If the adhesion is weak. creating a surface to which a coating can properly adhere subsequently. surface preparation. Introduction The cleaning and surface preparation of a substrate should not be considered as a separate matter but as an integral part of the coating system. Painters of all types. correct surface preparation is essential to the long life and effectiveness of a coating system. will expose the maximum number of reactive sites on the surface for a coating to adhere to. dirt. in an ideal world. grease. to increase the surface area of the substrate by increasing the roughness and anchor pattern of the surface.e. studies have shown it to be the most important part of a good coating project. impact. moisture. professional or the man at home painting his kitchen. a surface would be completely clean. sunlight. consistently. Both these objectives. have in general a common weakness: they tend to neglect the most important ingredient of a coating project. etc. from a substrate so that the coating can adhere to the surface. to remove the loose material such as scale. there are coatings available which are better able to cope with certain amounts of substrate contamination. abrasion.g. This time-consuming and expensive exercise does not appear to be as productive as paint application and is often paid the least attention. Surface Preparation 1. The objective of surface preparation is to clean the substrate. if achieved. strong adhesion is the key to good coating performance. and secondly. the coating system will consequently fail owing to the many environmental conditions that affect the performance of a coating e. When considering the surface preparation and coating system the service conditions and required performance requirements should be assessed along with the most economical methods of achieving the required result. As mentioned earlier. but as this is not always economically or logistically possible. It is often presumed that. There are two main objectives to surface preparation : firstly. etc. corrosive chemicals. oxide films. If a coating is applied to a contaminated surface that has not been cleaned then the adhesion of the coating system to the surface can only be as good as the adhesion of the contamination to the surface or the adhesion of the coating to the contamination. prior to painting. flexibility. temperature and texture. chemical reactivity. Types of Substrates There are many types of substrates to which coatings are applied. The various factors which play a significant role in influencing the performance of a coating system applied to a substrate include the shape. We will cover the methods of surface preparation for some of the more common of these substrates in the section Methods of Surface Preparation. Protective Coating 5 . each of which have their own characteristics and therefore different requirements as far as surface preparation and coating systems are concerned. Typical examples of the types of substrates to which coatings are applied are: ■■ Metal ■■ Timber (Wood) ■■ Plastic ■■ Masonry (Concrete) ■■ Tiles ■■ Roads ■■ Paper ■■ Fabrics ■■ Leather etc. dryness. absorbency.PROTECTIVE COATING 2. dirt. Therefore it is essential that these are completely removed. This is basically divided into two-one for fresh water and one for seawater. This leads to subsequent corrosion of the steel itself. it is essential that the moisture of the substrate be checked prior to painting. Mill Scale Mill scale forms on hot rolled steel as by-product of the production process and sits on the surface of the steel. Most coatings cannot easily displace oil or grease and thereby wet the substrate. Moisture Moisture can be present on the surface of the substrate (as is often the case with metals) or in the substrate (as with timber. Protective Coating 6 . For metal surfaces. Removal by solvent swabbing is common. it is essential that the surface is completely dry prior to painting (except when using specially formulated moisture tolerant coatings such as Epilux 161) as the moisture present on the surface will lead to premature coating breakdown and subsequent corrosion of the substrate. For an «oily timber» it is also essential that the surface is free from oil prior to painting. plaster and concrete substrates. especially timber which has been exposed to the rain during storage or use. dust. Removal of these salts is difficult but essential if premature failure is to be avoided (especially the salts that form in the «pits» in the surface). plaster and concrete). it can crack as the steel cools. Surface Contaminants There are many different types of surface contamination which affect the adhesion of a coating to a substrate. Mill scale is quite brittle and because its thermal expansion is different to that of steel. Modern instrumentation is becoming available that can quantitatively determine soluble salts on the substrate and thus improve the likelihood of their detection and subsequent removal. The moisture content should be checked using a protimeter and a check made with the coating supplier to ensure that the moisture content is low enough. they can impair the adhesion of the coating system and lead to premature failure. Soluble Salts Soluble salts are commonly encountered on steel that has been allowed to rust in a polluted atmosphere. This will also probably contain a whole «cocktail» of the previously mentioned soluble salts.PROTECTIVE COATING 3. Mill scale must be completely removed prior to painting. The same is true for timber. such as in an oil refinery. Marine Growth Marine growth is a phase used to describe the various types of plants and animals that live in waters. oil. typically 50 microns or more. especially in a marine or heavy industrial environment. leaving access points for oxygen and moisture. and must therefore be completely removed prior to painting. For timber. Oil and Grease Oil and grease are common materials used in industry and are often deposited on the surface of a substrate. Corrosion Products This is usually in the form of rust and scale on the surface caused by the substrate corroding. which is one of the prime ingredients of corrosion. This is again achieved by solvent washing with a particularly fast evaporating absorbent solvent. Light shapes of formed steel tend to have a thin layer of mill scale whereas heavy plate tends to have a thicker layer. Even if they are present in trace quantities. The difficulty with soluble salt contamination is that it cannot be detected by the naked eye and thus a surface that appears to be clean can quite easily be contaminated with soluble salts. Please contact your local Berger office for more details. etc. Soluble salts play an important part in the mechanism of corrosion as in the presence of moisture they form an electrolyte solution. however it is essential that the deposits are removed and not simply spread over the surface.

