Typical Protective Coating Specifications

The framework to assess and rank specifications presented in the previous section is based on commonly used specifications to protect structural steel against corrosion in applications such as building, bridges etc. The following are some typical corrosion protection specifications all based on blast cleaning to Sa 2 of ISO8501-1. For our information, Graham has included suggested service environments and a few pictures illustrating where these specifications have been used. a) Conventional Epoxy specification Coat Material Thickness (mm) Primer Epoxy Zinc Phosphate 75 Barrier Epoxy MIO 125 Finish Polyurethane 50 Finish Polyurethane 50 Standard UK Highways agency specification for use on motorway bridges. Expected life to first major maintenance in excess of 20 years, used on the Blythe Valley Bridge. b) Zinc rich epoxy specification Coat Material Thickness (mm) Primer Epoxy Zinc Rich 40 Barrier Epoxy MIO 150 Barrier Epoxy MIO 150 Finish Polyurethane 50 Bridge specification. Used on Oresund crossing and Channel Tunnel Rail link structures c) Zinc rich for buildings Coat Material Thickness (mm) Primer Epoxy Zinc Rich 75 Barrier Epoxy MIO 125 Finish Polyurethane 50 Standard specification for external steel on buildings. d) Zinc rich only specification Coat Material Thickness (mm) Primer Epoxy Zinc Rich 75 Cavity and perimeter steel in buildings e) Epoxy Phosphate specification Coat Material Thickness (mm) Primer Epoxy Zinc Phosphate 75 Barrier Epoxy MIO 100 Finish Polyurethane 50 In swimming pool environments. External steel easily maintainable. f) Alkyd specification Coat Material Thickness (mm) Primer Alkyd Zinc Phosphate 40 Barrier Alkyd MIO 75 Finish Alkyd undercoat 75 Finish Alkyd Gloss 50 g) Glass Flake Epoxy (GFE) specification for bridges Coat Material Thickness (mm) Primer Epoxy Zinc phosphate 25 Barrier GFE 400 Finish Polyurethane 50 h) Glass Flake Epoxy (GFE) specification for offshore platforms Coat Material Thickness (mm) Primer Epoxy Zinc phosphate 25 Barrier GFE 500 Barrier GFE 500 Finish Polyurethane 50 This document was prepared on 10 November 2000 by Graham Gedge
