Application Guide Tankguard 412: Abrasive Blast Cleaning

This document provides guidance on surface preparation for applying Tankguard 412 coating. It specifies that all metal edges should be rounded and pitted surfaces can be filled. The surface must be abrasive blast cleaned to Sa 21⁄2 and have a 50-100 μm surface profile. The abrasive media used must be dry, clean, and free of contaminants. Compressed air supplies must also be dry and free of oil and water. Once abrasively blasted, the surface must be vacuumed cleaned to remove residues and have a dust size no greater than class 2. Similar preparation is specified for galvanized steel and stainless steel, using non-metallic abrasives to create the required surface profile.

Application Guide

Tankguard 412

Metal finishing

All edges shall have a rounded radius of minimum 2 mm, or subjected to three pass grinding or equally effective
method.

Pitting repair

Pittings in steel can be difficult to cover fully with most coatings. In some areas it is practically feasible to use
filler to fill pittings. This should then be done either after the initial surface preparation or after application of
first coat.

Abrasive blast cleaning

Cleanliness

After pre-treatment is complete, the surface shall be dry abrasive blast cleaned to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1) using
abrasive media suitable to achieve a sharp and angular surface profile.

Surface profile

Recommended surface profile 50-100 µm, grade Medium to Coarse G (ISO 8503-2). Measure the achieved
profile with surface replication tape (Testex) to ISO 8503-5 or by a surface roughness stylus instrument (ISO
8503-4).

Abrasive media quality

The mineral abrasive may be of any material that meets the specified requirements. It shall be composed of
clean, sound, hard particles free from foreign substances such as dirt, oil, grease, toxic substances, paint,
organic matter and water soluble salts. (According to ISO 11125 and ISO 11126).
The moisture content for material delivered shall not exceed 0.5% (by weight) and the conductivity when tested
according to ISO 11127-7 shall not exceed 250 µS/cm.

Compressed air quality

The supply of clean air to blasting pots must be secured to avoid contamination of abrasive and thereby of blast
cleaned surfaces. Compressors must be fitted with sufficient traps for oil and water. It is also recommended to fit
two water separators at the blasting machine to ensure a supply of moisture-free air to the abrasive chamber.

Dust contamination

On completion of abrasive blasting, the prepared surface shall be vacuum cleaned to remove residues of
corrosion products and abrasive media, and inspected for particulate contamination.
Maximum dust quantity rating 1 (ISO 8502-3). Dust size no greater than class 2. Continue cleaning until testing
shows the required result.

Galvanised steel

Abrasive blast cleaning

The surface to be coated shall be dry abrasive blast cleaned as required for the specified surface profile using
approved non-metallic abrasive media which is suitable to achieve a sharp and angular surface profile. As a
guide, a surface profile corresponding to 25-55 µm, grade Fine G; Ry5 (ISO 8503-2) should be achieved.

Stainless steel

Abrasive blast cleaning

The surface to be coated shall be dry abrasive blast cleaned as required for the specified surface profile using
non-metallic abrasive media which is suitable to achieve a sharp and angular surface profile. As a guide, a
surface profile corresponding to 25-55 µm, grade Fine G; Ry5 (ISO 8503-2) should be achieved.

Chlorinated or chlorine containing solvents or detergents must not be used on stainless steel.