Its primary advantages are that the material (water) is relatively cheap and that it does not produce a spark or dust which is particularly useful in the oil and gas industries. tightly adherent mill scale cannot be removed by flame cleaning only and it is often a requirement that a form of power tool cleaning should follow to remove the remaining contaminants. Nowadays. It is performed by wiping or washing a surface with proprietary solvents. d. This technique. usually acid. However great care is required to ensure that the end result is the removal of oil and grease from the surface and not simply spreading the contamination. then power wire brushing simply spreads the contamination over the surface rather than removes it. The size of the steel to be cleaned is also limited by the size of the pickling bath. The main disadvantage of this method of cleaning is the need to change the sanding disc. High Pressure Water Jetting High pressure water jet cleaning involves using water at very high pressure (1. While this often provides a clean surface for the subsequent application of coatings. This method will not result in the complete removal of the surface contaminants and many of these will remain in any pits in the surface. involves high labour cost. the major drawback with this method is that the steel surface is not particularly rough and the surface profile is less than that achieved by abrasive blast cleaning. dirt. Commonly used tools are knives.PROTECTIVE COATING • P  ower Sanding consists of a rotary disc that has attached to it a heavy duty’s and paper or sometimes consisting of a solid carborundum disc. This process should be preceded by cleaning the steel to remove material that prevents the pickling solution from cleaning the surface. For a satisfactory level of degreasing to be achieved the cleaning solvent and cloths need to be changed frequently. grease. scrapers and chisels. If oil or grease are present on the surface and not removed by degreasing. sometimes known as water blasting is a much faster method of surface cleaning than power tool cleaning. sanding.

Flame Cleaning This is a method to prepare uncoated new steel by applying a high temperature flame (typically oxy-acetylene) to a surface in order to expand rust or mill scale and cause it to delaminate from the cooler metal surface leaving a warm dry surface on which a coating can be applied to before the surface cools. especially at the end of a shift. sanding blocks. It also removes water vapour present on the surface. g. This is a rotary wire brush and is the least effective power tool method of preparing a surface as in many cases operator ends up simply polishing the surface of the rust or scale.000-35. Hand Tool Cleaning This method of surface preparation removes loose mill scale. Protective Coating 8 . and the operator’s effectiveness can be reduced. It involves the removal of rust. It grinds the surface to remove the surface contaminants and can cut the metal so as to increase the surface area thus providing the necessary «key» for subsequent coating adhesion. owing to tiredness. Thus the areas that have not been properly degreased can be located and re-cleaned. Surface cleanliness is usually confined to the complete removal of oil. Galvanised Metals Many paint systems fail when applied to galvanised steel. Brass & Bronze The surface should be degreased and lightly abraded using power tools or sweep blasting at reduced pressures prior to the application of paint. Adequate surface preparation is essential for these metals so as to ensure adhesion of the paint system. the acidic solution cannot react with the zinc and thus remain brightly metallic in color. The aluminium oxide is an expensive abrasive though it has been known to be recyclable. Zinc. Copper. Copper. To ensure good adhesion of any coating system. Because stainless steel is such an inert surface. Normally stainless steel would not be coated but in certain instances (such as pipeline identification or areas or chloride attack) it is necessary to coat the stainless steel. Protective Coating 9 . where there are areas of breakdown. aviation and shipping industries. A «wash primer» should then be applied after a freshwater wash to remove the residual mordant