1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. This specification is applicable to all contracts for painting work performed at the
expense of SIDMAR.
1.2. This specification is applicable to all painting work that must be performed on
SIDMAR installations, both inside and outside their boundaries, by non-SIDMAR
companies or persons who are not SIDMAR employees. This specification is to be
regarded as an extension to general specifications (Algemeen Bestek) ABE-001
and ABE-003 (in the versions stated on the order sheet).
1.3. This specification constitutes an entity, and in general it specifies directions that
are to be strictly observed. This does not affect the fact that painters must respect
the generally accepted and known rules of the art. The technical description
appended to the request for quotation and/or order is based on this specification
and shall refer to this specification.
1.4. The attention of the contractor is in particular drawn to the need for strict
compliance with the general provisions of the work regulations (standing
employment conditions) and the ARAB (general regulations for industrial safety,
hygiene and health), as well as the SIDMAR safety regulations and terms and
conditions of operation. If despite having received written warning a contractor
does not immediately take the necessary actions to comply with the safety
regulations, the principal reserves the right, on his own initiative, to perform such
work as may be necessary to ensure the safety of the personnel and installations,
at the cost and risk of the contractor. If the contractor fails to comply with these
provisions and remarks in this regard are made by safety agents or
representatives of SIDMAR, the contractor must do everything possible to comply
with these provisions; otherwise the work will be suspended, with all resulting
additional costs to be borne by the contractor.
1.5. No painting work may be performed on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays

unless prior permission for this is explicitly given on the order sheet.
1.6. This specification is not restrictive in its description; rather, it always demands of
the contractor that the work be done according to the rules of the art in order to
obtain the best results.
2. GENERAL PROVISIONS
2.1. The contractor is considered to be acquainted with the material to be painted,

including its condition and intended use, the condition of the surface in all of its
parts, the operational circumstances, the environment, etc. In short, the contractor
is considered to be acquainted with all factors necessary to prepare a
knowledgeable offer.

2.2. The contractor shall prepare his bid in accordance with the request issued by the
principal, based on the directions described below and those specified in the
special provisions. A coating system differing from the proposed system may
optionally be submitted for consideration.
2.3. A contractor who accepts an order undertakes to fully and unconditionally respect
the general and technical provisions governing performance of the work.
2.4. For certain methods of work regarding preparation or painting of the surface that
are left to the initiative of the contractor, the contractor must submit such methods
to the principal for prior approval.
2.5. It is the duty of the contractor to advise the principal in writing of every
circumstance in conflict with the provisions of the technical regulations if any such
circumstance exists when the offer is tendered or arises while the work is being
performed, or if compliance with any provision or regulation of any sort is impaired
by such circumstance. If the contractor has failed to act in accordance with this
responsibility, such circumstances may not be used as arguments for accepting
deficient work.
2.6. The contractor shall at all times allow the performance of his work to be inspected
by technical representatives of SIDMAR and the specified suppliers of coating
materials, as well as by inspectors of inspection bodies designated by SIDMAR,
without such inspections thereby reducing the responsibility of the contractor. The
inspection body shall have full say in the work of the painting contractor and shall
be able to intervene directly in this work.
If the work is found to be unsatisfactory as the result of such inspections, the
contractor shall make the necessary repairs at his own expense. Following this,
the principal shall request a new inspection by the inspection body. The costs of
this re-inspection shall be borne by the contractor.
2.7. All remarks, recommendations and desiderata shall be submitted directly to the
contractor or his site manager in writing, and they shall be acted upon precisely
and immediately.
2.8. The contractor shall inform the SIDMAR representative or his deputy:
a) when starting new work or resuming work;
b) each time before starting to apply a new coat, so that a daily inspection can be
made;
c) when the work is finished;
d) in this regard, refer also to the detailed description of how the work is to be
started.

2.9. An independent body acting on the orders of both parties is to be designated by

the parties to act as sole adjudicator for settling all disputes or questions of
interpretation with regard to the present contract, its annexes and the purchase
orders. In the event of failure to comply with the directions stipulated by the
inspection body within the specified period, the agreement shall be dissolved in
part or in its entirety by action of law and at the expense of the contractor, without
such action in any way restricting the right of the principal to claim compensation
for damage. This explicitly binding stipulation does not deprive the principal of his
right to choose between compulsory performance and dissolving the agreement,
which shall be communicated by means of a registered letter.
2.10. If after placement of the order the contractor has begun the work later than what
was planned and/or has not begun the work, and/or there is not sufficient time to
perform the work in accordance with the agreement, and/or the requested date has
passed and operational demands make it impossible to perform the assigned
work, the agreement shall be dissolved by SIDMAR by action of law at the
expense and cost of the contractor, who shall thus no longer be entitled to possibly
perform the assigned work at a later date.
2.11. The contractor shall submit evidence of adequate insurance for paint damage
suffered by third parties, without thereby relieving the contractor of his contractual
liability with respect to SIDMAR as regards possible damage to the property of
SIDMAR. The term third parties is understood to include SIDMAR employees.
2.12. The contractor shall take the necessary measures to prevent damage to or
contamination of surrounding installations and the property of third parties and
SIDMAR, especially when performing spray-painting and sandblasting work. These
measures include, among others, checking the wind direction, rinsing the spraying
equipment in a closed circuit, covering the working area with drop cloths, etc.
2.13. All damage to installations resulting from painting work must be repaired or
compensated at the expense of the contractor.
2.14. Damage to neighbouring installations resulting from abrasive blasting shall be

