PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

- CUI - Stainless Steel - DTR - Primer - Cryogenic

Prevents Corrosion Under Insulation Prevents Stress Corrosion Cracking Direct to Tight, Adherent Rust Application High Build, High Solids Protects Cryogenic Equipment

Service Temperature: minus 300F to 1200F [minus 185C to 650C] Surface Application Temperatures: 50F to 600F [10C to 316C]* Hi-Temp 1027 is a high-build, single component coating formulated to prevent corrosion under insulation of carbon and stainless steel. Hi-Temp 1027 is formulated to help prevent chloride induced stress corrosion cracking of stainless steel and has been tested by an independent laboratory for low leachable chlorides, sulfides and halides. It helps protect against chlorides: 1) from the atmosphere, 2) from by-products of process operations, and 3) which may be incorporated in the insulation, from coming in contact with stainless steel. Hi-Temp 1027 is a low VOC, high build primer which air dries at ambient temperatures to a UV resistant and stable film, and provides excellent corrosion resistance at the full range of service temperatures. Hi-Temp 1027 can be top coated with a full range of Hi-Temp color top coats. Hi-Temp 1027 can be applied directly to hot substrates having a metal temperature up to 600F [316C]*, eliminating the need for costly shutdown during maintenance. Hi-Temp 1027 does not require a heat cure to achieve superior corrosion resistance. Hi-Temp 1027 is resistant to thermal shock and thermal cycling in intermittent (wet, steam, dry) service. Hi-Temp 1027 can be applied to tightly adhering rust in maintenance and repair situations. Hi-Temp 1027 will protect cryogenic equipment in continuous or cyclic operation from minus 300F to 1000F [minus 185C to 538C]. Hi-Temp 1027 provides a UV-resistant, chalking-free film with no maximum recoat interval, regardless of operating temperature, as long as the surface to be recoated is clean and free of all contaminants.

SURFACE PREPARATION:
As with all coatings, the performance and service life of Hi-Temp 1027 are relative to the quality of surface preparation accomplished. CARBON STEEL All surfaces to be coated with Hi-Temp 1027 shall be free of all weld splatter, oil, dirt, grease, and all other contaminants, especially salts. Round off all rough welds and sharp edges. In maintenance and repair situations, Hi-Temp 1027 can be applied over a surface in which tightly adhering rust is still present; remove all rust scale and loosely adhering rust until glints of bright metal are visible. The remaining rust must be tightly adherent and not easily removed by lightly wiping with a cloth. Hi-Temp 1027 should only be used to overcoat inorganic zinc or itself. When overcoating aged inorganic zinc, prepare a small test patch and check for adhesion. If previously applied coatings other than inorganic zinc or HiTemp 1027 are not fully removed by the method of surface preparation utilized, feather the edges of any remaining old coating, and use Hi-Temp 1027 to spot prime only the areas where the substrate is exposed. Non-insulated surfaces: Recommended: Dry abrasive blast clean to SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast [Sa 2] with a 1.0 to 2.0 mil [25 to 50 micron] profile.

When abrasive blast cleaning is not an option, the following methods are acceptable: SSPC-SP 15 Commercial Grade Power Tool Cleaning, with a minimum 1.0 mil [25 micron] profile. SSPC-SP 12, Surface Preparation and Cleaning of Metals by Waterjetting Prior to Recoating to meet the visual definition of WJ-3, Thorough Cleaning. Use potable water. SSPC-SP 3, Power Tool Cleaning [St 3] or SSPC-SP 2, Hand Tool Cleaning [St 2].

Insulated surfaces: Recommended: Dry abrasive blast clean to SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast [Sa 2] or better, with a 1.0 to 2.0 mil [25 to 50 micron] profile.

When abrasive blasting is not an option, the following methods are acceptable: SSPC-SP 15 Commercial Grade Power Tool Cleaning, with a minimum 1.0 mil [25 micron] profile. SSPC-SP 12, Surface Preparation and Cleaning of Metals by Waterjetting Prior to Recoating to meet the visual definition of WJ-2 Very thorough or Substantial Cleaning. Use potable water. All existing coating must be removed except for aged inorganic zinc or existing Hi-Temp 1027. Power Tool Clean or Hand Tool Clean to remove all existing coating except for aged inorganic zinc or existing Hi-Temp 1027.

STAINLESS STEEL All surfaces to be coated with Hi-Temp 1027 shall be free of all weld splatter, oil, dirt, grease, and all other contaminants, especially salts. Round off all rough welds and sharp edges. IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE CHLORINATED SOLVENTS ON STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES. Non-insulated and insulated surfaces: Small surfaces may be cleaned with a chloride free solvent. Large surfaces may be cleaned utilizing a high or low pressure wash or steam cleaning with an alkaline detergent, followed by a freshwater rinse. Water used should be potable grade or better and should be checked to assure minimal salt content. Do not use any chemical additives in the rinse water. An anchor profile is not mandatory for adhesion of Hi-Temp 1027 on stainless steel surfaces. o As an option, following cleaning, a light abrasive sweep blast using an appropriate chloride free abrasive may be performed. After completion of this mechanical surface preparation, rinse the surface with potable grade water or better. Always allow rinsed surfaces to dry before coating.

MIXING, THINNING, AND CLEANUP:

Hi-Temp 1027 is a heavy bodied material; use mechanical agitation for mixing immediately before application and as needed during application. Be sure any settled solids are incorporated during mixing. If thinning is needed, thin only with Hi-Temp thinners and in accordance with applicable regulations. Agitate as needed during application.
Application to ambient substrate Below 150F [66C] Flush equipment and thin with Hi-Temp #10 or #11 Application to hot substrate 150F to 500F [66C to 260C] Flush equipment and thin with Hi-Temp #5

Clean up with Thinners #5, #10, #11

For application to hot substrates over 150F and up to 500F [66C to 260C] thin (if needed) only with HiTemp thinner #5. For application to substrates over 500F and up to 600F [260C to 316C] consult Hi-Temp Technical Service.

APPLICATION:
For ambient application, surface temperature should be a minimum of 5F [3C] above the dew point. Do not apply to surfaces with surface temperature below 50F [10C]. Do not exceed recommended maximum dry film thicknesses for the appropriate service type and temperatures.

APPLICATION TO HOT SURFACES:

IMPORTANT! It is essential to apply multiple thin passes of Hi-Temp 1027 during application to hot steel. This process, similar to mist coating, prevents blistering and also allows solvent to escape without leaving pinholes. Use of a solvent other than Hi-Temp #5 thinner could produce a fire hazard, and dry spray and poor film characteristics may also result. If blisters are observed in Hi-Temp 1027 applied to hot surfaces, immediately brush out the blisters before they set, using a wood-handled china bristle brush. Note that the higher the substrate temperature, the shorter the recoat time. For direct application to hot substrates over 500F and up to 600F [260C to 316C] consult Hi-Temp Technical Service.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT:
Spray application is recommended: Use conventional or airless spray and good painting practices. Typical equipment is as follows: Product 1027 Air Pressure 60-80 psi Conventional Spray Fluid Fluid Tip Pressure Pressure <40 psi 1.8 to 2.2 mm 3000 psi Airless Spray Minimum Fluid Line 1/4 to 3/8 Tip size 417 to 521

Brush and Roll: Spray application is recommended but when spray painting is not possible, brush or roll application may be used. The coating should be applied with a suitable brush or short nap roller. Brushing and rolling only in one direction may aid in building film thickness. For more specific instructions, refer to the Hi-Temp Coatings Application Guideline titled Guidelines for Roller and Brush Application of Hi-Temp Coatings Products.

New or Corroded Surfaces: For corrosion resistant service, use of an approved corrosion resistant primer is necessary. Surfaces to be coated must be primed in accordance with the Hi-Temp 1027 product data sheet. Consult HiTemp for alternate and approved primers. Allow appropriate dry time. Apply one coat of Hi-Temp 1000VS at 2 to 2.5 mils [50 to 63 microns] DFT. For cosmetic service only, use of an approved corrosion resistant primer is recommended but not necessary. Abrasive blast clean to SSPC-SP 6 Commercial Blast [Sa 2] with profile of 1 to 1.5 mils [25 to 38 microns] or pressure wash to an equivalent of SSPC-SP 6 [Sa 2] condition. Surfaces to be coated must be dry and free of salts, weld splatter, oil, dirt, grease, and all other contaminants. Round off all rough welds and sharp edges. Apply two coats of Hi-Temp 1000VS at 2 to 2.5 mils [50 to 63 microns] DFT per coat for a total of 4 to 5 mils [100 to 125 microns] DFT. Previously Painted Surfaces in Good Condition: If old coating is intact and there is no evidence of cracking, fracturing, and/or delamination, pressure wash surface to remove all salts, oil, grease, and contaminants and apply one coat of Hi-Temp 1000VS at 2 to 2.5 mils [50 to 63 microns] DFT. Previously Painted Surfaces in Poor Condition or with some Localized Corrosion: If old coating shows evidence of cracking, fracturing, delamination, and/or corrosion, follow surface preparation guidelines for new steel. If there is no evidence of cracking, fracturing, or delamination, just small areas of corrosion (less than 10% of the area to be coated), power wash the entire structure, removing all salts, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Once dry, perform surface preparation and apply Hi-Temp 1027 in accordance with the data sheet on all areas where the existing paint has been removed. Once these areas are primed and dry, apply one coat of Hi-Temp 1000VS at 2 to 2.5 mils [50 to 63 microns] DFT over the entire surface.

Prior to application of 1000VS over other coatings, prepare a small test patch area and test for adhesion.

MIXING, THINNING, AND CLEANUP:

Use mechanical agitation for mixing. Mix materials until uniform in consistency. Thinning is not normally needed. If a condition warrants thinning, thin only with Hi-Temp Thinners #10 or #11. Thin only in accordance with applicable regulations. Application to Ambient Substrate 50F [10C] to 150F [66C] Flush, Thin, and Clean up with: Hi-Temp Thinner #10 or #11

minimum curing time of Phenguard tankcoating system before transport of cargoes with note 4, 7, 8 or 11: 3 months for detailed information on resistance and resistance notes, please refer to the latest issue of the Cargo Resistance List for transport of methanol and vinyl acetate monomer, a hot cure is required which cannot be substituted by a service period of 3 months with nonaggressive cargoes adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to sheets 1433 and 1434) the performance of the applied system strongly depends on the curing degree of the rst coat at time of recoating. Therefore overcoating time between 1st and 2nd coat is extended in comparison between 2nd and 3rd coat (see overcoating details) when used as a primer under solvent free tank-linings the dft must be limited to a maximum of 100 m Pot life (at application viscosity) 10 C 20 C 30 C Worldwide availability 6 hours 4 hours 1.5 hour

In exceptional cases SigmaCover 435 may be applied at lower substrate temperatures (down to -15C) provided that the surface is free from ice and other contamination. In such cases special care must be taken to avoid thick lm application as this may lead to checking/crazing or solvent entrapment.It should be clear that application at lower temperatures will require additional thinning to obtain application viscosity, however this will affect the sag resistance of the applied coating and can induce solvent retention. Optimal curing and designed product properties will only be achieved when minimum required substrate temperature is reached.

Film thickness and spreading rate theoretical spreading rate m/l dft in m min. dft for closed lm with airless spray: 400 m max. dft when brushing 150 m measuring wet lm thickness a difference is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the real applied wft this is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which retards the release of air trapped in the paint lm for some time a practical recommendation is to apply a wft which is equal to the specied dft plus 60 m measuring dry lm thickness because of low initial hardness the dft cannot be measured within some days due to the penetration of the measuring device into the soft paint lm the dft should be measured using a calibration foil of known thickness placed in between the coating and the measuring device Overcoating table for SigmaCover 1000 for dft up to 1000 m (spot repair and stripe coating) substrate temperature minimum interval maximum interval 5C 3 days 28 days 10C 20C 30C 40C 2.0 500 1.0 1000

measuring wet lm thickness a difference is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the real applied wft, this is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which retards the release of air trapped in the paint lm for some time

High gloss thin lm polyurethane nishes tend to atomise less easy. The widely used airless spray application method is for those kind of nishes possible but would not be the best option as small nozzles and high pressures can easily result in overspray. Better suitable methods are Pressure pot and air assisted airless (e.g. airmix) application which result in better dry lm thickness controle, better appearance and much less overspray. Whilst it is always the aim of Sigma Coatings to supply the same product on a worldwide basis, slight modication of the product is sometimes necessary to comply with local or national rules/circumstances.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Sigmarite 88 cleans intact, painted surfaces SigmaRite 88 is used to clean metal and concrete surfaces and avoids in many cases abrasive blasting or mechanical cleaning SigmaRite 88 is ideal for dry-dock painting, maintenance painting and new construction painting Outstanding characteristics; SigmaRite 88 is a quick working bio degradable cleaner for removing deposits of oil or grease from metal or previously painted surfaces When washed off with water, SigmaRite 88 leaves a clean surface with no oily lm or residu SigmaRite 88 cleans better than solvent type of cleaners. When dry, the surface is ready for either abrasive blasting (if required) or for application of a protective coating SigmaRite 88 reduces repainting costs by avoiding sweepblasting or roughening of old paint systems. SigmaRite 88 is relatively non hazardous to use, as compared with other types or cleaning compounds SigmaRite 88 contains no caustics, phosphates and no hazardous chlorinated solvents

1. apply SigmaRite 88 generously using spray, brush, roller or mop on the surface to be cleaned. For most applications SigmaRite 88 can be reduced 2 to 3 times with fresh clean water. Use concentrated SigmaRite 88 cleaner for heavy oil residues. 2. Allow SigmaRite 88 to remain on the surface for 5 to 10 minutes, then scrub off with a broom or high pressure water wash. The longer the SigmaRite 88 can be allowed to work before scrubbing, the more effective it is in loosening deposits IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow SigmaRite 88 to dry on the surface 3. Hose with water under high pressure. On rough or pitted surfaces, it may be necessary to scrub with a stiff brush while washing. Hot water or low pressure steam greatly facilitates removal 4. If any deposits of grease or oil remain, repeat the application of SigmaRite 88 and scrub with a cloth or scrape deposit away 5.Wash again with water as described before. Allow to dry before application of protective coatings 6. If surfaces are hot, pre-wet before applcation of SigmaRite 88 7. DO NOT apply under freezing conditions. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SigmaRite 88 is an alkaline cleaner. Care should be taken to prevent eye contact and avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. During application the use of eye protection and waterproof gloves are recommended. See material safety datasheet and product label for complete safety and precaution requirements.

measuring wet lm thickness a deviation is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the real applied wft this is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which retards the release of air trapped in the paint lm for some time recommendation is to apply a wft which is equal to the specied dft plus 60 m measuring dry lm thickness because of low initial hardness the dft cannot be measured within some days due to the penetration of the measuring device into the soft paint lm the dft should be measured using a calibration foil of known thickness placed in between the coating and the measuring device Overcoating with SigmaGuard 603 (spot repair and stripe coating) substrate temperature minimum interval maximum interval 5C 80 hours 20 days 10C 36 hours 20 days 20C 24 hours 20 days 30C 16 hours 14 days

To ensure proper mixing of both components the instructions given below must be followed. To avoid lumps in the paint do not add the binder to the zinc powder. 1) Take the bag with zinc powder out of the drum. 2) Shake the binder in the jerrycan a few times to reach a certain degree of homogenisation. 3) Pour about 2/3 of the binder in the empty drum. 4) With the jerrycan now reduced in weight and containing more free space, shake it vigorously to obtain a homogeneous mix with no deposits left on the bottom, and add this to the drum. 5) Add the zinc powder gradually to the pigmented binder in the drum and at the same time continuously stir the mixture by using a mechanical mixer (keep the speed low). 6) Stir the zinc dust powder thoroughly through the binder (high speed) and keep stirring till, a homogeneous mixture is obtained. 7) Strain mixture through a 30 - 60 mesh screen. 8) Agitate continuously during application (low speed). The use of a dedicated pump with a constant agitation for a zinc silicate coating is recommended. Note: At application temperature above 30C addition of max 10% by volume of Thinner 90-53 may be necessary. none 12 hours at 20 C *

measuring wet lm thickness a difference is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the real applied wft this is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which retards the release of air trapped in the paint lm for some time a practical recommendation is to apply a wft which is equal to the specied dft plus 60 m measuring dry lm thickness because of low initial hardness the dft cannot be measured within some days due to the penetration of the measuring device into the soft paint lm the dft should be measured using a calibration foil of known thickness placed in between the coating and the measuring device Overcoating table for SigmaGuard CSF 575 for dft up to 300 m substrate temperature minimum interval maximum interval 10C 4 days 28 days 20C 24 hours 20 days 30C 16 hours 14 days 40C 10 hours 14 days

Sufcient time for full-curing and ventilation must be allowed in accordance with the recommendations as stated in the latest Product Data Sheets and working procedure. Always an adequate washing procedure should be followed. Several adequate washing procedures are available and may be used (see e.g. washing procedure described in relevant certicate). Example of adequate washing procedures: 1. after full curing of the system as per the latest PDS, the tank should be lled completely with fresh tap water the fresh tap water should remain in the tanks at least 4 full days afterwards all tank compartments such as inner hull sides, bottom and deckheads etc. should be thoroughly washed using high pressure water after washing, the tanks should be thoroughly drained after this procedure the tanks will be t to carry drinking water

2. all personnel should wear watertight suits, boots and gloves properly cleaned with a sodium hypochlorite solution (1% active chlorine per liter) all tank sides, bottom and deckheads etc. should be brush cleaned or highpressure spray cleaned with 1% active chlorine solution as above note: this can also be done by butterworth washing all parts should be high pressure cleaned with tap water and tanks drained concentrated active chlorine solution should be sprinkled on bottom; approx. 1 ltr/10 m tanks should be lled with tap water to a depth of approx. 20 cm and the water should remain in the tank for at least 2 hours (max. 24 hours) tanks should be thoroughly ushed out with tap water depending upon local regulations it may be necessary to take water samples, after lling tank completely, to check on bacteria after this procedure the tanks will be t to carry drinking water Pot life (at application viscosity) 20 C 30 C 90 min. 60 min.

due to exothermic reaction, temperature during and after mixing may increase DISCLAIMER SigmaGuard CSF 585 is especially developed for the storage and transport of drinking water and is approved for purpose in accordance with the requirements of the relevant certicate (See sheet 1882). In order to fulll the requirements it is important that the coating is well ventilated during application and curing and that the coating has received full curing. Furthermore the recommended washing procedure should be followed before exposure to drinking water, in line with our latest datasheet and working procedure.After the washing procedure PPG Protective & Marine Coatings does not accept any responsibility or liability for any odour, taste or contamination imparted to the drinking water from the washing products retained in the coating.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

mixing ratio by volume: base to hardener 3 : 1 base component has to be agitated in the drum before adding hardener two 6-gallon pails of hardener are to be added to each drum of base under continuous agitation till homogeneous no solvents or thinners should be added to the mixture no induction time necessary in order to assure maximum potlife, the drums should be stored as cool as possible the amount of material mixed ate any one time should be less than what can be applied within 3 hours of mixing when storage and application temperatures are 24C (75F) or less, coating should be applied within 4 hours of mixing

IN SITU APPLICATION

application of this coating to internal pipe surfaces is accomplished by the use of pigs, pupjoints, compressors and other specialized equipment this application should be referred to contractors specializing and experienced in this type of work coating performance is dependent upon proper surface preparation, application and curing; these factors are not under the control of Sigma Coatings and therefore no warranty can be offered after the application of each coat, dry air has to be blown through the coated pipe until the next coat is applied (minimum overcoating interval) this will remove the solvents and accelerate the curing after the last coat is applied, fresh air blowing has to continue for a minimum of 24 hours depending on line length, it may be necessary to switch the direction of the fresh air Sigma thinner 90-53 for paint and recommended thinners see safety sheets 1430, 1431 and relevant material safety data sheets this is a solvent based paint and care should be taken to avoid inhalation of spray mist or vapour as well as contact between the wet paint and exposed skin or eyes

measuring wet lm thickness a deviation is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the real applied wft this is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which retards the release of air trapped in the paint lm for some time recommendation is to apply a wft which is equal to the specied dft plus 60 m measuring dry lm thickness because of low initial hardness the dft cannot be measured within some days due to the penetration of the measuring device into the soft paint lm the dft should be measured using a calibration foil of known thickness placed in between the coating and the measuring device

measuring wet lm thickness a deviation is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the real applied wft this is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which retards the release of air trapped in the paint lm for some time recommendation is to apply a wft which is equal to the specied dft plus 60 m measuring dry lm thickness because of low initial hardness the dft cannot be measured within some days due to the penetration of the measuring device into the soft paint lm the dft should be measured using a calibration foil of known thickness placed in between the coating and the measuring device

measuring wet lm thickness a deviation is often obtained between the measured apparent wft and the real applied wft this is due to the thixotropy and the surface tension of the paint which retards the release of air trapped in the paint lm for some time recommendation is to apply a wft which is equal to the specied dft plus 60 m maximum dry lm thickness because of low initial hardness the dft cannot be measured for some days (depending on ambient temperature) after application due to the penetration of the measuring device into the paint lm the dft should be measured using a calibration foil of known thickness placed in between the coating and the measuring device Overcoating table for SigmaShield 905 for dft up to 500 m substrate temperature minimum interval maximum interval 10C 36 hours 20 days 20C 24 hours 20 days 30C 16 hours 14 days 40C 12 hours 7 days

Pot life (at application viscosity) 20 C 30 C APPLICATION 30 min. 15 min.

A sprayable polymer mortar is a heavy material which has to be transported from the container with mixed material to the mortar spray gun or airless spray gun. So preferably 3/4 - 1 inch hoses should be used (for the airless spraying, just before the spraygun 5/8 inch). Care should be taken that hoses are of sufciently large diameter, are as short as possible and that no obstructions are present; otherwise the binder will be pressed out of the mortar leaving dry (untransportable) material behind. SigmaShield 1090 can be applied and compacted by trowels damaged areas should be reblasted and repaired with SigmaShield 1090 by means of lling knives porosity, blow holes and crevices in concrete should be lled with SigmaShield 1090 by hand (trowel/lling knife) larger areas can be resprayed with a beaker spray unit (e.g. Putzmeister) suitable for spraying materials like coarse lled mortars
other application methods may be possible, please contact the nearest PPG Protective & Marine Coatings sales ofce

Minimum Recoating: As soon as gel has occured and whilst still tacky The Maximum overcoating times can vary substantially with climatic conditions and such has to be observed. Standard is 48 hours at 20C, however strong UV /Sunlight will substantially reduce the overcoating time. Once maximum recoating time has been reached, adhesion values attained by an subsequent coat will reduce dramatically. Should this occur overcoating should be treated as repair, with the coating ash blasted to provide a physical key. Styrene cannot be used to reactivate the surface of this product and may impair adhesion. Take care to avoid contamination before application or subsequent coat. Ensure ventilation during cure.
The maximum recoating time will reduce signicantly at high temperature or in string sunlight

zinc rich primers can form zinc salts on the surface; preferably they should not be weathered for long periods before overcoating an interval of several months can be allowed under clean interior exposure conditions in clean exterior conditions, a maximum interval of 3 months can be tolerated, but in industrial or marine conditions this interval should be reduced to the practical minimum before overcoating visible surface contamination must be removed by high pressure water cleaning, sweep blasting or mechanical clean Curing Curing table for dft up to 100 m substrate temperature 10C 20C 30C touch dry 3 hours 2 hours 1 hour dry to handle 36 hours 8 hours 4 hours full cure 20 days 7 days 5 days

SigmaZinc 68 HS can be applied at temperatures between 5C and 10C, but the curing rate will be very low for such applications alternative zinc rich primers are recommended: SigmaZinc 19, SigmaZinc 158 and SigmaZinc 160 for systems exposed to atmospheric conditions, SigmaGuard 750 for systems exposed to immersed conditions adequate ventilation must be maintained during application and curing (please refer to sheets 1433 and 1434) Worldwide availability Whilst it is always the aim of Sigma Coatings to supply the same product on a worldwide basis, slight modication of the product is sometimes necessary to comply with local or national rules/circumstances.

