Features

Surface preparation

• Remove all wax, oil and grease by solvent cleaning in accordance to guidelines given by SSPC-SP1.
• Dry brushing to remove soluble salts, dirt and dust.
• Freshwater jetting is required to remove all loose contaminants and soluble salt deposition.
• Remove scale by chipping, needle gun or spot blasting. Any loose or flaking coatings should be taken back to a firm edge.
• Mechanically clean the surface using hand or power tools to a minimum standard of St 2 (ISO 8501-1:1988) or SSPC-SP2 taking care to avoid polishing the surface. For optimum performance an abrasive blast to Sa 2 or SSPC SP-6 (commercial blast) is recommended with an average surface profile of 30 to 50 microns.
• Where necessary remove weld spatter and round off all rough weld seams and sharp edges to a smooth surface.

Application procedure