repaired as promptly as possible, taking the coating system used into account.
2.15. Damage to neighbouring installations, measurement equipment, any sort of display

or indicator, pump shutoff valves, piping, light fixtures, insulation, thermal insulation
material, etc. due to paint splashes, drips or the like must be repaired immediately,
and certainly before the paint has dried. The degreaser approved by the
agreement shall be used for this purpose. Nothing prevents the contractor from
adequately protecting all of these objects before commencing the work.
2.16. Identification plates of accessories, as well as all moveable parts and guideway
surfaces, shall not be allowed to be covered by paint or damaged by abrasive
blasting work.
2.17. Remarks made by the SIDMAR supervisor are to be acted upon without further
comment; otherwise the work will be suspended immediately.

2.18. SIDMAR reserves the right to demand immediate withdrawal of a worker or site
manager employed by the contractor if such person shows himself incompetent to
perform the work, does not comply with remarks or advice, or does not comply with
the provisions of the ABE-003 specification in the version stated on the order
sheet. The contractor shall promptly replace any such person without thereby
imposing any costs on SIDMAR.
2.19. Cleaning up abrasive media
a. Roadways and pathways must be cleaned up daily by the painting contractor.
b. On completion of the work and preferably while the work is in progress, the
contractor shall clean up the installations and any surrounding installations.
This must be done at all times on the simple request of SIDMAR.
c. SIDMAR shall be responsible for cleaning up accumulated abrasive media on

the ground, flat roofs and/or large work floors.
d. On completion of the work, the contractor shall leave the site in a fully
cleaned-up state (including removing sand and other rubbish), without leaving
behind any items belonging to him (such as paint pots, brushes, ropes, etc.).
This also applies to instances of prolonged interruption of the work.
If this provision is not satisfied within one week of completion of the work, the
painter shall be given written notice of default and SIDMAR shall order a
clean-up at the expense of the contractor found to be in default.
2.20. Damage Responsibilities
Before starting the work, the contractor is obliged by the Principal to prepare a
detailed written description of the condition of the installation and have it confirmed
by a responsible person from the requesting department. If this is not done and
costs arising from damage to the installations must be borne by the Principal after
the work is done, such costs will be charged directly to the contractor without any
form of recourse.
2.21. Directions to be followed when starting a job
Note: In the event of negligence or failure to comply with the following directions,
the planned work will not be allowed to start, and should it nevertheless be
started, it will be stopped immediately and without recourse, with all
associated consequences to be borne by the contractor.
Directions
a) The painter must meet with the requesting department and the site
compliance office at least five days before the start of blasting or painting
work.
The following items will be discussed at this meeting:
1. - site layout
- work distribution, planning, and schedule
- classification of work zones

- working methods
- maintaining a daily log
2a.On this occasion, the work permit will also be prepared by the requesting
department and issued to the contractor, who must additionally comply with
the directions of ABE-003 in the version stated on the order sheet.
2b.The following directions apply to maintaining a daily log:
The contractor shall at all times personally monitor and measure the following
parameters and record them in the daily log:
relative humidity (before starting work and when the work is started)
dew point (as above)
metal temperature (as above)
the film thicknesses of the applied coatings (wet and dry film thickness)
Note that it is essential to have good meteorological conditions before starting

the work, and these conditions must be recorded in the daily log, along with
the time when they were measured, before the work is actually started.
3. Defining and discussing demarcation of the hazard zone and any re-routing
of roadways that may be necessary.
The official painting work (Schilderwerken) notice will also be prepared by
the requesting department at this time.
4. Defining restrictions with regard to abrasive blasting work.
b) Practical implementation of the previously discussed items when starting the

work.
1. With regard to the above-mentioned items a.1 and a.2, refer to the
provisions of specification ABE-003 (in the version stated on the order
sheet).
2. For item a.3:
The contractor shall place traffic signs, barricades, and marker ribbons
(red/white striped) as necessary to block off:
- car parks,
- and/or the discussed roadway detours,
as stated on the official notice. The necessary material is available from the
GBD - Maintenance department (tel. 3790-3792) and is to be obtained
there on site by the contractor.
After the areas to be blocked off, as previously agreed and marked on the
official notice, have been properly barricaded or marked and the necessary
notices have been placed on signs (with regard to duration, alternate
parking locations, etc.), the contractor shall inform the plant security office
(Post 1, tel. 3691). The plant security office shall immediately conduct a
tour with the contractor to confirm compliance with blocking off the areas
specified on the official notice and posting the traffic regulations.