To ensure proper mixing of both components the instructions given below must be followed. To avoid lumps in the paint do not add the binder to the zinc powder. 1) Take the bag with zinc powder out of the drum. 2) Shake the binder in the jerrycan a few times to reach a certain degree of homogenisation. 3) Pour about 2/3 of the binder in the empty drum. 4) With the jerrycan now reduced in weight and containing more free space, shake it vigorously to obtain a homogeneous mix with no deposits left on the bottom, and add this to the drum. 5) Add the zinc powder gradually to the pigmented binder in the drum and at the same time continuously stir the mixture by using a mechanical mixer (keep the speed low). 6) Stir the zinc dust powder thoroughly through the binder (high speed) and keep stirring till, a homogeneous mixture is obtained. 7) Strain mixture through a 30 - 60 mesh screen. 8) Agitate continuously during application (low speed). The use of a dedicated pump with a constant agitation for a zinc silicate coating is recommended. Note: At application temperature above 30C addition of max 10% by volume of Thinner 90-53 may be necessary. none 12 hours at 20C *

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

mixing ratio by volume: binder to zinc powder 78 : 22 Many of Sigma's zinc silicates are supplied as 2 pack materials consisting of a jerrycan with pigmented binder and a drum containing a bag of zinc powder. To ensure proper mixing of both components the instructions given below must be followed. To avoid lumps in the paint do not add the binder to the zinc powder. 1) Take the bag with zinc powder out of the drum. 2.) Shake the binder in the jerrycan a few times to reach a certain degree of homogenisation. 3.) Pour about 2/3 of the binder in the empty drum. 4.) With the jerrycan now reduced in weight and containing more free space, shake it vigorously to obtain a homogeneous mix with no deposits left on the bottom, and add this to the drum. 5.) Add the zinc powder gradually to the pigmented binder in the drum and at the same time continuously stir the mixture by using a mechanical mixer (keep the speed low). 6.) Stir the zinc dust powder thoroughly through the binder (high speed) and keep stirring till, a homogeneous mixture is obtained. 7.) Strain mixture through a 30 - 60 mesh screen. 8.) Agitate continuously during application (low speed). 9.) The use of a dedicated pump with a constant agitation for a zinc silicate coating is recommended. Note: At application temperature above 30C addition of max 10% by volume of Thinner 90-53 may be necessary. none 8 hours at 20 C *

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

mixing ratio by volume: binder to zinc powder 74 : 26 Many of Sigma's zinc silicates are supplied as 2 pack materials consisting of a jerrycan with pigmented binder and a drum containing a bag of zinc powder. To ensure proper mixing of both components the instructions given below must be followed. To avoid lumps in the paint do not add the binder to the zinc powder. Take the bag with zinc powder out of the drum. Shake the binder in the jerrycan a few times to reach a certain degree of homogenisation. Pour about 2/3 of the binder in the empty drum. With the jerrycan now reduced in weight and containing more free space, shake it vigorously to obtain a homogeneous mix with no deposits left on the bottom, and add this to the drum. Add the zinc powder gradually to the pigmented binder in the drum and at the same time continuously stir the mixture by using a mechanical mixer (keep the speed low). Stir the zinc dust powder thoroughly through the binder (high speed) and keep stirring till, a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Strain mixture through a 30 - 60 mesh screen.

GENERAL APPLICATION ASPECTS: The life of any protective system is determined by the dry film thickness of the anticorrosive coating system present on weldseams, sharp edges, bolts and nuts, these being the critical 20% of the surface area where breakdown begins. All critical areas should be given extra stripe coats with the same material as the consecutive coat of the system to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Giving more attention to these areas will extend the life of the maintenance system. The following parameters can be used. For hand laid welds: Beads with a surface irregularity exceeding 3 mm or with sharp crests having a radius under 2 mm should be ground. For sharp edges: All edges to be rounded off with a grinder to a radius of 2 mm or more. For pitting: Pitting in excess of 2 mm in depth and under 5 mm in diameter should be filled by welding or by use of an epoxy filler.

INDUSTRIAL: Conditions of high humidity, ultraviolet radiation and chemical pollution accelerate the corrosion process and require consideration regarding increased acidic fall out. The principal effect is corrosion due to sulphur dioxide attack and this environment is characterised by an average sulphur dioxide content of more than 10 g per m air. COASTAL: Conditions of high humidity, ultraviolet radiation and salt spray will accelerate the corrosion process, aggravated by wind borne particles. This environment is characterised by a salt content in rain water of more than 12 mg per litre rain.

GENERAL APPLICATION ASPECTS: The life of any protective system is determined by the dry film thickness of the anticorrosive coating system present on weldseams, sharp edges, bolts and nuts, these being the critical 20% of the surface area where breakdown begins. All critical areas should be given extra stripe coats with the same material as the consecutive coat of the system to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Giving more attention to these areas will extend the life of the maintenance system. The following parameters can be used. For hand laid welds: Beads with a surface irregularity exceeding 3 mm or with sharp crests having a radius under 2 mm should be ground. For sharp edges: All edges to be rounded off with a grinder to a radius of 2 mm or more. For pitting: Pitting in excess of 2 mm in depth and under 5 mm in diameter should be filled by welding or by use of an epoxy filler.

EXPOSURE CONDITIONS:

INDUSTRIAL: Conditions of high humidity, ultraviolet radiation and chemical pollution accelerate the corrosion process and require consideration regarding increased acidic fall-out. The principal effect is corrosion due to sulphur dioxide attack and this environment is characterised by an average sulphur dioxide content of more than 10 g per m air. Additional abrasion and impact exposure is expected. COASTAL: Conditions of high humidity, ultraviolet radiation and salt spray will accelarate the corrosion process, aggravated by wind borne particles. This environment is characterised by a salt content in rain water of more than 12 mg per litre rain. Additional abrasion and impact exposure is expected.

GENERAL ASPECTS: To obtain good performance it is essential that the old paint system should be completely removed. For maximum performance the surface should be abrasive blast cleaned to a suitable anchor pattern.

GENERAL APPLICATION ASPECTS: The life of any protective system is determined by the dry film thickness of the anticorrosive coating system present on weldseams, sharp edges, bolts and nuts, these being the critical 20% of the surface area where breakdown begins. All critical areas should be given extra stripe coats with the same material as the consecutive coat of the system to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Giving more attention to these areas will extend the life of the maintenance system. The following parameters can be used. For hand laid welds: Beads with a surface irregularity exceeding 3 mm or with sharp crests having a radius under 2 mm should be ground. For sharp edges: All edges to be rounded off with a grinder to a radius of 2 mm or more. For pitting: Pitting in excess of 2 mm in depth and under 5 mm in diameter should be filled by welding or by use of an epoxy filler.

GENERAL APPLICATION ASPECTS: The life time of any protective system is determined by the dry film thickness of the anticorrosive system present on weldseams, sharp edges, bolts and nuts, these being the critical 20% of the actual surface area. All critical areas should be given extra stripe coats with the same material as the consecutive coat of the system to achieve the specified dry film thickness. By giving more attention to these areas, the life time of the maintenance system will be extended. The following parameters can be used. For hand laid welds: Beads with a surface irregularity exceeding 3 mm or with sharp crests having a radius under 2 mm a grinder should be applied. For sharp edges: All edges to be rounded off with a grinder to a radius of 2 mm or more. For pitting: Pitting in excess of 2 mm in depth and under 5 mm in diameter should be filled by welding or by use of an epoxy filler.

April 2009 revision of September 2005

EXPOSURE CONDITIONS:

Non-saline water: Sea water:

hot water applicable to e.g. water tanks, storage tanks and domestic water systems. hot sea and other saline waters.

GENERAL ASPECTS: Protection against hot water by a coating system is in fact very critical. Only the combination of very good pretreatment, correct film thicknesses, good curing and optimal ventilation after application of the coating will give the desired protection against the influence of hot water. Good surface preparation is essential if good performance of hot water resistant systems is to be achieved. A pitted corroded surface, impurities in the protective coating or bad workmanship will result in failures. In service the steel substrate should have about the same temperature as the hot water itself in order to avoid blistering (as a result of the cold wall effect). Equipment, tank or vessel must therefore be sheltered against cold wind and/or insulated adequately to reduce heat transfer through the steel wall plus coating system. Application of the paints must be done very carefully, avoiding excess thickness, avoiding solvent trapping and maintaining good ventilation and curing conditions throughout the application process. (See sheet 1434). Forced curing by means of hot water of 60C or by means of hot air will give definitely better results and is strongly recommended.

GENERAL APPLICATION ASPECTS: The life of any protective system is determined by the dry film thickness of the anticorrosive coating system present on weldseams, sharp edges, bolts and nuts, these being the critical 20% of the surface area where breakdown begins. All critical areas should be given extra stripe coats with the same material as the consecutive coat of the system to achieve the specified dry film thickness. Giving more attention to these areas will extend the life of the maintenance system. The following parameters can be used. For hand laid welds: Beads with a surface irregularity exceeding 3 mm or with sharp crests having a radius under 2 mm should be ground. For sharp edges: All edges to be rounded off with a grinder to a radius of 2 mm or more. For pitting: Pitting in excess of 2 mm in depth and under 5 mm in diameter should be filled by welding or by a scrapelayer of the solvent free epoxy of the coating system (Novaguard 840 or Sigmaguard CSF 650).

SYSTEM

4113
September 2005 revision of October 2004

EXPOSURE CONDITIONS:

INDUSTRIAL: Conditions of high humidity, ultraviolet radiation and chemical pollution will accelerate the corrosion process and require consideration regarding increased acidic fall out. The principal effect is corrosion due to sulphur dioxide attack and this environment is characterised by an average sulphur dioxide content of more than 10 g per m air. COASTAL: Conditions of high humidity, ultraviolet radiation and salt spray will accelerate the corrosion process, aggravated by wind borne particles. This environment is characterised by a salt content in rain water of more than 12 mg per litre rain.

GENERAL ASPECTS: Due to its good anticorrosive properties, zinc epoxy primers are often specified for new fabrication. However, in maintenance coating systems zinc epoxy primers cannot be applied on top of existing organic coatings, because of lack of adhesion. Nevertheless as a result of the good experience with the new fabrication coating system it is often decided to start the maintenance coating system again with a zinc epoxy primer. In that case a full reblast of the substrate is necessary. If a full reblast is impossible other recommendations for maintenance are given in sheets 4041-4042.

DIRECTIVES FOR VENTILATION PRACTICE

a three page issue

1434
June 2013 revision of 10-1999

Ventilation is required for reasons of health and safety. In addition for solvent containing coatings the quality of a coating system is greatly affected by the amount and type of residual solvent in the layer when the coating dries or cures. Adhesion, water resistance, mechanical and chemical properties can all be adversely affected when solvents remain trapped in the paint film. Very slow evaporation of trapped solvents can also develop internal stresses due to shrinkage. The ventilation must be maintained throughout the application process at a minimum level of 10% of LEL value and for a period after application is completed when the paint cures or dries. As a guide line for good ventilation after application the confined space should be ventilated 4 to 5 times its contents per hour. Product data sheets indicate when any special ventilation requirements are required. Hot ventilation: Ventilating air with too high temperature can cause surface curing of epoxy coatings and although it may be necessary to produce a dry substrate before painting, the steel and air temperature should be such that when the application starts, the temperature of the ventilation (dehumidifier/heater) should be dropped so that the conditions stay stable. Hot ventilation air should be replaced by cool dry ventilation air as soon as possible after application of any coat is completed. Good ventilation consists of at least extraction at the lowest areas, but in most cases when controlled conditions are needed, also of air input (dry and/or heated). The combination of in and output must be correctly balanced. The opening of the extraction hose should be close to the bottom of the tank (approx 30-60 cm). Ventilation air should be directed to the bottom of the tank or compartment and should be extracted by exhaust fans of correctly balanced capacity. For complex structures the ventilation should be distributed over all compartments and confined spaces in order to facilitate good ventilation in all areas. BALLAST TANKS AND OTHER CONFINED SPACES. Due to regulations of the shipbuilding industry ballast tanks and double skin tanks count for many square meters confined spaces. Therefore it is necessary to pay good attention to the ventilation conditions during application, drying and curing of the coating on these areas. Depending on the structure of the ballast tanks, forced ventilation or natural ventilation is used during coating of the new building blocks. However, natural ventilation in many cases is not sufficient due to half open box conditions and can cause serious drawbacks related to health and safety as well as curing and performance of the coating. When ventilation is not sufficient solvents will not be removed, but will drift to the lower part of the section. As normally first the upperparts of a section will be painted, the solvents evaporating from the applied coating will drift to the lower part where it will attack the earlier applied coating (not yet fully cured) and this coating will absorb part of the solvents and swell. This coating will then be overcoated and problems related to bad adhesion, curing, water resistance etc. will result. In case of waterborne paints, this advice is not valid. Water vapour rises to the upper areas of the tank and may give condensation. Therefore it is recommended to position an extra exhaust outlet at the top of the tank.

PSX 700 EPOXY SILOXANE QUALITY ASPECTS APPLICATION

A three page issue

1721
June 2013

INTRODUCTION PSX 700 Epoxy Siloxane coating is a high quality solvent free product developed to achieve long lasting corrosion protection as a durable finish over anti corrosive primer systems. This document is created to maximize the advantages this product can offer. To achieve the maximum performance and attractive finish PSX 700 should be applied according its application instructions. The nature of its solvent free composition is main cause for a number of precautions that should be taken into account when applying this material. 1. COLOUR AND GLOSS PSX 700 is formulated with a very high colour pigment loading to ensure hiding power when applied as a one coat finish directly on zinc dust based primers. The full range of industrial colours is produced using special PSX colour tinters and six different PSX 700 base coats. The solvent free colour tinters of PSX 700 are based on the same binder technology. The unique product properties of PSX 700 are not reduced by organic acrylate binders as commonly used in universal tint systems. This unique tinting system also avoids variation in properties with varying tinter volumes from different colours. To ensure colour continuity it is recommended that repairs or overlapping surfaces are made using one tint batch. Also different application techniques may influence product colour and appearance. When there is to a longer time lap between initial application and repair it is recommended to extend repairs to edges or welds coating full areas which will minimize visibility of colour variations between batches. 2. MIXING PSX 700 Epoxy Siloxane is a two component product. The curing and crosslinking is a balanced process of hydrolyzation and reaction between the base coat and hardener. The mixing ration between base coat and hardener is 4 to 1 by volume. This ratio is of high importance and care must be taken that accuracy is ensured. Preferably only full units are mixed. Splitting units must be reduced to the absolute minimum. Inaccurate mixing may result in reduced performance of the product. The high difference in viscosity between base and hardener needs to be taken into account when using plural component spray equipment. Plural component spray equipment must be equipped with a volume metering system and ensure that no back-flow of the low viscosity hardener or reduced volume supply of the high viscous base can occur. 3. THINNERS PSX 700 is supplied as a solvent free product with related application advantage of having no flash points. Thinning is not required under most circumstances. However, contrary to typical solvent free products PSX 700 can be thinned to accommodate the product to particular application conditions if required. It must be realized that after thinning PSX 700 the flashpoint of the used thinner needs to be taken into account during application. It is essential that thinning of PSX 700 is always done with the recommended thinners. The solvent free nature of PSX 700 can result in incompatibility effects when unsuitable solvents are used. Effects can influence proper mixing of components, curing, flow and colour. Thinners to be used are PPG Thinner 60-12 (Amercoat 911) or Thinner 21-06 (Amercoat 65). When used above 32C (90F) the Thinner 21-25 (Amercoat 101) is recommended. The recommended equipment cleaner is PPG Thinner 90-58 (Amercoat 12)

4. OVERCOATING OF INORGANIC ZINC PRIMERS A mist coat / full coat application technique is required when applying over inorganic zinc primers to prevent application bubbling. Thin the mist coat up to 15% with PPG Thinner 60-12 (Amercoat 911). When used on substrates with temperatures above 32C (90F) use Thinner 21-25 (Amercoat 101). Ensure dry spray is removed from the surface. See also Information sheet 1706 for further recommendations on overcoating zinc based primers. 5. STRIPE COATING When PSX 700 is used as top coat in a two coat system it is of importance that the system thickness is accurate on all critical areas like edges, corners, welding seams and difficult to reach locations. It is required to apply on the primer coat an epoxy stripe coat on all these areas before application of PSX 700. It is recommended to use for this a contrasting, recoatable epoxy primer or build coat. Check with your PPG Protective & Marine Coatings representative for a selection of options. 6. FILM THICKNESS The inorganic nature and hydrolyzation process that occurs while curing of PSX 700 is resulting in a volume reduction of this material. Although solvent free it results in the final retained solids content of 90 volume % as is indicated on the Product Datasheet. It is for this reason that the application at a wet film thickness over 275 microns that will result in a dry film thickness over 250 microns is not acceptable. PSX 700 should always be applied in recommended dry film thicknesses between 75 and 175 microns measured as described in ISO 12944 Part 5 with a maximum dft. of 250 microns. Exceeding this maximum with a second repair coat is only acceptable when this first layer is fully cured. (alternative: 30 days after application of the first layer) 7. RECOATING When recoating new applied PSX 700 on repair areas with too low thickness or on damaged places it may occur that the fresh cured PSX 700 rejects adhesion of the second coat. This is usually shown immediately by a cissing or crawling back effect of the new wet applied material. In such occurrence the area to be repaired must first be solvent wiped with Thinner 21-06 (Amercoat 65). This will remove the effect and make the surface recoatable again. After aging and weathering exposure for longer periods the solvent cleaning before recoating is no longer required. 8. FORCE CURING When PSX 700 is to be cured with force curing equipment care must be taken that after application a short induction time of more 10 minutes at ambient conditions is used before exposer to hot air. This short pre-reaction time will prevent boiling-off from the low viscous hardener causing the mixing ration going off balance. It will also prevent breaking-up of the thixotropic agent in the formulation that could otherwise cause sagging of film forming disturbances of the wet film. Force curing should be limited to 90C (195F) to avoid any affects on the product performance or colour accuracy.

1.0 Introduction

Sigmashield 4800/4801 coatings and linings are high performance, glass flake reinforced ester and polyester products developed and supplied under PPG Industries strict standards of quality control and in compliance with its ISO 9001:2000 registration. The permeability of resin-based linings can be significantly reduced by the use of high performance flake fillers, and due to their size and purity glass flakes exhibit outstanding performance in this respect. As they are only 3-4 microns thick there can be as many as 150 layers of overlapping glass flakes in a 1 mm thick coating. The distribution and nature of the glass flake throughout the coating has a reinforcing effect, increasing resistance to impact and abrasion, enhancing resistance to undercutting. Shrinkage stress in the resin is reduced and the coefficient of expansion becomes closer to that of steel, which with its excellent adhesion makes Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 ideally suited to the lining of steel vessels where thermal shock is encountered. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 cures by a chemical reaction, which is initiated by use of a catalyst. The product is supplied as a base component (a blend of resin and reinforcing glass flake) and a separate catalyst, which is added to the base just prior to application. The reaction between the base and the catalyst is exothermic and produces an increase in temperature, which can significantly reduce the effective working pot life. It is therefore essential to follow the recommended procedure as closely as possible to avoid undue wastage of material and damage to equipment. All information given in this literature is based on a catalyst level of 0.5% of total weight, which will provide the optimal protection for the majority of applications. It is possible to adjust the ratio of catalyst between 0.5% and 1%, however, an increase in catalyst will significantly reduce pot life and variation of catalyst level is at the users own discretion. In certain cases, where the ultimate in chemical resistance is required, it may be necessary to post cure the coating by means of additional heating. In such cases the specification for the job in question will identify the need. Further information relating to individual products is given in the relevant data sheet and the detailed project specification.

2.0 Safe Use and Disposal of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801

This information is given as a basic guide only and no liability can be accepted for any errors or omissions, or for any action or inaction on the part of the user. Users must ensure that they have undertaken a proper risk assessment of any process involving the use of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 have made themselves fully aware of the necessary safe handling precautions. Reference should be made to the relevant Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 Product Safety Data Sheet, Container Label and Product Technical Data Sheet. In the UK the Health and Safety Executive have issued a guidance note entitled: Guidance Note CS21 'The Storage and Handling of Organic Peroxides'. Where UK HSE guidance is relevant, customers are advised to obtain a copy of this document for reference.

2.1 Hazards Associated with Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 catalyst

The catalyst used to cure Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 is supplied in small polythene bottles, separate to the pigmented 'base' component. The catalyst is a highly reactive, combustible and thermally unstable substance that can undergo self accelerating decomposition. It is also powerful oxidising agent and will react violently with other organic chemicals. Selfaccelerating decomposition occurs when a reaction generates heat (an exotherm), which speeds up the reaction generating still more heat and so on. This can lead to the release of hot flammable gases, which may ignite spontaneously. Explosion can occur where these gases are contained and unable to escape. Initiation of the runaway reaction can be by heating or by contamination (at concentrations as low as parts per million) with various substances. Where organic peroxides are spilled onto combustible materials such as paper or wood a fire may result. The recommended storage temperature of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 catalyst is between +5 C and +25 C and should be strictly observed. Specific legislation governs the storage of organic peroxides and HSE Guidance Note CS21 gives details of these as well as guidance on the construction and operation of dedicated storage facilities. The principal storage recommendations are: Keep in original containers Hold within the predetermined temperature limits Keep in dedicated stores Prevent contact/contamination with other materials Minimise the quantity at the workplace - only have present enough for the job in hand Always wear as a minimum, face shield and gloves designed for use with chemical liquids.

2.2 Disposal
Reference should be made to the MSDS and to Guidance Note CS21 (where applicable) but in general Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 catalyst must not be mixed with other products and must be kept separate from the base until it is required for mixing and application.

2.2.1 Disposal of Waste from Mixing and Application Operations

There are four scenarios to consider for disposal: 2.2.1.1 Unmixed base. Dispose of as 'special waste. Poses no greater risk than other paint types. 2.2.1.2 Mixed paint. If units are mixed only as required then the quantity is likely to be less than 20 litres. Part filled units (less than 20 litres) are placed in a 'bath of cold water such that the water Ievel comes almost to the top of the pail but does not cover it. This will dissipate the heat generated allowing the reaction to proceed in a controlled manner. Once the mixed material has fully reacted and cooled (usually overnight would be sufficient) it may be disposed of as special waste'. 2.2.1.3 Full or part bottles of peroxide catalyst. A waste container of clean water should be available in which to pour the contents of a full or part full bottle of peroxide catalyst. Care should be taken to ensure that the volume of peroxide added does not exceed the volume of clean water initially in the container. The peroxide will be de-activated by the water and thus 'made safe'. The wastewater should then be disposed of as 'special waste - water containing di-isobutyl phthalate'. 2.2.1.4 Empty used bottles of peroxide containing dregs'. As above these should be washed out using clear water, the washings being contained in a special waste' container and disposed of as in c. above.

2.2.2 Disposal of Spillage

Prior to first use of the product a full risk analysis must be conducted and the most appropriate method defined. The requisite equipment can then be made available and staff trained to deal quickly and safely with any spillage that occurs.

2.2.2.1 Spillage of the base component

This is best contained and collected with a non-combustible material e.g. Vermiculite and placed in a suitable container. It may safely be disposed of as 'special waste'.

2.2.2.2 Spillage of the base component

This is best contained and collected with a non-combustible material e.g. Vermiculite and placed in a suitable container. DO NOT then confine the collected waste in a container with a tight fitting lid. Immerse the waste container in a bath of cold water as detailed in 2.2.1.2 above. Once cool dispose of as 'special waste'.

