3 GENERAL DETAILS
4 PAINT APPLICATION
(1) Before painting, surfaces to be painted shall be cleaned and perfectly dried. It shall be free of oil,
grease, dust, concrete and other contaminants. This Shall be applied prior to primer applications
and prior to subsequent coatings.
(2) SSPC-SP1 Solvent cleaning shall be followed to remove non-water-soluble matters. Do not use
kerosene, diesel or other degreasers that leave an oily film unless the surface is subsequently
cleaned with a non-greasy solvent or cleaner.
(3) Any solvent used in the shop or field cleaning of stainless-steel surfaces shall be an organic solvent
free from metallic elements and have less than 50 ppm chloride content.
(4) Benzene, gasoline, carbon tetrachloride and chlorinated hydrocarbons shall not be used.
4.2.2 Blast Cleaning, General Requirements
(1) The primary standard used in this specification is ISO-8501-1: preparation of steel substrate before
application of paints and related products ‐ visual assessment of surface cleanliness. Nearest
SSPC specification equivalent surface cleanliness may be used after owner’s approval.
(2) The type of abrasive, particle size and maximum profile shall be agreed with paint manufacturers
for each type of paint used. The maximum particle size shall be no larger than that passing through
the appropriate mesh screen size to suit the center line profile height requirements.
(3) Flange faces, valves, and other items which could be damaged by abrasive blasting shall not be
abrasively blast cleaned but shall be cleaned by hand or power tool cleaning in accordance with
ISO 8501-St.2 and / or St.3 surface preparation.
(4) Dust and spent abrasive shall be removed prior to coating.
(5) Prior to blasting all the weld spatters hall be removed and sharp edges shall be smoothened.