solution. chalking. blast cleaning is the most effective method of surface preparation. contact your local Berger representative for advice. a spot repair or complete repair may be needed and one of the previously described methods should be employed. a light abrasion using sandpaper will enhance the subsequent adhesion of the coating system applied. careful surface preparation is required. Previously painted surfaces The age and composition of an existing coating on a substrate can have considerable bearing on how a freshly applied system will perform. dirt and grease by degreasing prior to priming with a specially formulated coating. a. usually because of the absence of a correct primer or insufficient surface preparation. It is therefore always prudent to coat a metal sprayed object. Before coating. A suitable primer would be an etch primer. Aluminium. With both new and aged galvanising. Failure to degrease and wash this surface properly will lead to premature coating failure. Metal Spray Substrates A metal spray substrate can be quite porous and it is essential that the dirt and salts that can form in the bottom of the pores are thoroughly removed before any coating is applied. However. It creates a surface profile essential for keying the primer and subsequent paint system. Galvanised steel etc. c. usually in the form of blistering or de-lamination. Aluminium.PROTECTIVE COATING Stainless Steel The surface preparation of stainless steel prior to painting is extremely important. If in doubt. The mordant solution also etches the surface. The primer must also be zinc free to prevent the galvanic corrosion of stainless steel. where oil/grease is still present on the surface. However. This acidic copper solution reacts with the galvanised steel and turns it black. the abrasive must be aluminium oxide and not steel shot nor expendable copper slags nor any other forms of metallic abrasive as these can cause individual spot corrosion on the surface because of the galvanic cells that would be formed by blasting with such an abrasive. adhesion and/or other defects. Non ferrous metals There are a number of non-ferrous metals used in construction and industry which require painting for either aesthetic or protective reasons. New galvanised steel should be treated with a «mordant» solution or «T» wash. a thorough examination of the substrate is advisable and the surface checked for cleanliness. b. If the existing paint system is intact then these surfaces can generally be cleaned with a degreasing solution and freshwater and then allowed to dry prior to painting. Aluminium for instance is a most important structural metal that has found uses in the construction. Bronze. For aged galvanised substrates the surface should be thoroughly washed to remove the soluble salts on the surface and of course the surface should be degreased. All galvanised steel should firstly be degreased. It varies in its compositions and also in the way it is cast and hence particular care should be taken with surface preparation. no organic coating should be applied if the temperature is below 5 C or the relative humidity is above 85%. It is best to apply a sealer coat first. These contaminants must be thoroughly removed. etc. Contaminants such as oil and grease are quite common place. The surface should be sanded prior to painting to allow the primer to “wet” the surface and ensure subsequent good adhesion of the coating system. cracks) should be repaired. Certain oily woods will require solvent wiping using a fast evaporating solvent to remove the surface oil. either single pack or two pack is normally applied. a sealer coat. particularly on floors in the food industry or in warehouses.g. e.

The surface must be clean and dry. the surface must be steam cleaned or sand blasted before any coating is applied. the temperature of the o steel being coated should be at least 3 C above the Dew Point.g. It should be remembered that concrete is an extremely variable material and its uses includes walls. bridges. Steel surface where general pitting has occurred and the mill scale has been almost completely removed. One important characteristics of these standards is the reference to the original condition of the steel as far as its rust grade is concerned.

