Remove grease, oil and other contaminants using suitable degreasing solvent. Remove all rust and scale by grit/ shot blasting to a minimum standard of Sa 2 1/2, Swedish standard SIS 05 5900 with a surface profile not exceeding 50 microns. Remove all dust and loose particles by vacuum cleaning or by jet of dry compressed air. Primer coat : One coat of Inorganic Zinc rich Primer. Application : By conventional and airless spray, brush for small areas. Over coating interval : Minimum - Over night, Maximum - Dependant on conditions. The primer coat should be fully cured and free from residual solvent before over coating is carried out. Average D.F.T: 32-35 microns. First primer coat should applied within 4-6 hours after shot blasting. Intermediate Coat : One coat of High Build Epoxy coating re-inforced with MIO (Micaceous Iron Ore). Application: By brush, roller or airless spray. Over coating interval : Minimum - over night, Maximum - Indefinite. Average D.F.T : 50-60 microns. Finish Coat Two coats of Chloro-rubber finish paint compatible to the primer and intermediate coats. Application : By brush, airless or conventional spray. Over coating interval : Minimum - over night, Maximum - 7-10 Days. Average D.F.T. per coat : 30-35 microns. Or Two coats epilux epoxy finish paint compatible to the primer and intermediate coats. Application : By brush, airless or conventional spray. Over coating interval : Minimum over night, Maximum 7-10 Days. Average D.F.T. per coat : 30-35 microns. NOTE: THE THREE TYPES OF PAINTS SHOULD BE FROM THE SAME VENDOR. VENDOR TO ESTABLISH THE FINAL PAINTING APPLICATION PROCEDURE SUITABLE FOR HIS PAINT. VENDOR TO DEMONSTRATE THE PAINT APPLICATION AT SITE WITH THE TESTS LIKE PEAL OFF TEST, PAINT HARDNESS, DRYING TIME, Page STR-3 of 4
