Work Instruction (WI) for Blasting & Painting

(CCM Equipments)
1.0 After fabrication all temporary cleats and lugs attachments should be removed and area
under them should be ground smooth.

2.0 All the surfaces to be painted should be cleaned with turpentine / GP thinner to remove
oil, grease, dirt, and dust.

3.0 SURFACE PREPARATION :

3.1 Weld spatter shall be removed, and sharp or rough welds rounded and contoured. Sharp
edges shall be rounded or chamfered.

3.2 Surface to be coated shall be free of all grease, oil, loose rust, and loose mill scale. Oil
and grease shall be removed by solvent cleaning method (turpentine / GP thinner) only.

3.3.1 Rust, mill scale, weld spatter, flux, and shall be removed by abrasive blasting with the
cleaned surface conforming to Sa 2.5 quality of Swedish Specification.

3.3.2 The surface profile depth of 50-80 micron shall be achieved by using a medium that
has good angularity of form, sharp cutting edges and is substantially free from “half rounds”.

3.3.3 Abrasive used should be preferably chilled CI grits/Shots with good angularity.

3.3.4 Surface prepared for Primer coating shall be coated within 3 hours on or before any
visible rusting occurs (Atmospheric conditions), whichever is earlier, failing which the surface
should be re-blasted.

Sand / Shot Blasting Testing :

The Sand / shot – blasted surface shall be visually checked for proper cleaning to Near White
Metal quality with Surface Comparator gauge Or Surface Profile gauge.

4.0 PRIMER PAINT :

4.1 The Sand/Shot blasted surface should be coated with Two coat of Zinc Chromate primer
by Airless / Conventional spray gun to give minimum 25-30 micron DFT per Coat as per Point
no. 3.3.4.

4.2 Thinner will be normally added in a proportion as recommended in the product data
sheet / Technical data sheet as attached.

5.0 FINISH PAINT (TOP COAT):

5.1 Two coats of finish paint will be applied over the primer coat by Airless / Conventional
spray gun method to achieve minimum 25-30 micron DFT per Coat.

5.2 Ensure the Primer painted surface to be sanded by 400-600 no. sand paper to prepare
smooth surface before finish / top coat to achieve good finish.

5.3 Thinner will be normally added in a proportion as recommended in the product data
sheet / Technical data sheet as attached.

6.0 APPLICATION:

6.1 Primer and Paint will be applied by Airless Or Conventional spray gun. The air pressure
to the gun will be kept as low as possible to avoid dry spray. The gun will be held at 25 to 30
cms from the surface & a wet coat will be applied with 50% overlap. Do not apply paint when
temperature falls below 10⁰C or rises above 50⁰ C and when relative humidity rises above 90%.

6.2 Ensure the Stripe coating at sharp corners / edges , Welded area shall be carried out
before start of Primer paint as well as for Top coat application.

6.3 All painting (Primer & Top coat) should be carried out by Spray Painting method
only.

7.0 DRYING:

7.1 Primer and Paint each coat of paint shall be allowed to dry as recommended data sheet.

8.0 COATING SYSTEM:

Coating system is as listed below.