Selection of Application Methods The importance of the correct application of a coating system cannot be overstressed. Small diameter pipes are more likely to be brush applied whereas the coating of the internal surface of a large diameter pipe is more suitable for spray application. if it is applied under the specified film thickness then premature corrosion may occur. Manufacturer’s Recommendations Certain products are formulated for spray application only and are too fast drying for brush or roller application. The above mentioned factors are just examples of some of the considerations that should be taken into account when choosing a method of paint application. The method of application is also an important factor as it can affect the final appearance and performance of the paint system. Also the location of an area to be coated may be such that is uneconomical or physically impossible to apply paint by spray in that area. Protective Coating 13 . may be more suitable. On the other hand if it is applied too thickly. can occur. The Location Of The Structure The possibility of over-spray onto adjacent structures or vehicles parked close to a building or structure may prohibit the use of spraying.PROTECTIVE COATING B. Paint Application 1. Other factors to be considered when deciding on the method of application are: The Shape Of The Structure A complicated structure (such as lattice work) may be unsuitable for spray application because of the extremely high loss factors involved and another method of application. other products must be spray applied to achieve the specified film thickness in one coat. This helps to improve the adhesion of the coatings to these surfaces. Always brush the final strokes from the last brush load into the previous brush load. unsuitable for roller application.5 cm) into the paint so as to prevent dripping or the running of the paint onto the handle. prior to the application of the spray-coat. There are various types of brushes : the flat wall type brush which may be up to 6 inches (15cm) in width with bristles up to 6 inches (15cm) in length. It is a faster method of application than brush but not as fast as spray application.5-3. Light strokes should be used to evenly spread the coating on the surface followed by light parallel strokes over the surface of the coating to smooth the surface and eliminate brush marks or other irregularities in the surface. rivets. by their nature. It is also a useful method of applying a “stripe” coat to areas such as bolts. holding the brush at an angle of about 45 . overlapping the wet-edge so as to prevent uneven film thickness at the overlap areas. so as to ensure the correct film thickness is achieved in these areas. Roller application achieves a much better finish if the surface is smooth. It is a relatively slow method but can be the most suitable for applying paint to small complex structures and also “hard-to-access” areas. Protective Coating 14 . however. corner etc. When applying a coating by brush the following tips may be useful to ensure an even application: Brushes should not be dipped further than 1-1.5 inches (2. and oval brushes which are often used in the marine and industrial areas for the application of coatings to irregular surfaces.PROTECTIVE COATING 2. Apply the coating using a few rapid strokes. If the surface is badly pitted. The brushing action can ensure good wetting and flooding of surfaces where high quality surface preparation is not provided. such as rivets. railings etc. Do not go back to the coating and try to “brush it out” as it will result in uneven film thickness caused by piling up the coating and also unsightly brush marks. The coating should then be spread over the substrate. edges. always brush out over the edge regularly so as to ensure the correct film thickness as achieved in this area. Brush Application Brush application is not an outdated method of paint application as is sometimes thought and indeed is still the basic method by which most decorative and maintenance coatings are applied. Methods of Application There are four common methods of applying coatings to steel and other surfaces: • Brush • Roller • Conventional Spray • Airless Spray But no one of them is the “best” method for all coatings. Roller application does not thoroughly wet the surface and also often does not achieve the recommended film thickness. brush or spray application would be more suitable. The universal use of this method is limited by two factors: • The geometry of the structure and • Certain coatings which are. o Roller Application Roller application is generally used for large flat areas such as walls. rusted or uneven. steel sheeting. it is a useful method of application of coating with lower losses than spray application. Apply the next brush stroke in the same manner as quickly as possible remembering to brush the lapped area from the latest wet edge into the wet edge of the previous brush load. Wipe the excess paint from the brush by gently tapping the bristles against the side of the can. If applying a fast drying product to an edge or surface irregularity. Fast drying products require a slightly different technique where the brush should be dipped and filled and applied to the surface as quickly as possible. etc. it is essential to have a water and oil separator to ensure that the air supplied from the compressor is clean. It has considerable advantages over conventional spray. a suction gun. Rollers can have very long handles or poles which make their use in shipyards particularly common as they are used regularly for touch up work where expensive scaffolding need not be employed. brush and roller methods of application in speed of work and the ability to achieve specified film thickness in one application. industrial products. the coating is forced into the gun under pressure. The coating is atomised by forcing it at high pressure (2000-4000 psi typically) through an accurately designed small orifice (known as a tip) at different pressures and orifice sizes. Typically the air pressure involved is 40-100 psi. If this is not provided. (This