1. GUIDANCE NOTES (Not to go out with specified paint system(s))


1.1

The following guidance notes are designed to assist an engineer or architect in


selecting an appropriate paint system(s) that will protect the client's investment against
corrosion, and where necessary provide an architectural finish.
Each project has different requirements depending on location, exposure etc. Always
contact International Paint (Gulf) LLC to confirm suitability of a chosen system(s) for a
given structure. (See below for appropriate contacts). Prior to contacting International
Paint (Gulf) LLC read the supporting Guidance Notes provided along with the
Anticipated Life to First Maintenance notes. Engineer is advised to liaise with the
architect/client to establish finish/maintenance requirements.
Where requirements fall outside the standard specifications provided within these
Guidance Notes, contact International Paint (Gulf) LLC to discuss and agree an
appropriate coating system(s). Points of contact:Nick Crowther
Business Development Manager (Middle East)

e-mail: nick.sandy@akzonobel.com

When selecting a paint system to protect the client's investment against corrosion a
Specifier is also making a commercial decision regards the cost and related quality of
corrosion protection. The majority of a paint budget for a given project is taken up at
works in blasting the steel to Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1: 1988), and labour costs for
application. These are constant cost factors regardless of what paint system is
adopted. It is therefore in the client's interest to have a paint system that will provide a
maximised life to first major maintenance with a minimal amount of incurred
maintenance.

For further guidance please contact Nick Crowther; +971 (0) 50 625 7464 / nick.crowther@akzonobel.com

1.2

Environmental

1.2.1

Sustainability Index
The coating supplier must demonstrate a commitment to the environment and confirm
its credentials as a sustainable supplier by independent reports such as the Dow
Jones Sustainability Index. AkzoNobel has been listed within the index for the past
fours years and topped the index in 2007.

1.2.2

Lead in Zincs
Lead is a natural occurring component of zinc based coatings. Within zinc based
coatings there are varying degrees of lead content which will depend upon the type of
lead used. All of our zinc based coatings are formulated with Type II lead as per ASTM
D520. All zinc coatings must comply with ASTM D520 Type II for lead content.

1.2.3

VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)


Each product listed has a VOC Grams per litre listed as measured by UK PG 6.

For further guidance please contact Nick Crowther; +971 (0) 50 625 7464 / nick.crowther@akzonobel.com

1.3

Product Fingerprinting
International Paint employs a global product range that is centrally managed ensuring
consistency of quality, regardless of the geographical location. We recognise that
product quality must be consistent at every supply point. To this end International
Paint complies with the principles outlined in ISO 20340 for product fingerprinting and
authentication. By adopting product authentication protocol specifiers can be assured
of product consistency world-wide.

For further guidance please contact Nick Crowther; +971 (0) 50 625 7464 / nick.crowther@akzonobel.com

1.4

Paint Systems for Specific Locations


The aim of this section is to provide the engineer or architect with some guidance re the
type of system that should be adopted for a given location.
The features and benefits are given for each system with a confirmed paint system
appearing under the Protective Coatings Systems section pages
Note: G10 INSPECTION - On all steel structures where International Paint have been
specified and supply the coatings, International Paint will provide an inspection service
as per the attached G10 535 Inspection clause. Whilst the onus is on the
fabricator/applicator to alert International Paint, 7 days prior to start of application
programme it is always helpful if the project engineer can alert International Paint, via
Nick Crowther, at the earliest opportunity that inspection back up is required enabling
the International Paint Technical Services Dept. to liaise and make necessary
arrangements with the fabricator/applicator.
Note: G10 735 TREATMENT OF SITE WELDED JOINTS IN PAINTED STEELWORK
- Traditionally site welded joints would be prepared prior to painting by removing all
scale and weld splatter by grinding or chipping, abrade to remove all traces of rust, and
wash down with clean water. The quality of the surface preparation has a direct bearing
on the durability of the applied primer. The integrity of a high performance system can
be adversely affected if applied over an inadequately prepared surface. To avoid this
situation arising we would always recommend vacuum blasting the welds to Sa2.5.

For further guidance please contact Nick Crowther; +971 (0) 50 625 7464 / nick.crowther@akzonobel.com

638 SHOP PRIMING (NO SITE COAT APPLICATION)


1.