2.2.2.3 A spillage of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 catalyst

This needs to be dealt with quickly and the most appropriate method will depend on the quantity spilled, the floor type and other hazards such as electrical equipment. In all cases water may be used to de-activate the peroxide and it is strongly recommended that sufficient clean water is available at the workplace to deal with any spill that may occur. On a non-absorbent floor where pooling of the spillage may occur it may be more appropriate to contain and collect the spill using a non-combustible material e.g. Vermiculite and place this in a suitable container. DO NOT then confine the collected waste in the container with a tight fitting lid. Thoroughly soak the contained waste with water to deactivate the peroxide, leave overnight in a safe place and dispose of as 'special waste - containing di-isobutyl phthalate'. On floors that are absorbent the peroxide may quickly soak into the surface making the use of Vermiculite impracticable. Use copious amounts of water to de-activate the peroxide as quickly as possible but be aware of any hazards such as electrical equipment. Do no allow the waste to enter the drains. Collect the waste and dispose of as 'special waste - containing di-isobutyl phthalate'. Keep the workplace and floor area clear of organic paint, which will react with peroxide catalyst. Do not attempt to soak up a spill using paper, rags, etc, as these will react with the catalysts and may spontaneously ignite. Do not dispose of empty or surplus peroxide catalyst in: Empty drums of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 base or mixed paint Part full drums of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 base or mixed paint Other waste containers such as skips, etc Before disposal consideration should be given to the Control of Pollution Act and The Environmental Protection Act. Specific advice and guidance should also be sought from the Environmental Agency using information presented in the Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 MSDS.

2.3 Specific Hazards to be aware of when handling and applying

Sigmashield 4800 / 4801

The following is not an exhaustive list of safe practices with peroxide catalyst, but are based on specific hazards that have occurred in the workplace during the use of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 . All users are strongly advised to read all literature available including HSE Guidance Note CS21, Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 MSDS, TDS and Container Labels or contact PPG Industries for advice.

2.3.1 Addition of hydrocarbon solvent to thin the material.

As noted above when peroxides react they generate heat, which increases the temperature of the bulk. The increased temperature accelerates the reaction, which increases the temperature still further. As the temperature rises the volatile solvents are driven off and at some point the temperature may become high enough to spontaneously ignite the vapours. Never add any solvent to Sigmashield 4800 / 4801

2.3.2 Addition of MEKP to base that is not being stirred.

Where the catalyst is added without stirring there is a localised high concentration of organic peroxide. Such a localised concentration difference could be considered as 'contamination of the peroxide, a known cause of runaway reaction. The temperature may increase sufficiently to cause auto-ignition. Never add catalyst without continuous stirring.

2.3.3 Excessive addition of MEKP to base.

The more peroxide added to the base, the faster the reaction progresses increasing the rate of heating and therefore reducing the time to reach auto-ignition temperature. Correct handling of peroxide and adherence to our published guidelines will avoid these problems. Never add more than the recommended amount of catalyst.

2.3.4 Mixed material left to stand over break periods.

As described above the reaction generates heat, which drives the reaction faster, in turn generating more heat, and so on. If the heat cannot be lost faster than it can be generated a runaway reaction will occur. Using the material reduces the bulk in the container, which reduces the potential for heat build-up. When applied on a surface the large area allows heat to dissipate more quickly than it builds up. Do not allow mixed material to stand. The pot life is short and as well as the risks of fire can Iead to application equipment seizing up. Read the data sheets for information relating to the pot life.

2.3.5 Disposal of MEKP into waste skips containing organic matter.

Do not dispose of empty or part empty Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 catalyst containers in waste skips or in empty pails of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 base. At the point of contact between the peroxide and the 'organic matter' there is a high concentration of peroxide. This is a 'contamination' situation similar to that discussed above and can Iead to a runaway reaction and subsequent fire.

3.0 Surface Preparation

3.1 Steel Surfaces
3.1.1 Preparation Prior to Blast Cleaning
3.1.1.1 Degreasing All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from oil, grease, and other surface contaminants prior to grit blasting. This may be carried out by high-pressure hot water detergent wash and rinse, or scrubbing with an emulsifiable solvent degreaser followed by thorough fresh water rinsing. Apart from small areas, solvent cleaning by hand is not recommended, as there is a tendency for oil and grease to be spread around and re-deposited on the surface as the solvent evaporates. Where it is unavoidable, very frequent changes of a suitable absorbent cotton cloth are essential. Health and Safety Regulations must also be observed. Ultra High Pressure (UHP) Water Blasting at pressures in excess of 25,000 psi, is also an effective method for the removal of oil and grease. 3.1.1.2 Surface Defect Repair All surface defects, including weld splatter, cracks, surface laminations and deep pitting likely to be detrimental to the protective paint system must be removed. All fins at saw cuts; burrs and sharp edges shall be removed by grinding to a minimum radius of 3mm. Welds must be inspected for condition, as these are often a source of corrosion. Undercut welds, blowholes, discontinuous seams and other defects must be rectified by building up with new weld. Uneven welds are likely to be the source of corrosion and high spots will need to be ground smooth. It is not necessary to grind flush. 3.1.1.3 Blast Cleaning Blasting should not take place when the relative humidity is greater than 90% and the surface temperature of the steel is less than 3C below the temperature of the dew point. Surfaces should be prepared by blast cleaning to BS 7079 Part A1:1989 (ISO 8501-1:1988), Sa 2.5 and shall have a surface profile conforming with COARSE grade using ISO 8503-1 (1988) BS 7079 Part E1 (1989) Grit Comparator. If a surface profile comparator is not available then the measured profile should be in the range 75 125 microns. The risk of oil impregnated grit re-contaminating the surface cannot be stressed too strongly. For this reason the use of re-cycled grit is not recommended. Spent abrasives should be removed completely from prepared surfaces by vacuum cleaning, stiff brushing, or by blowing clean with dry, oil-free compressed air. Freedom from residual grit, shot, dust, etc. shall be checked by the use of transparent self-adhesive tape. The adhesive side of the tape should be pressed onto the surface and when removed, inspected for adherent rust, scale and abrasive dust. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 should be applied before visible re-rusting occurs or within 4 hours (in an internal environment), whichever is the sooner. If discolouration or flash rusting occurs, it will be necessary to re-blast surfaces as above. Inhibitive treatments applied to the steel to prevent re-rusting are not to be used.

3.1.1.4 Soluble salt contamination The maximum recommended chloride ion concentration on the steel surface is 5 g/cm2. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 products are not suitable for application to zinc based surfaces, including inorganic zinc silicate, zinc rich epoxy, zinc metal spray or galvanised steel.

3.2 Concrete Surfaces

3.2.1 Concrete Preparation
Concrete is by nature a variable surface for the application of coatings and linings. Each job needs to be carefully assessed individually before treatment, to evaluate the best method of surface preparation. This is particularly the case with old unknown concrete and PPG Industries Technical Department should be consulted for advice and to determine the need for a site inspection. In general the following points should be taken into consideration: Concrete must be at least eight weeks old with moisture content of no more than 5%. Skimmed floors may well suffer from surface laitance, which is best removed by controlled blast cleaning to avoid exposing concrete aggregate. In the case of coarse concrete, mechanical scabbling may be a more advisable alternative. All cracks and other imperfections should be cut out with square edges and made good with an approved cement mortar or filler. The edges must be close knit and the filling level with the surrounding surface. All knibs should be removed, and repairs allowed to dry thoroughly before being coated.

4.0 Handling, Storage and Application Guidelines

4.1 Storage
The Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 are supplied in 20 Kg or 5 Kg units, which are supplied with a bottle containing 2% of 714 by weight. For application under elevated temperature ambient conditions above 25C the material is supplied in a retarded form. This assists in controlling the rate of temperature increase and in extending the workable pot life at these higher temperatures. Under extreme application temperature conditions additional retarder may be required. This would normally be supplied following discussion with PPG Industries. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 must be stored between +5 C and +25 C. The lower the temperature at the time of mixing, the longer the workable pot life.

4.2 Mixing Procedure For Sigmashield 4800 / 4801

In hot climates surface temperatures can easily reach 60C in direct sunlight so remove only sufficient containers for immediate use and keep in the shade. Stand these on a wooden pallet or similar to reduce heat transmission from the ground before mixing and during application. The temperature of the mixed material should be monitored; once this exceeds 40C the remaining working pot life is severely limited. The following graph shows practical pot life carried out under high temperature conditions and clearly demonstrates the influence of initial temperature on working pot life. In the case of the samples mixed at the higher temperature pot lives are unacceptably low for practical use, whereas samples cooled initially to 25C before mixing have acceptable working pot lives. WARNING Pot lives are only approximate. Should obvious thickening or lumpiness develop the material must immediately be removed and discarded and the equipment flushed using Thinner 50-02 Never add 714 to the base before adding and thoroughly mixing retarder if supplied separately. Never add 714 to the retarder or vice versa. Never attempt to thin Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 with Thinner or other solvents, since these can seriously impair the performance of the material.

4.3 Application
Minimum air temperature 3C Maximum relative humidity 85% Steel temperature must be at least 3C above the dew point temperature. Maximum air/substrate temp 45C

4.3.1 Spray Application

A mechanical stirrer of the paddle type is required for mixing the material prior to use. An open top pail containing appropriate cleansing solvent (Thinner 50-02) should be available for flushing pump unit, together with a selection of tools for removal of gun, hoses and pump wet end. Operatives must wear suitable protective clothing and appropriate health and safety advice to be followed in all cases. The spray pump should be an airless type with a minimum ratio of 45:1 and a delivery rate of 4 litres per minute. The pump should be fitted with leather seals although Teflon (PTFE) is acceptable. All fluid filters should be removed from the system. A 10mm (3/8) I.D. nylon fluid hose is required. Fluid hose of small diameter is unsuitable and must not be used. The gun should be large bore mastic type (Graco Hydramastic Golden) fitted with swivel connector to allow free movement of the hose. Tip size between 0.58mm and 1.01mm (23-40 thou) can be used with appropriate fan angle for the piece to be coated. Reverse-a-clean or Titan adjustable tips are ideally suited to this application. It is recommended that spray equipment is flushed with styrene monomer immediately before spraying and cleaned with Thinner 50-02 during and at the completion of the spray operation. We recommend flushing of the equipment be undertaken at regular intervals if significant quantities of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 are to be applied. Ideally, two airless spray pumps should be employed, one for spraying, whilst the second pump is circulating solvent (Thinner 50-02) ready for switching, every hour (or less as circumstances dictate) to prevent possible seizing of equipment with catalysed material. Working pot life after mixing of retarded material normally 40 minutes at an initial mixing temperature of 25C.

4.3.2 Application Procedure for Press Faced Flanges

This procedure covers the application of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 glass flake reinforced polyester and ester linings on flanges to obtain the smoothest possible finish. Surface should be grit blasted and primed in accordance with the relevant application data sheets, and one coat of the lining system applied. A melamine-faced chipboard (16mm thick) should be obtained and cut to the outside size of the flange face to be lined. Ideally this board should be drilled to accept nuts and bolts for clamping it in place through bolt holes already present in the flange, alternatively G clamps can be used but these are only really suitable for small flanges. This should then be thoroughly waxed and polished 3 to 5 times using a suitable mould release wax. A small quantity of the specified Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 material should then be mixed thoroughly with the correct quantity and type of 714 and applied at approximately 1000 microns onto the waxed surface. Allow to cure. The glass flake material on the board should be over-coated with freshly mixed material and the flange face should be coated simultaneously while the two surfaces are still wet they should be clamped together as described in 4 above. Remove excess material, for example in nozzle bore while in the uncured state. Leave overnight before removing board by sharp lateral force. Clean off excess material from edges, bore, and bolt holes using a rasp or file taking care not to penetrate through to the steel.

NB: For raised face flanges a spacer may be incorporated into the wet material on the Melamine board if considered necessary, to ensure a minimum thickness.

4.4 Removal and Repair Procedure

Existing surfaces should be clean and free from previous cargo, contamination, etc. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 should be removed using angle grinders to a firm edge and these edges feathered to provide a gentle transition from substrate to the original upper surface. The underlying steel surface should then be spot-blasted in accordance with section 3.1.1.3 immediately prior to coating. The Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 system should then be re-applied to the specified film thickness in line with the recommendations set down elsewhere in this manual.

5.0 Spreading Rates and Overcoating Times

5.1 Spreading Rates
The spreading rates shown in our Technical Data Sheets as 'Theoretical Spread at Normal Dry Film Thickness' are calculated from the volume solids of that product. The figure given is the spread that would be achieved if the paint were applied evenly to a plane surface without any losses at the dry film thickness indicated. The theoretical volume spread rate is calculated by the equation: m2 /ltr = 10 x % v (s) DFT in microns The theoretical weight spread rate is calculated by the equation: m2 /kg = 10 x % v (s) DFT in microns x SG or Kg /m2 = DFT in microns x SG 10 x % v (s)

Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 contains styrene, which is not considered a solvent as it chemically reacts with the resin in the presence of the 714. Hence Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 has a theoretical volume solids of 100%. However, styrene is volatile and a small amount can be lost during application prior to reaction occurring. Also Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 can physically 'shrink' as the polymer cures. Together these two factors can lead to the practical thickness being less than that expected theoretically. To account for this our Technical Data Sheets show a typical, practical volume solid of 80% 5%. Many factors must be considered when estimating practical spreading rates of paint and allowance must be made for: Surface Profile The degree of roughness of a surface (which may be natural, due to erosion/corrosion or from abrasive blasting) has an effect on the amount of paint used to cover the surface. This factor has a greater influence on first coat paints than on subsequent coats. Surface Porosity The degree of porosity of concrete and other surfaces will obviously have an effect on the amount of paint used, especially in the case of the first coat. The more porous the surface the more paint will be used.

Method of Application Spray application generally causes more losses of paint than other methods, e.g. brush or roller. Quite severe losses can be caused due to over-spray and due to windy conditions during external painting. Normal Wastage This would include drips from brushes/rollers, residues left unused in spray pipelines, on brushes and in pots, drums, etc. Accessibility of Surfaces to be Painted Losses can occur if staging is erected in such a way as to make it difficult for painters to apply paint. Similarly, bad lighting or obstructions, which may make continuous work difficult, can also cause wastage. Over Application Where a minimum dry film thickness is specified an operator will normally apply more than the minimum in order to avoid deficiency corrections at a later stage. Measured dry film thicknesses are generally, therefore, found to be higher than the minimum film thickness specified. The variable nature of these and other factors mean that it is difficult for the paint manufacturer to give recommendations wastage. The estimation of a suitable allowance to cover losses in any particular circumstances can be best undertaken by the professional painting contractor or estimator in the light of their wider practical experience.

5.2 Over-coating Times

The minimum over-coating times which we show in our data sheets indicate the time to be allowed for the drying and sufficient hardening of the coating before applying further coats of paint and assume: That the coating has been applied at the normal recommended thickness. That the drying conditions during and after application were good, particularly in respect of temperature, ventilation and relative humidity. That the paint used for over-coating is suitable for the purpose and is applied by a suitable method.

It will be appreciated that the over-coating times shown in the data sheets are liable to variation if the above conditions are not met. Maximum over-coating times, where shown, indicate the optimum period wherein over-coating should be undertaken, to obtain satisfactory inter-coat adhesion. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 products have an 'air inhibited surface' and are therefore indefinitely over-coatable (except wax topcoat). The over-coating times do not indicate the time required to develop maximum chemical or weather resistance

GENERAL For ease of reference figures are usually stated in one unit only. Equivalents are given in the conversion tables. See sheets 1410 Conversion tables, 1412 Nomograph conversion from english units to metric units and 1413 S.I. units. All values are given for temperature of 20C (68F) and relative humidity of 70%, unless stated otherwise. GLOSS With a Lange gloss gauge 5 ranges of gloss have been determined, compared with a standard sheet of black polished glass. The gloss values are determined on Lange gloss gauge (angle 60) according to ISO 2813 (= ASTM D-523). The expressions used in the data sheets are: Flat corresponds with 0- 15% Eggshell corresponds with 15- 30% Semi-gloss corresponds with 30- 60% Gloss corresponds with 60- 80% High-gloss corresponds with 80-100% (at 20 angle above 70%) In practice, the level of gloss and surface finish will be dependent upon a number of factors, including application and the condition of the surface to be overcoated. COLOUR For products supplied in different colours three colour quality levels exist: 1. Good For finishes in general, especially based on polyurethane, this quality matches the colour standard 2. Approximate For undercoats and low gloss topcoats in general, this quality level is close to the colour standard 3. Best Match For primers in general, this quality level is near to the colour standard MICACEOUS IRON OXIDE AND/OR ALUMINIUM CONTAINING PAINTS Micaceous iron oxide and/or aluminium containing paints show different appearance and colour impression depending on thickness and application method. A touch-up by brushing may be visible on a sprayed area. SHELF LIFE The period from the date of manufacture during which the paint can be transported and stored in undamaged and unopened packing at temperatures between 5-35C, without any influence on the application or performance of the paint. After exceeding this period the paint is subject to reinspection. Water-borne products must be protected from freezing at all times during storage and/or transport.

SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS & TEMPERATURES In order to achieve optimal application results, the technical requirements as stated in the relevant product data sheets should be followed. It is recommended that during the application and initial curing, the substrate temperature does not exceed 40 C, unless otherwise stated in the relevant PDS. However, maintaining the required conditions in practice might prove difficult, and the substrate temperature may occasionally exceed the recommended limits. In such cases special care must be taken to ensure proper substrate wetting and film formation, avoid excessive over spray, dry spray, sagging and other application related coating defects. Precautions such as additional thinning of the coating, providing suitable sun/heat protection and/or forced ventilation might be adequate. However, maintaining the recommended application conditions will facilitate optimal application results. For further details regarding substrate conditions and temperatures refer to: Information Sheet 1490 Cleaning of steel and removal of rust Information Sheet 1650 Relative Humidity / Substrate Temperature / Air Temperature

FULL CURE Full cure means, that the properties of a paint as described in the product data sheet are achieved (suitable for service). However, in case of dry bulk carriage an extra curing time may be required before the coating has reached its full mechanical strength and is suitable for carriage of hard angular cargoes FLASH POINT For paints the flash point is determined according to ISO 1523 (= ASTM D-3278, corresponding to Sigma method SM 311-41) or calculated. For thinners the flash point is determined according to DIN 51755 (corresponding to Sigma method SM 311-42) or calculated. Please always refer to the latest Material Safety Data Sheet for the paint and thinners. OVERCOATING TABLE The data given is a fair indication for normal conditions, longer drying times are necessary at lower temperatures and under unfavourable weather and/or ventilation conditions and higher dry film thicknesses. For epoxy coatings the minimum curing time for the recommended dft is given in the data sheets. For average dfts 50% higher, the minimum overcoating time should be multiplied by 1,5 and for average dfts 100% higher the multiplication factor is 2,5. Recoating data are based on atmospheric exposure, for other exposure conditions contact your nearest sales office. TOUCH DRY The touch dry time corresponds with the tack free time measured in accordance with ASTM D-1640 (corresponding with Sigma method SM 315-01). The touch dry time will be influenced by dft, ventilation conditions and substrate temperature. DRY TO HANDLE The dry to handle time corresponds with the dry-through time measured in accordance with ASTM D-1640 (corresponding with Sigma method SM 315-01) and indicates the time when walking over is possible. The dry-to-handle time will be influenced by dft, ventilation conditions and substrate temperature and should not be necessarily interpreted as ready for transportation due to the likelihood of excessive damage. DRY FILM THICKNESS (dft) / WET FILM THICKNESS (wft) The dry film thickness can be calculated from the applied wet film thickness: dft x 100 dft = wft x % volume solids wft = 100 % volume solids Recommended dft The dry film thickness for a paint system indicated in our system sheets is the recommended dft for the specific exposure conditions and based on airless spray application. Dft specifications referred to herein are valid for the coatings and coating systems in this manual unless mentioned otherwise in the respective product and system sheets.

Minimum dft for application The minimum dft of a paint system (also a one coat system) should follow the 90/10 rule (e.g. 90% of the recommended dft is acceptable for up to 10% of the readings only), whilst for individual coats the minimum dft should not be lower than 80% of the recommended dft, and must form a closed film. Maximum dft for application - General Application of a paint at thicknesses in excess of the dft recommended on the product data sheet may result in performance problems. Such problems include solvent retention and a reduction in cohesive strength in association with certain types of topcoat. In a coating system, the dft of a primer is of the utmost importance. In general, Sigma Coatings would restrict the dft of any primer to 1.5 times that specified on the product data sheet. For a coating system, including the individual coats (except the primer), the maximum dft is 2 times the recommended dft, whereas for the critical areas of a painted structure, 10% of the readings can be between 2 and 2.2 times the recommended dft. Critical areas are e.g. weld seams, edges, bolts, corners, nuts and areas of difficult access. For coating specifications requiring coating thicknesses which exceed the recommended dfts as mentioned in the product and system sheets, the maximum dft allowed should be established per project prior to startup. Over-application and its consequences is a complex subject and is dependent on the generic type of system, recommended dft and number of coats, as well as the intended exposure. Please refer to your local Sigma Coatings office if you should have any questions on this important issue. The life time of any protective coating system is also determined by the dry film thickness applied to critical areas. The dft of all of these critical areas should be closely monitored and controlled by the application of stripe coats with the same material as the consecutive coat of the system (or as recommended otherwise by Sigma Coatings). Please note that if a solvented coating has been applied over the specified dft then the minimum overcoating time must be increased to ensure that sufficient time is given for solvent evaporation. Care must also be taken to avoid over-application on critical areas during the progress of the job. Overapplication does not lead to enhanced performance life time of the coating system. Maximum dft for application - Linings For linings for severe exposure conditions or reinforced solvent free systems, the dft of the primer and the subsequent coatings can be more critical. Dft limitations are detailed in the respective system / product data sheets.

VOC Until further notice, the heavy duty Marine and PC coatings industries in Europe must comply with the VOC Directive 1999/13/EC (SED). VOC values (in g/kg) to assist with the annual calculation of the solvent limits related to the SED requirements, are mentioned on each Product Datasheet as well as on the label of all products. For decorative, functional and protective coatings used in buildings, the VOC Directive 2004/42/EC applies. This is based on compliant coatings. Label Example: 1999/13/EC : 320 g/kg 2004/42/IIa (i) 600 (2007) 360 Explanation Label Example: 1999/13/EC : 320 g/kg 2004/42/IIa (i) 600 (2007) 360 Max VOC according to Directive 1999/13/EC for material in the can. Reference to the sub-category according to Directive 2004/42/IIa Threshold limit for sub-category according to Directive 2004/42/IIa from 1.1.2007 till 1.1.2010 The max content of VOC in g/l of the product in a ready to use condition (including maximum amount of thinner according to Product Datasheet).

SOLIDS CONTENT BY VOLUME This value is given in the product data sheet. It can be determined by a laboratory test, Sigma Method 31410 corresponding to ISO method 3233 or calculated from the formulation. The calculated theoretical solids content by volume is in general lower than the determined solids content by volume. The latter approximates best to practice, assuming that the table for spreading rate losses is used correctly. Diluents with a high boiling point and low vapour pressure are widely used in solvent free coatings, they will remain in the cured film under normal ambient conditions and will therefore have negligible effect on the volume solids of these specific products. Furthermore, due to the relative high boiling point and rather low vapor pressure of these diluents, the ventilation requirements when using solvent free coatings in confined spaces to maintain the internal atmosphere at 10% of the Lower Explosion Limit, will be unchanged. TOLERANCES Values given for specific gravity, theoretical spreading rate and solids content are averages from standard production batches; these values can vary slightly, also for colours of one product.

VENTILATION Adequate ventilation during application and curing of the coating is not only required for health and safety reasons but also to ensure that the coating gives optimal performance. Stagnant air/high vapour concentrations in confined spaces must be avoided. Forced ventilation will help to avoid high vapour concentrations and possible solvent entrapment in the coating which may produce a temporary plasticising effect. Ventilation with cold, humid air in the drying stage should be avoided. Also avoid ventilation with heated air during the wet film forming stage as this approach may give skinning and increased solvent entrapment. For more information, see the following data sheets: 1430 Safety indications 1431 Safety in confined spaces and health safety, explosion hazard - toxic hazard 1434 Directives for ventilation practice THEORETICAL SPREADING RATE The theoretical spreading rate m/l for a given dry film thickness can be calculated from: m/l = % volume solids x 10 dry film thickness (in m) PRACTICAL SPREADING RATE The practical spreading rate depends on a number of factors: surface condition and profile, application method, normal, high build or solvent-free paint, skill of labour and weather conditions. It is often estimated at about 70 % of the theoretical spreading rate but under many conditions this is still far too high. For calculation purposes the following table has been composed in which spreading rate LOSSES are compiled. Substrates like wood and concrete are not included because they present too many other variable factors, especially in the preparation, the filling of pores, etc. RECOMMENDED THINNERS This product must only be thinned using the recommended Sigma thinners. The use of alternative thinners, particularly these containing alcohols, can severely inhibit the curing mechanism of certain coating types and will influence the performance. In case of the use of other thinners than advised, Sigma Coatings will not accept any responsibility.

