grease and oils are present on the surface, the surfaces shall be further washed with biodegradable non-ionic
detergent solution until the surfaces are completely free of all surface contamination. There shall be no smudge
on the surface when rubbed with a clean cloth. Surfaces cleaned with detergent shall be thoroughly rinsed with
potable water to remove traces of detergent. Solvent Cleaning methods shall be as outlined in SSPC SP-1.
Under no circumstances, shall the substrate remain without a primer coat for more than 4 hours.
Welded areas shall be blast cleaned or ground to remove burrs, mill scale, weld spatter, flux, or protrusions.
Weld reinforcement shall not be removed and base metal shall not be ground below the surface. Surface profile
measurements for abrasive blast cleaned surfaces shall be made with a Keane Tator profile comparator, clemtec
anchor profile chips, Testex Press-O-Film or other Contractor accepted method suitable for abrasive being

edges shall be rounded, chamfered and broken. The surface profile depth shall be achieved by using a medium
that has good angularity of form, sharp cutting edges and is substantially free from “half rounds”.
Before applying any coating, blast cleaned surfaces shall be vacuumed and wiped with a clean cloth to remove
all traces of dust.
Cleaned surfaces shall be coated within eight hours and before occurrence of any trace of rust. If rust is
noticed, the surface shall be blast cleaned again. Where the item to be painted is large, it shall be cleaned and
primed in sections.
The maximum allowable level of water soluble salt contamination shall be 20mg/m2. Surfaces that do not meet
this criterion shall be reprocessed.
All surfaces shall be thoroughly degreased and washed in the manner stated for bare carbon steels above.
The washed surfaces shall be completely dry prior to further application of paint materials. Any additional
surface preparation, such as sanding, required by the coating manufacturer shall be followed prior to top-
coating.

should be deposited on the cloth. If contaminants are detected, the equipment deficiencies shall be corrected and the
air stream shall be retested. Cleaned surfaces determined to have been blasted since the last successful test shall be
degreased and re-blasted with clean air and abrasive. Primers and finishes determined to have been applied using
contaminated air shall be removed and recoated using clean air.