After inspection and approval of the above, the contractor shall present the
work permit to the plant security office for signature.
3. Temporary removal of barriers for reasons other than nights and weekends.
If the work is interrupted (due to rain, for example), the contractor must
remove the barriers from the blocked-off areas and render the posted traffic
signs ineffective. When resuming work, the contractor must again restore
the barriers or markings after consultation with the requesting department.
c) All machinery used by the contractor that can impair traffic in any manner
whatsoever must be readily visible during and after work and must be clearly
marked.
d) If abrasive media that ends up on the road surface can cause any sort of
traffic hazard, the contractor must on his own initiative place slip hazard and
10 km/h max. road signs (available from the GBD - Maintenance department)
for traffic in both directions.
e) Before the work is started, a list containing the following information must be
submitted to Security Post 1:
- company name
- products being used
- correct location
- paint supplier
f) Fire-fighting materials must be present close to where the painting work is

being performed. SIDMAR resources may possibly be used for this purpose
(but only after consultation with the responsible person).
g) The technical specifications and material safety data sheets for the products
being used by the contractor must be available and must remain on the work
site as long as the work is in progress.
3. PERFORMANCE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON PLACEMENT OF THE ORDER
3.1. Paint
The contractor for the painting work shall purchase and store the necessary
quantities of paint (stored in a dry, frost-free, cool and well ventilated location).
When delivering the paint to the site, the contractor shall first have the delivered
paints inspected by the Sidmar supervisor with regard to quantity and proper
condition of the packages and labels.
Containers must not be opened before actual use. All containers must be sealed
when they are delivered to the site.
Paint containers must be clearly marked by the supplier, and the markings must
remain legible until after the containers have been used.
When they are delivered, these packages must be labelled in conformance with
the applicable statutory provisions. The individual components of multi-component
paints are to be stored separately.

After each job has been completed, the SIDMAR supervisor and the contractor will
jointly check whether any paint is left over.
3.2. Personnel
On confirmation of the order, the contractor shall submit for approval the names of
the site supervisor and painters he intends to employ to perform the work.
SIDMAR shall provide the contractor with an access card in the form of a badge for
each employee assigned to perform the work.
The employees employed to do the work must leave the SIDMAR site no later than
30 minutes after the end of normal working hours.
In the event of failure to comply with these provisions, the contractor shall on his
own initiative provide a written explanation of the reason; otherwise the employees
in question will be denied access to SIDMAR for an indefinite time.
SIDMAR reserves the right to question the contractors site supervisor with regard
to the requirements imposed on performing the assigned work.
If this does not yield a satisfactory result, the contractor shall be notified that he is
in default in this regard, and consideration may be given to the option of
suspending the work until the supervisor is question is replaced.
3.3. Use of scaffolding
Use of scaffolding is subject to the provisions of General Specification ABE-007 (in

the most recent version).

4. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
4.1. General
4.1.1.For the best possible quality, careful preparation of the surfaces to be

painted is essential.
These surfaces must always be completely dry and free of welding spatter,
rust, dust, grease, oil, and other contamination before the paint coats are
applied. To this end, the surface shall always be cleaned using a suitable
solvent in accordance with the SSPC-XP1 standard, a high-pressure water
stream (60 bar minimum), or steam.
4.1.2.If the surface of the steel is exposed to a polluted environment, such as an

atmosphere containing a high concentration of salts, it shall first be cleaned
with pure water before any other surface preparation is performed, such as
de-rusting or abrasive blasting.
4.1.3.After pre-treatment of the surface of the steel, the blasting grit, dust and the
like must be thoroughly removed, after which a primer coat is to be applied
no later than three hours after de-rusting and before any noticeable rust or
contamination has again formed on the surface of the steel.
4.1.4.In specifically identified zones where there is a risk of gas explosion or dust
explosion, only non-sparking mechanical tools are be used. As the de-
rusting grade can never be expected to be ST3 in such areas, ST2 is
designated as the standard to be attained. The primer coat is to be chosen
to match the pre-treatment, rather than selecting the pre-treatment to
correspond to the capabilities of the primer.
4.1.5.Work performed on the construction site: each coat must be applied

separately using a brush and/or roller, unless otherwise directed or agreed
in consultation with the department manager.
Primer coat: the primer coat must be applied using a brush. The remainder
of the structure of the coating system can be applied using a roller and/or
brush. Work performed in workshops: spraying can always be used, but
only after all welds, sharp edges, edges, corners, etc. have first been
painted. This applies to all coats.
4.1.6.It is essential to avoid condensation of water on the abrasive-blasted

surface.
4.1.7. If existing paint coatings are not abrasive blasted, they must be thoroughly
scoured and/or brush-off blasted, with deep blasting on already corroded
areas.
4.1.8. All new welds must be abrasive blasted and then coated using the full
coating system as specified (vacublast is to be used on pipes.)
Deviation from manual de-rusting to ST 3 is only possible if written
approval by the order administrator is granted before the order is
awarded.