MIXING RATIO - twin-feed products The mix ratios in volume for twin-feed applied products should be retrieved from specific data sheets. It is very important that right ratios are maintained but deviations up to max. 3% are acceptable unless otherwise stated on specific data sheets. These products are generally supplied ready for use after mixing of components as extra diluting is not allowed. INDUCTION TIME If mentioned on the product data sheet the coating should be thoroughly mixed and left for the recommended time for the particular temperature conditions at application. This induction time or precuring of the product ensures that the coating will give the required performance and application properties. POT LIFE This gives the time interval after mixing of the components of the coating during which the material can be applied, without change of application and performance properties of the coating. For solvent containing coatings an extra addition of thinner up to 5% is allowed. For solvent free coatings addition of thinner is not permitted. For solvent free and high solid coatings an exothermic reaction occurs, resulting in gelation shortly after reaching the end of the pot life. It is important to clean equipment with the recommended cleaning thinner before the pot life has expired and/or directly after completion of application of the paint.

Most paints contain flammable solvents and some contain materials which can harm the skin, or damage the health if swallowed or inhaled. Whilst most countries have developed regulations to control labelling, storage and use of toxic or hazardous material as yet there is no agreed international code or system. Sigma Coatings will adopt the local requirements in any country where their products are sold, but since it is quite impossible and even confusing to apply all the marks which could be required for every country, a Sigma Coatings system has been developed which is standard for our products throughout the world. We will then add local regulation markings in addition, if required. Two major classes of risk must be controlled and precautions defined which will reduce the risk to acceptable levels: A) Health risks, these include: 1. Gases or vapours. These could include solvent evaporation during the drying period, or perhaps formed during heating of the painted object. 2. Liquids in the paint. These might be solvents, or perhaps binders, which may be toxic if swallowed or inhaled as spray droplets, or dermatitic or toxic in contact with the skin. 3. Powders or dusts. These can be formed during heating painted objects (e.g. flame cutting or welding painted steel), or be present in powder formed during sanding operations, or in spray mist. B) Fire or explosion risks, these include: 1. Fire risk during storage or transport. Most paints other than water based products can be ignited and will support flame. 2. Explosion hazard during application. Flammable solvents in mixture with oxygen in air can explode within certain concentration limits if ignited or detonated. The following sentences are used to define the classes of hazard and this data sheet gives details of precautions which should be taken in each case.

Relatively harmless paint

Normal measures which are always applicable are: Wash hands regularly and thoroughly with warm water/soap. Immediately cover any wound or cut. Do not roll cigarettes, smoke, or eat with dirty hands. Beware of possible dust or fumes resulting from sand papering or burning. Check carefully that there is no possible fire or explosion risk. Check whether extra ventilation is required. Flash point of paints and solvents is stated in all our product data sheets. This is the lowest temperature at which a mixture of the material with air can ignite or explode. If the temperature of the air is near, or above, the flash point it is essential that sufficient ventilation air is provided to reduce the concentration of solvent well below the lower explosive limit (L.E.L.). Mixtures of solvent and air can only explode when the concentration lies between the lower and upper explosive limits. These limits vary from one solvent to another but the LEL is usually about 50 g per 1 m of air. This is described in detail in sheet 1431. In brief 200 m ventilation air is required per kilo of solvent to maintain an atmosphere below 10% of LEL. Such a mixture is safe even at temperatures above the flash point. Solvents and other components in some paints can irritate the skin, and although in normal paints this may only be a minor and temporary irritation, dermatitis of sensitive skins can be caused by solvents or chemicals in some paints. These are indicated by this glove sentence. Barrier creams together with gloves, goggles and possibly face masks should be used. In all cases, however, the habit of using solvents to clean the skin after painting should be discouraged. Contact of paint with the skin should be avoided by use of barrier creams and protective gloves. Any paint on the skin should be removed at once with skin cleaning liquids or jellies and then washed with water. Dust, smoke and spray mist can be filtered by face masks containing a dust filter cartridge. Cartridges are also available which absorb both dust and solvents. These are only effective whilst there is no apparent smell of solvent. The filter is exhausted when the odour of solvent can be detected and the filter should then be changed. It is most important that the correct filter for the class of work should be used. These are described by the manufacturers of the face mask and filter.

Highly flammable paint. Flash point up to and including 23C (DIN 53213).

This is the concentration which can be tolerated by a healthy worker for 8 hours a day without adverse effects. The lower the figure, the more toxic the substance. The concentrations are given either as parts per million (ppm), i.e. cm of vapour per m of air, or for solid dusts as mg per m. The minimum volume for air required to achieve this safe level of concentration will be given in our data sheets. This volume may in some cases be as much as 20 times that required to reach 10% of LEL and in some classes of work it may be impractical to supply the volume of air required to allow the required rate of usage of paint in the compartment. In such cases it is essential that operators are supplied with, and required to use, fresh air masks or respirators fed with clean air at positive pressure. It is important that the mask has a good facial fit. See also sheet 1431.

a five page issue

1431
June 2013 revision of 10-1999

When paints containing solvents are applied in enclosed or confined spaces, two hazards can exist, explosion and toxicity and precautions must be taken to eliminate them. General aspects of explosion hazards The nature of this hazard is explained in detail below. The essential precaution to be taken is that sufficient ventilation air must be provided to maintain the ratio of vapour/air at no more than 10% of the lower explosive limit. The method for calculation is given below and data on minimum ventilation air quantity is given in product data sheets. If the flash point of the solvent is above the working temperature, then an explosion cannot occur. However, it may still be necessary to ventilate to provide a clean working atmosphere or to eliminate toxic hazard. An explosion is simply very rapid burning of a flammable mixture (in the case of paint, it is the burning of solvent vapour in oxygen contained in the air). The speed of combustion is so great that there is extremely rapid development of heat and pressure (6 to 9 times the original pressure). This can lead to destruction of the compartment and injury to work people. Three factors must be present to create an explosion. a. The mixture of vapour and air must be between the lower explosive limit (LEL) and the upper explosive limit. b. The mixture must be at a temperature above the flash point temperature of the vapour. c. A source of ignition with high enough temperature and energy must be present to initiate the explosion reaction. These three factors explain the reasons for the safety precautions. Ventilation to provide an atmosphere below LEL It is usual to specify that ventilation should be provided to reduce vapour concentration to less than 10% of LEL. This large safety margin is required to allow for variations in ventilation in all parts of a compartment. (P x A) + (Q x B) The minimum ventilation air in m per minute may be calculated from the formula: t Calculation P Q A B t = = = = = volume of paint applied in the compartment in litres during time t minutes. volume of added solvent used in the paint applied in the compartment in litres in time t minutes. ventilation air quantity for 1 litre of paint to reach 10% LEL. ventilation air quantity for 1 litre of solvent to reach 10% LEL. time of application in minutes of volume P of paint.

Example 100 litres of paint (P) plus 5 litres of thinner (Q) are used within 45 minutes (t). Value A is e.g. 60 m (given in product data sheet). Value B is e.g. 130 m (given in product data sheet). Ventilation air quantity m per minute to reach 10% LEL is: (100 x 60) + (5 x 130) = 147.7 m per minute. 45 Remarks This quantity of ventilation air must be maintained throughout the application of the paint and also during the period of evaporation of solvent. The ventilation must be arranged so that all parts of the compartment are properly ventilated. It is necessary for the applicator or the contractor to check vapour concentrations (in varying positions) regularly with an explosion meter. If the concentration rises above 10% LEL, painting must stop until the vapour concentration is reduced to a safe level again. Flash point If possible paints with flash points above the ambient temperature should be used. This often is not possible, particularly in compartments heated up by strong sunlight in summer. In such cases it is even more essential that ventilation below 10% LEL is maintained. Sources of ignition Sparks, hot surfaces, flames and all other sources of ignition must be absolutely prevented. Flame proof lighting and electrical equipment must be used, spark proof tools and clothing should be used and all work must be prohibited in adjacent compartments. All equipment, whether electrical or not electrical (e.g. pneumatic pumps, spray tips, etc.) must be adequately earthed to ensure no accumulation of static electrical charge.

General aspects of toxic hazard Many solvents used in paint have some degree of toxicity and it is necessary to provide sufficient ventilation air to maintain safe atmosphere below the threshold limit value (TLV). With many common solvents this may be impractical when applying large volumes of paint in a short time. In such cases ventilation to give a clear visibility and safety from explosion will still be necessary. It will also be necessary to provide operators in the compartment with fresh air masks or hoods. Barrier creams and protective clothing may also be necessary. Full details are given below and data for calculation of RAQ (required air quantity) are also provided. It is necessary to keep certain rules when using any paint since all can be harmful (even ordinary emulsion paints are dangerous if swallowed!). The following are basic safety precautions: Inhalation of dust and fumes This must be avoided by the use of ventilation or extraction. products should be used in well ventilated areas forced ventilation or fresh air masks should be used in confined spaces a face mask should be worn when spraying, sanding or blast cleaning Skin contact Some substances used in paint may cause irritation after repeated or prolonged contact with the skin and in susceptible cases there is a risk of dermatitis. operatives with a history of skin sensitivity should not be employed in processes where skin contact can occur prolonged or repeated contact of paint with the skin should be avoided barrier cream should be supplied and used gloves should be worn do not wash hands with solvent use a proprietary hand cleanser Ingestion The ingestion (swallowing) of paint must always be avoided. food should not be brought into or consumed in the work area where coatings are stored or used thorough washing of hands and face is essential after applying paint, particularly before eating or smoking if paint or thinners should accidently be swallowed, seek medical attention immediately

Eye protection Steps should be taken to prevent material entering the eyes. goggles should be worn whenever necessary if the eyes become contaminated they should be irrigated with water; seek medical attention immediately Theoretical ventilation requirements In the product data sheets, data are given for the minimum required ventilation air quantity (RAQ) in cubic metres when 1 litre of paint is applied or when 1 litre of thinner is used. The TLV (=threshold limit value) for the mixture of components and solvents in the paint or for the mixture of solvents used in thinners has been calculated. Calculation The quantity of ventilation air required in m per minute during application and drying can be calculated from the formula: (P x M) + (Q x N) t P Q M N t = = = = = quantity of paint consumed in litres. quantity of thinner consumed in litres. min. ventilation air quantity needed to reach TLV of 1 litre of paint. min. ventilation air quantity needed to reach TLV of 1 litre of thinner. application time in minutes.

Example 100 litres of paint (P) are consumed in 45 minutes (t). 5 Litres of thinner (Q) were added to thin down the paint to the prescribed application viscosity. Value M is e.g. 780 m (see product data sheet). Value N is e.g. 2170 m (see product data sheet). The ventilation air quantity required during application and drying to reach TLV is: (100 x 780) + (5 x 2170) = 1974 m per minute 45 Remarks In semi-confined areas such as rooms with open doors and windows or the super structure of a ship, natural ventilation will be about 2 to 5 times the content of the room or space per hour, depending on weather conditions. The amount of fresh air necessary to reach TLV will be approximately 10 to 20 times the amount of fresh air necessary to reach 10% of LEL. When it is impractical to ventilate in such a way that TLV is not reached then fresh air masks must be used.

Ventilation is required for reasons of health and safety. In addition for solvent containing coatings the quality of a coating system is greatly affected by the amount and type of residual solvent in the layer when the coating dries or cures. Adhesion, water resistance, mechanical and chemical properties can all be adversely affected when solvents remain trapped in the paint film. Very slow evaporation of trapped solvents can also develop internal stresses due to shrinkage. The ventilation must be maintained throughout the application process at a minimum level of 10% of LEL value and for a period after application is completed when the paint cures or dries. As a guide line for good ventilation after application the confined space should be ventilated 4 to 5 times its contents per hour. Product data sheets indicate when any special ventilation requirements are required. Hot ventilation: Ventilating air with too high temperature can cause surface curing of epoxy coatings and although it may be necessary to produce a dry substrate before painting, the steel and air temperature should be such that when the application starts, the temperature of the ventilation (dehumidifier/heater) should be dropped so that the conditions stay stable. Hot ventilation air should be replaced by cool dry ventilation air as soon as possible after application of any coat is completed. Good ventilation consists of at least extraction at the lowest areas, but in most cases when controlled conditions are needed, also of air input (dry and/or heated). The combination of in and output must be correctly balanced. The opening of the extraction hose should be close to the bottom of the tank (approx 30-60 cm). Ventilation air should be directed to the bottom of the tank or compartment and should be extracted by exhaust fans of correctly balanced capacity. For complex structures the ventilation should be distributed over all compartments and confined spaces in order to facilitate good ventilation in all areas. BALLAST TANKS AND OTHER CONFINED SPACES. Due to regulations of the shipbuilding industry ballast tanks and double skin tanks count for many square meters confined spaces. Therefore it is necessary to pay good attention to the ventilation conditions during application, drying and curing of the coating on these areas. Depending on the structure of the ballast tanks, forced ventilation or natural ventilation is used during coating of the new building blocks. However, natural ventilation in many cases is not sufficient due to half open box conditions and can cause serious drawbacks related to health and safety as well as curing and performance of the coating. When ventilation is not sufficient solvents will not be removed, but will drift to the lower part of the section. As normally first the upperparts of a section will be painted, the solvents evaporating from the applied coating will drift to the lower part where it will attack the earlier applied coating (not yet fully cured) and this coating will absorb part of the solvents and swell. This coating will then be overcoated and problems related to bad adhesion, curing, water resistance etc. will result. In case of waterborne paints, this advice is not valid. Water vapour rises to the upper areas of the tank and may give condensation. Therefore it is recommended to position an extra exhaust outlet at the top of the tank.

a ten page issue DERUSTING METHODS

1490
May 2013 revision of June 2007

The effective life time of a coating applied onto a steel surface is dependent to a very large extent on how thoroughly the surface has been prepared prior to painting. Surface preparation consists of primary surface preparation which aims to remove mill scale, rust and foreign matter from a steel surface prior to the application of a shop primer (prefabrication primer) or primer. Secondary surface preparation aims to remove rust and foreign matter, if any, from a steel surface coated with a shop primer (prefabrication primer) or primer prior to application of the anticorrosive paint system. A steel surface can be derusted in the following ways.

Wire brushing

Wire brushing, usually done with rotating wire brushes, is a conventional method, not suitable for the removal of mill scale, but suitable for the preparation of weld seams. The main disadvantage is, that treated surfaces are often not completely free of corrosion products and tend to become polished and contaminated with oil. This decreases the adhesion of priming paints and the performance of a paint system. Chipping or mechanical chipping is usually done in combination with wirebrushing. It is sometimes suitable for local repairs with conventional or special formulated paint systems. It is not suitable for general preparation of surfaces to be coated with epoxy or chlorinated rubber paints. It can be used for the removal of thick rust scale and economizes in later blasting operations. To remove rust, paint etc. from corners and angles in order to achieve a cleaned surface with a profile. Flame cleaning involves de-rusting by thermal treatment making use of burning equipment (acetylene or propane and oxygen). It removes almost all mill scale, but rust to a lesser extent. Therefore this method cannot meet the requirements of modern paint systems. Disc sanding involves use of rotating discs covered with abrasive material. It is used for local repairs. The quality of these discs has been very much improved, and these can give good standards of preparation.

Sweep blasting

A hand operated form of superficial blast cleaning in which a primed or coated steel surface is roughened and is free of almost all visible contamination. (except oil contamination or traces of rust) A: light sweep, purpose: roughening of intact coating and improving the adhesion of subsequent coats Abrasive: fine (0,2-0,5 mm) is most suitable when the paint surface under treatment is not to be destroyed B: heavy sweep (approx ISO-Sa1), purpose: removing of not sound coating areas - layers Abrasive: small to medium (0,2-0,5/0,2-1,5 mm) Reference: Repainting of old metallic structures, limited blast cleaning scale Technical Guide, November 1993 Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chausses 58,bd Lefebvre, F 75732 Paris Cedex 15

Dry blast cleaning

The impingement of a high kinetic energy stream of abrasive onto the surface to be prepared. It is either hand operated by jet or automatically by impeller and is the most thorough method of derusting. Centrifugal blast cleaning, compressed air blast cleaning and vacuum blast cleaning are well known types. The particles are as far as practical spherical and solid and should not contain more than the minimum practical amount of tails and irregular shapes. Primers to be used for shot blasted steel should be checked on performance. The particles show good angularity form with sharp cutting edges and should be substantially free from half-rounds (i.e. shot split in half). Unless otherwise stated in the specifications a mineral grit should be used.

Water (abrasive) cleaning/jetting (Terminology NACE) Water (abrasive) blast cleaning

Different types of water (abrasive) cleaning/jetting are in use Below you will find the most commonly used ones For more info see also information sheet 1498 (Hydrojetting) Some examples of these techniques are given below, not pretending to be complete. New developments with wet blasting methods are presented regularly, improving the efficiency and reducing the amount of water or grit. LOW PRESSURE WATER ABRASIVE BLAST CLEANING Pressure = 6-8 bar Water consumption = 90-300 l/hour Cleaning speed = 10-16 m/hour, depending on material to be removed Result: a surface cleanliness and blasting profile as required can be obtained. LOW PRESSURE HUMIDIFIED ABRASIVE BLAST CLEANING Pressure = 6-8 bar Water consumption = 5-60 l/hour Cleaning speed = 10-16 m/hour, depending on material to be removed Result: a surface cleanliness and blasting profile as required can be obtained. ULTRA HIGH PRESSURE WATER JETTING (UHPWJ) Pressure - more than 1700 bar Use: Complete removal of all coatings and rust. The result can be compared with dry abrasive blast cleaning, but with flash rust after drying. The original blasting profile will be maintained. HIGH PRESSURE WATER JETTING (HPWJ) Pressure - from 700 to 1700 bar Use: Most paints and corrosion products will be removed, Magnetite and hard tightly adherent coating may be left but can be removed with difficulty. The original blasting profile will be maintained.

Water cleaning

LOW PRESSURE WATER CLEANING (LPWC) Pressure - lower than 350 bar Use: Removal of salt, dirt and poorly adherent surface contamination. Mainly washing of surface HIGH PRESSURE WATER CLEANING (HPWC) Pressure - from 350 to 700 bar Use: Loose paint, rust, debris and material in pits will be removed, but black iron oxide (Magnetite) will remain. A uniform matte finish cannot be achieved. STEAM CLEANING Pressure = 100-120 bar Use: Removal of water soluble or water emulsified contamination; the substrate dries quicker compared to a water rinsed substrate.

ISO STANDARDS

When specifying a precise degree of de-rusting and cleaning of a steel surface prior to painting, PPG PMC uses the ISO standard ISO 8501-1-1988 and ISO 8504-1992. This indicates the following rust grades: A = steel surface largely covered with adherent mill scale but little, if any, rust. B = steel surface which has begun to rust and from which the mill scale has begun to flake. C = steel surface on which the mill scale has rusted away or from which it can be scraped, but with slight pitting visible when viewed normally. D = steel surface on which the mill scale has rusted away and on which general pitting is visible when viewed normally.

DEGREES OF PRIMARY SURFACE PREPARATION ISO-St Hand and power tool cleaning

The ISO standard indicates six preparation degrees. The following standards are often used in specifications: Surface preparation by hand and power tool cleaning, such as scraping, wire-brushing, machine-brushing and grinding, is designated by the letters St. Prior to hand and power tool cleaning, any heavy layers of rust shall be removed by chipping. Visible oil, grease and dirt shall also be removed. After hand and power tool cleaning, the surface shall be cleaned from loose dust and debris. When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt, and from poorly adhering mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter. As for St2, but the surface shall be treated much more thoroughly to give a metallic sheen arising from the metallic substrate Surface preparation by blast cleaning is designated by the letters Sa Prior to blast cleaning, any heavy layers of rust shall be removed by chipping. Visible oil, grease and dirt shall also be removed. After blast cleaning, the surface shall be cleaned from loose dust and debris. When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt, and from poorly adhering mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter. When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt and from most of the mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter. Any residual contamination shall be firmly adhering. When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt and from mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter. Any remaining traces of contamination shall show only as slight stains in the form of spots or stripes.

Rz = average peak to valley height = blasting profile Rt = maximum peak to valley height Ra = average distance to an imaginary centre line which can be drawn between peaks and valleys = C.L.A. = Centre Line Average (ISO 3274) Normally PPG PMC uses Rz values. Blasting Profile (Rz) = 4 to 6 times C.L.A. (Ra). The direct measuring of the dft of primers applied onto blast cleaned steel in a thickness up to 30 m is very inaccurate. A primer dft of 30 m and more gives an average thickness and not the thickness present on the peaks.

Degree of cleanliness

The ISO and the Japanese Standards give a visual impression of the quality of the derusted steel. However, chemical contamination like water soluble salts etc. are not visible and remains partly on the surface. Presence of excessive amounts of water soluble salts can cause blistering of the coating by osmosis. Water soluble salts in mineral abrasives. For tankcoatings the maximum value of water soluble salts in mineral abrasives is 250 S/cm (conductivity) (ISO 11127-6 1993). See further sheet 1491 Water soluble salts on the steel surface (ISO 8502-9 1998). Our maximum acceptable levels of water soluble salts, calculated as mixed salts, on treated substrate prior to coating application depends on the area and expected service conditions. mixed salts Cargo tanks Immersed areas Dry cargo holds 50 mg/m 80 mg/m 100 mg/m conductivity (V=15 ml) (10.0 S/cm) (16.0 S/cm) (20.0 S/cm)

June 2013 revision of June 2007

This specification covers mineral abrasives such as corundum, aluminium silicate slag, or any slag mixtures which are suitable for removing rust, scale, old paint or shop primer from steel by blast cleaning and giving a satisfactory anchor pattern. This specification covers only those abrasives commonly known as utility grades. REQUIREMENTS Material The abrasive may be any material meeting the requirements of this specification. It shall be composed of clean, sound, hard particles free from foreign substances such as dirt, oil, grease, toxic substances, organic matter and water soluble salts. The abrasive supplier shall certify that any product to be delivered conforms to all requirements stated herein. pH 100 gram of a representative abrasive sample is crushed using a mortar and pestle. Approximately 50 grams of the crushed sample is added to 200 ml de-ionized water. The pH of this slurry is then determined through the use of an electronic pH meter with an accuracy of 0.01 pH unit. A slurry mixture prepared in this way shall not have a pH below 6.20. Water Soluble Salts (ISO 11127-6 1993) The abrasive is mixed with de-ionized water, conductivity max. 1 S/cm, in the proportion 1:1, e.g. 100 g abrasive to 100 cm water. The mixture is shaken for 5 minutes, allowed to settle for at least 1 hour and then shaken again for 5 minutes. Some of the water is decanted, the temperature is recorded and the conductivity measured by a conductivity gauge. If the conductivity gauge does not have any temperature compensation adjustment, the conductivity should be converted to 20C or measurement should be carried out at this temperature. If the conductivity exceeds 250 S/cm the abrasive is rejected. If the abrasive is to be used for High Pressure Wet Abrasive Blastcleaning the total amount of water soluble matter should be below 0,5% by weight. Moisture Content Approximately 200 grams of abrasive shall be weighed to the nearest 0.1 g in a tared weighing dish and dried at 105 to 110C for 3 hours or more until successive weighings after additional 1 hour heating periods show a weight change of not more than 0.1%. The percentage of moisture is calculated as follows: percent moisture = original weight - final weight x 100 original weight of sample The moisture content for material deliverd in bags or in bulk shall not exceed 0.5% by weight. Oil and Grease The abrasive shall not be contaminated with oil and grease. 10 cm abrasive is shaken with 10 cm methylene chloride for about 5 minutes. 5 drops of the solvent are applied to a clean glass plate. After complete evaporation of the solvent the glass plate is exposed to ultraviolet light in total darkness. If there is blue fluorescence the abrasive is rejected.

