Coatings shall be thinned and/or mixed according to Coat Manufacturer's data sheets. The mixing shall be
very accurate and carried out by a mechanical mixer. Coatings shall be used only within the limits of its potlife and shall be discharged before the pot-life time has expired. The pot-life of any coating is specified on
data sheets.
Different brands or types of coatings shall not be inter-mixed unless approved by both Coat Manufacturers
by written declaration on headed paper. The thinner shall be the same recommended by Coat Manufacturer.
Coating application shall be carried out only at the following conditions:
Air temperature: 5 40 C. Min value of 10 C for two components catalyses coating
Air relative humidity: 85%. Min value of 50% for zinc primer application
Steel temperature: at least 3 C above the dew point temperature of the surrounding air
Temperature and humidity shall be continuously monitored.
Coating application shall not be carried out under rain or in a misty atmosphere or in presence of dew and
on moist surfaces.
The surface coated shall be protected by: rain, dust, salts and pollution during both application and curing.
The primer application shall be performed before any visible rusting occurs and within maximum 4 hours
from surface preparation. Should the surface be contaminated prior to application, the surface shall be
restored.
Welds shall be primed only after completion of all required pressure testing.
Coating application shall be carried out, preferably, by airless spray. CONTRACTOR shall authorize other
application methods.
Stripe coating method, by brush or roller, shall be applied on all the areas difficult to reach such as: welds,
bolts, nuts, corners, edges, etc. The stripe coating shall be applied before each coat layer.
Intermediate and/or finish coating application shall be performed only if the previous coat is in perfect
condition. The over-coating time indicated in the data sheets shall be used to establish the time schedule.
Prior to over-coating the inorganic zinc rich primer, rub test (see paragraph 12.3, MEK test) shall be carried
out.
Surfaces that will be inaccessible after assembly, including the surfaces of lap joint flanges, nozzle necks,
lap joint stub ends, lap rings, bolt holes and some welded joints, shall receive the complete coating system
before assembling.
The application of the whole coating system shall occur without sag, runs, blistering, wrinkling and spots.
Each coat layer shall have a different colour from the previous one, to prevent uncoated areas and to
facilitate inspection.
Not insulated parts belonging to insulated piping and/or equipment (e.g.: flanges, nozzles, etc.) shall be
coated with the corresponding system used for not insulated surface. The coating shall be applied also to
the insulated part for an extension of approximately 30 cm (see next figure), when possible.

In case of repairing, the affected areas shall be delimited by using adhesive tape to form squares or
rectangles.
In repairing hot dip galvanized structures, damaged areas shall be treated as follows:

Primer: organic zinc rich (92% min of zinc in DFT) applied at the same thickness of the original
coating
In case of dissimilar joint seams between two different steels (for example carbon steel/stainless steel), also
the more noble steel surfaces shall be coated by a width of 50 mm in addition to the welding seam unless
