HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT PAINT

SYSTEM
GUIDELINES FOR COATING PROTECTION IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ISO 12944

What is Corrosion?

Corrosion is the gradual destruction of materials,

usually metals, by chemical reaction with its
environment. In the most common use of the word,
this means electrochemical oxidation, of metals in
reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen. Rusting,
the formation of iron oxides, is a well-known
example of electrochemical corrosion.

How to prevent corrosion?

1. Barrier effect
2. Inhibitor effect
3. Galvanic effect

1. Barrier effect:

Paints with very low water permeability.

Bitumen, Tar or Epoxy at High DFT
Flake formed pigments Low DFT
Parallel orientation of flakes, Complicated
and longer path around pigments.

2. Inhibitor effect:

Primers containing Inhibitors to suppress

corrosion process.
Water soluble
Top Coated with Barrier Product
Not suited for prolonged immersion

3. Galvanic effect:

Protection of steel through the galvanic effect (Cathodic

protection)
Paint containing large amounts of metallic zinc.
Metallic contact between the zinc particles and the steel.
Absolutely clean steel surface
Zinc silicates, are initially rather porous.
Pores are filled and a barrier is formed.
Not suited immersion service
Favoured protection in solvent tanks.

ESTABLISH THE EFFECT OF ENVIROMENTAL

CORROSIVITY BY CONSIDERING:

HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE (SERVICE TEMPERATURE

AND TEMPERATURE GRADIENTS)
THE PRESENCE OF UV RADIATION
CHEMICAL EXPOSURE (eg. SPECIFIC EXPOSURE IN
INDUSTRIAL PLANTS)
MECHANICAL DAMAGE ( IMPACT, ABRASION ETC)
BURRIED STRUCTURES, POROSITY & GROUND CONDITIONS
DAMPNESS, Ph & BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF WATER

THE CORROSIVE AGGRESSIVENESS OF THE

ENVIROMENT WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON:

TYPE OF PAINT USED FOR PROTECTION

TOTAL THICKNESS OF A PAINT SYSTEM
THE SURFACE PREPARATION REQUIRED
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM RECOATING INTERVALS
THE MORE CORROSIVE THE ENVIRONMENT, THE MORE
THOROUGH THE SURFACE PREPARATION REQUIRED
RECOATING INTERVALS MUST ALSO BE STRICTLY
OBSERVED.

APPLICATION TAKES PLACE
PREFABRICATED BOTH OFF AND ON SITE AND WHEN
BUILDING STAGES ARE COMPLETE.
SURFACE PREPARATION AND THE CURING TIME OF PAINT
PRODUCTS IN RELATION TO TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
ARE CONSIDERED.
WORKSHOP/SITE, RECOATING INTERVALS MUST ALSO BE
TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.

SURFACE PREPARATION
STANDARD SURFACE PREPARATION GRADES FOR PRIMARY SURFACE PREPARATION
BY ABRASIVE BLASTING METHODS

Sa 3

BLAST-CLEANING TO VISUALLY CLEAN STEEL

WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, THE SURFACE SHALL BE FREE FROM VISIBLE
OIL, GREASE AND DIRT, AND SHALL BE FREE FROM MILL SCALE, RUST, PAINT COATINGS
AND FOREIGN MATTER. IT SHALL HAVE A UNIFORM METALLIC COLOUR.

Sa 2

VERY THOROUGH BLAST-CLEANING

WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, THE SURFACE SHALL BE FREE FROM VISIBLE
OIL, GREASE AND DIRT, AND FROM MILL SCALE, RUST, PAINT COATINGS AND FOREIGN
MATTER. ANY REMAINING TRACES OF CONTAMINATION SHALL SHOW ONLY AS SLIGHT
STAINS IN THE FORM OF SPOTS OR STRIPES.

Sa 2

THOROUGH BLAST-CLEANING
WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, THE SURFACE SHALL BE FREE FROM VISIBLE
OIL, GREASE AND DIRT, AND FROM MOST OF THE MILL SCALE, RUST, PAINT COATINGS AND
FOREIGN MATTER1. ANY RESIDUAL CONTAMINATION SHALL BE FIRMLY ADHERING.