Separately place the grains thus differentiated between two glass microscope slides. While applying pressure, slowly move one slide over the other with a reciprocating motion for 10 seconds. Examine the glass surface and, if scratched, the material shall be considered as having a minimum hardness of 6 on Mohs scale. If any grains that fail to scratch glass are present, in any appreciable quantity, the total batch is rejected. Grain Shape The individual abrasive grains shall be angular in shape. Surface Profile The abrasive material shall produce a prescribed blasting profile Rz value (varying between 30-100 m)

SURFACE PREPARATION Surface preparation of steel pipes must be carried out according to the Dutch standard NEN 6901 or the Swedish standard SIS 055900. The metal surface must be freed from mill scale, corrosion and all contaminations such as oil, grease, dirt, soluble salts, markings and old coatings. Weldspatters and laminations must also be removed. The coating must be applied as soon as possible after completion of the surface preparation. CHEMICAL PRETREATMENT The substrate must be precleaned to remove dirt, grease and oil. Pickling must be carried out on an industrial scale by one of the following methods. The first table describes a pickling process followed by a double water rinse. The second table describes a phosphating process consisting of pickling and rinsing followed by phosphating. The requirements for the pickling and the phosphating process are drawn up to avoid excess thickness of phosphate layers and to ensure that no acids remain on the substrate. All pickling - rinsing or phosphating liquids must be renewed when the concentrations specified are reached (see tables). The content of the bath must also be renewed when the pretreated metal leaves the bath with contamination or if sediment interferes the action of the pickling process.

Ventilation of sufficient capacity has to be used in order to maintain a workable and safe climate during blast cleaning. The pipes should rotate during the blasting operation at a sufficient speed to obtain a regular blasted surface. Only suitable abrasives according to specification should be used (see sheet 1491). Attention should be given to the weld seams which have to be blast cleaned in a way that the whole weld seam is pretreated. Abrasives and dust should be removed completely from the blasted surface. ROTATING WIRE BRUSH CLEANING Pipes to be used for the transport of Natural Gas, showing only minor rust and in good condition, may be pretreated by rotating wire brushes before they are coated with a flowcoat. Before wire brush cleaning the surface should be thoroughly degreased by means of suitable detergents or emulsifiers. Irregularities in the pipe surface should be removed by grinding or rotating discs. The surface should be dry before blasting. Cleaning must be carried out until to standard of cleanliness of SIS-St3 of the Swedish norm SIS055900 (see sheet 1490).

INTERNAL CHEMICAL CLEANING OF STEEL PIPES In-situ application

1493
May 1998 reprint of 8-1988

GENERAL ASPECTS The "in situ" cleaning process for new and old, often corroded, pipe lines should be started with a thorough inspection of the pipe line. The internal diameter of the pipe line has to be checked and samples of rust and debris have to be collected to confirm that the cleaning operation will give the desired results. Because the total cleaning procedure will consist of a number of pig runs, a lot of information can be collected about the vertical head and elevation profile of the pipe line which knowledge is of great importance for the final coating operation. Besides that it is critical, it is very important that all pig trains containing water, chemical liquids and drying liquids are being launched solid, travel solid and are being received solid in order to clean the pipe line with success. Any condition that might impose a significant under pressure in any liquid train can cause air intrusion resulting in inadequate surface preparation and transfer of liquids to a position behind the train. The improvement in cleanliness should be continuously monitored by analysing the cleaning and pretreatment liquids, followed by, if available, inspection through a camera pig. New in situ blast cleaning methods have been developed (sand jetting system) which may be very useful also to recoat previously coated pipe lines. Removal of Dirt Dirt, sand, loose rust, loose mill scale, bolts, parts of welding rods, corrosion debris, loose scale and remainders of products previously transported to be removed by mechanical cleaning with wire brush pigs and scraper pigs followed by line washing with fresh water and solvents. Degreasing Degreasing is extremely important as the presence of oil or grease will interfere with the subsequent acid cleaning. Detergent/water flushing requires a number of passes until analysis of the degreasing agents proves that all oil and grease is removed. Chemical cleaning All mill scale and rust has to be removed completely also from corrosion pits by several passes of prescribed strength inhibited acid solutions until the internal surface is near to white metal. The spend chemicals used for cleaning have to be monitored by analysis, the degree of surface preparation has to be checked by usual inspection. Passivating After the chemical cleaning all soluble salts have to be removed (often chlorides). To prevent flash rust formation a run with a prescribed concentration of inhibiting or passivating solution is to be carried out followed by rinsing the pipe line with fresh water until the water reach neutrality. Drying All moisture in the pipe line has to be removed in order that a dry steel surface is available for coating by sending selected drying solvents through the pipe line followed by pigging with foam pigs together with dry air or nitrogen ventilation. In this way a clean and dry surface is achieved, together with a dehumidified atmosphere within the pipe line giving optimal conditions to coat the pipe line in situ.

New concrete: In the case of newly made concrete it is important that the concrete has been laid for a minimum of 28 days before applying a coating or polymer flooring. The moisture content of the concrete should be below 4 % by weight. The release of the surplus water is dependant on the thickness of the concrete, the season, the temperature and relative humidity of the environment and the prevailing ventilation conditions. So the moisture content of the concrete should always be measured. The moisture content at the concrete surface can be measured by an electronic instrument called Protimeter (Protimeter plc, U.K. telex 849305). An indication in the red area means that the concrete is still too wet. An indication in the green area means that the concrete can be coated. An indication in the yellow area means be careful. A concrete area of approx. 4 m should be covered by a plastic sheet for 24 hours after which the measurement has to be repeated. If the indication becomes red then the subfloor is still too wet to apply a flooring. A major problem with new concrete floors is the top surface layer known as laitance. This water rich top layer is formed during the binding period and is mechanically weak. In addition to the poor mechanical properties, the laitance has a chemical composition different from the rest of the concrete. Concrete floors with this laitance are obviously poor substrates to apply coatings to. It should therefore be a pre-condition that the laitance has been removed prior to the application of any floor coating or polymer flooring. Old concrete: The removal of all oils, greases etc., together with the removal of the remains of any previously applied coating is required to ensure a sound base for the application of a coating, polymer flooring or screed. SURFACE PREPARATION In order to ensure good adhesion and the long term performance of any floor coating or polymer flooring it is essential that the correct type of surface preparation is carried out. The removal of chemicals, oil, grease and fat must be completed before any other preparation work commences such as e.g. blasting or acid etching (ASTM D4259 or ASTM D4260). Mechanical tool cleaning must always be followed by removal of dust by means of vacuum cleaners. Removal of chemicals from floor surfaces: Concrete that has become contaminated by chemicals must be neutralised before coating. If the contamination is acidic, it must be neutralised with an alkaline cleaner and rinsed thoroughly with fresh water. If the contamination is alkaline it can be cleaned with detergents and/or steam. Oil and grease contamination can be removed by a combination of solvents, steam and/or detergents depending on the severity of the contamination.

Abrasive blast cleaning: Abrasive blast cleaning should always be the best choice for the pretreatment of concrete if polymer flooring systems have to be applied. Blast cleaning is normally carried out using an enclosed system such as a Vacu-Blast, or Auto-Blast type machine. These systems are virtually dust free and work on the principal of propelling small particles of abrasive i.e. steel shot, against the floor surface whilst at the same time vacuum recovering the dust and abrasive to a recovery hopper. In addition to cleaning the floor and removing any laitance, blasting will leave the floor surface with a profile which will enable the coating to gain a physical as well as chemical adhesion to the substrate. Blast cleaning is the recommended system for large floor areas. Scarifying: Scarifying (sometimes known as scabbling) involves the use of rotating wheels and brushes to scour the concrete surface. The scarifying equipment is pushed over the floor and the enclosed rotating wheels abrade the surface. It is not as efficient or as dust free as a Vacu-Blast machine and can in the wrong hands, cause excessive damage to the substrate. It is most effective on small areas or areas where abrasive blast cleaning cannot be carried out. Power grinding: Similar to scarifying this method can be used to open up holes and voids and to remove loose materials from the surface of poured concrete and pre-cast slabs. Power grinding is slower than blasting but could be considered for small external floor areas. One should take care that the concrete surface is not polished by the power grinding. Wire brushing: Wire brushing can be used to remove loose material from the surface and open up holes and voids in poured concrete. This can be either by power or hand wire brushing, power wire brushing giving increased productivity and effectiveness. Impact tools: Concrete surfaces can be roughened using impact tools such as needle guns etc. However this method can be slow and should only be used for small repairs. Granulating or Hammering machines work quicker but should only be used if very hard concrete must be roughened or if flooring screeds have to be applied. Impact tools are normally electrically or compressed air driven and work on a principal of a sharpened tool vibrating against the surface. It is fairly easy for an inexperienced operative to gouge the concrete surface and therefore great care should be taken when using this method of preparation. Acid etching: This method of surface preparation is most suited for use on new concrete floors (not for sand/cement screeds). It is carried out to remove laitance but will not remove old paint or oil and grease and should only be used in areas where sufficient drainage exists to allow the removal of the water and acid solutions. To carry out acid etching the following procedure should be followed: Before commencing acid etching the concrete surface should be cleaned of all loose concrete. Deposits of oil and grease should be removed by steam cleaning or by using an alkaline cleaner or detergents. Thoroughly wet the floor with water Sprinkle an 8% to 10% solution of phosphoric acid in water uniformly over the floor. The approximate spreading rate is 1,5 m to 1 litre of solution.

The acid solution should remain on the surface for 2 to 4 minutes and then be rinsed thoroughly with clean water. The rinsing can be done with a water hose and a sweeping broom. It is important that the rinsing is done immediately to prevent the formation of salts on the surface, which are difficult to remove. The concrete surface should be checked for acidity using pH paper and should have a pH of 7 or higher. Depending on the type of concrete, more than one operation may be required to achieve a satisfactory surface profile. A thorough rinsing with clean water should be carried out after each acid etch application. The surface profile after acid etching should be similar to fine sandpaper. The concrete should be allowed to dry prior to applying the coating. Personnel involved in acid etching operations should be provided with safety goggles, protective clothing, rubber gloves and rubber boots. Rubber buckets should be used for mixing the solution. THE ACID SHOULD ALWAYS BE ADDED TO THE WATER rather than the water added to the acid. Flame cleaning: Where conditions permit, deeply impregnated oils and greases can be removed from concrete floors by flame or superheated compressed air. This method involves the use of heat to bring the oil, grease etc. to the surface and should be carried out under strict supervision with the necessary precautions being taken in view of the possible hazards involved. After flame cleaning the surface should always be power tool cleaned.

June 2013 revision of 10-1999

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN (VENTILATION) AIR-TEMPERATURE, SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY To achieve optimum results in coating work it is essential to ensure that no condensation occurs on the substrate or in-between coats during the painting process. Air at a given temperature can only contain a certain (maximum) amount of water vapour. This amount is lower at lower temperatures. The maximum water content of air at different temperatures is given in the next table: Degrees Centigrade 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 Maximum water content g/m 4,8 6,8 9,5 12,8 17,3 23,0 30,4 39,6 51,1 65,0

From these figures the relationship between dew point, air temperature and relative humidity can be calculated. This relationship is given in the next table: Relation between dew point, air temperature and relative humidity Air Temperature C 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Dew point in C at a relative humidity of: 50% 4.1 3.2 2.4 1.6 0.8 0.1 1.0 1.9 2.8 3.7 4.7 55% 2.9 2.1 1.3 0.4 0.4 1.3 2.3 3.2 4.2 5.1 6.1 60% 1.8 1.0 0.2 0.8 1.7 2.6 3.5 4.5 5.4 6.4 7.3 65% 0.9 0.1 0.8 1.8 2.7 3.7 4.6 5.6 6.6 7.5 8.5 70% 0.0 0.9 1.8 2.8 3.8 4.7 5.6 6.6 7.6 8.6 9.5 75% 0.9 1.8 2.8 3.8 4.7 5.7 6.7 7.7 8.6 9.6 10.6 80% 1.8 2.8 3.7 4.7 5.7 6.7 7.6 8.6 9.6 10.6 11.5 85% 2.7 3.7 4.6 5.6 6.6 7.6 8.6 9.6 10.6 11.5 12.5 90% 3.6 4.5 5.5 6.5 7.5 8.4 9.4 10.4 11.4 12.4 13.4

Using these figures curves can be drawn which give the relationship between air temperature, relative humidity and dew point. (See graph). To allow a sensible safety margin normally the substrate temperature must be at least 3 degrees centigrade above the dew point. The dew point is the temperature of a given air-water vapour mixture at which condensation starts, since at that temperature the maximum water content of the air is reached. Many important conclusions can be drawn from the graph, e.g.: at a relative humidity of 85% the lowest acceptable substrate temperature is approximately equal to the temperature of the (ventilation) air. For this reason outdoor paintwork must normally be carried out at a relative humidity below 85%. at a relative humidity of 90% the difference in temperature between substrate and dew point will be only 2C, which means that the safety margin is narrowed. This can be overcome by raising the substrate temperature by approx. 1C. at a relative humidity of 70% the relationship between the acceptable substrate temperature and the temperature of the (ventilation) air is given by the following table: air temperature C dew point C lowest acceptable substrate temperature C 5 0,0 3,0 10 4,7 7,7 20 14,4 17,4 30 23,9 26,9

Although the substrate temperatures given in this table are well below the temperature of the surrounding air no condensation will occur under the stated prevailing conditions. if the lowest acceptable substrate temperature is for example 5C and the temperature of the atmosphere is also 5C than the ventilation air can be heated and relative humidity will then be reduced according to the following table: air temperature C relative humidity % 5 85 10 60 20 32 30 18 40 11

In general reduction in temperature leads to risk of condensation. For instance steel cooled down during the night will often show condensation and this will not evaporate until the steel is heated up again by sunlight or other means.

1.0 Introduction

Sigmashield 4800/4801 coatings and linings are high performance, glass flake reinforced ester and polyester products developed and supplied under PPG Industries strict standards of quality control and in compliance with its ISO 9001:2000 registration. The permeability of resin-based linings can be significantly reduced by the use of high performance flake fillers, and due to their size and purity glass flakes exhibit outstanding performance in this respect. As they are only 3-4 microns thick there can be as many as 150 layers of overlapping glass flakes in a 1 mm thick coating. The distribution and nature of the glass flake throughout the coating has a reinforcing effect, increasing resistance to impact and abrasion, enhancing resistance to undercutting. Shrinkage stress in the resin is reduced and the coefficient of expansion becomes closer to that of steel, which with its excellent adhesion makes Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 ideally suited to the lining of steel vessels where thermal shock is encountered. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 cures by a chemical reaction, which is initiated by use of a catalyst. The product is supplied as a base component (a blend of resin and reinforcing glass flake) and a separate catalyst, which is added to the base just prior to application. The reaction between the base and the catalyst is exothermic and produces an increase in temperature, which can significantly reduce the effective working pot life. It is therefore essential to follow the recommended procedure as closely as possible to avoid undue wastage of material and damage to equipment. All information given in this literature is based on a catalyst level of 0.5% of total weight, which will provide the optimal protection for the majority of applications. It is possible to adjust the ratio of catalyst between 0.5% and 1%, however, an increase in catalyst will significantly reduce pot life and variation of catalyst level is at the users own discretion. In certain cases, where the ultimate in chemical resistance is required, it may be necessary to post cure the coating by means of additional heating. In such cases the specification for the job in question will identify the need. Further information relating to individual products is given in the relevant data sheet and the detailed project specification.

2.0 Safe Use and Disposal of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801

This information is given as a basic guide only and no liability can be accepted for any errors or omissions, or for any action or inaction on the part of the user. Users must ensure that they have undertaken a proper risk assessment of any process involving the use of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 have made themselves fully aware of the necessary safe handling precautions. Reference should be made to the relevant Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 Product Safety Data Sheet, Container Label and Product Technical Data Sheet. In the UK the Health and Safety Executive have issued a guidance note entitled: Guidance Note CS21 'The Storage and Handling of Organic Peroxides'. Where UK HSE guidance is relevant, customers are advised to obtain a copy of this document for reference.

2.1 Hazards Associated with Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 catalyst

The catalyst used to cure Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 is supplied in small polythene bottles, separate to the pigmented 'base' component. The catalyst is a highly reactive, combustible and thermally unstable substance that can undergo self accelerating decomposition. It is also powerful oxidising agent and will react violently with other organic chemicals. Selfaccelerating decomposition occurs when a reaction generates heat (an exotherm), which speeds up the reaction generating still more heat and so on. This can lead to the release of hot flammable gases, which may ignite spontaneously. Explosion can occur where these gases are contained and unable to escape. Initiation of the runaway reaction can be by heating or by contamination (at concentrations as low as parts per million) with various substances. Where organic peroxides are spilled onto combustible materials such as paper or wood a fire may result. The recommended storage temperature of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 catalyst is between +5 C and +25 C and should be strictly observed. Specific legislation governs the storage of organic peroxides and HSE Guidance Note CS21 gives details of these as well as guidance on the construction and operation of dedicated storage facilities. The principal storage recommendations are: Keep in original containers Hold within the predetermined temperature limits Keep in dedicated stores Prevent contact/contamination with other materials Minimise the quantity at the workplace - only have present enough for the job in hand Always wear as a minimum, face shield and gloves designed for use with chemical liquids.

2.2 Disposal
Reference should be made to the MSDS and to Guidance Note CS21 (where applicable) but in general Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 catalyst must not be mixed with other products and must be kept separate from the base until it is required for mixing and application.

2.2.1 Disposal of Waste from Mixing and Application Operations

There are four scenarios to consider for disposal: 2.2.1.1 Unmixed base. Dispose of as 'special waste. Poses no greater risk than other paint types. 2.2.1.2 Mixed paint. If units are mixed only as required then the quantity is likely to be less than 20 litres. Part filled units (less than 20 litres) are placed in a 'bath of cold water such that the water Ievel comes almost to the top of the pail but does not cover it. This will dissipate the heat generated allowing the reaction to proceed in a controlled manner. Once the mixed material has fully reacted and cooled (usually overnight would be sufficient) it may be disposed of as special waste'. 2.2.1.3 Full or part bottles of peroxide catalyst. A waste container of clean water should be available in which to pour the contents of a full or part full bottle of peroxide catalyst. Care should be taken to ensure that the volume of peroxide added does not exceed the volume of clean water initially in the container. The peroxide will be de-activated by the water and thus 'made safe'. The wastewater should then be disposed of as 'special waste - water containing di-isobutyl phthalate'. 2.2.1.4 Empty used bottles of peroxide containing dregs'. As above these should be washed out using clear water, the washings being contained in a special waste' container and disposed of as in c. above.

2.2.2 Disposal of Spillage

Prior to first use of the product a full risk analysis must be conducted and the most appropriate method defined. The requisite equipment can then be made available and staff trained to deal quickly and safely with any spillage that occurs.

2.2.2.1 Spillage of the base component

This is best contained and collected with a non-combustible material e.g. Vermiculite and placed in a suitable container. It may safely be disposed of as 'special waste'.

2.2.2.2 Spillage of the base component

This is best contained and collected with a non-combustible material e.g. Vermiculite and placed in a suitable container. DO NOT then confine the collected waste in a container with a tight fitting lid. Immerse the waste container in a bath of cold water as detailed in 2.2.1.2 above. Once cool dispose of as 'special waste'.

2.2.2.3 A spillage of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 catalyst

This needs to be dealt with quickly and the most appropriate method will depend on the quantity spilled, the floor type and other hazards such as electrical equipment. In all cases water may be used to de-activate the peroxide and it is strongly recommended that sufficient clean water is available at the workplace to deal with any spill that may occur. On a non-absorbent floor where pooling of the spillage may occur it may be more appropriate to contain and collect the spill using a non-combustible material e.g. Vermiculite and place this in a suitable container. DO NOT then confine the collected waste in the container with a tight fitting lid. Thoroughly soak the contained waste with water to deactivate the peroxide, leave overnight in a safe place and dispose of as 'special waste - containing di-isobutyl phthalate'. On floors that are absorbent the peroxide may quickly soak into the surface making the use of Vermiculite impracticable. Use copious amounts of water to de-activate the peroxide as quickly as possible but be aware of any hazards such as electrical equipment. Do no allow the waste to enter the drains. Collect the waste and dispose of as 'special waste - containing di-isobutyl phthalate'. Keep the workplace and floor area clear of organic paint, which will react with peroxide catalyst. Do not attempt to soak up a spill using paper, rags, etc, as these will react with the catalysts and may spontaneously ignite. Do not dispose of empty or surplus peroxide catalyst in: Empty drums of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 base or mixed paint Part full drums of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 base or mixed paint Other waste containers such as skips, etc Before disposal consideration should be given to the Control of Pollution Act and The Environmental Protection Act. Specific advice and guidance should also be sought from the Environmental Agency using information presented in the Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 MSDS.

The following is not an exhaustive list of safe practices with peroxide catalyst, but are based on specific hazards that have occurred in the workplace during the use of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 . All users are strongly advised to read all literature available including HSE Guidance Note CS21, Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 MSDS, TDS and Container Labels or contact PPG Industries for advice.

2.3.1 Addition of hydrocarbon solvent to thin the material.

As noted above when peroxides react they generate heat, which increases the temperature of the bulk. The increased temperature accelerates the reaction, which increases the temperature still further. As the temperature rises the volatile solvents are driven off and at some point the temperature may become high enough to spontaneously ignite the vapours. Never add any solvent to Sigmashield 4800 / 4801

2.3.2 Addition of MEKP to base that is not being stirred.

Where the catalyst is added without stirring there is a localised high concentration of organic peroxide. Such a localised concentration difference could be considered as 'contamination of the peroxide, a known cause of runaway reaction. The temperature may increase sufficiently to cause auto-ignition. Never add catalyst without continuous stirring.

2.3.3 Excessive addition of MEKP to base.

The more peroxide added to the base, the faster the reaction progresses increasing the rate of heating and therefore reducing the time to reach auto-ignition temperature. Correct handling of peroxide and adherence to our published guidelines will avoid these problems. Never add more than the recommended amount of catalyst.

2.3.4 Mixed material left to stand over break periods.

As described above the reaction generates heat, which drives the reaction faster, in turn generating more heat, and so on. If the heat cannot be lost faster than it can be generated a runaway reaction will occur. Using the material reduces the bulk in the container, which reduces the potential for heat build-up. When applied on a surface the large area allows heat to dissipate more quickly than it builds up. Do not allow mixed material to stand. The pot life is short and as well as the risks of fire can Iead to application equipment seizing up. Read the data sheets for information relating to the pot life.

2.3.5 Disposal of MEKP into waste skips containing organic matter.

Do not dispose of empty or part empty Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 catalyst containers in waste skips or in empty pails of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 base. At the point of contact between the peroxide and the 'organic matter' there is a high concentration of peroxide. This is a 'contamination' situation similar to that discussed above and can Iead to a runaway reaction and subsequent fire.

