representative from the coating manufacturer present to assist and witness the application
of each coating system. Further technical assistance from the coating manufacturer shall be
obtained by CONTRACTOR when problems arise or when COMPANY requests such
assistance.
3.9
Inorganic zinc primers may be used as preconstruction primers but weld bevels must be free
of all the primer before welding. This can be done by masking prior to coating, by grinding,
or by blasting before welding. The coating-free area shall extend a minimum of 2 inches
from the weld bevel.
3.10
CONTRACTOR's personnel shall be trained, competent and have experience in blasting,

spraying, and inspection. CONTRACTOR shall submit qualification records for personnel
engaged in these activities.

this AGREEMENT. CONTRACTOR shall provide replacement personnel at no additional cost.
SURFACE PREPARATION
4.1
4.2
4.3
Solvent Cleaning
4.1.1
All surfaces to be abrasive blasted, hand tool or power tool cleaned, and coated, shall
first be cleaned, as necessary, to remove all oil, grease, dirt, salts or other foreign
material. This cleaning shall be with an appropriate detergent and/or solvent.
4.1.2
Detergent or solvent cleaning shall be performed as outlined in SSPC-SP-1 (or NACE

equivalent) and is intended to clean the surface of all contaminants that would affect
the integrity of the coating system.
Hand Tool or Power Tool Cleaning

4.2.1
Written COMPANY approval is required before hand or power tool cleaning can be
substituted for abrasive blasting.
4.2.2
Hand tool cleaning or power tool cleaning, per SSPC-SP-2 and SSPC-SP-3 (or NACE
equivalent), shall remove all loose mill scale, rust or other foreign matter and is
required before coating surfaces where blasting is impracticable or undesirable. This
is intended to clean the surface of all contaminants that would affect the adhesion of
the primer.
4.2.3
A roughened surface shall be obtained; cleaning shall not burnish or polish the
surface.
4.2.4
The coating system primer shall be applied the same day that surfaces are cleaned
and before any visible rusting, discoloration or surface contamination occurs.
Abrasive Blasting

Page 3 of 19

4.3.1
All abrasive blasted surfaces shall, if necessary, be first solvent cleaned in

accordance with Paragraph 4.1 and then blasted in accordance with the SSPC or
NACE blast specified in the Coating System Data Sheet.
4.3.2
The anchor pattern shall be as specified in the Coating System Data Sheet.
4.3.3
Prior to the start of blasting, CONTRACTOR shall select an appropriate abrasive and
grit size to attain the specified anchor pattern. COMPANY may require CONTRACTOR
to demonstrate to COMPANY's satisfaction that the abrasive will provide the specified
anchor pattern. This shall be done by blasting a representative piece of steel and
measuring the anchor pattern using Press-O-Film tape or COMPANY approved equal.
Any change in the abrasive or grit size shall be qualified prior to use.
4.3.4
Prior to abrasive blasting, sharp corners and exterior edges shall be "broken", by
grinding, so that the coating will attain full coverage without flowing off. Slivers and
laminations shall be ground smooth. Weld areas shall be ground or chipped as
necessary to remove rust, residual flux and weld spatter. Weld and other crevices
must be filled with weld material or other material approved by the COMPANY.
4.3.5
When viewed without magnification, the blasted surface shall be sufficiently free of
visible mill scale, rust, corrosion, oxides, paint and other foreign matter to conform to
the specified Visual Standard (Section 2.0). Blotchy surfaces indicate incomplete
blasting and are not acceptable.
4.3.6
Any surface laps, scabs or seams exposed by blasting shall be reported immediately
to COMPANY and investigated by Magnaflux or dye penetrant prior to repair using
procedures approved by COMPANY.
4.3.7
Prior to abrasive blasting, all controls, valves, sight glasses, name tags, machinery,
electrical fixtures, etc., subject to damage from either the blast or the abrasive
material remaining in the item shall be properly protected. Metallic name tags on
pipe fittings and other equipment shall be removed before blasting.
4.3.8
All electroplated, metallized or other specially coated items or materials shall not be
blasted.
4.3.9
Blasting shall be accomplished so that previously painted surfaces are not

contaminated by abrasive.
4.3.10 The compressed air shall be free of water and oil. Separators or traps shall be
provided and properly maintained and shall be kept emptied of water and oil. The air
supply shall be tested daily for cleanliness using a white cloth or blotter paper test
per Section 6.1.
4.3.11 Only dry grit abrasives shall be used. The abrasive shall be used in accordance with
the manufacturer's specifications and shall contain no impurities. Sufficient pressure
and/or velocity to obtain the required anchor profile shall be provided.
4.3.12 No acid washes, cleaning solutions or solvents shall be used on metal surfaces after
blasting. This includes any inhibitive washes intended to prevent rusting.
4.3.13 Blasted surfaces shall be brushed, blown or vacuumed to remove all dust, and are
subject to COMPANY's approval prior to priming.

