4. SURFACE PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF COATINGS

4.1. SURFACE PREPARATION
The objective of surface preparation is to create proper adhesion of a coating over substrate.
Adhesion is the key to coating effectiveness, and it determinates whether to coating is merely a
thin sheet of material lying on the substrate or whether it becomes an actual part of the
substrate. Surface preparation shall be achieved on the internal pipe surface at some time prior
to application of the internal coating in accordance of Product Data Sheet.
Coatings are listed in Coating Schedule Specification. The surface preparation must be of
sufficient quality to allow a firm continuous bond of the cured coating to the pipe and should be
performed immediately preceding the application of the coating material.
4.1.1.
Solvent Cleaning
The SSPC definition for solvent cleaning (SSPC-SP1) is a method for removing all visible oil,
grease, soil, marking materials, drawing and cutting compounds and other soluble
contaminants from steel surfaces must be removed from the surface to be coated. When wet
cleaning is performed with detergents, this process shall be immediately followed by sufficient
rinsing with clear water to remove all harmful residues of any cleaning agents or detergents.
Emulsion, alkaline or approved cleaners may be used in place of solvents provided that the
surface is washed with fresh water or steam to remove detrimental residues.
Removal of water may be accelerated by heating, but in no case shall this heating adversely
affect the metallurgical properties of the steel or deposit surface contaminations. The pipe
surface must be thoroughly dry before application of coating material.
Each of the NACE / SSPC, Abrasive Blast Specifications requires solvent cleaning as a
preliminary step to abrasive blasting.
4.1.2.
Abrasive Blast Cleaning

4.1.2.1. Types of Surface Preparation
Various types of surface preparation mechanical equipment are used to clean the
surface and thus provide proper coating adhesion. Table 1 lists the surface
preparation specifications by SSPC, NACE, Swedish, and ISO in a descending order
of effectiveness. Each grade lower in the list allows greater amount of contamination
to be left on the surface prior to coating. This is extremely important since it is the
degree of contamination that is the key to coating adhesion.

The amount of time, work, and effort required to achieve any particular degree of
surface preparation depends to a great degree on the initial condition of the surface
to be cleaned.
While there are many different initial conditions SSPC has divided them into four new
construction conditions based upon the rust grade classification of SSPC-Vis -1-89
Visual Standard For Abrasive Blast Cleaned Steel and three maintenance
conditions based upon pictorial standard SSPC-Vis-3 Visual Standard For Power
and Hand Tool Cleaned Steel for previously painted surfaces.

b) Wet Film Thickness: The indicated film thickness wet should be in according with
Product Data Sheet. This applies to coating material that has been thinned to proper
application viscosity.
4.2.14.
Application Methods
There are a number of application methods by which coatings can be applied. The three
principal methods are by brush, roller or spray. The electrostatic sprays on, are primarily for inplant application and generally are used for product finishes rather than for the field
application.
The actual choice of application methods depends on each coating specification listed in
Coating Schedule Specification, this specification recommended the method for application
and the applicator shall do the practice recommended in data product.
The applied coating film should be uniform in gloss, thickness and color and should be free of
irregularities.
Air atomization is not permitted under this Specification, except as permitted in Section
Repairs to Coating. The material shall be applied by airless spray equipment.
4.2.15.
Drying or Curing
The drying or curing of a coating after application may be as important as the application itself,
depending on the use of the coating. Coatings applied to the interior of pipes and similar areas
where the coating will be subject to immersion, water or chemicals are in a much critical
situation from a curing standpoint. In this case, the optimum curing condition must exist for the
coating to be fully resistant.

Protection of Uncured Coating
Coating materials shall be applied in a covered or enclosed space shielded from high winds,
blowing dust and dirt and inclement weather. Protection from these conditions shall be
provided until the coating is tack free.
4.2.17.
Acceleration of Initial Cure
Heat may be used to accelerate cure, providing it produces no adverse effects to the pipe or
coating. Heat for accelerating cure may not exceed 140F.
Epoxy coatings also react well to force drying conditions. Although the epoxy coatings are
internally cured, the chemical reaction of the cure proceeds at a much more rapid pace at
elevated temperatures, making the epoxy coatings that more solvent and chemical resistant.
The Product Data Sheet of each material designed in Coating Schedule Specification,
describes the conditions for drying and cure; these conditions the applicator shall complying in
accordance with this specification.
If heat is not used to accelerate cure, coating operations should be suspended when the
relative humidity of the atmosphere is 90% or greater in the coating area.
4.2.18.
Weather Conditions
Weather conditions can have a substantial effect on coating application. Weather conditions
are less critical where coatings are applied to interior surfaces, although even in this case,
problems can occur.
o
o
The ideal conditions for applying almost all coatings include a temperature of 70 F (21 C),
little or no wind, and humidity within 50% to 60%. All coatings respond well to such conditions.
4.2.19.
Unfavorable Operating Conditions
Coating operations must be stopped when conditions as defined by the other provisions of this
Specification indicate that an inferior coating will result.