3.0 Surface Preparation

3.1 Steel Surfaces
3.1.1 Preparation Prior to Blast Cleaning
3.1.1.1 Degreasing All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from oil, grease, and other surface contaminants prior to grit blasting. This may be carried out by high-pressure hot water detergent wash and rinse, or scrubbing with an emulsifiable solvent degreaser followed by thorough fresh water rinsing. Apart from small areas, solvent cleaning by hand is not recommended, as there is a tendency for oil and grease to be spread around and re-deposited on the surface as the solvent evaporates. Where it is unavoidable, very frequent changes of a suitable absorbent cotton cloth are essential. Health and Safety Regulations must also be observed. Ultra High Pressure (UHP) Water Blasting at pressures in excess of 25,000 psi, is also an effective method for the removal of oil and grease. 3.1.1.2 Surface Defect Repair All surface defects, including weld splatter, cracks, surface laminations and deep pitting likely to be detrimental to the protective paint system must be removed. All fins at saw cuts; burrs and sharp edges shall be removed by grinding to a minimum radius of 3mm. Welds must be inspected for condition, as these are often a source of corrosion. Undercut welds, blowholes, discontinuous seams and other defects must be rectified by building up with new weld. Uneven welds are likely to be the source of corrosion and high spots will need to be ground smooth. It is not necessary to grind flush. 3.1.1.3 Blast Cleaning Blasting should not take place when the relative humidity is greater than 90% and the surface temperature of the steel is less than 3C below the temperature of the dew point. Surfaces should be prepared by blast cleaning to BS 7079 Part A1:1989 (ISO 8501-1:1988), Sa 2.5 and shall have a surface profile conforming with COARSE grade using ISO 8503-1 (1988) BS 7079 Part E1 (1989) Grit Comparator. If a surface profile comparator is not available then the measured profile should be in the range 75 125 microns. The risk of oil impregnated grit re-contaminating the surface cannot be stressed too strongly. For this reason the use of re-cycled grit is not recommended. Spent abrasives should be removed completely from prepared surfaces by vacuum cleaning, stiff brushing, or by blowing clean with dry, oil-free compressed air. Freedom from residual grit, shot, dust, etc. shall be checked by the use of transparent self-adhesive tape. The adhesive side of the tape should be pressed onto the surface and when removed, inspected for adherent rust, scale and abrasive dust. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 should be applied before visible re-rusting occurs or within 4 hours (in an internal environment), whichever is the sooner. If discolouration or flash rusting occurs, it will be necessary to re-blast surfaces as above. Inhibitive treatments applied to the steel to prevent re-rusting are not to be used.

3.1.1.4 Soluble salt contamination The maximum recommended chloride ion concentration on the steel surface is 5 g/cm2. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 products are not suitable for application to zinc based surfaces, including inorganic zinc silicate, zinc rich epoxy, zinc metal spray or galvanised steel.

3.2 Concrete Surfaces

3.2.1 Concrete Preparation
Concrete is by nature a variable surface for the application of coatings and linings. Each job needs to be carefully assessed individually before treatment, to evaluate the best method of surface preparation. This is particularly the case with old unknown concrete and PPG Industries Technical Department should be consulted for advice and to determine the need for a site inspection. In general the following points should be taken into consideration: Concrete must be at least eight weeks old with moisture content of no more than 5%. Skimmed floors may well suffer from surface laitance, which is best removed by controlled blast cleaning to avoid exposing concrete aggregate. In the case of coarse concrete, mechanical scabbling may be a more advisable alternative. All cracks and other imperfections should be cut out with square edges and made good with an approved cement mortar or filler. The edges must be close knit and the filling level with the surrounding surface. All knibs should be removed, and repairs allowed to dry thoroughly before being coated.

4.0 Handling, Storage and Application Guidelines

4.1 Storage
The Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 are supplied in 20 Kg or 5 Kg units, which are supplied with a bottle containing 2% of 714 by weight. For application under elevated temperature ambient conditions above 25C the material is supplied in a retarded form. This assists in controlling the rate of temperature increase and in extending the workable pot life at these higher temperatures. Under extreme application temperature conditions additional retarder may be required. This would normally be supplied following discussion with PPG Industries. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 must be stored between +5 C and +25 C. The lower the temperature at the time of mixing, the longer the workable pot life.

4.2 Mixing Procedure For Sigmashield 4800 / 4801

In hot climates surface temperatures can easily reach 60C in direct sunlight so remove only sufficient containers for immediate use and keep in the shade. Stand these on a wooden pallet or similar to reduce heat transmission from the ground before mixing and during application. The temperature of the mixed material should be monitored; once this exceeds 40C the remaining working pot life is severely limited. The following graph shows practical pot life carried out under high temperature conditions and clearly demonstrates the influence of initial temperature on working pot life. In the case of the samples mixed at the higher temperature pot lives are unacceptably low for practical use, whereas samples cooled initially to 25C before mixing have acceptable working pot lives. WARNING Pot lives are only approximate. Should obvious thickening or lumpiness develop the material must immediately be removed and discarded and the equipment flushed using Thinner 50-02 Never add 714 to the base before adding and thoroughly mixing retarder if supplied separately. Never add 714 to the retarder or vice versa. Never attempt to thin Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 with Thinner or other solvents, since these can seriously impair the performance of the material.

4.3 Application
Minimum air temperature 3C Maximum relative humidity 85% Steel temperature must be at least 3C above the dew point temperature. Maximum air/substrate temp 45C

4.3.1 Spray Application

A mechanical stirrer of the paddle type is required for mixing the material prior to use. An open top pail containing appropriate cleansing solvent (Thinner 50-02) should be available for flushing pump unit, together with a selection of tools for removal of gun, hoses and pump wet end. Operatives must wear suitable protective clothing and appropriate health and safety advice to be followed in all cases. The spray pump should be an airless type with a minimum ratio of 45:1 and a delivery rate of 4 litres per minute. The pump should be fitted with leather seals although Teflon (PTFE) is acceptable. All fluid filters should be removed from the system. A 10mm (3/8) I.D. nylon fluid hose is required. Fluid hose of small diameter is unsuitable and must not be used. The gun should be large bore mastic type (Graco Hydramastic Golden) fitted with swivel connector to allow free movement of the hose. Tip size between 0.58mm and 1.01mm (23-40 thou) can be used with appropriate fan angle for the piece to be coated. Reverse-a-clean or Titan adjustable tips are ideally suited to this application. It is recommended that spray equipment is flushed with styrene monomer immediately before spraying and cleaned with Thinner 50-02 during and at the completion of the spray operation. We recommend flushing of the equipment be undertaken at regular intervals if significant quantities of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 are to be applied. Ideally, two airless spray pumps should be employed, one for spraying, whilst the second pump is circulating solvent (Thinner 50-02) ready for switching, every hour (or less as circumstances dictate) to prevent possible seizing of equipment with catalysed material. Working pot life after mixing of retarded material normally 40 minutes at an initial mixing temperature of 25C.

4.3.2 Application Procedure for Press Faced Flanges

This procedure covers the application of Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 glass flake reinforced polyester and ester linings on flanges to obtain the smoothest possible finish. Surface should be grit blasted and primed in accordance with the relevant application data sheets, and one coat of the lining system applied. A melamine-faced chipboard (16mm thick) should be obtained and cut to the outside size of the flange face to be lined. Ideally this board should be drilled to accept nuts and bolts for clamping it in place through bolt holes already present in the flange, alternatively G clamps can be used but these are only really suitable for small flanges. This should then be thoroughly waxed and polished 3 to 5 times using a suitable mould release wax. A small quantity of the specified Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 material should then be mixed thoroughly with the correct quantity and type of 714 and applied at approximately 1000 microns onto the waxed surface. Allow to cure. The glass flake material on the board should be over-coated with freshly mixed material and the flange face should be coated simultaneously while the two surfaces are still wet they should be clamped together as described in 4 above. Remove excess material, for example in nozzle bore while in the uncured state. Leave overnight before removing board by sharp lateral force. Clean off excess material from edges, bore, and bolt holes using a rasp or file taking care not to penetrate through to the steel.

NB: For raised face flanges a spacer may be incorporated into the wet material on the Melamine board if considered necessary, to ensure a minimum thickness.

4.4 Removal and Repair Procedure

Existing surfaces should be clean and free from previous cargo, contamination, etc. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 should be removed using angle grinders to a firm edge and these edges feathered to provide a gentle transition from substrate to the original upper surface. The underlying steel surface should then be spot-blasted in accordance with section 3.1.1.3 immediately prior to coating. The Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 system should then be re-applied to the specified film thickness in line with the recommendations set down elsewhere in this manual.

5.0 Spreading Rates and Overcoating Times

5.1 Spreading Rates
The spreading rates shown in our Technical Data Sheets as 'Theoretical Spread at Normal Dry Film Thickness' are calculated from the volume solids of that product. The figure given is the spread that would be achieved if the paint were applied evenly to a plane surface without any losses at the dry film thickness indicated. The theoretical volume spread rate is calculated by the equation: m2 /ltr = 10 x % v (s) DFT in microns The theoretical weight spread rate is calculated by the equation: m2 /kg = 10 x % v (s) DFT in microns x SG or Kg /m2 = DFT in microns x SG 10 x % v (s)

Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 contains styrene, which is not considered a solvent as it chemically reacts with the resin in the presence of the 714. Hence Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 has a theoretical volume solids of 100%. However, styrene is volatile and a small amount can be lost during application prior to reaction occurring. Also Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 can physically 'shrink' as the polymer cures. Together these two factors can lead to the practical thickness being less than that expected theoretically. To account for this our Technical Data Sheets show a typical, practical volume solid of 80% 5%. Many factors must be considered when estimating practical spreading rates of paint and allowance must be made for: Surface Profile The degree of roughness of a surface (which may be natural, due to erosion/corrosion or from abrasive blasting) has an effect on the amount of paint used to cover the surface. This factor has a greater influence on first coat paints than on subsequent coats. Surface Porosity The degree of porosity of concrete and other surfaces will obviously have an effect on the amount of paint used, especially in the case of the first coat. The more porous the surface the more paint will be used.

Method of Application Spray application generally causes more losses of paint than other methods, e.g. brush or roller. Quite severe losses can be caused due to over-spray and due to windy conditions during external painting. Normal Wastage This would include drips from brushes/rollers, residues left unused in spray pipelines, on brushes and in pots, drums, etc. Accessibility of Surfaces to be Painted Losses can occur if staging is erected in such a way as to make it difficult for painters to apply paint. Similarly, bad lighting or obstructions, which may make continuous work difficult, can also cause wastage. Over Application Where a minimum dry film thickness is specified an operator will normally apply more than the minimum in order to avoid deficiency corrections at a later stage. Measured dry film thicknesses are generally, therefore, found to be higher than the minimum film thickness specified. The variable nature of these and other factors mean that it is difficult for the paint manufacturer to give recommendations wastage. The estimation of a suitable allowance to cover losses in any particular circumstances can be best undertaken by the professional painting contractor or estimator in the light of their wider practical experience.

5.2 Over-coating Times

The minimum over-coating times which we show in our data sheets indicate the time to be allowed for the drying and sufficient hardening of the coating before applying further coats of paint and assume: That the coating has been applied at the normal recommended thickness. That the drying conditions during and after application were good, particularly in respect of temperature, ventilation and relative humidity. That the paint used for over-coating is suitable for the purpose and is applied by a suitable method.

It will be appreciated that the over-coating times shown in the data sheets are liable to variation if the above conditions are not met. Maximum over-coating times, where shown, indicate the optimum period wherein over-coating should be undertaken, to obtain satisfactory inter-coat adhesion. Sigmashield 4800 / 4801 products have an 'air inhibited surface' and are therefore indefinitely over-coatable (except wax topcoat). The over-coating times do not indicate the time required to develop maximum chemical or weather resistance

Maintenance steel

June 2013 revision of September 2005

Zinc silicates are widely specified as the primer for much of the steel utilised by the petrochemical and offshore industries. They may be used without topcoats as tank linings, but organic topcoats are normally specified for atmospheric exposure. In acidic and alkaline environments zinc corrodes rapidly and topcoats improve durability as well as appearance. Two main types of zinc silicate are now available. Water based alkyl silicates are mainly used as tank linings, although there is increasing interest in their use on structural steel. Solvent based ethyl zinc silicates are most commonly used on steel structures. The following aspects are covered in this note: 1. 2. 3. 4. Porosity topcoat bubbling removal of contamination Excessive thickness mud cracking low cohesive strength Formation of zinc salts effect of salts on performance removal of salts Spot repair of old zinc silicate/organic systems

1. POROSITY OF ZINC SILICATES Zinc silicates are by nature porous. The porous silicate matrix of a freshly applied zinc silicate does not fill all the available space between the zinc particles. This leads to a number of practical disadvantages. An understanding of these can help to avoid possible problems: a. organic topcoat bubbling b. contamination difficult to remove a. Topcoat bubbling Also known as popping or application blistering, this is a problem which causes more irritation than any other. As already mentioned zinc silicates are porous by nature. After several months of curing outdoors, the porosity gradually fills to form a close, dense film due to formation of zinc salts by reaction with moisture and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Most construction schedules do not allow one or two months before topcoating and the primer must be topcoated while it is under cover and still porous. This often causes bubbling of the subsequent topcoat. There is always a risk of popping when overcoating zinc silicates, but the longer they have been weathered the less the likelihood of problems.

September 2005 The mechanism Popping is caused by the release of air and gas, in bubble form, from a porous surface through freshly applied wet paint films. This causes blisters which either break, leaving a pinhole, or remain in the film. When a solvent containing organic topcoat is spray applied to a porous surface, some of the solvent penetrates into the pores. At the same time there is a drop in the surface temperature due to decompression and sudden solvent evaporation. The temperature rapidly increases again, expanding the air and gas in the pores. Additionally there is a tendency for the solvent trapped in the pores to try to release itself. These combinded actions cause the formation of bubbles.

Popping The higher the ambient temperature the greater the problem and if the surface temperature is steadily rising due to exposure to the sun the problem will be worse. Topcoat bubbling is also more likely with fast overcoating times or by drying of the zinc silicate in conditions of very low humidity. The likelihood of topcoat pinholing or blistering over inorganic zinc primers depends on both the choice of primer and the choice of topcoat. Application of a glossy (high binder content/low PVC) finish directly to a zinc silicate primer is likely to cause problems. Intact blisters or pinholes easily visible to the naked eye will usually not be accepted and will normally require repair. Very small hardly visible pinholes are usually acceptable and in practice, even if the zinc appears to be exposed at small holes, these are generally impregnated with coating. Arguments sometimes arise over whether pinholes are or are not closed. The worry being that if the zinc silicate is exposed to the atmosphere, corrosion may take place. This can easily be checked using a low voltage wet sponge tester. Usually when this test is applied to a typical zinc silicate/epoxy/polyurethane system still showing some pinholes after application of the final coat, no holidays (holes) are indicated. Response is often negative even after the first coat of epoxy, but positive on the conductive zinc primer.

June 2013 Minimising popping from the start The quality of the application of the zinc silicate plays a crucial role. It should be spray applied as an even wet film to the correct wet film thickness. In hot conditions some extra thinner may be needed. Excessive film thickness should be carefully avoided. Dry spray/overspray should also be avoided as far as possible and must be removed before topcoating. It is a loose powder which can be rubbed off by light abrasion or by rubbing with aluminium wire mesh. (This may have to be done quite quickly in hot conditions where heavy overnight condensation is usual). Conventional spray (air spray) gives the best results because it gives an extra degree of application control, but to obtain the highest productivity airless application is usually preferred. Watch out particularly for the inexperienced applicator who applies zinc primers for maximum productivity using a powerful airless unit at high pressure with a large, worn tip. The effect will be rather like using a garden hose, with clouds of dry spray settling on the surface, making the subsequent topcoat application a nightmare. The topcoat usually gets the blame for the bubbling, but the problem has been caused by poor primer application. Less problems are usually encountered if the applicator is experienced in the use of inorganic zinc primers. What if the primer has already been applied? There are a few well tried techniques which help avoid pinholing when organic topcoats are applied to a freshly applied zinc silicate. None of these can be guaranteed to be 100% effective if the primer application has been of poor quality: I Sealer coat The zinc primer is sealed by a sealer coat (also known as a tie coat) specially designed for porous surfaces eg. SigmaCover 522 (7420). Thin as described in the data sheet and apply 50m (2 mils) dry film thickness. This is generally the most effective solution and it also works for sealing zinc metal sprayed substrates. High build micaceous iron oxide pigmented topcoats Use a topcoat which is less sensitive for application bubbling. SigmaCover 435 (7427) is an example which works if the quality of the primer application is reasonable and application is done by mist coat as described below.

II

Some additional hints If the primer is porous and popping occurs, a mist coat/full coat application can be helpful. The primer is first sealed by a very thin (hardly closed) film of the first topcoat. Shortly afterwards (usually within 15 minutes) the mist coat is recoated to reach the specified dry film thickness. This technique may have to be repeated with subsequent coats. It works quite well at low temperatures, but often will not help if the surface temperature is high. Try to avoid application of the first topcoat if the surface temperature is expected to rise. If application to surfaces which have been in direct sunlight can be scheduled to take place as the surface temperature is reducing, pinholing will be almost completely avoided. (This also works for application of organic coatings to exposed concrete surfaces). Where application over a warm/hot zinc silicate cannot be avoided then the use of SigmaCover 522 (7420), thinned as described in the data sheet is a good solution. page 3/8

June 2013 Zinc silicates require contact with moisture to enable full cure and a reduction in porosity. If it is practical to store steelwork outside for a while between zinc silicate and topcoat application then the risk of bubbling will be reduced. The surface may be sprayed with clean water. It is often not realised that steel coated with a solvent based zinc silicate can be moved outside very soon after application, even when it is raining. None of the above is a perfect solution for all situations. When application bubbling becomes a problem it is usually because of a complex mixture of technical and commercial reasons. If you need help, write down all information which is relevant and contact your Sigma representative. Information needed includes the coating system, thinners being used and amounts per coat, ambient temperature and surface temperature during day and night, humidity during the day and night, application equipment with tip sizes, time and exposure conditions between zinc silicate and topcoat application, thickness of primer and topcoats, presence of dry spray etc.. General considerations Topcoat bubbling occurs to some extent on all zinc silicate/organic systems. If the topcoat is a glossy yellow it will be more obvious than if it is a dull grey. Some plant owners are used to it and accept it as a fact of life, others find it unacceptable. As with most similar situations a compromise is usually necessary. It is impossible to reach an automobile finish with this type of high build system, which is primarily designed for corrosion protection in severe conditions. It is however unreasonable to expect the final customer to accept a surface that looks like the moon. If you are faced with topcoat bubbling and a well tried and tested system is being used, remember that the application of the primer is frequently the cause. Try to get this improved. Also in hot conditions try to reschedule the application or shade the area concerned. b. Removal of contamination The porous nature of zinc silicates can make certain types of contamination difficult to remove. Oils and greases can be particularly awkward with high pressure water washing with detergent, followed by clean water, being the best option for cleaning the cured primer. Solvent cleaning is sometimes used for small areas. Apart from the health and safety aspects, this often only spreads oily contamination over a wider area.

2. EXCESSIVE THICKNESS OF ZINC SILICATES

1706
Maintenance steel

June 2013 If zinc silicates are applied at too high a dry film thickness, problems can arise eg. mud cracking or low cohesive strength. An understanding of what is happening can help avoid trouble: a. Mud Cracking In some situations after the application of a zinc silicate, the film cracks. This is due to shrinkage during drying and is known as "mud cracking" because it resembles the cracks which form in sun dried mud. There are a number of possible causes: I II Spraying to a too high dry film thickness. Application over areas of too low blast profile. This can happen particularly at welds where there are areas of very hard material. After blasting, the profile remains low and application of too much material can cause cracking. If relative humidity is high during the application and ventilation is poor this can also be a cause of cracking due to a too fast curing of the top layer. A product beyond its shelf life will often have a higher mud cracking tendency than when fresh.

III IV

The thickness at which cracking takes place depends on the formulation of the zinc silicate. Some are very critical in this respect and others rather tolerant. The mud cracking limit can be as low as 75 microns (3 mils) up to as high as 200 microns (8 mils) dry film thickness. Sigma Coatings' products perform well in this respect with the limit generally being in excess of 150 m (6 mils). For most products mud cracking only becomes a problem when internal corners of small beams and angles etc are being coated. While trying to reach the minimum dry film thickness all over, the sprayer tends to make several overlapping passes in the corners. This often leads to excessive dry film thickness and mud cracking.

Mud cracking

June 2013 When this is occasionally a problem, brushing out the corners while the primer is still wet will help. If it becomes a serious problem during airless spray application, check the angle of the tip being used. A narrow tip may have been chosen for more economical spraying of small components. This requires more passes and can cause a high build-up of wet coating in corners, making the problem worse. Switching to a wider angle will usually solve the problem and is more economical in the end, even though more material may seem to be lost due to overspray. b. Low Cohesive Strength During and just after application, conditions must be dry to let the solvent evaporate. After this the curing phase starts. The film reacts with moisture to form an insoluble inorganic silicate matrix. After the initial drying the fastest cure is provided in conditions of high humidity. Overnight condensation and warm weather are ideal. A zinc silicate which is not properly cured will remain weak and will not reach the high hardness levels expected from inorganic zinc primers. In very dry conditions a zinc silicate may take a long time to reach full hardness. (Regular spraying of the surface with clean water can be helpful in this situation). Also, if applied too thickly, through-hardening takes a long time or may even never take place. If topcoating is done on not adequately cured zinc silicate, the primer may never attain full hardness. When epoxy topcoats are applied to a not fully cured zinc silicate problems arise from the low cohesive strength of the primer. The epoxy shrinks on drying and forms a relatively brittle film. Quite minor impact damage can result in delamination by splitting in the silicate primer. The specification of a zinc silicate to be applied in conditions known to be very dry with continuous low humidity is best avoided eg. in some shop circumstances. Zinc epoxies are a better choice in this situation, although it should be noted that they generally have a lower heat resistance. 3. FORMATION OF ZINC SALTS Occasionally on site there is a problem with zinc salt formation. Zinc primers protect steel from corrosion by sacrificial protection. The zinc corrodes instead of the steel. During this corrosion process zinc reacts with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water to form a zinc salt. O2/H2O/CO2 Zn2+ ------> ZnCO3.Zn(OH)2 The exposed zinc at the surface of a zinc silicate surface can also react directly with the atmosphere causing zinc salt formation. In both cases the zinc salts are visible as a white/grey surface colouring. The composition of the zinc salts depends on the circumstances in which they were formed. In unpolluted atmospheric conditions (oxygen, carbon dioxide and water) they will be a mixture of basic zinc carbonate, zinc hydroxide and zinc oxide. These zinc salts, known as zinc patina, close-up the surface pores and thus help to protect of the steel substrate. When zinc comes into contact with pure (condensed) water and there is little or no air available, large quantities of zinc hydroxide are formed. This is called "white rust" and often occurs when a water layer is trapped between two zinc coated plates. It is also often seen in situations when a surface is almost continuously in contact with condensed water. This type of zinc salt is partially soluble in water. page 6/8

Maintenance steel

June 2013 Under the influence of air pollutants such as sulphur dioxide (industry) or chlorides (coastal) basic zinc sulphate or basic zinc chloride are formed. These are only slightly soluble in water and do not form a closed film and thus have no protective function. The formation of zinc salts is influenced by various factors, including the time that water remains in continuous contact with the surface. Puddles which form on steel stacked outside often result in the formation of white rust. Acid rain or chloride containing rain water cause the formation of zinc salts. In coastal regions the higher concentrations of salt in the atmosphere lead to higher quantities of zinc salts to be formed. The effect of salts on system performance Zinc salts can have a negative effect on coating performance. Loose zinc salts (eg white rust) must be removed from the surface before topcoating or they will affect adhesion. Water soluble components in zinc salts may reduce adhesion of subsequent coatings. If these remain on a primer surface, then in damp conditions water is attracted through the organic topcoat (osmosis) and the zinc salts swell, damaging the intercoat adhesion. Even if no visible zinc salts are present on a zinc primer surface, adhesion problems can occur if insufficient thickness of topcoat is applied. Water migrates through thin areas of coating and forms zinc salts under the topcoat, causing delamination. For this reason, in damp conditions or immersion, an adequate thickness of organic topcoat should cover the zinc primer. Removal of zinc salts Experience and testing have shown that small quantities of zinc salts on zinc silicate primers have a minimal influence on later anti-corrosive performance. Obviously any loose zinc salts on the surface should be removed before overcoating. Particularly for critical applications, such as immersion or service in damp conditions, it makes sense to make sure that all soluble zinc salts have been removed. Various cleaning techniques can be used: a. Washing with clean water. Ideally this is done by high pressure water washing, but washing with water and a nylon bristle brush is also a good way to make sure most soluble material is removed. Heavy deposits of white rust may have to be removed by mechanical means. b. Sweep blasting. This is frequently not possible due to excessive dust formation. It has the advantage that it roughens the surface improving the adhesion of the complete coating system. At the same time welds can be fully blasted, further improving the anti-corrosive performance of the system. c. Mechanical cleaning. This can achieve an acceptable anti-corrosive performance from the coating system. Cleaning the intact primer surface until visually clean is adequate. Complete removal of all traces of zinc salts is practically impossible and also not necessary. The most effective mechanical cleaning technique is by synthetic disk (Scotch Brite). These disks enable a controlled cleaning of the surface with very limited removal of the primer. page 7/8

June 2013 Specifications Sometimes specifications require that all zinc salts must be removed before topcoating. In practice the removal of all traces is difficult and reference to the Shipbuilding Research Association of Japan Standard (SPSS) for surface cleaning may be helpful. It shows photographs of zinc salt formation on zinc epoxy and zinc silicate shop primers. It can be seen that even after sweep blasting slight traces of zinc salts remain on the surface. 4. SPOT REPAIR OF OLD ZINC SILICATE/ORGANIC SYSTEMS When zinc silicate primed systems, which are in reasonable condition, are to be repaired by spot blasting of rusty areas and touch-up of the primer, followed by an organic topcoat, it is best to avoid the use of a zinc silicate for repair. This is because when sprayed on the blasted areas there will always be an overlap onto the surrounding organic coating. This inevitably results in areas of poor adhesion. The solution is to patch prime using a zinc epoxy.