4.1.9. If abrasive blasting is not possible, the surface must be thoroughly de-
rusted by hand to ST 3 cleanliness grade and the specified surface
roughness, with a minimum of 50 microns or otherwise as described in the
technical specifications of the paint supplier (on condition that written
approval has been granted by the order administrator).
4.1.10. All black-iron bolts must be abrasive blasted and coated using the specified
paint system (galvanised bolts are thus excepted from this rule).
4.1.11. All worn areas must be thoroughly dusted before any paint is applied.
4.1.12. Sharp edges must be rounded off (according to ISO 12944-3, pp. 1213:
2-mm radius for all cut and welded edges, drilled holes, etc.).
4.2. Surface preparation
4.2.1 Unpainted material
Various types of surface preparation are possible, such as manual de-

rusting, dry blasting, grit blasting, wet blasting, etc.
We generally prefer grit blasting unless otherwise specified in the technical
requirements specification of the request for quotation, in which case the
method specified there is to be used.
Note: The contractor must thoroughly wash and degrease the surface
before performing any sort of de-rusting treatment. This is to be done
using water under high pressure (p = 6080 bar, T = 60 C) and a
detergent, following which the treated area is to be thoroughly rinsed
with clean water.
a) Thorough manual de-rusting and removal of mill scale
Practically all rust, mill scale and gross contamination must be

removed from the surface using manual or machine de-rusting.
The treatment consists of:
- Thoroughly chipping off oxides, gross contamination and loose mill

scale using all suitable means, whether manual or mechanical,
including rotary brushes, sanding sponges, sandpaper, scaling
hammers with needles, etc.
The use of putty knives is prohibited.
This treatment must never cause the treated areas to become
polished; in other words, a certain amount of surface roughness
must always be retained, in particular with a value of least
50 microns (Rz), with a maximum of 80 microns (Rz).
- Dust off the surface under vacuum using dry compressed air.
- The end result must correspond to the Swedish St 3 cleanliness

grade (in accordance with ISO 8501-1:1988), and the de-rusted
areas are to show a distinct metallic sheen.
The paint must be applied as quickly as possible, and in particular

within three hours after de-rusting of the surface to be treated.

b) Thorough de-rusting using dry sandblasting with materials such as

sand, cork, pits, or sponge
The surface of the steel must be thoroughly de-rusted using a clean

and completely dry abrasive media projected by compressed air that is
free of water and oil.
To obtain dry compressed air, the compressed air system must be

fitted with an aftercooler with adequate capacity relative to the size of
the system.
(Refer to the technical specifications of the compressor and
aftercooler.)
The abrasive media is to be selected to obtain a surface roughness

compliant with the paint system to be applied and in accordance with
the technical specifications of the paint suppliers.
- Grinding off surface irregularities such as folds, burrs, cutting marks,

welding splash, welding beads, etc.
- Abrasive blasting using compressed air to achieve complete de-

rusting, removal of mill scale and other contamination.
- Dust off the surface using vacuum or compressed air free of water
and oil. The final result obtained in this manner is comparable to a
de-rusting grade of SA 2.5 according to the Swedish SIS standards
(in accordance with ISO 8501-1:1988), with a minimum surface
roughness of 50 microns (Rz) and a maximum of 80 microns (or as
otherwise specified in the technical specifications of the paint
supplier).
Check for the presence of mill scale by moistening the surface with
white spirit or using the Cu SO4 test.
The paint must be applied within a short period, and no later than three
hours after de-rusting.
c) White blasting using grit blasting
This method is always to be used by preference unless otherwise

stated in the request for quotation or the order.
The surface of the steel must be made completely white using a clean
and completely dry abrasive media.
The compressed air system must be fitted with an aftercooler with

adequate capacity relative to the size of the system, and the
compressor must be a screw-type compressor.
(Refer to the technical specifications for the compressor and

aftercooler.)

The abrasive media is to be selected to obtain a surface roughness

compliant with the paint system to be applied. The treatment consists
of:

welding splash, etc.
- Grit blasting using compressed air free of water and oil such that
inspection of the surface using a magnifying glass or CuSO4 test
does not reveal the slightest trace of rust, mill scale or other
contamination after it has been treated.
- Dusting off the surface using vacuum or compressed air free of

water and oil.
Vacuum dusting is mandatory for flat horizontal surfaces larger than

50 m.
The final result obtained in this manner corresponds to the SA 2.5

cleanliness grade (in accordance with ISO 8501-1:1988) as specified in
the Swedish SIS standards, with a minimum surface roughness
between 50 and 80 microns (Rz).
The paint must be applied within a short period, and no later than three
hours after de-rusting.
d) White blasting using wet sandblasting (hydro-jet)
The surface of the steel must be completely whitened using an

abrasive media projected by pressurised water.

welding splash, etc.
- Projecting the abrasive media using passivated water (water treated

by adding a rust inhibitor) under pressure, such that inspection of
the surface using a magnifying glass or CuSO4 testing does not
reveal the slightest trace of rust, mill scale or other contamination
after the surface has been treated.
- Rinsing with passivated water.
- Inspection of the white-blasted surface, followed by touch-up work

as necessary and re-rinsing. The final result obtained in this manner
corresponds to the SA 3 de-rusting grade as specified in the
Swedish SIS standards and a surface roughness in accordance with
the product to be used.
The paint is applied to the surface when it is completely dry, but at

most 24 hours after it has been whitened.
At the time when the paint is applied, the condition of he surface must
still meet the requirements of the SA 2.5 standard.

