SURFACE PREPARATION : - All surface to be coated should be completely clean, dry and free from
contamination.
- Remove Salt and other waters-soluble contaminants by fresh water.
- Remove Oil and grease with suitable detergent or solvent
- Remove rust , mill scale and others loose materials completely by
abrasive blasting (ISO 8501-1:2007 Sa 2 ½ or SSPC SP-10) or power
tool cleaning (ISO 8501 – 1 St 3 or SSPC SP3)