liquid has already. This method is more suitable for applying coatings of high viscosity and is faster than the suction feed method. The coating is stored in a pressure pot. the result is usually premature coating breakdown because of contamination of the coating as it is applied. Smaller rollers exist for small objects. In a pressure feed gun. A high viscosity coating is better applied using a pressure feed system with a heavy duty gun whereas an automotive coating would use a completely different set of equipment e. a paint can be successfully applied to the surface. the volume and pressure of the air supply and the tip size. Protective Coating 15 . When the trigger of the gun is operated. The coating is forced under pressure through the fluid hose to the gun and air supplied directly to the gun forces the coating through the tip. suction developed at the tip of the gun draws paint from the cup to the nozzle where it is sprayed. if necessary. The roller is usually about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter and 9 inches (23 cm) long. Conventional air spraying is commonly used for the application of coatings to cars. By controlling the viscosity of the paint. nylon or animal hair) and a handle to which it is attached. Essentially the paint is atomised to form a mist by the passage of a low pressure air stream and liquid paint through a small tip. in a controlled spray pattern.5 inches (40 mm) depending on the material used for the pile. Airless Spray This method of application is usually favoured for high build coatings on large areas. Conventional Spray Spray application of coatings is the fastest method of applying a paint. A suction feed gun is usually fitted with a “cop” or “container” which contains the coating to be applied. The length of the pile on the roller varies from 1/4 inch (6 mm) to 1.g. either pressure feed or suction. With all types of spraying (including airless). Hydraulic pressure alone is used to apply coatings by airless spray. been thinned to the correct viscosity for spray application). There are two methods of bringing the coating to the spray gun. to form a “fan” of paint droplets. This pot is connected to the gun by a fluid and an air hose and to an air supply by a large diameter hose (3-4 inch) (75-100 mm). and small areas of repair where a high quality of final appearance is essential.PROTECTIVE COATING The paint roller consists of a roller (usually foam. A long pile is used for rough surfaces whereas the shorter pile is used on the smoother surfaces. It cannot be used successfully for the application of high viscosity coatings. A combination of high velocity and rapid expansion of the coatings on passing through the orifice into the atmosphere causes them to break up (atomise) without the additional assistance of atomising air. The air then applies a pressure to force the liquid paint through the orifice of the gun and propel it to the surface to which it is being applied. • At the completion of work each day. getting into the paint. and to establish. •  Providing that adequate pressure is available. •  Solvent entrapment is reduced as much of the solvent in the paint is lost when the paint leaves the gun. whether any addition of solvent would be necessary. • Keep the paint containers covered. Ensure that the safety trigger device is in working order and only released during spraying operations. When spraying it is advisable to avoid placing hands or fingers in front of the gun as the coating can be forced into the flesh bloodstream. Properly controlled airless spray is probably the most economical method of spray application. more than one gun can be used with each spray pump. Always ensure that the tip size recommended on the product data sheet is being used. • Spray Technique : The spray fan should be kept at right angles to the surface and the gun should be triggered at the end of each pass. Airless spray application can be controlled by the pressure. cleaner and safer working environment. • Stir paints with air-driven mixers and not with pieces of wood as splinters cause blockages and also can damage the pump. Distances in excess of 20 inches (50 cm) encourage pin-holding. even if the paint container is under the pump. •  Over-spray is reduced to a minimum resulting in a healthier. Special high pressure paint lines are necessary for the material to be sprayed. can transmit to the coating material pressures of 20-75 times the pressure of the air supplied to the pump by compressor. ensure that the pump.PROTECTIVE COATING The pressure is supplied by either an electric or air activated pump. The equipment is relatively expensive but the savings on major applications often offset the high initial coat. • Much more viscous paint can be applied. Airless spray application requires a high degree of care because of the pressures involved. The tip size is very important as combined with the pressure they determine the flow rate of the paint. Some pumps are fitted directly to a wall and are supplied by 200 litre drums. Serious consideration should also be given to the spray angle ensuring that the optimum fan width is provided in relation to the shape and size of the structure being coated. Protective Coating 16 . dry spray and over-spray to occur. prior to painting. Some useful procedures that should be followed are: • Always use clean tips and clean these with solvent if application is to be stopped for more than 15 minutes. which is the most common on-site equipment. The air activated pump. It is important to ensure that all the equipment is kept very clean so as to ensure the minimum of delay because of tip blockages etc. in the pump and in the gun (unless specifically instructed by the data sheet to leave the filter out). The use of airless spray has several advantages over conventional spray application: • Airless Spray is a faster method of application. The recommended practice in every instance is to ensure that the most suitable spray tip and pressure are selected and tried. • Improved surface wetting characteristics (especially when fast drying paints are being applied).