638(A) - All internal non exposed steelwork, including steelwork that is partially
embedded in concrete. If majority of steel structure is internal non exposed in an
onshore location this system should be given first preference. See notes below
re use of System 638(B).
1 coat Intergard 251 - Fast curing epoxy zinc phosphate.
Nominal d.f.t. 75 m
Intergard 251 is a versatile spray applied primer that is hard dry within 2 hours as
against 24 hours using a standard epoxy or alkyd. The rapid drying properties of
Intergard 251 mean that minimum disruption is caused to the fabrication programme
which can provide a considerable cost saving. The amount of handling damage
requiring site touch up is also greatly reduced compared to other standard Protective
Finishes. Touching up at site is not only costly but never as satisfactory as applying a
uniform thickness at works for long term protection.

638(B) -

All internal non exposed steelwork, including steelwork that is partially embedded
in concrete when specified in conjunction with system(s) 640 (A) and/or 640 (B)
1 coat Interzinc 52

Epoxy zinc rich


Nominal d.f.t. 75 m

Epoxy zinc rich provides excellent long term anti-corrosive protection. Although
Intergard 251 will provide adequate protection, Interzinc 52 could be specified for
structures where there is a high element of exposed steelwork that has been specified
with system(s) 640 (A) and/or 640 (B). By specifying the same base primer for all of the
steelwork this can help to facilitate the painting programme as it avoids having to use
two different anti corrosive primers for the same structure.
Note of caution: For structures in a marine coastal location allowance must be made for
any possible delay re the construction programme. If the structural shell is likely to be
left exposed for more than two months before being covered then the Interzinc 52
epoxy zinc rich should be specified to avoid any possible premature breakdown of the
anti corrosive primer.

For further guidance please contact Nick Crowther; +971 (0) 50 625 7464 / nick.crowther@akzonobel.com

640 SHOP PAINTING WITH (COMPLETE SYSTEM SHOP APPLIED)


3.

640(A) - All external steelwork, including semi exposed areas up to and including
a C4 Environment as per ISO 12944 Classification.
1 coat Interzinc 52-

Epoxy Zinc Rich


Minimum d.f.t. 80

1 coat Intergard 475HS - Epoxy MIO


Minimum d.f.t. 100 m
1 coat Interfine 979 -

Acrylic polysiloxane
Minimum d.f.t. 100 m

The Interfine 979 acrylic polysiloxane, which is free of isocyanate should be specified
as a complete system applied at works to include recommended corrosion protection
primer and intermediate coats.
This system should be specified for external exposed steelwork where the client
requires enhanced corrosion protection combined with a high architectural/cosmetic
appearance, where access for future maintenance will be difficult and of a high cost.
Typical structures being: Stadia, airports, atrium steelwork within shopping centres,
swimming pools along with any other high profile structures.
Note: Interfine 979 is a gloss finish available in a wide range of shades. Being acrylic
modified Interfine 979 has superior weathering properties compared to first generation
epoxy modified polysiloxanes.
For steelwork that is accessible to the public the architect/client should be made aware
of the excellent anti-graffiti properties of Interfine 979.
Swimming pool steelwork
System 640(A) would be suitable for internal exposed steelwork within a swimming pool
area where long term corrosion protection combined with a high architectural
appearance is required.
Interfine 979 will retain its gloss/cosmetic properties by a factor of 3 to 4 times longer
than standard polyurethane i.e. typically 15 to 20 years using Interfine 979 as against 3
to 8 years using polyurethane. This enhanced durability/cosmetic retention can be of
significant interest to the Client who wants to avoid expense of applying a traditional
site coat system and is looking to minimise any ongoing maintenance.

For further guidance please contact Nick Crowther; +971 (0) 50 625 7464 / nick.crowther@akzonobel.com

4.

640(B) - All external exposed steelwork, including semi exposed areas.


C5 Environment as per ISO 12944 Classification.
1 coat Interzinc 52 -

Epoxy zinc rich


Nominal d.f.t. 75 m
1 coat Intergard 475HS - Epoxy mio
Nominal d.f.t. 150 m
1 coat Interfine 979 Acrylic polysiloxane
Nominal d.f.t. 100 m
Where the Client is requiring a Life to First Major Maintenance of 20 years in a C5
Environment as per ISO 12944 Classification i.e. Marine estuaries, coastal areas with
high salinity then an epoxy zinc rich primer needs to be applied with an additional works
coat of epoxy mio prior to the application of the Interfine 979 acrylic polysiloxane.

5.

638(C) - All internal exposed steelwork


1 coat Intergard 251
1 coat Interfine 979 -

Fast drying epoxy zinc phosphate / mio


Nominal d.f.t. 75 m
Acrylic polysiloxane
Nominal d.f.t. 100 m

This system would be suitable for high profile architectural steelwork where the client
wants the complete system applied offsite to avoid incurred costs of traditional site coat
system, and as with external exposed steelwork access for future maintenance will be
difficult and of a high cost.

