or comb type.
In the event of the thickness not meeting the specified requirements, additional coat(s) of the
paint concerned shall be applied in compliance with the specified requirements.
The degree of curing of epoxy resin paint systems shall be the determination of the resistance
of the coating to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). After rubbing the coating for one minute with a

fingernail.
The adhesion of the primer to the steel substrate and the intercoat adhesion of the subsequent
coat(s) and primer after curing shall be determined by alternative methods at the discretion of
owner. Adhesion to the steel substrate may be determined in accordance with X-cut taps test
described in ASTMD3359, method A for specified film thicknesses in excess of 125 microns
and method B for specified film thickness up to 125 microns.
The criteria for acceptance of adhesion tests as mentioned above shall, unless otherwise
agreed, be a scale of 4A for ASTMD3359, method A, and a scale of 4B for ASTMD3359,
method B.
For the painting material, the following checking shall be done:

2) the paint up to data certificate of chemical/ physical specification from as approved laboratory.
3) Continuity of paint
4) Viscosity
U12. SAFETY
As paint, has been manufactured from some toxic and flammable elements then working with this item shall be done
with most care. For storage and its handling flash point and manufacturer data sheet recommendation must be taken
in to consideration. All the mixing and applying shall be done in an open area or with a ventilator. Operator shall wear
eye protection when applying paint. Avoid cleaning hand with paint solvent which will cause serious chronic skin
complaints. During handling the paint appropriate gloves and clothing shall be used.