SURFACE PREPARATION Surface preparation of steel pipes must be carried out according to the Dutch standard NEN 6901 or the Swedish standard SIS 055900. The metal surface must be freed from mill scale, corrosion and all contaminations such as oil, grease, dirt, soluble salts, markings and old coatings. Weldspatters and laminations must also be removed. The coating must be applied as soon as possible after completion of the surface preparation. CHEMICAL PRETREATMENT The substrate must be precleaned to remove dirt, grease and oil. Pickling must be carried out on an industrial scale by one of the following methods. The first table describes a pickling process followed by a double water rinse. The second table describes a phosphating process consisting of pickling and rinsing followed by phosphating. The requirements for the pickling and the phosphating process are drawn up to avoid excess thickness of phosphate layers and to ensure that no acids remain on the substrate. All pickling - rinsing or phosphating liquids must be renewed when the concentrations specified are reached (see tables). The content of the bath must also be renewed when the pretreated metal leaves the bath with contamination or if sediment interferes the action of the pickling process.

* The performance of epoxy- or polyurethane coatings on phosphated steel should always be checked in advance. BLAST CLEANING Before blast cleaning the surface should be thoroughly degreased by means of suitable detergents or emulsifiers. Irregularities in the pipe surface should be removed by grinding or rotating discs. The surface should be dry before blasting. Blasting must be carried out until to standard of cleanliness of SIS-Sa2 of the Swedish norm SIS055900 (see sheet 1490). Usually a blasting profile (Rz) is recommended of approx. 50 micrometers which means a Ra or CLA value of 10-15 micrometers.

Ventilation of sufficient capacity has to be used in order to maintain a workable and safe climate during blast cleaning. The pipes should rotate during the blasting operation at a sufficient speed to obtain a regular blasted surface. Only suitable abrasives according to specification should be used (see sheet 1491). Attention should be given to the weld seams which have to be blast cleaned in a way that the whole weld seam is pretreated. Abrasives and dust should be removed completely from the blasted surface. ROTATING WIRE BRUSH CLEANING Pipes to be used for the transport of Natural Gas, showing only minor rust and in good condition, may be pretreated by rotating wire brushes before they are coated with a flowcoat. Before wire brush cleaning the surface should be thoroughly degreased by means of suitable detergents or emulsifiers. Irregularities in the pipe surface should be removed by grinding or rotating discs. The surface should be dry before blasting. Cleaning must be carried out until to standard of cleanliness of SIS-St3 of the Swedish norm SIS055900 (see sheet 1490). Ventilation of sufficient capacity has to be used in order to maintain a workable and safe climate during wire brush cleaning. The pipes should rotate during the cleaning operation at a sufficient speed to obtain a regular cleaned surface.

INTERNAL CHEMICAL CLEANING OF STEEL PIPES In-situ application

May 1998 reprint of 8-1988

GENERAL ASPECTS The "in situ" cleaning process for new and old, often corroded, pipe lines should be started with a thorough inspection of the pipe line. The internal diameter of the pipe line has to be checked and samples of rust and debris have to be collected to confirm that the cleaning operation will give the desired results. Because the total cleaning procedure will consist of a number of pig runs, a lot of information can be collected about the vertical head and elevation profile of the pipe line which knowledge is of great importance for the final coating operation. Besides that it is critical, it is very important that all pig trains containing water, chemical liquids and drying liquids are being launched solid, travel solid and are being received solid in order to clean the pipe line with success. Any condition that might impose a significant under pressure in any liquid train can cause air intrusion resulting in inadequate surface preparation and transfer of liquids to a position behind the train. The improvement in cleanliness should be continuously monitored by analysing the cleaning and pretreatment liquids, followed by, if available, inspection through a camera pig. New in situ blast cleaning methods have been developed (sand jetting system) which may be very useful also to recoat previously coated pipe lines. Removal of Dirt Dirt, sand, loose rust, loose mill scale, bolts, parts of welding rods, corrosion debris, loose scale and remainders of products previously transported to be removed by mechanical cleaning with wire brush pigs and scraper pigs followed by line washing with fresh water and solvents. Degreasing Degreasing is extremely important as the presence of oil or grease will interfere with the subsequent acid cleaning. Detergent/water flushing requires a number of passes until analysis of the degreasing agents proves that all oil and grease is removed. Chemical cleaning All mill scale and rust has to be removed completely also from corrosion pits by several passes of prescribed strength inhibited acid solutions until the internal surface is near to white metal. The spend chemicals used for cleaning have to be monitored by analysis, the degree of surface preparation has to be checked by usual inspection. Passivating After the chemical cleaning all soluble salts have to be removed (often chlorides). To prevent flash rust formation a run with a prescribed concentration of inhibiting or passivating solution is to be carried out followed by rinsing the pipe line with fresh water until the water reach neutrality. Drying All moisture in the pipe line has to be removed in order that a dry steel surface is available for coating by sending selected drying solvents through the pipe line followed by pigging with foam pigs together with dry air or nitrogen ventilation. In this way a clean and dry surface is achieved, together with a dehumidified atmosphere within the pipe line giving optimal conditions to coat the pipe line in situ.

SURFACE PREPARATION OF CONCRETE (FLOORS)

a three page issue GENERAL ASPECTS Once a coating or a polymer flooring has been selected it is essential that the surface preparation of concrete is done correctly, otherwise optimum performance will not be obtained.

1496
June 2013 revision of February 2009

New concrete: In the case of newly made concrete it is important that the concrete has been laid for a minimum of 28 days before applying a coating or polymer flooring. The moisture content of the concrete should be below 4 % by weight. The release of the surplus water is dependant on the thickness of the concrete, the season, the temperature and relative humidity of the environment and the prevailing ventilation conditions. So the moisture content of the concrete should always be measured. The moisture content at the concrete surface can be measured by an electronic instrument called Protimeter (Protimeter plc, U.K. telex 849305). An indication in the red area means that the concrete is still too wet. An indication in the green area means that the concrete can be coated. An indication in the yellow area means be careful. A concrete area of approx. 4 m should be covered by a plastic sheet for 24 hours after which the measurement has to be repeated. If the indication becomes red then the subfloor is still too wet to apply a flooring. A major problem with new concrete floors is the top surface layer known as laitance. This water rich top layer is formed during the binding period and is mechanically weak. In addition to the poor mechanical properties, the laitance has a chemical composition different from the rest of the concrete. Concrete floors with this laitance are obviously poor substrates to apply coatings to. It should therefore be a pre-condition that the laitance has been removed prior to the application of any floor coating or polymer flooring. Old concrete: The removal of all oils, greases etc., together with the removal of the remains of any previously applied coating is required to ensure a sound base for the application of a coating, polymer flooring or screed. SURFACE PREPARATION In order to ensure good adhesion and the long term performance of any floor coating or polymer flooring it is essential that the correct type of surface preparation is carried out. The removal of chemicals, oil, grease and fat must be completed before any other preparation work commences such as e.g. blasting or acid etching (ASTM D4259 or ASTM D4260). Mechanical tool cleaning must always be followed by removal of dust by means of vacuum cleaners. Removal of chemicals from floor surfaces: Concrete that has become contaminated by chemicals must be neutralised before coating. If the contamination is acidic, it must be neutralised with an alkaline cleaner and rinsed thoroughly with fresh water. If the contamination is alkaline it can be cleaned with detergents and/or steam. Oil and grease contamination can be removed by a combination of solvents, steam and/or detergents depending on the severity of the contamination.

Abrasive blast cleaning: Abrasive blast cleaning should always be the best choice for the pretreatment of concrete if polymer flooring systems have to be applied. Blast cleaning is normally carried out using an enclosed system such as a Vacu-Blast, or Auto-Blast type machine. These systems are virtually dust free and work on the principal of propelling small particles of abrasive i.e. steel shot, against the floor surface whilst at the same time vacuum recovering the dust and abrasive to a recovery hopper. In addition to cleaning the floor and removing any laitance, blasting will leave the floor surface with a profile which will enable the coating to gain a physical as well as chemical adhesion to the substrate. Blast cleaning is the recommended system for large floor areas. Scarifying: Scarifying (sometimes known as scabbling) involves the use of rotating wheels and brushes to scour the concrete surface. The scarifying equipment is pushed over the floor and the enclosed rotating wheels abrade the surface. It is not as efficient or as dust free as a Vacu-Blast machine and can in the wrong hands, cause excessive damage to the substrate. It is most effective on small areas or areas where abrasive blast cleaning cannot be carried out. Power grinding: Similar to scarifying this method can be used to open up holes and voids and to remove loose materials from the surface of poured concrete and pre-cast slabs. Power grinding is slower than blasting but could be considered for small external floor areas. One should take care that the concrete surface is not polished by the power grinding. Wire brushing: Wire brushing can be used to remove loose material from the surface and open up holes and voids in poured concrete. This can be either by power or hand wire brushing, power wire brushing giving increased productivity and effectiveness. Impact tools: Concrete surfaces can be roughened using impact tools such as needle guns etc. However this method can be slow and should only be used for small repairs. Granulating or Hammering machines work quicker but should only be used if very hard concrete must be roughened or if flooring screeds have to be applied. Impact tools are normally electrically or compressed air driven and work on a principal of a sharpened tool vibrating against the surface. It is fairly easy for an inexperienced operative to gouge the concrete surface and therefore great care should be taken when using this method of preparation. Acid etching: This method of surface preparation is most suited for use on new concrete floors (not for sand/cement screeds). It is carried out to remove laitance but will not remove old paint or oil and grease and should only be used in areas where sufficient drainage exists to allow the removal of the water and acid solutions. To carry out acid etching the following procedure should be followed: Before commencing acid etching the concrete surface should be cleaned of all loose concrete. Deposits of oil and grease should be removed by steam cleaning or by using an alkaline cleaner or detergents. Thoroughly wet the floor with water Sprinkle an 8% to 10% solution of phosphoric acid in water uniformly over the floor. The approximate spreading rate is 1,5 m to 1 litre of solution.

The acid solution should remain on the surface for 2 to 4 minutes and then be rinsed thoroughly with clean water. The rinsing can be done with a water hose and a sweeping broom. It is important that the rinsing is done immediately to prevent the formation of salts on the surface, which are difficult to remove. The concrete surface should be checked for acidity using pH paper and should have a pH of 7 or higher. Depending on the type of concrete, more than one operation may be required to achieve a satisfactory surface profile. A thorough rinsing with clean water should be carried out after each acid etch application. The surface profile after acid etching should be similar to fine sandpaper. The concrete should be allowed to dry prior to applying the coating. Personnel involved in acid etching operations should be provided with safety goggles, protective clothing, rubber gloves and rubber boots. Rubber buckets should be used for mixing the solution. THE ACID SHOULD ALWAYS BE ADDED TO THE WATER rather than the water added to the acid. Flame cleaning: Where conditions permit, deeply impregnated oils and greases can be removed from concrete floors by flame or superheated compressed air. This method involves the use of heat to bring the oil, grease etc. to the surface and should be carried out under strict supervision with the necessary precautions being taken in view of the possible hazards involved. After flame cleaning the surface should always be power tool cleaned.

GENERAL For ease of reference figures are usually stated in one unit only. Equivalents are given in the conversion tables. See sheets 1410 Conversion tables, 1412 Nomograph conversion from english units to metric units and 1413 S.I. units. All values are given for temperature of 20C (68F) and relative humidity of 70%, unless stated otherwise. GLOSS With a Lange gloss gauge 5 ranges of gloss have been determined, compared with a standard sheet of black polished glass. The gloss values are determined on Lange gloss gauge (angle 60) according to ISO 2813 (= ASTM D-523). The expressions used in the data sheets are: Flat corresponds with 0- 15% Eggshell corresponds with 15- 30% Semi-gloss corresponds with 30- 60% Gloss corresponds with 60- 80% High-gloss corresponds with 80-100% (at 20 angle above 70%) In practice, the level of gloss and surface finish will be dependent upon a number of factors, including application and the condition of the surface to be overcoated. COLOUR For products supplied in different colours three colour quality levels exist: 1. Good For finishes in general, especially based on polyurethane, this quality matches the colour standard 2. Approximate For undercoats and low gloss topcoats in general, this quality level is close to the colour standard 3. Best Match For primers in general, this quality level is near to the colour standard MICACEOUS IRON OXIDE AND/OR ALUMINIUM CONTAINING PAINTS Micaceous iron oxide and/or aluminium containing paints show different appearance and colour impression depending on thickness and application method. A touch-up by brushing may be visible on a sprayed area. SHELF LIFE The period from the date of manufacture during which the paint can be transported and stored in undamaged and unopened packing at temperatures between 5-35C, without any influence on the application or performance of the paint. After exceeding this period the paint is subject to reinspection. Water-borne products must be protected from freezing at all times during storage and/or transport.

SUBSTRATE CONDITIONS & TEMPERATURES In order to achieve optimal application results, the technical requirements as stated in the relevant product data sheets should be followed. It is recommended that during the application and initial curing, the substrate temperature does not exceed 40 C, unless otherwise stated in the relevant PDS. However, maintaining the required conditions in practice might prove difficult, and the substrate temperature may occasionally exceed the recommended limits. In such cases special care must be taken to ensure proper substrate wetting and film formation, avoid excessive over spray, dry spray, sagging and other application related coating defects. Precautions such as additional thinning of the coating, providing suitable sun/heat protection and/or forced ventilation might be adequate. However, maintaining the recommended application conditions will facilitate optimal application results. For further details regarding substrate conditions and temperatures refer to: Information Sheet 1490 Cleaning of steel and removal of rust Information Sheet 1650 Relative Humidity / Substrate Temperature / Air Temperature

FULL CURE Full cure means, that the properties of a paint as described in the product data sheet are achieved (suitable for service). However, in case of dry bulk carriage an extra curing time may be required before the coating has reached its full mechanical strength and is suitable for carriage of hard angular cargoes FLASH POINT For paints the flash point is determined according to ISO 1523 (= ASTM D-3278, corresponding to Sigma method SM 311-41) or calculated. For thinners the flash point is determined according to DIN 51755 (corresponding to Sigma method SM 311-42) or calculated. Please always refer to the latest Material Safety Data Sheet for the paint and thinners. OVERCOATING TABLE The data given is a fair indication for normal conditions, longer drying times are necessary at lower temperatures and under unfavourable weather and/or ventilation conditions and higher dry film thicknesses. For epoxy coatings the minimum curing time for the recommended dft is given in the data sheets. For average dfts 50% higher, the minimum overcoating time should be multiplied by 1,5 and for average dfts 100% higher the multiplication factor is 2,5. Recoating data are based on atmospheric exposure, for other exposure conditions contact your nearest sales office. TOUCH DRY The touch dry time corresponds with the tack free time measured in accordance with ASTM D-1640 (corresponding with Sigma method SM 315-01). The touch dry time will be influenced by dft, ventilation conditions and substrate temperature. DRY TO HANDLE The dry to handle time corresponds with the dry-through time measured in accordance with ASTM D-1640 (corresponding with Sigma method SM 315-01) and indicates the time when walking over is possible. The dry-to-handle time will be influenced by dft, ventilation conditions and substrate temperature and should not be necessarily interpreted as ready for transportation due to the likelihood of excessive damage. DRY FILM THICKNESS (dft) / WET FILM THICKNESS (wft) The dry film thickness can be calculated from the applied wet film thickness: dft x 100 dft = wft x % volume solids wft = 100 % volume solids Recommended dft The dry film thickness for a paint system indicated in our system sheets is the recommended dft for the specific exposure conditions and based on airless spray application. Dft specifications referred to herein are valid for the coatings and coating systems in this manual unless mentioned otherwise in the respective product and system sheets.

Minimum dft for application The minimum dft of a paint system (also a one coat system) should follow the 90/10 rule (e.g. 90% of the recommended dft is acceptable for up to 10% of the readings only), whilst for individual coats the minimum dft should not be lower than 80% of the recommended dft, and must form a closed film. Maximum dft for application - General Application of a paint at thicknesses in excess of the dft recommended on the product data sheet may result in performance problems. Such problems include solvent retention and a reduction in cohesive strength in association with certain types of topcoat. In a coating system, the dft of a primer is of the utmost importance. In general, Sigma Coatings would restrict the dft of any primer to 1.5 times that specified on the product data sheet. For a coating system, including the individual coats (except the primer), the maximum dft is 2 times the recommended dft, whereas for the critical areas of a painted structure, 10% of the readings can be between 2 and 2.2 times the recommended dft. Critical areas are e.g. weld seams, edges, bolts, corners, nuts and areas of difficult access. For coating specifications requiring coating thicknesses which exceed the recommended dfts as mentioned in the product and system sheets, the maximum dft allowed should be established per project prior to startup. Over-application and its consequences is a complex subject and is dependent on the generic type of system, recommended dft and number of coats, as well as the intended exposure. Please refer to your local Sigma Coatings office if you should have any questions on this important issue. The life time of any protective coating system is also determined by the dry film thickness applied to critical areas. The dft of all of these critical areas should be closely monitored and controlled by the application of stripe coats with the same material as the consecutive coat of the system (or as recommended otherwise by Sigma Coatings). Please note that if a solvented coating has been applied over the specified dft then the minimum overcoating time must be increased to ensure that sufficient time is given for solvent evaporation. Care must also be taken to avoid over-application on critical areas during the progress of the job. Overapplication does not lead to enhanced performance life time of the coating system. Maximum dft for application - Linings For linings for severe exposure conditions or reinforced solvent free systems, the dft of the primer and the subsequent coatings can be more critical. Dft limitations are detailed in the respective system / product data sheets.

VOC Until further notice, the heavy duty Marine and PC coatings industries in Europe must comply with the VOC Directive 1999/13/EC (SED). VOC values (in g/kg) to assist with the annual calculation of the solvent limits related to the SED requirements, are mentioned on each Product Datasheet as well as on the label of all products. For decorative, functional and protective coatings used in buildings, the VOC Directive 2004/42/EC applies. This is based on compliant coatings. Label Example: 1999/13/EC : 320 g/kg 2004/42/IIa (i) 600 (2007) 360 Explanation Label Example: 1999/13/EC : 320 g/kg 2004/42/IIa (i) 600 (2007) 360 Max VOC according to Directive 1999/13/EC for material in the can. Reference to the sub-category according to Directive 2004/42/IIa Threshold limit for sub-category according to Directive 2004/42/IIa from 1.1.2007 till 1.1.2010 The max content of VOC in g/l of the product in a ready to use condition (including maximum amount of thinner according to Product Datasheet).

SOLIDS CONTENT BY VOLUME This value is given in the product data sheet. It can be determined by a laboratory test, Sigma Method 31410 corresponding to ISO method 3233 or calculated from the formulation. The calculated theoretical solids content by volume is in general lower than the determined solids content by volume. The latter approximates best to practice, assuming that the table for spreading rate losses is used correctly. Diluents with a high boiling point and low vapour pressure are widely used in solvent free coatings, they will remain in the cured film under normal ambient conditions and will therefore have negligible effect on the volume solids of these specific products. Furthermore, due to the relative high boiling point and rather low vapor pressure of these diluents, the ventilation requirements when using solvent free coatings in confined spaces to maintain the internal atmosphere at 10% of the Lower Explosion Limit, will be unchanged. TOLERANCES Values given for specific gravity, theoretical spreading rate and solids content are averages from standard production batches; these values can vary slightly, also for colours of one product.

VENTILATION Adequate ventilation during application and curing of the coating is not only required for health and safety reasons but also to ensure that the coating gives optimal performance. Stagnant air/high vapour concentrations in confined spaces must be avoided. Forced ventilation will help to avoid high vapour concentrations and possible solvent entrapment in the coating which may produce a temporary plasticising effect. Ventilation with cold, humid air in the drying stage should be avoided. Also avoid ventilation with heated air during the wet film forming stage as this approach may give skinning and increased solvent entrapment. For more information, see the following data sheets: 1430 Safety indications 1431 Safety in confined spaces and health safety, explosion hazard - toxic hazard 1434 Directives for ventilation practice THEORETICAL SPREADING RATE The theoretical spreading rate m/l for a given dry film thickness can be calculated from: m/l = % volume solids x 10 dry film thickness (in m) PRACTICAL SPREADING RATE The practical spreading rate depends on a number of factors: surface condition and profile, application method, normal, high build or solvent-free paint, skill of labour and weather conditions. It is often estimated at about 70 % of the theoretical spreading rate but under many conditions this is still far too high. For calculation purposes the following table has been composed in which spreading rate LOSSES are compiled. Substrates like wood and concrete are not included because they present too many other variable factors, especially in the preparation, the filling of pores, etc. RECOMMENDED THINNERS This product must only be thinned using the recommended Sigma thinners. The use of alternative thinners, particularly these containing alcohols, can severely inhibit the curing mechanism of certain coating types and will influence the performance. In case of the use of other thinners than advised, Sigma Coatings will not accept any responsibility.

MIXING RATIO - twin-feed products The mix ratios in volume for twin-feed applied products should be retrieved from specific data sheets. It is very important that right ratios are maintained but deviations up to max. 3% are acceptable unless otherwise stated on specific data sheets. These products are generally supplied ready for use after mixing of components as extra diluting is not allowed. INDUCTION TIME If mentioned on the product data sheet the coating should be thoroughly mixed and left for the recommended time for the particular temperature conditions at application. This induction time or precuring of the product ensures that the coating will give the required performance and application properties. POT LIFE This gives the time interval after mixing of the components of the coating during which the material can be applied, without change of application and performance properties of the coating. For solvent containing coatings an extra addition of thinner up to 5% is allowed. For solvent free coatings addition of thinner is not permitted. For solvent free and high solid coatings an exothermic reaction occurs, resulting in gelation shortly after reaching the end of the pot life. It is important to clean equipment with the recommended cleaning thinner before the pot life has expired and/or directly after completion of application of the paint.

Most paints contain flammable solvents and some contain materials which can harm the skin, or damage the health if swallowed or inhaled. Whilst most countries have developed regulations to control labelling, storage and use of toxic or hazardous material as yet there is no agreed international code or system. Sigma Coatings will adopt the local requirements in any country where their products are sold, but since it is quite impossible and even confusing to apply all the marks which could be required for every country, a Sigma Coatings system has been developed which is standard for our products throughout the world. We will then add local regulation markings in addition, if required. Two major classes of risk must be controlled and precautions defined which will reduce the risk to acceptable levels: A) Health risks, these include: 1. Gases or vapours. These could include solvent evaporation during the drying period, or perhaps formed during heating of the painted object. 2. Liquids in the paint. These might be solvents, or perhaps binders, which may be toxic if swallowed or inhaled as spray droplets, or dermatitic or toxic in contact with the skin. 3. Powders or dusts. These can be formed during heating painted objects (e.g. flame cutting or welding painted steel), or be present in powder formed during sanding operations, or in spray mist. B) Fire or explosion risks, these include: 1. Fire risk during storage or transport. Most paints other than water based products can be ignited and will support flame. 2. Explosion hazard during application. Flammable solvents in mixture with oxygen in air can explode within certain concentration limits if ignited or detonated. The following sentences are used to define the classes of hazard and this data sheet gives details of precautions which should be taken in each case.

