Surface Preparation
General
- Surfaces must be clean and dry
- Employ adequate methods to remove dirt, dust, oil and all other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion of the coating
Steel
- For immersion service, abrasive blast cleaning to min. Sa 2 (ISO 8501-1)
- For non-immersion service, hand- or power tool cleaning to min. St 2 (ISO 8501-1) is acceptable
- Alternatively, ultra-high pressure water jetting to Nace No. 7 min. C Vis WJ-2. Max flash rust; C Vis WJ-2M

- Industry standards are for substrate temperatures to be 5°F above the dew point
- Condensation due to substrate temperatures below the dew point can cause flash rusting on prepared steel
- Special application techniques may be required above or below normal application conditions
Health and Safety
