5.1 Surface Preparation

The compressed air supply shall be free of oil, moisture and
contamination.
In preparing any surface to be coated, all loose paint, dirt, grease, rust,
scale, weld slag or any other extraneous material shall be removed,
and defects repaired, so as to obtain a clean, dry, even surface to
receive the priming or finishing coats as called for in the painting
requirements. Sharp or rough welds shall be rounded and contoured.
When required, solvent cleaning shall be carried out in accordance
with SSPC-SP1.
Used abrasive shall be removed from cleaned surface by dry brushing
and blowing down with clean, dry compressed air.
Abrasive shall be kept dry and clean.
It shall ensure the specified cleanliness and surface profile.
5.2 Preparation for Coating
Coatings and thinners shall be stored in well-ventilated buildings at
storage temperatures as recommended in the manufacturer's data
sheet.
All paint spraying equipment, including mixers, shall be thoroughly
cleaned before mixing of new materials. All coating materials shall be
mixed and thoroughly stirred in accordance with the instructions of the
paint Manufacturer. Sufficient agitation to maintain good mixing shall
be applied until the product is used. If air is entrapped in the product
during mixing/stirring, sufficient time should be allowed for the air
bubbles to escape before application.
 Title: Surface Preparation & Coating Procedure (WO# P0371)
Procedure no.: P0371-SPCP-01 Issue: 02 Rev.: 01 Date: 08-06-23 Page 4 of 7

Only thinners specified by the paint Manufacturer shall be used.

All ingredients in any container shall be thoroughly mixed and shall be
agitated frequently during application to keep the solids in suspension.
Painting materials shall not be used beyond a shelf life specified by its
manufacturer.
Blasting and coating shall not be performed if one or more of the
following conditions exist unless the coating is specifically formulated
for the averted condition: -
o The air or substrate temperature is below 5 °C. Coatings shall not
be applied to surfaces exceeding a substrate temperature of 45 ºC.
or more than the temperature recommended by the paint
manufacturer.
o The substrate temperature is less than 3°c (5°f) above the dew
point
o Relative humidity% shall not exceed 85% unless otherwise
recommended by paint manufacturer.
o Adverse weather conditions exist such as, but not restricted to, the
following:
▪ Wind is strong enough to blow sand, salt spray, or other
foreign matter onto the surface being coated.
▪ Wind is strong enough to cause dry spray or to otherwise
seriously disturb the spray pattern when application is by
spray gun.
▪ Green/Red board will be placed at mixing area to give the
permission for Start/Hold the coating activities.

5.3 Painting application

Application of paint shall be by airless spray and the applicable nozzle
tips shall be as per the recommendation of paint manufacturer data
sheets for each coat.
Spraying is the required method of application with supply the required
range of spray tips, sizes and fan angles for the work being
undertaken. The spray pressure shall be uniform and the spray pattern
smooth.
 Title: Surface Preparation & Coating Procedure (WO# P0371)
Procedure no.: P0371-SPCP-01 Issue: 02 Rev.: 01 Date: 08-06-23 Page 5 of 7

Film thickness per coat shall not exceed specified coating system
requirements.
As many coats as necessary shall be applied to achieve the required
WFT & DFT for each layer. The interval between the applications of
two successive coats shall be within the Min/Max. interval
recommended by paint manufacturer. Care should be taken during
curing; material should not be exposed to condensing environment.
Between applied coats the minimum and maximum drying time and
temperature must be observed strictly in accordance with paint
manufacturer’s recommendations.
If the required film thickness cannot be achieved by airless spray on
the edges, in the corners or in areas of structure which are difficult to
access, these areas shall be coated by brush or roller.
Stripe coating shall be done by method of brush or roller.
5.4 Repair of Damages/Defects

Damaged areas, defects in the coating system such as over-runs,

drips and smears that have to be removed or areas with inadequate
dry film coating thickness shall be re-cleaned. The re-cleaning shall
carry over on to the secure coating for not less than 50 mm all round,
the edges of which shall be feathered.