6.

638(D) - All internal exposed steelwork


1 coat Interseal 670HS - High solids epoxy
Nominal d.f.t. 100 m
Interseal 670HS is available in a wide range of shades and should be adopted where
the client does not require a high architectural finish but requires a colour for purposes
of identity e.g. a dry industrial environment such as a warehouse, distribution facility or
hanger. The key benefit to the client is the cost saving in not having to pay for access,
labour and actual time spent in applying a traditional site coat system.

For further guidance please contact Nick Crowther; +971 (0) 50 625 7464 / nick.crowther@akzonobel.com

7.

638(E) - Steelwork to be built into brick or blockwork cavities


1 coat Interseal 670HS - High solids epoxy
Nominal d.f.t. 175 m
Due to the very high solvent content of bitumen, this product, which traditionally has
been adopted for these locations, is environmentally sensitive and has been replaced
by our high solids low solvent Interseal 670HS. The purpose of protecting the cavities is
to prevent moisture causing any corrosion where access for future maintenance is likely
to be severely restricted. The key benefit of applying the corrosion protection at works
is that the spray application is carried out in a controlled environment ensuring that the
required d.f.t. is achieved. The potential problems of diluting the bitumen with thinner
for ease of application is avoided
Where the Interzinc 52 epoxy zinc rich is being used as the base primer for rest of the
steelwork substitute the Interseal 670HS with a coat of Interzinc 52 at a nominal d.f.t. of
100 m.

8.

638(F) - Steelwork partially or fully submerged in water, or ongoing damp / wet


environment
1 coat Interzone 954 -

Hydrocarbon epoxy
Nominal d.f.t. 500 m

Interzone 954 is suitable for splash zone and specialist onshore maintenance and new
construction application e.g. jetty piling, bridge underdecks, water/waste treatment
environments, paper mills or any other location where there is an ongoing damp/wet
environment.
Available in a range of colours Interzone 954 is an alternative to coal tar epoxy with
fewer health and safety restrictions.
The cost benefit of Interzone 954 is that this product can be applied in one coat as
against the traditional three coat application of an anti corrosive primer plus two coats of
coal tar epoxy to achieve the same dry film thickness

630 GALVANISING PLUS PAINT SYSTEM


9.

630(A) - Galvanised steelwork


Thoroughly clean down, degrease and apply to a clean, dry surface:1 coat Interprime 160 - Etch solution
1 coat Intergard 251 - Epoxy
Nominal d.f.t. 75 m
1 coat Interfine 979 Acrylic polysiloxane
Nominal d.f.t. 100
Again Interfine 979 would be suitable for areas where access re future maintenance is
going to be difficult and of a very high cost where the client wants to minimise ongoing
maintenance.
The above system assumes site application by brush. If application to be done at
works 'sweep blast' the surface instead of using the etch solution.

1.5

Epoxy Intumescent
M61 Intumescent coating for two hour fire protection of steelwork
150(B) Off site coating
Interchar 212 epoxy intumescent
Typical thickness 4 6mm
Interchar 212 is a solvent free epoxy intumescent that has a zero V.O.C. content
suitable for application to all structural steel sections that require a two hour fire
protection rating.
Interchar 212 is applied offsite in a works controlled environment. The material can be
applied directly on to a surface prepared to grade Sa 2.5, avoiding the need to apply an
anti corrosive primer. If required Interchar 212 can be applied over a range of
approved International Paint primers.
The offsite application of Interchar 212 reduces the complexity of the construction
process and can assist in reducing the construction schedule. In addition the offsite
application allows for more rigorous quality control ensuring that the fire proofing is
applied exactly as per the project specification.
Interchar 212 is suitable for exposure in all environments. This product can be top
coated for architectural purposes either with polyurethane or acrylic polysiloxane in a
full range of shades.
Interchar 212 has been independently explosion tested up to 4 bar with no damage to
the material.
110(A) On site installation of cast epoxy intumescent
Interchar 212 epoxy intumescent is available in casting form to provide a two hour fire
protection of circular and rectangular free standing columns where a high architectural
appearance is required.

