminating resin system to a typical wet film thickness of 300 microns.
3.9 Final Inspection
Visual
Visually inspect the whole area and identify and mark any areas of dry matting or
contamination of any kind and any other defects.
Total Dry Film Thickness
The overall thickness should correspond to a ratio of resin/glass of 3:1 by weight. A
double layer plus surfacing tissue and gel coat should typically be min. 2500 microns.
Discontinuity Test
Check for holidays or porosities using high voltage spark tester equipment. Suggested
voltage as a rule of thumb is 100 V for 25 microns or as per NACE RPO 0188,
Standard recommended practice, Discontinuity Testing of Protective Coatings.
In the beginning we recommend first section should be tested for holiday prior to
application of gel coat, to ensure personnel’s as to application tactic and to find out if
there is any pinholes/ dry areas.
If any holiday or dry matt areas are found then follow the repair procedure.
3.10 Repair Procedure
Pinholes
Grind back the pinhole and minimal surrounding areas to bare metal substrate with a
tapered edge. Apply lamination system as explained above.
Dry Mat Areas
After identification of the repair area, remove the defective material back to the bare
metal substrate by grinding. Grind back the laminate around the repair with a tapered
edge.
Remove dust and contamination from the repair area with a solvent wipe. Apply the
repair laminate system as in accordance with step 1, 2 and 3.
Page 287 of 389

Glass protruding through Laminate (Wicking)

Fibreglass protrusion should be trimmed to the surface of the laminate and the
surrounding area abraded approx. 100 mm in diameter and then touched up with a
sealer coat of laminating system.
Burnt areas (Fiberglass system) due to welding
After marking this area, repair similar to dry matt area.