Sa 1

LIGHT BLAST-CLEANING
WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, THE SURFACE SHALL BE FREE FROM VISIBLE
OIL, GREASE AND DIRT, AND FROM POORLY ADHERING MILL SCALE, RUST, PAINT
COATINGS AND FOREIGN MATTER.

SURFACE PREPARATION

STANDARD PREPARATION GRADES FOR PRIMARY SURFACE PREPARATION

BY HAND & POWERTOOL CLEANING

St 3

VERY THOROUGH HAND AND POWER TOOL CLEANING

AS FOR ST 2, BUT THE SURFACE SHALL BE TREATED MUCH MORE
THOROUGHLY TO GIVE A METALLIC SHEEN ARISING FROM THE METALLIC
SUBSTRATE.

St 2

THOROUGH HAND AND POWER TOOL CLEANING

WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, THE SURFACES SHALL BE FREE
FROM VISIBLE OIL, GREASE AND DIRT, AND FROM POORLY ADHERING MILL
SCALE, RUST, PAINT COATINGS AND FOREIGN MATTER.

WATER JETTING
Wa 1

Wa 2

Wa 2

LIGHT HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JETTING

WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, THE SURFACE SHALL BE FREE FROM VISIBLE OIL AND
GREASE, LOOSE OR DEFECTIVE PAINT, LOOSE RUST AND OTHER FOREIGN MATTER. ANY RESIDUAL
CONTAMINATION SHALL BE RANDOMLY DISPERSED AND FIRMLY ADHERENT.
THOROUGH HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JETTING
WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, THE SURFACE SHALL BE FREE FROM VISIBLE OIL,
GREASE AND DIRT AND MOST OF THE RUST, PREVIOUS PAINT COATINGS AND OTHER FOREIGN
MATTER. ANY RESIDUAL CONTAMINATION SHALL BE RANDOMLY DISPERSED AND CAN CONSIST OF
FIRMLY ADHERENT COATINGS, FIRMLY ADHERENT FOREIGN MATTER AND STAINS OF PREVIOUSLY
EXISTENT RUST.
VERY THOROUGH HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JETTING
WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, THE SURFACE SHALL BE FREE FROM ALL VISIBLE RUST,
OIL, GREASE, DIRT, PREVIOUS PAINT COATINGS AND, EXCEPT FOR SLIGHT TRACES, ALL OTHER
FOREIGN MATTER. DISCOLORATION OF THE SURFACE CAN BE PRESENT WHERE THE ORIGINAL
COATING WAS NOT INTACT. THE GREY OR BROWN/BLACK DISCOLORATION OBSERVED ON PITTED
AND CORRODED STEEL CANNOT BE REMOVED BY FURTHER WATER JETTING.
LIGHT FLASH RUST
A SURFACE WHICH, WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, EXHIBITS SMALL QUANTITIES OF A
YELLOW/BROWN RUST LAYER THROUGH WHICH THE STEEL SUBSTRATE CAN BE SEEN. THE RUST
(SEEN AS A DISCOLORATION) CAN BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED OR PRESENT IN PATCHES, BUT IT WILL
BE TIGHTLY ADHERENT AND NOT EASILY REMOVED BY GENTLE WIPING WITH A CLOTH.
MEDIUM FLASH RUST
A SURFACE WHICH, WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, EXHIBITS A LAYER OF
YELLOW/BROWN RUST THAT OBSCURES THE ORIGINAL STEEL SURFACE. THE RUST CAN BE
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED OR PRESENT IN PATCHES, BUT IT WILL BE REASONABLY WELL ADHERENT
AND IT WILL LIGHTLY MARK A CLOTH THAT IS GENTLY WIPED OVER THE SURFACE.
HEAVY FLASH RUST
A SURFACE WHICH, WHEN VIEWED WITHOUT MAGNIFICATION, EXHIBITS A LAYER OF REDYELLOW/BROWN RUST THAT OBSCURES THE ORIGINAL STEEL SURFACE AND IS LOOSELY
ADHERENT. THE RUST LAYER CAN BE EVENLY DISTRIBUTED OR PRESENT IN PATCHES AND IT WILL
READILY MARK A CLOTH THAT IS GENTLY WIPED OVER THE SURFACE.