2. ANTICIPATED LIFE TO FIRST MAJOR MAINTENANCE PERIOD


The ISO 12944 standard is intended to assist engineers and corrosion experts in adopting best
practice in corrosion protection of structural steel at new construction.
ISO 12944 is progressively superseding regional standards to become a truly global benchmark in
corrosion control.
As defined in ISO 12944, Corrosion Protection of Steel Structures by Protective Paint Systems,
the durability of a coating system may be expressed in terms of 3 ranges:Low
Medium
High

2 to 5 years
5 to 15 years
More than 15 years

The anticipated level of coating failure before the first major maintenance painting is needed
should be discussed by the interested parties. This would normally be carried out for reasons of
corrosion protection once the coating has reached the level Ri3 as defined in ISO 4628-3
designation of degree of rusting.
The degree of rusting is judged on a scale from Ri0 in which there is no rusting, to Ri5 where there
is 40-50% rusting.
The degree of rusting is estimated by reference to a series of pictorial standards selected from the
International Standard ISO 4628/3, Designation of degree of rusting.
Designation Ri3 refers to a coating system where 1% of the surface area has broken down so that
rust has broken through.
It needs to be clearly understood that the durability of a paint system i.e. how long will it last before
requiring a first major maintenance is not a "guarantee time". Durability is a technical
consideration that can help the owner set up a maintenance programme. A guarantee time is a
consideration that is the legal subject of clauses in the administrative part of the contract. The
guarantee time is usually shorter than the durability range. There are no rules that link the two
periods of time.
Maintenance of the finish coat is often required at more frequent intervals because of fading,
chalking, contamination, wear and tear or simply for aesthetic reasons. By selecting an
appropriate finish coat system along with an ongoing inspection programme it is possible to
prolong the durability of the finish coat system. It is for this reason that on exposed steelwork
where a high quality architectural finish is required we now recommend our Interfine 979
polysiloxane which will retain its gloss/cosmetic properties by a factor of 3 to 4 times longer than a
standard traditional polyurethane.

Use suitable packing, lashings, lifting harnesses, nylon slings, rubber-protected
chains and chocks, etc.
Stack coated components clear of the ground, separated by timber chocks, such
that ponding does not occur.
Where the finished coat is to be shop applied, extreme care and attention should be
taken during transportation and erection to ensure the finished surface remains
undamaged. Allowance should be made for bubble wrap protection or similar during
this process.

PROTECTION:
Adequately protect freshly applied surface coatings from damage.
Exhibit 'Wet paint' signs and provide protective barriers where necessary.
Adequately protect surfaces adjacent to those being covered.
Ensure all surfaces to be painted are dry, clean and free of any dirt, oil, grease or
other contamination, including any zinc salts.
Where an epoxy zinc rich primer has been specified the applied primer must have a
minimum zinc dust pigment content of 80% by mass of the dry film and comply with
requirements specified by ISO 3549.
REMEDIAL WORK:
Early degradation of coatings by blistering, peeling, flaking, cracking, lack of
adhesion, etc. must be made good by complete removal, preparation and
reapplication of the failing coat(s), as instructed and to the satisfaction of the CA.
Inadequate dry film thickness or surface defects due to inclement weather may,
depending on the type of paint, be remedied by rubbing down and applying further
coat(s), as instructed.
Any painted areas mechanically damaged in transit or following erection damage to
be hand or power tool cleaned to St2 (ISO 8501-1). Touch up damaged areas with
suitable primer coat to meet original works d.f.t. followed by the specified top coat,
where applicable, at a minimum d.f.t. of 50 m. Adhere to International Paint (Gulf)
LLC ' recommendation re appropriate method of application.
If required allow for an overall site coat of Interfine 979 to be applied at a minimum
d.f.t. of 75 m to specific 979 - coated steel sections that have been subjected to
excessive transit or erection damage.
CONTROL SAMPLES:
For exposed steelwork requiring Interfine 979 acrylic polysiloxane the Contractor
shall arrange for two samples of Flat Plate (approx. 500 mm square) or with the
Engineers agreement a suitable piece of steel coated in accordance with the
specification in advance of the main works.
Following approval by the Design Team one sample shall be kept at works and
used as a reference to establish required dry film thickness and consistency of
finished work during the course of the Works and will be a point of reference re
quality of finish to be achieved. The second sample shall be retained by the CA.

Architect is to confirm which of the following finishes is required for specific locations:440 Basic Finish: Reasonably smooth and even, orange peel, other textures, minor
runs, similar minor defects are acceptable.
450 Normal Decorative Finish: A good standard of cosmetic finish generally viewed
from a distance of 5m or more. Minor orange peel or other texture is usually
acceptable.
460 High Decorative Finish: A high standard of evenness, smoothness and gloss
when viewed from a distance of 2m or more.
Working Procedures for Handling, Transportation and Storage of Interchar 212
1.