The ideal distance for holding an airless spray gun from the surface being coated is 12-15 inches (30-40 cm) as this will ensure a full wet coat is applied. others fit over the top of a 5 litre or 20 litre drum and have wheels which make them portable on site. • Use a filter on the paint intake line.

The method of determination is adopted and modified from ASTM D-2697 which determines the Volume Solids of a coatings using the recommended dry film thickness of the coating quoted on the product data sheet. ambient temperature quoted in the relevant product data sheet. Hard Dry (ISO 9117-90) The condition of the coating film in which it is dry throughout its coating thickness. VOLUME SOLIDS The Volume Solids value given on the product data sheet is the percentage of the wet film. The drying times achieved in practice may fluctuate slightly. application condition and substrate surface condition. drying and curing duration. DRY FILM THICKNESS (DFT) The measured thickness of the final dried film applied onto substrate. application technique. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure accuracy. and a specified drying schedule at o o ambient temperature. as opposed to that condition in which the surface of the coating film is dry superficially but the bulk of the coating is still fluid-like.e. 7 days at 23 C ± 1 C. DRYING TIME The drying times quoted in the product data sheet have been determined in the laboratory using typical dry film thickness. relative humidity and ventilation) both during and after application were as recommended for the particular coating. For example. Certain terms that require further elaboration are as follows: Minimum The “minimum overcoating time” quoted is an indication of the time required for the coating to attain the necessary state of dryness and hardness to allow the application of a further coat of paint. then the quoted minimum overcoating times are liable to variation and will invariably have to be extended. The condition of the coating to be overcoated must be sound and intact. Although the adhesion of the coatings applied to aged / cured coatings may be deemed satisfactory for the specified end use. Indefinite Where an “indefinite” overcoating time is stated. clean. primers. By their nature. a rough textured surface of an epoxy-mastic may required “extensive” surface preparations to ensure cleanliness. Protective Coating 20 . Maximum The “maximum overcoating time” indicates the allowable time period within which overcoating should be carried out to ensure acceptable intercoat adhesion is achieved.PROTECTIVE COATING OVERCOATING INTERVAL The product data sheet gives both “minimum” and “maximum” overcoating interval where the figures quoted at various temperatures are intended as guidelines. For further additional information on individual products. Excellent adhesion does not necessarily mean good performance. sweep blasting. Environmental conditions (especially in respect of temperature. nor does relatively poor adhesion necessarily mean poor performance. If the above state conditions are not met. For example. and over-applied epoxy-MIO may not have its usual “textured” surface and is no longer favourable for overcoating upon aging unless suitably abraded. For example. and interpretation of results can be subjective. if either spray or brush can apply a coating. or other suitable process which will not through or detract from the performance of the underlying coating. It should be recognized that the level of intercoat adhesion obtained is also dependent upon the chemistry of the “topcoat”. consistent with good painting practices. or coating schemes. actual numerical values obtained for adhesion may be less than with coatings applied within “minimum / short” overcoatings intervals. The measurement of ultimate “adhesive strength” can often be a difficult process. Which assumes that: The coating has been applied in accordance to the recommended thickness. A sound understanding of the application method. Coating that have a smooth and glossy surface that do not promote adhesion of subsequent coats should be treated with light surface abrasion. it is expected that overcoating is carried out more rapidly if sprayed and it is the “minimal” figure that is quoted. sealers or undercoats with acceptable pigment levels will have inherently better adhesion than finish coats with lower pigment contents. The paint used for overcoating is suitable for that purpose. tightly adherent. consult your local Berger office. The aged coating has the “intended” surface characteristics required for long term overcoatability. especially in an industrial and / or coastal environment. dry and free from all foreign contaminants. the anticipated level of intercoat adhesion can only be achieved if: The coating has been applied in accordance with good painting practices and at specified film thickness. It is recommended that users check with local agencies for details of current VOC regulations. must be heated for the vapours emitted to ignite momentarily in the presence of a flame. refer to the time periods under which satisfactory coating performance will be achieved. to ensure compliance with any local legislative requirements when proposing the use of any coatings.