Relatively harmless paint

Normal measures which are always applicable are: Wash hands regularly and thoroughly with warm water/soap. Immediately cover any wound or cut. Do not roll cigarettes, smoke, or eat with dirty hands. Beware of possible dust or fumes resulting from sand papering or burning. Check carefully that there is no possible fire or explosion risk. Check whether extra ventilation is required. Flash point of paints and solvents is stated in all our product data sheets. This is the lowest temperature at which a mixture of the material with air can ignite or explode. If the temperature of the air is near, or above, the flash point it is essential that sufficient ventilation air is provided to reduce the concentration of solvent well below the lower explosive limit (L.E.L.). Mixtures of solvent and air can only explode when the concentration lies between the lower and upper explosive limits. These limits vary from one solvent to another but the LEL is usually about 50 g per 1 m of air. This is described in detail in sheet 1431. In brief 200 m ventilation air is required per kilo of solvent to maintain an atmosphere below 10% of LEL. Such a mixture is safe even at temperatures above the flash point. Solvents and other components in some paints can irritate the skin, and although in normal paints this may only be a minor and temporary irritation, dermatitis of sensitive skins can be caused by solvents or chemicals in some paints. These are indicated by this glove sentence. Barrier creams together with gloves, goggles and possibly face masks should be used. In all cases, however, the habit of using solvents to clean the skin after painting should be discouraged. Contact of paint with the skin should be avoided by use of barrier creams and protective gloves. Any paint on the skin should be removed at once with skin cleaning liquids or jellies and then washed with water. Dust, smoke and spray mist can be filtered by face masks containing a dust filter cartridge. Cartridges are also available which absorb both dust and solvents. These are only effective whilst there is no apparent smell of solvent. The filter is exhausted when the odour of solvent can be detected and the filter should then be changed. It is most important that the correct filter for the class of work should be used. These are described by the manufacturers of the face mask and filter.

Highly flammable paint. Flash point up to and including 23C (DIN 53213).

Gloves recommended Paint which irritates or affects skin or mucous membranes.

Mask recommended Inhalation of dust and spraymist is harmful.

Fresh Air Mask recommended Toxic substances in paints usually enter the body by inhalation of gases, vapours, fumes, dusts or spray mists. An indication of the level of hazard is Inhalation of vapour and the Threshold Limits Value (T.L.V.), at one time called Maximum Allowable dust is harmful. Concentration (M.A.C.). This is the concentration which can be tolerated by a healthy worker for 8 hours a day without adverse effects. The lower the figure, the more toxic the substance. The concentrations are given either as parts per million (ppm), i.e. cm of vapour per m of air, or for solid dusts as mg per m. The minimum volume for air required to achieve this safe level of concentration will be given in our data sheets.

In such cases it is essential that operators are supplied with, and required to use, fresh air masks or respirators fed with clean air at positive pressure.

1431
June 2013 revision of 10-1999

When paints containing solvents are applied in enclosed or confined spaces, two hazards can exist, explosion and toxicity and precautions must be taken to eliminate them. General aspects of explosion hazards The nature of this hazard is explained in detail below. The essential precaution to be taken is that sufficient ventilation air must be provided to maintain the ratio of vapour/air at no more than 10% of the lower explosive limit. The method for calculation is given below and data on minimum ventilation air quantity is given in product data sheets. If the flash point of the solvent is above the working temperature, then an explosion cannot occur. However, it may still be necessary to ventilate to provide a clean working atmosphere or to eliminate toxic hazard. An explosion is simply very rapid burning of a flammable mixture (in the case of paint, it is the burning of solvent vapour in oxygen contained in the air). The speed of combustion is so great that there is extremely rapid development of heat and pressure (6 to 9 times the original pressure). This can lead to destruction of the compartment and injury to work people. Three factors must be present to create an explosion. a. The mixture of vapour and air must be between the lower explosive limit (LEL) and the upper explosive limit. b. The mixture must be at a temperature above the flash point temperature of the vapour. c. A source of ignition with high enough temperature and energy must be present to initiate the explosion reaction. These three factors explain the reasons for the safety precautions. Ventilation to provide an atmosphere below LEL It is usual to specify that ventilation should be provided to reduce vapour concentration to less than 10% of LEL. This large safety margin is required to allow for variations in ventilation in all parts of a compartment. (P x A) + (Q x B) The minimum ventilation air in m per minute may be calculated from the formula: t Calculation P Q A B t = = = = = volume of paint applied in the compartment in litres during time t minutes. volume of added solvent used in the paint applied in the compartment in litres in time t minutes. ventilation air quantity for 1 litre of paint to reach 10% LEL. ventilation air quantity for 1 litre of solvent to reach 10% LEL. time of application in minutes of volume P of paint.

Example 100 litres of paint (P) plus 5 litres of thinner (Q) are used within 45 minutes (t). Value A is e.g. 60 m (given in product data sheet). Value B is e.g. 130 m (given in product data sheet). Ventilation air quantity m per minute to reach 10% LEL is: (100 x 60) + (5 x 130) = 147.7 m per minute. 45 Remarks This quantity of ventilation air must be maintained throughout the application of the paint and also during the period of evaporation of solvent. The ventilation must be arranged so that all parts of the compartment are properly ventilated. It is necessary for the applicator or the contractor to check vapour concentrations (in varying positions) regularly with an explosion meter. If the concentration rises above 10% LEL, painting must stop until the vapour concentration is reduced to a safe level again. Flash point If possible paints with flash points above the ambient temperature should be used. This often is not possible, particularly in compartments heated up by strong sunlight in summer. In such cases it is even more essential that ventilation below 10% LEL is maintained. Sources of ignition Sparks, hot surfaces, flames and all other sources of ignition must be absolutely prevented. Flame proof lighting and electrical equipment must be used, spark proof tools and clothing should be used and all work must be prohibited in adjacent compartments. All equipment, whether electrical or not electrical (e.g. pneumatic pumps, spray tips, etc.) must be adequately earthed to ensure no accumulation of static electrical charge.

General aspects of toxic hazard Many solvents used in paint have some degree of toxicity and it is necessary to provide sufficient ventilation air to maintain safe atmosphere below the threshold limit value (TLV). With many common solvents this may be impractical when applying large volumes of paint in a short time. In such cases ventilation to give a clear visibility and safety from explosion will still be necessary. It will also be necessary to provide operators in the compartment with fresh air masks or hoods. Barrier creams and protective clothing may also be necessary. Full details are given below and data for calculation of RAQ (required air quantity) are also provided. It is necessary to keep certain rules when using any paint since all can be harmful (even ordinary emulsion paints are dangerous if swallowed!). The following are basic safety precautions: Inhalation of dust and fumes This must be avoided by the use of ventilation or extraction. products should be used in well ventilated areas forced ventilation or fresh air masks should be used in confined spaces a face mask should be worn when spraying, sanding or blast cleaning Skin contact Some substances used in paint may cause irritation after repeated or prolonged contact with the skin and in susceptible cases there is a risk of dermatitis. operatives with a history of skin sensitivity should not be employed in processes where skin contact can occur prolonged or repeated contact of paint with the skin should be avoided barrier cream should be supplied and used gloves should be worn do not wash hands with solvent use a proprietary hand cleanser Ingestion The ingestion (swallowing) of paint must always be avoided. food should not be brought into or consumed in the work area where coatings are stored or used thorough washing of hands and face is essential after applying paint, particularly before eating or smoking if paint or thinners should accidently be swallowed, seek medical attention immediately

Eye protection Steps should be taken to prevent material entering the eyes. goggles should be worn whenever necessary if the eyes become contaminated they should be irrigated with water; seek medical attention immediately Theoretical ventilation requirements In the product data sheets, data are given for the minimum required ventilation air quantity (RAQ) in cubic metres when 1 litre of paint is applied or when 1 litre of thinner is used. The TLV (=threshold limit value) for the mixture of components and solvents in the paint or for the mixture of solvents used in thinners has been calculated. Calculation The quantity of ventilation air required in m per minute during application and drying can be calculated from the formula: (P x M) + (Q x N) t P Q M N t = = = = = quantity of paint consumed in litres. quantity of thinner consumed in litres. min. ventilation air quantity needed to reach TLV of 1 litre of paint. min. ventilation air quantity needed to reach TLV of 1 litre of thinner. application time in minutes.

Example 100 litres of paint (P) are consumed in 45 minutes (t). 5 Litres of thinner (Q) were added to thin down the paint to the prescribed application viscosity. Value M is e.g. 780 m (see product data sheet). Value N is e.g. 2170 m (see product data sheet). The ventilation air quantity required during application and drying to reach TLV is: (100 x 780) + (5 x 2170) = 1974 m per minute 45 Remarks In semi-confined areas such as rooms with open doors and windows or the super structure of a ship, natural ventilation will be about 2 to 5 times the content of the room or space per hour, depending on weather conditions. The amount of fresh air necessary to reach TLV will be approximately 10 to 20 times the amount of fresh air necessary to reach 10% of LEL. When it is impractical to ventilate in such a way that TLV is not reached then fresh air masks must be used.

The main thing is that the surface is relatively dry, i.e. without noticeable dampness. In most cases it is recommended to test more than one spot to catch the variations of the chloride level. Remove the protective backing (w/Bresle Logo) and the 12,5cm2 foam circle and dispose. Adhere the cell to a dry surface and press firmly. It is critical to create a tight seal. The surface can be horizontal or vertical. Insert the 5cc syringe into the cell through the spongy foam perimeter. Do not inject beneath the cell or directly into the semi-transparent test area. Evacuate the air from the cell by drawing back on the syringe plunger. Remove and evacuate the syringe. Rinse the electrodes of the Conductivity meter with distilled or de-ionized water. Take 15 ml distilled or de-ionized water in small container and check the conductivity with the conductometer and write down the measured value. This is the blank liquid. Take 3 ml from this blank liquid and inject into the cell, as above. Be certain there are no air bubbles in the syringe. Hold the perimeter of the cell firmly during injection/removal of the syringe, otherwise leakage may occur. Remove the syringe from the test cell area and gently rub the top surface of the cell for 10-15 seconds to increase the dissolution speed of the water. Withdraw and re-inject the water a minimum of three times, rubbing the top of the cell for 10-15 seconds each time.

a ten page issue DERUSTING METHODS

1490
May 2013 revision of June 2007

The effective life time of a coating applied onto a steel surface is dependent to a very large extent on how thoroughly the surface has been prepared prior to painting. Surface preparation consists of primary surface preparation which aims to remove mill scale, rust and foreign matter from a steel surface prior to the application of a shop primer (prefabrication primer) or primer. Secondary surface preparation aims to remove rust and foreign matter, if any, from a steel surface coated with a shop primer (prefabrication primer) or primer prior to application of the anticorrosive paint system. A steel surface can be derusted in the following ways.

Wire brushing

Wire brushing, usually done with rotating wire brushes, is a conventional method, not suitable for the removal of mill scale, but suitable for the preparation of weld seams. The main disadvantage is, that treated surfaces are often not completely free of corrosion products and tend to become polished and contaminated with oil. This decreases the adhesion of priming paints and the performance of a paint system. Chipping or mechanical chipping is usually done in combination with wirebrushing. It is sometimes suitable for local repairs with conventional or special formulated paint systems. It is not suitable for general preparation of surfaces to be coated with epoxy or chlorinated rubber paints. It can be used for the removal of thick rust scale and economizes in later blasting operations. To remove rust, paint etc. from corners and angles in order to achieve a cleaned surface with a profile. Flame cleaning involves de-rusting by thermal treatment making use of burning equipment (acetylene or propane and oxygen). It removes almost all mill scale, but rust to a lesser extent. Therefore this method cannot meet the requirements of modern paint systems. Disc sanding involves use of rotating discs covered with abrasive material. It is used for local repairs. The quality of these discs has been very much improved, and these can give good standards of preparation.

Sweep blasting

A hand operated form of superficial blast cleaning in which a primed or coated steel surface is roughened and is free of almost all visible contamination. (except oil contamination or traces of rust) A: light sweep, purpose: roughening of intact coating and improving the adhesion of subsequent coats Abrasive: fine (0,2-0,5 mm) is most suitable when the paint surface under treatment is not to be destroyed B: heavy sweep (approx ISO-Sa1), purpose: removing of not sound coating areas - layers Abrasive: small to medium (0,2-0,5/0,2-1,5 mm) Reference: Repainting of old metallic structures, limited blast cleaning scale Technical Guide, November 1993 Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chausses 58,bd Lefebvre, F 75732 Paris Cedex 15

Dry blast cleaning

The impingement of a high kinetic energy stream of abrasive onto the surface to be prepared. It is either hand operated by jet or automatically by impeller and is the most thorough method of derusting. Centrifugal blast cleaning, compressed air blast cleaning and vacuum blast cleaning are well known types. The particles are as far as practical spherical and solid and should not contain more than the minimum practical amount of tails and irregular shapes. Primers to be used for shot blasted steel should be checked on performance. The particles show good angularity form with sharp cutting edges and should be substantially free from half-rounds (i.e. shot split in half). Unless otherwise stated in the specifications a mineral grit should be used.

Different types of water (abrasive) cleaning/jetting are in use Below you will find the most commonly used ones For more info see also information sheet 1498 (Hydrojetting) Some examples of these techniques are given below, not pretending to be complete. New developments with wet blasting methods are presented regularly, improving the efficiency and reducing the amount of water or grit. LOW PRESSURE WATER ABRASIVE BLAST CLEANING Pressure = 6-8 bar Water consumption = 90-300 l/hour Cleaning speed = 10-16 m/hour, depending on material to be removed Result: a surface cleanliness and blasting profile as required can be obtained. LOW PRESSURE HUMIDIFIED ABRASIVE BLAST CLEANING Pressure = 6-8 bar Water consumption = 5-60 l/hour Cleaning speed = 10-16 m/hour, depending on material to be removed Result: a surface cleanliness and blasting profile as required can be obtained. ULTRA HIGH PRESSURE WATER JETTING (UHPWJ) Pressure - more than 1700 bar Use: Complete removal of all coatings and rust. The result can be compared with dry abrasive blast cleaning, but with flash rust after drying. The original blasting profile will be maintained. HIGH PRESSURE WATER JETTING (HPWJ) Pressure - from 700 to 1700 bar Use: Most paints and corrosion products will be removed, Magnetite and hard tightly adherent coating may be left but can be removed with difficulty. The original blasting profile will be maintained.

Mainly washing of surface HIGH PRESSURE WATER CLEANING (HPWC) Pressure - from 350 to 700 bar Use: Loose paint, rust, debris and material in pits will be removed, but black iron oxide (Magnetite) will remain. A uniform matte finish cannot be achieved. STEAM CLEANING Pressure = 100-120 bar Use: Removal of water soluble or water emulsified contamination; the substrate dries quicker compared to a water rinsed substrate.

ISO STANDARDS

When specifying a precise degree of de-rusting and cleaning of a steel surface prior to painting, PPG PMC uses the ISO standard ISO 8501-1-1988 and ISO 8504-1992. This indicates the following rust grades: A = steel surface largely covered with adherent mill scale but little, if any, rust. B = steel surface which has begun to rust and from which the mill scale has begun to flake. C = steel surface on which the mill scale has rusted away or from which it can be scraped, but with slight pitting visible when viewed normally. D = steel surface on which the mill scale has rusted away and on which general pitting is visible when viewed normally.

When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt, and from poorly adhering mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter. When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt and from most of the mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter. Any residual contamination shall be firmly adhering. When viewed without magnification, the surface shall be free from visible oil, grease and dirt and from mill scale, rust, paint coatings and foreign matter. Any remaining traces of contamination shall show only as slight stains in the form of spots or stripes.

Degree of cleanliness

The ISO and the Japanese Standards give a visual impression of the quality of the derusted steel. However, chemical contamination like water soluble salts etc. are not visible and remains partly on the surface. Presence of excessive amounts of water soluble salts can cause blistering of the coating by osmosis. Water soluble salts in mineral abrasives. For tankcoatings the maximum value of water soluble salts in mineral abrasives is 250 S/cm (conductivity) (ISO 11127-6 1993). See further sheet 1491 Water soluble salts on the steel surface (ISO 8502-9 1998). Our maximum acceptable levels of water soluble salts, calculated as mixed salts, on treated substrate prior to coating application depends on the area and expected service conditions. mixed salts Cargo tanks Immersed areas Dry cargo holds 50 mg/m 80 mg/m 100 mg/m conductivity (V=15 ml) (10.0 S/cm) (16.0 S/cm) (20.0 S/cm)

Note

Determination of water soluble salts: see information sheet 1468 For water ballast tank areas to be treated in accordance with IMO resolution MSC 215(82) and cargo tank areas of Crude Oil tanks to be treated in accordance with IMO resolution MSC 288(87): water soluble salts limit equivalent to sodium chloride after blasting/grinding must be equal to or lower than 50 mg/m of sodium chloride. For areas exposed to atmosphere conditions; We recommend the limit per dry cargo holds as noted in the table. Prior to treatment the substrate should be High Pressure Washed with Fresh (clean) water. As a guidance we recommend that the conductivity of abrasives prior to treatment should not be higher than 250 S/cm.

June 2013 revision of June 2007

This specification covers mineral abrasives such as corundum, aluminium silicate slag, or any slag mixtures which are suitable for removing rust, scale, old paint or shop primer from steel by blast cleaning and giving a satisfactory anchor pattern. This specification covers only those abrasives commonly known as utility grades. REQUIREMENTS Material The abrasive may be any material meeting the requirements of this specification. It shall be composed of clean, sound, hard particles free from foreign substances such as dirt, oil, grease, toxic substances, organic matter and water soluble salts. The abrasive supplier shall certify that any product to be delivered conforms to all requirements stated herein. pH 100 gram of a representative abrasive sample is crushed using a mortar and pestle. Approximately 50 grams of the crushed sample is added to 200 ml de-ionized water. The pH of this slurry is then determined through the use of an electronic pH meter with an accuracy of 0.01 pH unit. A slurry mixture prepared in this way shall not have a pH below 6.20. Water Soluble Salts (ISO 11127-6 1993) The abrasive is mixed with de-ionized water, conductivity max. 1 S/cm, in the proportion 1:1, e.g. 100 g abrasive to 100 cm water. The mixture is shaken for 5 minutes, allowed to settle for at least 1 hour and then shaken again for 5 minutes. Some of the water is decanted, the temperature is recorded and the conductivity measured by a conductivity gauge. If the conductivity gauge does not have any temperature compensation adjustment, the conductivity should be converted to 20C or measurement should be carried out at this temperature. If the conductivity exceeds 250 S/cm the abrasive is rejected. If the abrasive is to be used for High Pressure Wet Abrasive Blastcleaning the total amount of water soluble matter should be below 0,5% by weight. Moisture Content Approximately 200 grams of abrasive shall be weighed to the nearest 0.1 g in a tared weighing dish and dried at 105 to 110C for 3 hours or more until successive weighings after additional 1 hour heating periods show a weight change of not more than 0.1%. The percentage of moisture is calculated as follows: percent moisture = original weight - final weight x 100 original weight of sample The moisture content for material deliverd in bags or in bulk shall not exceed 0.5% by weight. Oil and Grease The abrasive shall not be contaminated with oil and grease. 10 cm abrasive is shaken with 10 cm methylene chloride for about 5 minutes. 5 drops of the solvent are applied to a clean glass plate. After complete evaporation of the solvent the glass plate is exposed to ultraviolet light in total darkness. If there is blue fluorescence the abrasive is rejected.

Hardness Examine the abrasive material under a low-power microscope (10 x) and, if grains of different colour or character are present, select a few grains of each. Separately place the grains thus differentiated between two glass microscope slides. While applying pressure, slowly move one slide over the other with a reciprocating motion for 10 seconds. Examine the glass surface and, if scratched, the material shall be considered as having a minimum hardness of 6 on Mohs scale. If any grains that fail to scratch glass are present, in any appreciable quantity, the total batch is rejected. Grain Shape The individual abrasive grains shall be angular in shape. Surface Profile The abrasive material shall produce a prescribed blasting profile Rz value (varying between 30-100 m)
Limitation of Liability - IN NO EVENT WILL PPG BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF RECOVERY (WHETHER BASED ON NEGLIGENCE OF ANY KIND, STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT) FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, ARISING FROM, OR RESULTING FROM ANY USE MADE OF THE PRODUCT.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY - SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE AIR TEMPERATURE

a four page issue

June 2013 revision of 10-1999

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN (VENTILATION) AIR-TEMPERATURE, SUBSTRATE TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY To achieve optimum results in coating work it is essential to ensure that no condensation occurs on the substrate or in-between coats during the painting process. Air at a given temperature can only contain a certain (maximum) amount of water vapour. This amount is lower at lower temperatures. The maximum water content of air at different temperatures is given in the next table: Degrees Centigrade 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 Maximum water content g/m 4,8 6,8 9,5 12,8 17,3 23,0 30,4 39,6 51,1 65,0

From these figures the relationship between dew point, air temperature and relative humidity can be calculated. This relationship is given in the next table: Relation between dew point, air temperature and relative humidity Air Temperature C 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Dew point in C at a relative humidity of: 50% 4.1 3.2 2.4 1.6 0.8 0.1 1.0 1.9 2.8 3.7 4.7 55% 2.9 2.1 1.3 0.4 0.4 1.3 2.3 3.2 4.2 5.1 6.1 60% 1.8 1.0 0.2 0.8 1.7 2.6 3.5 4.5 5.4 6.4 7.3 65% 0.9 0.1 0.8 1.8 2.7 3.7 4.6 5.6 6.6 7.5 8.5 70% 0.0 0.9 1.8 2.8 3.8 4.7 5.6 6.6 7.6 8.6 9.5 75% 0.9 1.8 2.8 3.8 4.7 5.7 6.7 7.7 8.6 9.6 10.6 80% 1.8 2.8 3.7 4.7 5.7 6.7 7.6 8.6 9.6 10.6 11.5 85% 2.7 3.7 4.6 5.6 6.6 7.6 8.6 9.6 10.6 11.5 12.5 90% 3.6 4.5 5.5 6.5 7.5 8.4 9.4 10.4 11.4 12.4 13.4

Using these figures curves can be drawn which give the relationship between air temperature, relative humidity and dew point. (See graph). To allow a sensible safety margin normally the substrate temperature must be at least 3 degrees centigrade above the dew point. The dew point is the temperature of a given air-water vapour mixture at which condensation starts, since at that temperature the maximum water content of the air is reached. Many important conclusions can be drawn from the graph, e.g.: at a relative humidity of 85% the lowest acceptable substrate temperature is approximately equal to the temperature of the (ventilation) air. For this reason outdoor paintwork must normally be carried out at a relative humidity below 85%. at a relative humidity of 90% the difference in temperature between substrate and dew point will be only 2C, which means that the safety margin is narrowed. This can be overcome by raising the substrate temperature by approx. 1C. at a relative humidity of 70% the relationship between the acceptable substrate temperature and the temperature of the (ventilation) air is given by the following table: air temperature C dew point C lowest acceptable substrate temperature C 5 0,0 3,0 10 4,7 7,7 20 14,4 17,4 30 23,9 26,9

Although the substrate temperatures given in this table are well below the temperature of the surrounding air no condensation will occur under the stated prevailing conditions. if the lowest acceptable substrate temperature is for example 5C and the temperature of the atmosphere is also 5C than the ventilation air can be heated and relative humidity will then be reduced according to the following table: air temperature C relative humidity % 5 85 10 60 20 32 30 18 40 11

In general reduction in temperature leads to risk of condensation. For instance steel cooled down during the night will often show condensation and this will not evaporate until the steel is heated up again by sunlight or other means.