Page 4 of 19

4.3.14 Blasted surfaces meeting the specified surface preparation requirements shall be
painted with the specified first coat/primer the same day as they are blasted and
before any visible rusting, discoloration or other surface contamination occurs.
4.3.15 A minimum of 4 inches inside the edge of blasted areas shall be left unprimed unless
adjoining a coated surface, or the entire surface will be blasted and primed the same
day. Subsequent blasting shall continue a minimum of 1 inch into the primed
surface. These requirements are to ensure that no coating is applied over unblasted
metal. The rough edge of the blasted coating shall then be feather edged as
described in Paragraph 4.3.16.
4.3.16 When the coating is damaged down to the steel and spot touch-up is necessary,
these areas shall be spot cleaned by blasting or by power tool. All of the loose or
damaged coating shall be removed. "Over-blast" shall be prevented by using
shields, e.g., canvas or vacuum blasting equipment. After the metal surface has been
properly cleaned, the coated area around the cleaned area shall be feather-edged.
Feather-edging shall be by power or hand sanding with sandpaper. The surface shall
be free of loose, burnt or blistered coating. Damage which does not extend to the
steel shall be repaired by coating per the Coating System requirements.
4.3.17 No blasting shall be performed on wet surfaces, when the relative humidity is greater
than 85% or when the metal temperature is less than 5F above dew point.
4.4
5.0
Galvanized and Aluminum Surfaces

4.4.1
All galvanized and aluminum surfaces which are specified to be painted shall be
pretreated with a vinyl butyral wash primer as specified in the Coating System.
4.4.2
Galvanized pieces, such as gratings, which will be installed over coated steel
surfaces, will interfere with painting and shall not be installed prior to painting the
underlying steel. If the galvanized pieces must be installed before painting, they shall
first be wash-primed per Paragraph 4.4.1 and coated with the same intermediate
coating as the underlying steel. In all ases, the underlying steel shall be abrasive
blasted and primed prior to installing the galvanized steel.
COATING APPLICATION
5.1
General Application Requirements

5.1.1
Surfaces shall be clean, dust free and dry before application of any coating and shall
meet applicable hand, power tool or abrasive blast surface preparation requirements
before priming.
5.1.2
All coating done outdoors shall be done in daylight hours and be completed at least
one hour prior to sundown. Indoor coating is allowed 24 hours a day if the specified
metal and air temperatures and relative humidity requirements are met inside the
building at all times during cleaning, coating and curing.
5.1.3
No coating shall be applied on wet surfaces, when the relative humidity is above the
manufacturer's written recommendations, or when the temperature of the metal is
less than 5F above the dew point.
5.1.4
All coating materials shall be furnished in the original manufacturer's unopened

containers, clearly identifiable, and shall be kept covered, clean and protected.

