2.4 – Temporary painting - for Converted Units, the surface preparation of remaining structures shall
be done by Hydro blasting to grade WJ2 from NACE SSPC-SP12 or DW3 from STG2222
(Schiffbautechnishe Gesellschaft e V, STG Guide).
2.5 - In case of retouching on damaged paintwork, the original scheme must be repeated. Whenever
is not possible to perform abrasive or hydro blasting, mechanical cleaning (St-3) shall be used, after
PETROBRAS’ approval. In this situation the repaired area must be painted with two coats of a
Surface Tolerant Solvent Free Epoxy Paint Cured with Polyamine, in minimum dry film
thickness of 150 micra per coat.
Regions welded after assembly shall follow the same as above whenever abrasive or hydro blasting is
not technically and economically advisable.
NOTE: This is not applicable to the EXTERNAL HULL, EXTERNAL DECKS, EXTERNAL
SUPERSTRUCTURE and PLATING, GIRDERS AND STIFFENERS INSIDE SEA-CHESTS and
BALLAST TANKS. In these regions the damaged areas must be reblasted to ISO 8501-1 Sa 2 ½ or
WJ2 from NACE SSPC-SP12 or yet DW3 from STG2222 (Schiffbautechnishe Gesellschaft e V, STG
Guide), and recoated with specified system.
2.6 - The time interval to apply any paint on a coat previously applied must be that required for the
preceding coat for repainting. For painting schemes in which provision is made for epoxy primer
coats, if the maximum time period has elapsed, the entire surface must be hand-sanded and then
cleaned off with a non-oil solvent before the next coat is applied.
2.7 - Before preparing the surface to be painted, a visual inspection of the entire surface shall be done
to note points displaying vestiges of oil, grease or fat and the degree of corrosion affecting the
surface (A, B, C or D, in accordance with Standard ISO 8501-1).
2.8 - For any of the painting schemes stipulated in this specification, it is required that the surface to
be painted is solvent cleaned only in those areas in which, during inspection, vestiges of oil, grease or
fat are observed to be present.
2.9 - Points where paints, varnishes, solvents and diluents are stored must be roofed over, well aired,
not exposed to excessive heat, protected against spark, atmospheric discharges and the direct rays of
the sun.

2.14 - Abrasive or hydro blasting in the vicinity of a “recently” painted surface must be performed
only when the paint is dry to the touch.
2.15 - The whole of the respective paint or component must be homogenized in its recipients before
and during mixing and, in the course of application, must be stirred at frequent intervals so as to keep
the pigment in suspension.
2.16 - Homogenization must be effected in the original recipient and paint must not be withdrawn
from it until the entire settled pigment has been incorporated into the vehicle. If there is any difficulty
in dispersing the pigment that has settled, the paint must not be used.
2.17 - The mixing and homogenization must be performed according following procedure:
a) Recipients with capacity up to 18 liters - mixing and homogenization shall be done manually.
b) Recipients with capacity greater than 18 liters - mixing and homogenization shall be done by
mechanical mixers.
2.18 - Mixing operations on open recipients must be effected in a well-ventilated place, far away
from sparks or flames.
2.19 - Use of a stream of air applied to the surface of the paint so as to mix or homogenize it is not
allowable in any circumstances.
2.20 - If a coating or thickened layer has formed in a newly opened can, the paint must be rejected.
2.21 - When homogenization is done manually, most of the vehicle must be poured off into a clean
recipient and the material must then be loosened up from the bottom of the recipient by means of a
broad spatula, after which the pigment is to be homogenized with the vehicle.
2.22 - The portion of vehicle that was withdrawn must then be reincorporated into the paint while
stirring or while repeatedly pouring from one recipient to the other until the composition becomes
uniform.
2.23 - The bottom of the recipient must be examined to check whether or not the whole of the
pigment adhering to the bottom was homogenized with the paint.
2.24 - Paints with two or more components must have the latter homogenized separately and then re-
mixed in precise agreement with the methods and in the exact proportions recommended by the
manufactures.
2.25 - The homogenization and mixing must be complete, and there must be no veins or stripes of
different colors, so that the final appearance is uniform.
2.26 - Mixing, homogenization and dilution must be effected only at time of application.
2.27 - No paint must be left from one day to the next in the tanks of the spray guns and the painter’s
cans. Only single component paints may be re-used. In that case the leftover, paint must be
transferred to a recipient that is closed up, and must be mixed and/or homogenized again before it is
re-used.
