APPLICATION SPECIFICATION SHEET

FIELD-APPLIED JOINT & FIELD REPAIRS

1.- Scope
1.1.- This specification covers the external/internal surface preparation and coating of pipeline applications such as: girth
welds/field joints, valves, repair areas and other parts as directed by the end user.

2.- Material and Storage

2.1.- Material shall be Chemline 1150 coating system as manufactured by Chemline, Inc, 5151 Natural Bridge Avenue, St. Louis,
MO 63115, Phone: (314) 664 2230. E-mail: [email protected]

2.2.- Material shall meet the physical properties of the attached product data sheet.

2.3.- Storage: Material shall be stored in a warm, dry place between 40°F (4°C) to 120°F (49°C).

Note: If the material is kept cold, it will become very viscous. Do not allow material to freeze.

3.- Equipment

3.1 For mixing, use strong wooden stir sticks or power drills with appropriate mixing paddle.

3.2 For application, use brushes or rollers.

3.3 Wet film thickness gauges.

4.- Surface Preparation

4.1 All contaminants shall be removed from the steel surface to be coated. Oil and grease should be removed in accordance with
SSPC SP-1 using non-oily solvent cleaner (i.e., xylene, MEK, ethanol, etc.)

4.2 Material for abrasive cleaning shall be the appropriate blend of grit to produce an angular surface profile of minimum 3.0+/-
0.5 mils. All surfaces to be coated shall be grit blasted to a near-white finish (SSPC SP-10, NACE No. 2 or Sa 2 1/2). In some
instances where abrasive blasting is not permissible, the surface can be prepared to a near-white finish using SSPC SP-11. The
key with this method is achieving the near white finish with a minimum 3.0+/-0.5 mil anchor profile. After cleaning, blow dry
and/or wipe clean with an isopropyl alcohol, xylene or MEK soaked lint-free cloth.

4.3 Edges of the existing coating shall be roughened by power brushing or by sweep blasting the coating for a distance of 2" (50
mm) minimum.

4.4 The Contractor shall check the surface profile depth by using a suitable surface profile gauge (Press-O-Film Gauge or equal).

4.5 Metal areas that develop flash rust due to exposure to rain or moisture shall be given a sweep blast to return them to their
originally blasted condition.

5.- Application
5.1 The surface shall have no condensation, precipitation or any other forms of contamination on the blasted surface prior to
coating.

5.2 The substrate temperature range for application of Chemline 1150 is 40°F (4°C) to 140°F (60°C). The substrate temperature
must be a minimum of 5°F (3°C) above the dew point temperature before proceeding with the coating operation. Ambient
temperature may be lower than 50°F (10°C) if the substrate is heated. Preheating may be accomplished with a propane torch
or induction coil prior to abrasive blasting.

5.3 Chemline 1150 shall be applied to the specified Dry Film Thickness (DFT) using a brush, applicator pad or roller. Wet film
measurements shall be performed to ensure close adherence to the thickness specification.

5.4 Mixing: Mix the contents of the POLYOL container marked "Part - A" to a uniform consistency before adding the ISO container
marked "Part B". Once container " Part A" is well mixed, pour entire contents of container marked "Part B" into container "Part
A" in such a way as to avoid spillage. Immediately mix both components, POLYOL "A" and ISO "B", with a cordless or electric
drill equipped with an appropriate mixing accessory. The mixing of components "A" and "B" shall be carried out in such a way
as to ensure that a uniform mixture has been achieved. This process requires the applicator to scrape the sides and bottom of
the container during the mixing process. The mixing process should not take less than 2 minutes.

5.5 APPLICATION SHALL TAKE PLACE IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING. Apply the product onto the surface and spread down and
around the surface in bands beginning from the leading edge of the material to as far under the pipe as can be reached. Overlap
the bands and onto the existing coating a minimum of 2" (50 mm). Applicators shall use a brush to smooth out any obvious sags
or rough edges, valleys, or drips. Special attention shall be given to weld buttons and bottom surfaces.

5.6 The thickness of Chemline 1150 shall be checked periodically by wet film gauge to achieve the minimum and maximum wet
film thickness specified. After the Chemline 1150 has cured, the owner’s representative and/or contractor’s inspector should
measure the film thickness by magnetic gauge and notify the applicator of their acceptance. Notification to the applicator of any
inadequately coated sections must be made immediately.

5.7 Over-coating, when necessary, shall take place within 24 hours at 100°F (37°C). If recoat window has lapsed, the surface
shall be roughed prior to application of the topcoat using 80 grit sand paper or by sweep blasting.

6.- Inspection/ Testing for Backfill

6.1 The finished coating shall be smooth and free of runs, sags and/or holidays. All surfaces shall have the required minimum/
maximum DFT. In general, the surface of the coating shall be no rougher than the base or substrate material.

6.2 After the Chemline 1150 has cured to a hard cure condition, the owner’s representative and/or contractor’s inspector should
measure the film thickness by magnetic gauge and notify the applicator of their acceptance.

6.3 For most applications, backfill can be accomplished when the coating reaches a Shore D of 60+/-5. Using a Shore D
Durometer, measure the hardness on an area of the coating that measures a minimum 30 mils DFT. Several measurements
should be taken at various locations circumferentially around the pipe to ensure sufficient cure.

6.4 Holiday detection shall be performed on all coated areas. Detection voltage should be based on specified nominal pipe coating
thickness and calculated in accordance with the NACE SP0188 Standard.

6.5 Chemline and/or the owner’s representative immediately upon completion of the work shall make final inspection of the
completed application. Notification of all defects must be made within a reasonable time frame from completion of the work to
allow for all repairs within the allowed time frame for the project.

6.6 Recoating: If a second coat is required and passes the cure test as described in section 6.3, the surfaces shall be roughened
by sweep blasting. If the coating is soft, no surface preparation is required.

7.- Field Repair of Polyurethane Coatings and Linings with Chemline 1150

7.1 Verification of Repair and Type of Repair.

7.1.1 A "high-voltage discontinuity test" shall be performed to assess the extent of damage. This test shall be in accordance with
NACE SP0188 "Discontinuity (Holiday) Testing of Protective Coatings."

7.1.2 Damage can be non-penetrating (within the film/surface damage) or penetrating (exposed steel, pinhole, etc.) and repair
method may vary.

7.2 Surface preparation by type of repair

7.2.1 Penetrating Damage

7.2.1.1 Any damage revealed to be penetrating by the high-voltage discontinuity test should be removed completely down to
substrate via grit blast or power tool immediately prior to repair material being applied.0

7.2.1.2. Grit Blast is the preferred method for internal lining repair as immersion service is the most severe condition for any
lining product. Exterior repairs can be grit blasted or power tool prepared. The adjacent area surrounding the repair shall be
brush blasted as well, removing all gloss and providing anchor pattern for overlap.

7.2.1.3. Steel Surface should be prepared to a Near White Metal Blast (SSPC-SP10, NACE 2): Minimum 3.0+/-0.5 mil sharp and
angular profile. Steel surface shall be clean, dry and contaminant free prior to application of repair material. This should be
completed immediately prior to repair material being applied.

7.2.2 Non-Penetrating Damage

7.2.2.1 Any lining damage revealed to be non-penetrating/ surface damage by the high-voltage discontinuity test shall be
vigorously abraded with coarse sandpaper. The immediate adjacent, sound overlap area shall be coarsely abraded as well
removing all gloss. This should be completed immediately prior to repair material being applied.
