PAINT AND PROTECTIVE COATINGS

4.3.5 Weld areas shall be ground, chipped or wire brushed as necessary prior
to blasting to remove rust, residual flux and weld spatter.

4.3.6 Steel surface slivers, laminations, laps, scabs or seams exposed by

blasting shall be reported to Company, investigated, and repaired by
Contractor using rules from the applicable code for repairs.

4.3.7 Prior to abrasive blasting, valves, sight glasses, name tags, machinery,
electrical fixtures, etc., subject to damage from either the blast or from
the abrasive material shall be protected.

4.3.8 Cadmium-plated, electroplated, metallized or other specially coated

items shall not be blasted unless otherwise directed by Company.

4.3.9 Blasting shall be accomplished so that previously painted surfaces are

not contaminated by abrasive or blast wastes.

4.3.10 Inhibitive washes intended to prevent rusting shall not be used after
blasting.

4.3.11 A minimum of 4 inches around the edge of blasted areas shall be left
unprimed unless adjoining a coated surface. Subsequent blasting shall
continue a minimum of 1 inch into the primed surfaces. These
requirements are to ensure that coating is not applied over unblasted
steel. The rough edge of the blasted coating shall be feather edged as
described in Section 4.3.12 below.

4.3.12 When the coating is damaged down to the steel, and spot cleaning is
necessary, these areas shall be cleaned by blasting or power tool
cleaning. After the metal surface has been cleaned, the edge of the
surrounding coating shall be feather-edged to remove all cracked, loose
or damaged coating. Feather-edging shall be accomplished by power or
hand sanding with a grit wheel or sandpaper. The prepared surface shall
be free of all loose, burnt, or blistered coating.