4.2.2. Previously painted material
Here again various types of pre-treatment are possible. Our preference is

for thorough manual de-rusting and/or brush-off blasting, or as
otherwise stated in the requirements specification of the request for
quotation.
Note: The contractor must thoroughly wash and degrease the surface
before starting manual or mechanical de-rusting. This is to be done
using water under high pressure (p = 6080 bar, T = 60 C) and a
detergent, following which the treated area is to be thoroughly rinsed
with clean water.
a) Thorough manual de-rusting
The surface of the material must be cleaned down to solid metal by

fully removing all corrosion products (powdery, scabby and scaly rust,
loosely bonded mill scale, etc), old paint in poor condition (poorly
attached, flaking, blistered, cracked, etc.) and the various sorts of
contamination.
- Whitening the steel to grade St 3 at all eroded and heavily damaged

locations using all suitable means, whether manual or mechanical,
including scrapers, hammers with rotary brushes, sanding sponges,
scaling hammers with needles, etc.
These treatments can be replaced by brush-off blasting the surface

to be painted, with deep blasting to SA 2.5 on corroded areas.
Always use items 2 and 4 after manual de-rusting and brush-off

blasting (see lists in Annex 8).
- Putty knives are prohibited.
- Lightly smooth the entire surface using sandpaper or steel wool.
- Remove the dust using vacuum or dry compressed air.
The paint is to be applied, either in the form of touching up or coating

the entire surface, within a short period but always within the same day
on which the de-rusting is done. All areas that are manually de-rusted
must be fully coated with paint on the same day.
b) For other types of preparation: see Section 4.2.1 (new, unpainted

material).

4.3. Performing the painting work
4.3.1.1.Paint can only be applied to completely clean, dry, degreased and dust-
free surfaces. This applies to the application of each layer.
This must be achieved as follows:
. Degrease using warm water under pressure with added detergent.
. Thoroughly rinse using clean water.
. Remove any contamination that may be present, even if this requires

scraping off the contaminated area and touching it up.
. Touch up any damaged areas using all previously applied paint layers.
4.3.1.2.All preservation activities (including surface preparation work) shall always be

performed with a steel surface temperature at least 3 C above the dew point.
4.3.1.3.In addition, the relative humidity shall not exceed 85% unless products are used
that can tolerate values greater than this according to their technical
specifications.
The work shall always be postponed if one or more of these conditions is not met,
unless explicit written permission is granted by the responsible Sidmar manager (as
recorded in the daily log).
4.3.1.4.Preparatory surface treatment (pre-blasting) is allowed under non-compliant

meteorological conditions, but it must always be followed by final reworking under
good conditions.
4.3.1.5.During the performance of the work, the contractor shall always ascertain that
good meteorological conditions are present. The following calibrated
measurement equipment is required for this purpose:
relative humidity gauge
dew point gauge
surface thermometer
4.3.2. Preparation of the surface and application of the first coat of paint must
occur in regular sequence within a short period, and as a matter of principle
on the same day.
4.3.3. The necessary precautions must be taken to avoid contamination of the

freshly applied paint by dust or grit arising from de-rusting.
4.3.4. Unless otherwise specified in connection with the order, all coats of paint
must be applied using paintbrushes in good condition that are compatible
with the type of paint used and the shape of the material to be painted, and
which have very short handles (50 cm max.).
4.3.5. To obtain good filling of surface irregularities, the primer coats must always
be applied using a brush. Rollers can only be used for the second coat and
following coats. Spray painting is also prohibited at SIDMAR as a matter of

principle, although it can be used with the approval of the order

administrator.
4.3.6. Any deviation from these provisions must be documented in an explicit

written approval issued by the principal.
4.3.7. The paint is to be mixed mechanically with full dispersion of the pigments
until the composition of the paint is fully homogeneous.
4.3.8. It is prohibited to pour paints before the pigments have been thoroughly
mixed with the binder.
4.3.9. When mixing two-component paints, the ratio shall be very strictly
observed.
Only the amounts that can be used on the same day are to be mixed.
Inspections shall be made to verify this.
4.3.10. Paints shall be used and applied according to the directions of the paint
supplier. If it is found that the ratio is incorrect or too much paint has been
prepared, the contractor shall provide an additional amount of paint to
replace the amount squandered in that manner.
4.3.11. If necessary, the paint shall be poured through a sieve to remove oxidation
skins.
4.3.12. The contractor is personally responsible for providing the necessary

