International Paint Surface Preparation Standards

Abrasive Sweep Blasting
Dry abrasive sweep blasting is the technique used to r emove a coat,
or coats of paint from an intact surface, or to partially r emove
corrosion from a corroded surface. This selective removal technique
is achieved by sweeping the surface with a jet of dry abrasive.
The effectiveness of the operation depends on the type and condition
of the coating, the surface to which it is applied, type and particle

system performance.
size of the abrasive and above all, the skill of the operator . Our visual
standards have been produced to provide guidelines for the types
of surfaces commonly encountered on vessels during maintenance
and repair.
Hydroblasting
Abrasive Sweep Blasting

International CSB-1.
Increasingly, hydroblasting is the main alter native to dry abrasive

blasting in the marine industry due to the advantages of:
l
Reduction* in waste disposal costs
Reductions* in dust and noise pollution
Reduction* in soluble salt levels on pr epared steel surfaces
* In comparison to dry abrasive blasting
Hydroblasting is a preparation technique which relies

entirely on the energy of water striking the surface to achieve its
cleaning effect. Abrasives are NOT used in hydroblasting systems.
Two different hydroblasting operating water pressures are
commonly encountered:
l
High pressure hydroblasting, operating at pressures between
Hydroblasting
International D HB2 M (moderate flashrusting).
10,000 and 25,000 p.s.i. (70-170 Mpa)

l
Ultra high pressure hydroblasting, operating at pressures above

25,000 p.s.i. (170 Mpa) and typically between 30,000 and
36,000 p.s.i. (207-250 Mpa)
Our visual standards have been prepared using ultra high pressure
hydroblasting equipment. However, these standards are also
applicable to surfaces prepared by a wide range of hydr oblasting
pressures, providing the equipment used is capable of cleaning to the
visual standard depicted.
Slurryblasting
Slurryblasting is a technique for cleaning steel surfaces using a
mixture of fresh water and abrasive, where the elimination, or
control of abrasive dust is required. Two slurryblasting systems are
commonly encountered:
l
Pressurised water abrasive blasting, which uses water to pr opel the

abrasive
Air abrasive water blasting, which uses compr essed air to propel
the abrasive
Our visual standards have been prepared by using pressurised water

abrasive blasting but the photographic references are representative
of both slurryblasting methods.

is critical.
If carefully selected, the outer shell anticorrosive can offer protection

International Paint recognises the issues facing ship operators and has
developed a Hull Roughness Penalty Calculator (HRPC) and a pr oven

help minimise future surface preparation and steel replacement costs.

Ultimately, the correct choice of anticorrosive can limit the number of
major hull coating refurbishments over a vessels lifetime, thereby
impacting on both maintenance costs and the overall value of the
ship in the long term.
The choice of anticorrosive depends largely on performance
expectations, vessel age and steel condition. Another important
aspect is the investment an operator is pr epared to make in terms of
surface preparation and application costs.
Foul release systems offer proven long term (60 month) performance *.

Todays extremely competitive marketplace puts further pressure on

ship operators to maintain a high standar d of vessel appearance.
In addition, the limited availability of cr ew time and labour, difficulty of
access, control of on board maintenance costs and restrictions in

International Paint has a unique range of keel to rail anticorr osives
which address the needs of the ship r epair yard and applicator plus

External Decks and Hatch Covers

Wear and tear can range from impact damage encountered on a bulk
carrier or container ship, through to oil or chemical spillages on a
tanker deck, to a continual stream of vehicular and pedestrian traffic
on a ro-ro ferry.
If not properly protected, these important, highly visible vessel ar eas
will corrode and require costly, repetitive and time-consuming
maintenance. The potential implications include vessel safety, crew
safety, on board maintenance costs and continual disruption.
As with other areas of the vessel, exter nal decks and hatch covers
require coatings specifically designed to be compatible with practically
achievable surface preparation standards.
New test methods can

now accurately reproduce
the damage experienced
by coatings systems
in the cargo holds of
working bulk carriers.
The International Paint external decks and hatch cover product range
has been engineered to offer a range of performance levels
compatible with common surface preparation methods.
Until recently, coatings design has been restricted by an absence of

reliable standard test equipment and protocols which can accurately
reproduce practical conditions in a loaded cargo hold. To address
this problem, International Paint has developed test methodologies
for cargo hold coatings which accurately simulate the damage
produced by various cargoes in the holds of operational bulk carriers.
The results of these unique, practical tests have enabled Inter national

Water ballast tanks can be difficult areas to repair whilst the vessel is

planning for major refurbishment at drydocking.
