8. PAINTING SPECIFICATION 8.1 General

8.1.1 This specification covers the materials, tools, facilities and quality requirements for surface preparation and painting of steelwork, equipment, including pipework, ductwork etc. The requirements brought out herein are applicable both for shop painting and painting at the site. 8.1.2 Surface directly embedded in concrete, asbestos, aluminium, brass, bronze, galvanised steel, stainless steel and other corrosion resistant alloys, rubber / synthetic polymers, and buried pipework are not required to be painted unless specified, except for identification bands, where relevant. Except for such surfaces, painting and surface preparation shall be provided to protect all surfaces that shall be subject to atmospheric action and exposed to corrosive media, irrespective of mention in the other General and Technical Specification. 8.1.3 Painting shall provide a continuous adherent film of adequate thickness on the surface being treated and atmosphere prevailing at the site and exposures in other corrosive environment. The climatic conditions of site is outlined in the Volume I of the contract Document. The work shall consist of surface preparation and application of prime, intermediate and finish coats of organic and inorganic coating or metallic coating as specified herein. 8.1.4 This specification shall be read along with the following three (3) Annexures enclosed with this specification: Annexure-8.1 Annexure-8.2 Annexure-8.3 8.2 Standards : : : Surface preparation standards Painting system Colour code

8.2.1 All materials, tools and workmanship shall be in accordance with the latest editions of relevant Bureau of Indian Standards wherever available. Where Indian Standards are not available, the work shall conform to generally accepted codes of practice for good painting, based on specifications such as those published by Steel Structures Painting Council, USA, or as per DIN 55928.

Surface Preparation

8.3.1 Surface preparation being a pre-requisite for any paint application, shall be such as to clean the surface thoroughly of any materials which will be conducive to premature failure of the paint sub-strata. 8.3.2 All surfaces shall be cleaned of loose substances and foreign materials, such as dirt, rust, scale, oil, grease, welding flux etc. irrespective of whether the same has been spelt out in the standards in order that the primer coat is rigidly anchored to the virgin metal surface. The surface cleaning shall conform to pictorial representation of surface quality grade of Swedish Standards Institution SIS 055900 or equivalent standards such as SSPC-VISii1.67 or DIN 55928 (Part IV) or BS:4232 or IS:1477 standards of surface preparation quality grade to be adopted in respect of SIS 055900 are presented in Annexure 8.1 for ready reference. Any oil, grease, dust or foreign matter deposited on the oil surface after preparation shall be removed and care taken that the surface is not contaminated with acids, alkalies, moisture or other corrosive chemicals. The primer coat shall be applied as soon as possible after the surface preparation is completed. 8.3.3 The acceptable surface preparation standards are described under each paint system. The procedures covered are solvent cleaning, hand tool cleaning, power tool cleaning, flame cleaning, blast cleaning, pickling or combination thereof. These are briefly described below. 8.3.4 The surface preparation quality such as St-2, St-3, Sa-2, Sa-2 1/2 etc. shall be compatible with the selection of primer paint and overall life of the paint system adopted. 8.3.4.1 Solvent Cleaning The surface is cleaned by wiping, immersion, spraying or vapour contacting of a suitable solvent or washing with emulsion or alkaline solution or chemical paint stripper. The method effectively removes oil, grease, dirt, matters but does not remove rust, scales, mill-scales or weld flux. Also, hydrocarbon solvents do not remove corrosive salts such as chloride and sulphate. Therefore, before application of paint, solvent cleaning is commonly to be followed by other cleaning procedures. 8.3.4.2 Hand Tool Cleaning The surface is cleaned by vigorous wire brushing done manually to St-2 quality. Chipping and scraping is usually carried out before wire brushing; oil and grease are removed by solvent cleaning before hand tool cleaning. On welded work, before wire brushing, particular care should be taken to remove by blasted cleaning, washing with water, phosphate rinsing of power tool cleaning as much welding flux, slag and fume deposit as is possible. This method effectively removed loosely adherent materials but would be not affect residues of rust or mill scales that are intact and firmly adherent.