compressed air. In no case may compressed air be tapped off from
SIDMAR installations without prior agreement confirmed at the time of
order and under the conditions set by SIDMAR.
4.3.13. Thinning the paint with white spirit or any other thinner of any sort is strictly
prohibited, except following formal approval by the principal and the paint
supplier.
4.3.14. The various successive paint coats of a coating system must come from
the same paint supplier.
4.3.15. The paint must be applied in accordance with the instructions of the paint
supplier, in such a manner that a homogeneous and coherent film is
achieved.
Any paint coat that has an inferior or deficient appearance due to poor
performance of the work or negligence must be removed at the expense of
the contractor.
4.3.16. Approval of the Principal must be obtained before starting to apply any coat
of paint, for each stage of the selected coating system.
4.3.17. All parts to which paint is applied without prior permission shall be restored
to their original condition by removing the paint, at the cost of the
contractor.
4.3.18. Paint is always to be applied starting from the highest point and working
downward to the lowest point.

4.3.19. Every special or abnormal condition that could impede compliance with any
sort of regulation or instruction must be reported immediately to the
principal.
4.3.20. All joints, welds, edges, signs, bolts, pits and sharp corners (inside and
outside corners) must first be painted using a brush before starting to paint
parts of an installation using spray-painting or roller painting. This applies to
all coats of the paint system.
4.3.21. For painting work in closed spaces (tanks, cellars, etc.), the contractor shall
provide forced ventilation as necessary to remove solvent vapours.
For painting work in areas with explosion hazards (such as the extractor
hall KF and benzol factory KF), it is mandatory to use wet sandblasting
instead of dry sandblasting, and non-sparking techniques must be used for
manual de-rusting.
4.4. Film thickness
a) Before each coat of the various paint coats of a system is applied, the
necessary thickness measurements shall be made on the previous coat by the
inspector of the party performing the work.
The next coat can only be applied following approval by the order
administrator and optionally the inspection body.
Before starting the painting work, the painting contractor shall provide his site
manager with the following items:
- wet-film thickness gauge

- dry-film thickness gauge
- relative humidity gauge
- contact thermometer for coatings
This equipment is mandatory and must be shown before starting the work.
Before applying the next coat, the contractor shall ascertain that the specified
film thickness has been adequately achieved and shall record this thickness in
the daily log.
b) Dry-film thickness measurement
1. The specified coating thicknesses are to be regarded as minimum coating

thicknesses, with the 8020 rule being applicable as the criterion for
acceptance of the dry-film thickness. The work shall be approved only if
80% of the measurements are in the range equal to or greater than the
thickness stated in the requirements specification document.
The remaining 20% of the measurements must not be less than the
absolute minimum value, which is 80% of the specified coating thickness.
The maximum thickness must not exceed the value specified in the
technical specifications of the paint supplier. Any excess thickness must
be taken into account by adjusting the recoat time.
2. Alligator skin and wrinkles due to excess thickness shall not be tolerated,
nor shall skins resulting from oxidation of the paint (if the paint is not
filtered after mixing and comes from a previously used container) be

tolerated. If air bubbles are enclosed in a dry film of paint, the affected
areas shall be sanded and recoated.
c). The contractor is to have the wet film measured in order to monitor the
film thickness while the paint is being applied.

4.5. Special cases
4.5.1. Touching up
Touching up a paint coat or a paint system consists of repairing the paint

coat or system in question, such that the full integrity of the coat or system
is achieved. If the order includes touching-up, execution of the work must
satisfy the following conditions:
a) Touching-up is only allowed if its extent is less than 40% of the surface
area to be restored; otherwise the entire surface must be painted.
b) Regardless of the condition of the paint, all edges and strapping must
be touched up.
c) The touch-up coat must overlap the intact portion of the old paint by
several centimetres, or in other words, up to 5 cm past the edges of the
de-rusted areas, which are to be prepared using sandpaper before the
paint is applied. The painter shall always ensure that the touched-up
areas have neat borders.
If loose edges of residues of the old paint are present, they must be
completely removed and then repainted with an overlapping coat.
d) A paint coat that has been restored by touching up must no longer

show the least sign of corrosion.
Before the intermediate and/or final coats are applied, the already
painted surfaces are to be cleaned if contamination is present, such as
dust, sand, etc. This can be done using compressed air, possibly by
wiping clean with solvents, or by light sanding. Old paint coatings must
always be lightly sanded before being painted.
Note:
A zinc-rich primer coat shall never be applied to brush-off blasted or
manually de-rusted surfaces or to existing paint coatings, but only to white
abrasive-blasted material (SA 2.5). Suitable primers are available for
manually de-rusted and brush-off blasted surfaces (see the lists in Annex 8
of this document).
4.5.2. Filling joints and gaps
Special attention is to be given to joints, gaps and strapping. Following

thorough de-rusting and inspection to verify that they are completely dry,
they are to be coated with the primer coats using brushes specially
designed for this purpose as necessary. Narrow joints and gaps where the
paint cannot be properly applied shall be filled using a filling compound,
sealing caulk or adhesive putty that is compatible with the paint system,
and whose composition must always be reported to the principal.
The filling must be uninterrupted and regular, and the filling compound or
putty shall have a smooth surface such that no seepage of water is
possible. The filling compound or putty applied to the corners of the
strapping joints shall be ground to a bevel. After filling has been completed,
the paint system can be further applied.