Page 5 of 19

Materials exceeding the manufacturer's recommended shelf life, or which may
exceed the shelf life before use, shall not be used and shall be removed from the Job
Site.
5.1.5
All coating WORK shall be done in strict compliance with the coating manufacturer's
printed data sheets. CONTRACTOR shall have copies of these data sheets available
for COMPANY'S review at the Job Site.
5.1.6
Coatings shall not be applied when the ambient temperature is below 50F without
COMPANY's written approval.
CONTRACTOR shall obtain and follow the
manufacturer's recommendations for drying and curing times at all temperatures.
5.1.7
All components shall be mechanically and thoroughly stirred before coating for such
time as necessary to ensure that the pigment, vehicles and thinners are thoroughly
mixed. The mixed coatings shall be continuously stirred during application by
mechanical spray pot agitators or other approved means if required by the
manufacturer or COMPANY. All mixing shall be done in clean containers, free from
traces of grease, other coatings or other contaminants. All containers shall be kept
covered to prevent contamination by dust, dirt, rain, etc.
5.1.8
Multicomponent coatings, such as inorganic zinc, epoxies and urethanes, shall have
the components accurately measured according to the manufacturer's directions.
This is critical to attain proper curing.
5.1.9
The coating manufacturer's recommended pot life shall not be exceeded, and when
this limit is reached, the spray pot must be emptied and cleaned, the coating
destroyed and new coating mixed.
5.1.10 Each coat shall be applied uniformly and completely over the entire surface. Care
shall be exercised to prevent overspray, spillage or application of coatings to
surfaces for which they are not intended. Skips, sags and drips shall be avoided.
Holidays at edges, corners, welds and inaccessible areas shall be prevented by first
hand brushing an additional layer of top coat prior to spray application of the primer
coat or between the first and second coats.
5.1.11 Coatings shall be applied in not less than the number of coats specified and shall
have individual coat dry film thicknesses not less than the minimum thickness
specified. All coating film thicknesses shall be checked, strictly adhered to and shall
be free of pinholes, voids, bubbles and other defects. Film thicknesses are to be
measured with a wet film gauge during application. Film thicknesses shall be verified,
checked and maintained during and after each application of each individual coat.
Thickness requirements shall be met with each coat and if too thin, the total
thickness shall not be "made-up" in any one coat i.e., another coat shall be applied.
Where film thicknesses do not meet specifications and/or defects (holidays) are
found, corrective action shall be taken by CONTRACTOR to the satisfaction of
COMPANY.
5.1.12 Dry film thicknesses shall be within the range specified in the Coating System Data
Sheets unless otherwise specified by COMPANY in writing.
5.1.13 All coatings shall be allowed to dry thoroughly for at least the minimum time
recommended by the manufacturer, considering temperature and humidity, before
applying succeeding coats. When a maximum overcoat time is recommended by the
manufacturer, it shall not be exceeded before applying the succeeding coat.

Page 6 of 19

5.1.14 Prior to the application of any coat, all damage to previous coats shall be repaired.
5.1.15 Each coat (primer, intermediate coat(s) and top coat) shall be inspected by
CONTRACTOR and may be inspected by COMPANY before applying further coats.
5.1.16 Coatings shall not be applied when the wind speed exceeds 15 miles per hour.
5.2
5.3
Spray Application
5.2.1
Moisture traps shall be installed in the air supply line from the compressor and at the
pressure pot or other locations as deemed necessary. Traps shall continually bleed
off any water or oil from the air supply. The air supply shall be tested for cleanliness
using a white cloth test per Section 6.1.
5.2.2
Adjustments to the pump pressure regulator and changing the gun tip size are the
only methods to adjust the atomization of paint to assure proper paint wetting on the
surface.
5.2.3
CONTRACTOR's applicators shall have been trained and be competent in the proper
application technique for each coating. Applicators failing to meet this requirement,
to the COMPANY or coating manufacturer's satisfaction, shall be removed from
coating application.
5.2.4
For large surfaces, the spray gun shall be held at right angles to the surface, and
shall be 12 inches from the surface being coated. Even passes parallel to the surface
shall be made without arcing the spray gun.
5.2.5
In application of the material, one coat of coating shall mean the application of two
fully wet passes, each pass overlapping the previous pass by 50% to accomplish
uniform hiding. In large areas the two passes shall be applied at right angles to each
other (crosshatched).
5.2.6
Pumps, lines, spray guns and tips shall be periodically cleaned to remove all partially
or fully reacted solids.
5.2.7
Coatings containing chlorinated solvents such as methylene chloride and

1,1,1-trichloriethane shall not be applied using aluminum equipment. Chlorinated
solvents react with aluminum and explosions can result from pressure buildup in
enclosed equipment.
Brush or Roller Application

5.3.1
Coatings shall be brushed or rolled on all areas which cannot be properly spray
coated for any reason. COMPANY's written approval is required before brush or roller
application can be substituted for spray application.
5.3.2
Brushes and rollers shall be of the type, style and quality that will ensure proper
application of materials. Note: Epoxy mastics and epoxy phenolics should not be
applied by roller.
5.3.3
Paint shall be worked into all crevices and corners. All runs or sags shall be brushed
out immediately.