After the surface cleaning the specified coating system shall be re-
applied. Any additional coats shall blend in with the final coating at
adjoining areas. Paint Manufacturers shall be consulted if the existing
coating requires abrading before over-coating to obtain good bonding.
For repairs of damage coating due to handling, welding, thermal
cutting, drawing revision and coating defects, the following shall be
implemented:
For the superficial coating damage:
Clean defective area by solvent detergent wash. Surfaces to be
repaired shall be cleaned by solvent cleaning and/or lightly brushed
ensuring that the surface is free of all contaminations prior to applying
the specified coats by Roller/Brush/Spray as needed.

 OA 5560 Permapox Epoxy Primer
Surface Preparation
STEEL - Blast in accordance with Sa 2½, ISO 8501-
1 or Steel Structures Painting Council SP-10. NOTE:
blast to achieve a 25 to 50 µm profile as determined
with Testex Tape or similar instrument. Remove
abrasive residues and dust from surface.
GALVANISED SURFACES - Remove any oil or soap
film with Neutral oil cleaner, treat surface by a lightly
blast with fine abrasive.
ALUMINUM SURFACES - Remove oil and grease
with Neutral oil cleaner. Lightly blast with fine
abrasive or apply chromate-type conversion
treatment, such as Alodine 1200, by Henkel..
CONCRETE
Surfaces must be cured, moisture of concrete should
be less than 6%, remove surface laitance by
appropriate means, de dust, dry and surface to be
free of any contamination, disintegrated particles or
chalky materials.
IMPORTANT - Apply primer as soon as possible
after surface preparation to prevent any
contamination. Do not leave blasted steel uncoated
overnight. In case of contamination remove
contaminants. Spot blast steel if needed.
Can be overcoated with itself.
Application Equipment
The following equipment is listed as a partial guide and
suitable equipment from other manufacturers may be
used. Adjustments of pressure and change of tip size
may be needed to achieve the proper spray
characteristics.
Application Data
Substrate ...................... Steel, HDG, concrete,
Aluminum
Application methods.... Airless Spray or Roller
Environmental Conditions (during application and drying)
a. Air and substrate temperature 4°c up to 40°c
b. Maximum environmental humidity 85°.
c. Concrete to be cured for min 28 days( Prior to painting)
• Depending on ambient temperature & surface conditions.
Surface temperature must be at least 3°C/5°F above dew
point to prevent moisture condensation on the surface.
Never apply coatings under adverse environmental
conditions. Ensure good ventilation when applied in
confined areas to assist evaporation and elimination of
solvents.
NOTE: drying times are dependent on air and surface
temperature, applied film thickness, ventilation, and other
environmental conditions. Times are proportionally shorter at
higher temperature and longer at lower temperatures. Prior to
recoating ensure the surface is clean.
Maximum recoating time intervals are dependent on
temperature, degree of weathering and service conditions
of the complete coating system. Consult your OAL
representative for specific recommendations.

AIRLESS SPRAY - Standard airless spray equipment,

with a 0.38 (0.015 inch) orifice or larger.

CONVENTIONAL SPRAY - Industrial equipment, having

separate air and fluid pressure regulators, mechanical
pot agitator and a moisture and oil trap in the main air
supply line are recommended.

BRUSH/ROLLER - Apply evenly, using a clean well-

loaded brush or roller. Ensure the coating is not brushed
or rolled-out too far. Application by brush or roller will
provide approx. 50 microns dft. in a single coat
application.

MIXER - Use power mixer powered by an air motor or

an explosion proof electric motor.

prevent moisture condensation on the surface. Never apply coatings
under adverse environmental conditions. Ensure good ventilation
when applied in confined areas to assist evaporation and elimination
of solvents.
NOTE: drying times are dependent on air and surface temperature,
applied film thickness, ventilation and other environmental conditions.
Times are proportionally shorter at higher temperature and longer at
lower temperatures. Prior to recoating ensure the surface is clean.