4.5.3. Walkway gratings and structural elements
All structural elements that must be removed or loosened before painting

shall always be replaced and securely fastened by the contractor at the end
of each days work and on completion of the work.
Loose parts shall be clearly marked in a highly visible manner in order to
prevent accidents.
4.5.4. Thermally galvanised material and zinc-rich primer coats
Before any paint is applied, the surface must be fully and thoroughly
washed and degreased using warm water under high pressure and a
detergent, following which it is to be thoroughly rinsed with clean water.
This is also understood to mean that all white rust (zinc salts) and other
contamination on these surfaces are to be carefully removed.
5. SCHEDULING
a) Sidmar determines when the various activities of the work are to be performed,
taking into account the general coordination of the plant.
b) In order to permit regular monitoring of the work and the progress of the activities,
the contractor shall state the presumed duration of the work and the anticipated
crew composition (number of persons) for each process, taking into account
contingency for weather conditions.
Exception: For application of PU-1 composite coating systems, it is possible to

work at temperatures down to 5 C and relative humidity up to 98%,
so this restriction is naturally not applicable in such case.
This schedule must be in the possession of the requesting Sidmar department

before the work is started.
The various successive processes must follow each other without extended
interruptions (not more than 72 hours for paint coats); otherwise it must be decided
in joint consultation with the principal how the further course of the activities will
proceed.
If there are interruptions that are longer than what is provided above for reasons not
attributable to the principal, or in case of force majeure, any additional costs that
may arise shall be borne entirely by the contractor.
This refers to any additional preparation of the surface that may be necessary to
restore it to the proper condition, washing with warm water under pressure, sanding
previous layers, etc.
In case of work performed on a cost-plus basis, daily reports shall be prepared using
SIDMAR document no. 560-002/02-9 (Daily Report) as stipulated in Article 7,
Section 3.4 of ABE-001 (in the version stated on the order sheet).

6. PREPARING REFERENCE SURFACES
The signed guarantee certificate (Annex 1) is based on comparison of reference

surfaces with the remainder of the installation.
For this purpose, a portion of the prepared surface (covered with a coat of clear varnish)
shall be retained as a reference with regard to the degree of de-rusting for the entire
lifetime of the work.
It is assumed that the work on the rest of the installation is performed in the same
manner as on the reference surface.
One or more reference surfaces will be specified by the Principal.
One of these surfaces must be prepared immediately when the work is started. For this
purpose, the painting contractor shall generate a written report signed by the following
three parties:
- the contractor
- the paint supplier
- the principal and/or the inspection body
The various reference surfaces are to be prepared using the paint system described on
the order sheet, in the presence of technical representatives of the three or four parties
listed above.
The painting contractor is to inform the parties in a timely manner of the dates when the
reference surfaces are to be prepared.
Following completion of the work, these surfaces are to be outlined and the date, order
number and name of the painter are to be noted.
None of these activities prevents the painter from continuing to perform the work on the
installation as specified.
Provisional completion shall be declared during the month after the work has been
completely finished, all material has been removed from the site, and a joint inspection
of this has been carried out by the technical representatives of:
- the painting contractor

- the paint supplier
- the principal
- the inspection body
For this purpose, the painting contractor shall submit an official request to the requesting
department of Sidmar for provisional completion in accordance with Article 9.7 of
ABE-001.
Definitive completion shall take place one year after provisional completion, as stipulated
in specification ABE-001 (in the version stated on the order sheet).
The paint supplier and the painting contractor are held jointly responsible for proper
maintenance of the system. To this end, both parties shall sign a guarantee certificate.
Should a problem nevertheless arise during the above-mentioned period, the painter will
be so informed by SIDMAR by means of a registered letter. If notice of the complaint is
given during the course of the first half of the painting season (until the end of July), the
repair work must without fail be performed during the second half.
If the complaint arises during the second half of the painting season, the repair work is to
be performed in the following painting season, with its duration not to exceed one third of
the original duration for the entire installation.