Page 7 of 19

5.4
Application of Inorganic Zinc Primer
6.0
5.4.1
Inorganic zinc primers shall only be applied by spraying. The paint adduction supply
to the airless pump shall be continuously stirred by a mechanical agitator at a speed
sufficient to keep the zinc in suspension.
5.4.2
All welds and edges shall be brushed and sprayed.
5.4.3
Inorganic zinc primers shall be applied in a full, wet coat which allows flow out. This
is to prevent dry spray which gives an excessively porous surface, lowering life and
making top coating difficult.
5.4.4
The maximum inorganic zinc primer dry film thickness shall be 5 mils in order to
prevent mudcracking. Thicker coats shall be removed by blasting and recoated to the
specified thickness.
5.4.5
Final cleaning of post-cured inorganic zinc primers shall be done by sweep blasting
the coated surface. Removal of white deposits is required prior to top coating.
Complete cleaning is critical to ensure adhesion of subsequent coats.
INSPECTION
CONTRACTOR shall perform all inspections necessary to assure that surface preparation and
coating application complies with the requirements of this Specification. The WORK shall be
subject to COMPANY inspection. The indicated records shall be kept daily and shall be submitted to
COMPANY daily and again at the completion of the job. Form EF-844 shall be used to record this
information. As a minimum, CONTRACTOR shall perform inspection per Paragraphs 6.1, 6.2 and
6.3.
6.1
Compressed Air
CONTRACTOR shall verify the cleanliness of each compressed air supply twice daily by
discharging without grit or coating into a white cloth or blotter paper for 20 seconds. If oil or
water appears on the cloth or paper, all traps and separators shall be blown down until
subsequent 20-second cloth or blotter paper tests show no further oil or water.
6.2
6.3
Surface Preparation Inspection

Blasted surfaces shall be inspected by the following methods to verify that the specified
surface preparation has been achieved.
6.2.1
Verify the anchor pattern using Testex Inc. "Press-O-Film" tape or COMPANY approved
equal. The measurements shall be recorded on Form EF 844 and submitted to
COMPANY.
6.2.2
Verify the degree of cleanliness by comparison to the appropriate Visual Standard as

specified in Sections 2. The cleanliness shall be recorded on Form EF 844 and
submitted to COMPANY.
Coating Application Inspection

Coatings shall be inspected by the following methods to verify that the specified quality and
thickness have been achieved.
6.3.1
At the beginning of each day's operation and again immediately prior to any coating,
the ambient temperature, the temperature of the surface to be coated, the surface

Page 8 of 19

preparation cleanliness and anchor pattern (for surfaces to be primed that day), the
relative humidity, and the dew point shall be measured and recorded. COMPANY
may verify that no moisture is present on the surface. These items shall be recorded
on Form EF-844 and submitted to COMPANY.
6.4
6.5
6.3.2
Dry film thicknesses shall be measured using a "mikrotest" magnetic film thickness
gauge or COMPANY approved equal. The dry film thickness gauge shall be calibrated
to COMPANY's satisfaction at the beginning of coating WORK and thereafter
regularly, or whenever COMPANY requests recalibration. Calibration shall be made
by comparison with the dry film thickness measured on known standards such as a
micrometer-measured paint film or National Bureau of Standards Calibration
Standards for Coating Thickness Gages. Inspection of Dry Film Thickness should be
in accordance with SSPC PA2 standards or equivalent. Dry film thicknesses for each
coat as well as for the total thickness of each finished coating system shall be
recorded on Form EF-844 and submitted to COMPANY.
6.3.3
The completed coating shall be checked for pinholes, holidays, and thin spots. For
coatings up to 20 mils DFT, a 67 volt, wet sponge-type detector (using a suitable
wetting agent) shall be used. For thicker films, a high voltage spark-type apparatus
set at 100 volts/mil of thickness shall be used.
6.3.4
Areas containing holidays shall be brushed coated and retested for holidays.
Detected holidays, correction and final holiday-free inspection shall be recorded on
Form EF-844 and submitted to COMPANY. If holidays cannot be repaired by brush
coating, the area shall be blasted to bare metal, recoated with the same system and
retested for holidays.
COMPANY's Inspector
6.4.1
COMPANY's inspector shall be given at least four (4) hours notice prior to starting of
any surface preparation and/or coating application.
6.4.2
COMPANY shall be the final judge of the acceptability of surface preparation and
coating application.
6.4.3
If COMPANY's inspector believes the WORK is not being performed in accordance with
this Specification, he has the authority to stop WORK until compliance is attained.
This shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of the responsibility to complete the WORK within
the overall job schedule.
Coating Manufacturer
The coating manufacturer's representative shall have access to the Job Site during the
WORK to perform any inspection and testing deemed necessary to ensure that the coatings
are properly applied.

TABLE TWO
ABRASIVE PROFILE COMPARATIVE TABLE
The following table should be used only for approximating the abrasive size required to obtain a specified
anchor pattern. This information can be used for centrifugal wheel as well as pressure blasting. Pressure
blasting should be done using 90-100 psi nozzle pressure. The depth of anchor pattern used in this table
is an average and not a minimum or maximum depth obtainable.