Handling
The handling of the coated steelwork may include such design features as lifting
holes and lugs which will assist in minimising the potential damage. Where such
features are not utilised the use of special lifting harnesses/nylon slings, webbing
help to spread the load over a larger surface area.

2.

Transportation
Separators shall be provided to prevent steel to steel contact and shall be adequate
for intended use. It is essential the coatings are protected from the possible effects
of ponded water.

3.

Storage
Separators used to reduce transit damage may also be utilised for the same
purpose in site storage. Timber provides a good surface on which steel may be laid
out with minimum damage to coating. It is essential the coatings are protected from
the possible effects of ponded water.

4.

Future Inspection and Maintenance


The fire resistance of the Interchar system will remain as long as the coating is in
perfect condition.
Inspection of the fire protection system should be carried out every 2-5 years
depending on the environment. Any defects, damaged areas must be repaired as
per International Paint (Gulf) LLC Recommended Working Procedures.

accordance with ISO 1519,will show that no cracking/disbondment has occurred.
Because of concern re: flexibility, Epoxy Polysiloxanes are explicitly not approved.
Specular gloss levels for Interfine 979 acrylic polysiloxane at 60 degrees to the
vertical will be typically 85 units as specified and shall be measured in accordance
with BSEN ISO 2813.
SUITABILITY OF CONDITIONS:
Do not apply coatings:
To surfaces affected by moisture or frost.
Unless the steel temperature is at least 3C above the dew point with conditions
stable or improving.
Unless the relative humidity is below 85%.
When heat is likely to cause blistering or wrinkling.
Take all necessary precautions including restrictions on working hours, providing
temporary protection and allowing extra drying time, to ensure that coatings are not
adversely affected by climatic conditions before, during and after application.
Application of coatings will be taken as joint acceptance by the Main Contractor and
Subcontractor of the suitability of surfaces and conditions within any given area.
APPLYING COATINGS:
Apply coatings to clean, dust free, dry surfaces in dry atmospheric conditions and
after any previous coats have cured adequately.
Apply coatings evenly to give a smooth finish of uniform thickness and colour, free
from brush marks, nibs, sags, runs and other defects.
Keep all surfaces clean and free from dust during coating and drying.
Adequately protect completed work from damage.
Wherever possible, coatings are to be from one manufacturing batch. Where more
than one batch is to be used, keep separate, allocate to distinct parts or areas of the
work, and inform the CA accordingly.
Keep all surfaces clean and free from dust during coating and drying. Adequately
protect completed work from damage.

-

Materials used in preparation should be of the types recommended by their


manufacturers and the coating manufacturer for the situation and the surfaces being
prepared.
Making Good: All unsatisfactory paintwork should be made good in accordance with
clause G10/550 and to the satisfaction of the CA.
Application of coatings should not occur until the surfaces and conditions within any
given area to receive the specified coatings are acceptable.
Adhere to manufacturers recommendations for intercoat preparation and maximum
and minimum drying periods.
Brushes generally to comply with the requirements of BS 6150 and BS 2992.
Roller application shall be to BS 6150.
Spray application shall be to BS 6150 generally. The Trade Contractor shall submit
details of the spraying equipment for review by the Design Team. Comply with all
Health and Safety requirements for spraying.
Special attention is to be given to the site painting of Bolt assemblies. These areas
must be done in a neat and uniform manner such that the colour and finish blends in
with its surrounding to the satisfaction of the CA.
FILM THICKNESS:
Check the thickness of each coat during application using a wet film thickness
wheel or comb in accordance with BS 3900:Part C5.
After each coat has dried measure the total accumulated dry film thickness using a
magnetic or electromagnetic meter, checked against standard shims and
recalibrated regularly against a smooth steel reference plate, the number and
position of measurements to be as directed by CA. Carry out all measurements in
the presence of the CA unless otherwise directed.
Where a nominal d.f.t is specified over a scheduled area of coating the average
accumulated dry film thickness must equal or exceed the specified thickness, with
no reading less than 75% of the specified thickness.
If at any stage the accumulated dry film thickness is deficient, the CA may require
application of additional coat(s) at no extra cost. Where a minimum d.f.t. has been
specified any areas found to be below specified figure will be made good at no extra
cost.

STRIPE COATS:
Stripe coating of welds, edges and corners of flanges, nuts and bolt heads, rough
weld seams, and areas that are difficult to access is to be carried out by brush prior
to the spray application of the specified primer. A stripe coat of Interfine 979
Polysiloxane is to be applied at 50 m d.f.t. over the same stripe coated areas,
where the Interfine 979 system has been specified.