The repairs to be performed shall first be jointly discussed with the paint supplier,
SIDMAR and the inspection body. If the painting contractor does not comply with the
above provisions, SIDMAR reserves the right to have the repair work performed by a
different painting contractor with the entire cost to be borne by the contractor in default,
provided that the latter is first notified that he is in default. The repairs are to be
conceived such that they are fully equivalent to the system in place and have the same
appearance after the end of the guarantee period as that of the reference surfaces.
7. PENAL PROVISIONS
Each instance of any violation of the provisions stated above shall be penalised by
deduction of at most 10% of the total amount to be paid. The following activities are
subject to being penalised under the terms of this provision (note that these are cited as
examples and do not constitute an exhaustive list):
- painting without the prior agreement of the SIDMAR supervisor
- using solvents or improper solvents (more than 3% of the amount permitted by the
paint supplier as indicated in the technical specifications)
- using paints other than the specified paints
- using solvents from suppliers other than the supplier of the paint products
- failure to used the specified application method
8. COMPENSATION & ADDITIONAL WORK
8.1. Compensation
Work interruption imposed by the Principal
a) Personnel
- If the contractor is informed in advance (by at least 24 hours), no

compensation of any sort shall be granted by Sidmar.
- If notice is given on the same day, Sidmar will pay the number of lost hours
for the day in question, to the extent that the employees of the contractor
cannot be assigned to a different job.
In such case, the personnel will remain at the disposition of Sidmar, who
can assign them specific tasks.
b) Machinery and material
If the down time amounts to more than 5% of the number of working days
planned for the work by the contractor, the latter can claim the additional costs
for the lost days for each elapsed day.

8.2. Restrictions on compensation
a) If the contractor does not comply with the planned schedule (scheduled
working days and the provisions of Section 5), no compensation will be paid.
b) This restriction is also applicable if the contractor remains in default with

regard to measures to be taken.
8.3. Additional work
If supplementary work is requested by the Principal during the course of the

activities, it shall be charged based a refutable rate for the activities in question,
and the price shall be calculated based on the fixed value of the contract.
8.4. Daily working hours
If for certain reasons the working hours must be shifted (always in eight-hour
blocks), no additional payment for overtime will be made if the shifted hours lie with
the range of 06.00 hours to 20.00 hours.
9. AWARDING OF THE ORDER
The order shall be awarded by price comparison, taking into consideration conformity
with the request for quotation as well as the restrictive and supplementary terms and
conditions set by the contractor.
All necessary information is to be provided by the contractor by means of the forms

shown in the Annex section, which form an integral part of the quotation.
10. USE OF HEAT-RESISTANT PAINT SYSTEMS ON STEEL STRUCTURES AND PIPES
Procedure for use of heat-resistant paint systems on steel structures
Surface preparation
- Remove oil and grease using a suitable detergent.

- Break sharp edges using mechanical tools.
- Blast to SA 2.5 with a minimum surface roughness corresponding to Rugotest No. 3,
BN10a. This corresponds to a Ry roughness of 80 microns and an Rz of at least
50 microns.

Applying the paint system
- Apply a suitable paint system according to the temperature.
System 1: 80 C to 200 C
Apply one coat of zinc silicate (75 micron DFT) followed by a silicone acrylate paint
applied in one or two 25-micron coats.
Colour: aluminium
Apply one coat of zinc silicate (75 micron DFT) followed by a silicone paint applied in
two 30-micron coats.
Colour: aluminium
Apply one coat of zinc silicate (75 micron DFT) followed by one coat of a one- or two-
component inorganic silicate paint with a dry-film thickness of 75 microns.
Colour: grey; tints depending on paint supplier.
Note: the stated temperature values are average values, not peak values.
Remarks and items to note
- Abrasive blasting must always be used, including touch-up work on construction sites.
- For tubing and pipes, projection vacuum blasting shall be used with a cleanliness
grade of SA 2.5 and a minimum surface roughness of 50 microns (Rz value).
- Structural sections shall always be blasted using sharp grit (screening essential) to
obtain the above values with regard to cleanliness and roughness.
- The paint coats shall always be applied using spray-painting methods. Deviations
from this rule are only possible with the approval of the order administrator, in
consultation with the paint supplier and possibly with the inspection agency.
- The zinc silicate coat must always be fully cured before the painted item is
overcoated or transported. Curing must be verified using the MEK test, which involves
rubbing the painted surface with a saturated wad (40). The paint must not dissolve.
- The mixing ratio specified by the paint supplier must always be observed.
- The specified film thickness must always be maintained, since excessive thickness
creates a risk of cracking (breaking of the paint film). None of the measured values
may be greater than the value stated in the requirements specification plus 20% (e.g.,
for 75 microns the largest allowable value is 90 microns).
- Surface preparation is very important with regard to both cleanliness and roughness.
- The atmospheric humidity must be at least 75% when zinc silicate is applied, since
this coating cures by reacting with moisture. Elevated humidity accelerates curing. It
may be necessary to spray the painted surface with water to obtain full curing.
- The zinc dust must be added to the liquid portion, rather than the other way around.
- Continuous mechanical stirring is necessary.
- Poorly accessible locations, corners and welds must always be pre-painted (25
micron DFT). This thickness must be taken into account when overspraying.
- It is very important for trapped gasses, air bubbles and solvents to be able to escape
from the paint film, since otherwise blistering of the paint film will occur.

- The silicone top coat must be held at a temperature of 200 C for five days to achieve
full curing.
