This Specification presents the minimum requirements for the painting of all FLSmidth proprietary
equipment and machinery.

Painting of FLSmidth proprietary machinery is done according to the FLSmidth painting instructions. This
document describes the surface preparation, prime coating, finish coating or protective coatings for
FLSmidth proprietary machinery.

1. PROCEDURE FOR PAINTING OF EQUIPMENT

SURFACE PREPARATION FOR PAINTING

Before painting works commence it shall be ensured that the steel structure or machine is fit for painting.

The preparation of surfaces must be done in the following order.

Removal of Oil and grease

Oil and grease shall be removed using a degreasing solvent or suitable emulsifier as recommended by
paint manufacturers and it must be washed with water.

Blasting

The surface to be painted must be blasted to Sa2½ according to ISO 8501-1. Blast cleaned surface
shall be ensured with surface comparator to confirm the surface roughness.

Wire brush cleaning

If blast cleaning is not practical then mechanical wire brush cleaning or power tool cleaning to ST – 2
(ISO 8501 – 1) instead of blasting is also acceptable. The mill scales, weld spatter and rust must be
cleaned and the surface must be dry before the application of paint.

PAINTING

Paint may be applied by spraying or brushing. Good penetration of the paint on rough surfaces
must be ensured.

Primer should be applied within two hours from blasting / wire brush cleaning.

The time interval between the application of primer and top coat should be a minimum of 8 hours.

Do not apply paint when temperature falls below 10° C or rises above 50° C and when relative
humidity rises above 85%. Do not apply paint during rain, fog or mist.

Painting shall not be carried out near blast cleaning area to avoid contamination and deposition of
foreign particles during painting operation.

In the case of stitch welding zone proper care to be taken for paint application. These zones shall be
painted by weldable primer. Intricate areas which cannot be accessed after fabrication should be applied
with weldable primer before fabrication.

Internal surfaces

All the internal surfaces shall be applied with one coat of Urethanalkyd primer as specified in Table 1
having Dry film thickness of 30 – 45 microns.

External surfaces

All the external surfaces shall be applied with one coat of Urethanalkyd primer having Dry film thickness
of 30 – 45 microns and one coat of Alkyd finish paint as specified in Table 2 having Dry film thickness of
25 – 35 microns.

Make and Grades of Paint

The commonly available make and grades of industrial paints are mentioned in Table 3. Other makes
like Berger, Gerlac, Sigma, Akzo Nobel etc. which conforms to FLS painting specifications can be used.

The equipments mentioned in Table 4 must be painted with oil resistant paint on the Internal Surface
only.

SURFACE PREPARATION FOR PAINTING

Before painting works commence it shall be ensured that the steel structure or machine is fit for painting.
The preparation of surfaces must be done in the following order.

Removal of Oil and grease

Oil and grease shall be removed using a degreasing solvent or suitable emulsifier and water as
recommended by paint manufacturers.

Blasting

The surface to be painted must be blasted to Sa2½ according to ISO 8501-1. Blast cleaned surface
shall be ensured with surface comparator to confirm the surface roughness. Wire brush cleaning is not
acceptable for Internal Surfaces as Oil resistant paint will not adhere properly to the surface.
Wire brush cleaning is permitted only for the External Surfaces.

PAINTING

It is recommended to apply Oil resistant Paint by spraying to obtain uniform finish. Applying paint
with Rollers and brush is also acceptable. Good penetration of the paint on rough surfaces must
be ensured.

Internal surfaces

All the internal surfaces shall be applied with two coats of Oil resistant paint having total dry film
thickness of 60 - 70 microns. Any of the Oil resistant paint as mentioned in Table 5 can be used.

External surfaces

Surface preparation and painting of external surfaces shall be similar to the painting procedure to
be followed for other equipment.

3. RUST PREVENTIVE COATING ON MACHINED SURFACES

All the machined surfaces must be protected from rust formation. Any of the rust preventive oil
mentioned in Table 6 can be used for rust protection of machined surfaces and bolt threads.

5. GENERAL NOTES

 Parts in stainless and corrosion resistant steel should not be painted. Acid cleaning or pickling
shall be done for all the stainless steel parts. Weld and surrounding Heat Affected Zone shall be
cleaned by Stainless Steel wire brushing.

 Surfaces (e.g. Base plates, foundation bolts, mill base / housing (bottom portion)) to be
embedded in concrete which is mentioned as “No painting to be done” in the drawings shall be
painted with primer or rust preventive oil shall be applied for corrosion protection.

 This painting specification shall be followed for equipments which have service
temperature upto 120° C and also for the equipments which have service temperature

 Finish painting shall not be done for all the insulated equipment.

 All the gratings shall be either galvanized or applied with primer. Only one type has to be
