1. GENERAL
1.1 SCOPE. This specification covers the general requirements for painting equipment,
piping, structures, vessels, buildings, and other surfaces for protection, safety marking,
decoration, or a combination of these requirements. Painting shall include surface
preparation, coatings application, inspection, and touch-up.
1.2 COLOR SELECTION. The finish colors should be selected based on local preference
or as specified. See Section 8 for safety color coding. Industry Gray is normally used
on process area piping, tanks, and equipment. White is used for compressed gas,
cryogenic vessels, and tank farm areas at some locations.
1.3 OSHA COMPLIANCE. All work done in the United States under this specification
shall be in strict compliance with the Williams/Steiger Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 and all subsequent amendments.
1.4 EPA COMPLIANCE. The paint materials and handling procedures used in performing
work covered by this specification shall comply with the volatile organic compound
(VOC) restrictions of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the laws of
the state and county where the work is done.
2. PREPARATION
2.1 STEEL. Preparation of steel surfaces shall conform to one of the following Society for
Protective Coatings (SSPC) methods as specified in the paint system to be applied.
Severely rusted and contaminated surfaces may require wet blasting or a water wash to
remove contaminates prior to abrasive blasting.
SSPC-SP-1 - SOLVENT CLEANING. Removal of all oil, grease, soil, salts, and other
contaminants by wiping, spraying, immersion, vapor degreasing, or cleaning with
steam, emulsions, or alkaline cleaners. Contaminated surfaces may require a high
pressure water rinse.
SSPC-SP-2 - HAND TOOL CLEANING. Removal of loose rust, millscale, paint, and
other foreign matter by hand chipping, scraping, sanding, and wire brushing after
solvent cleaning.
SSPC-SP-3 - POWER TOOL CLEANING. Removal of all rust, mill scale, paint and
other foreign matter by power tools after solvent cleaning.
metal cleanliness. Evenly dispersed discolorations caused by stains of rust, mill scale or
previously applied paint may remain on no more than 5% of the surface.
2.3 SITE CONSIDERATIONS. Blasting in areas that are in close proximity to operating
plant equipment and/or personnel, may require use of special procedures. Steps shall
be taken to prevent operating and safety problems that could result from on-site
blasting. When on-site blasting is required, and with Albemarle's approval, one or more
of the following special procedures shall be used.
2.4 WOOD. Remove resin from knots and any existing paint in poor condition. Set nails
and prime. Putty or caulk all cracks, joints, and nail holes. Sand all sharp edges and
corners.
2.5 CONCRETE. Surface preparation and substrate condition shall be dictated by the
coating manufacturer's requirements. Concrete should be cured. In general, old
concrete surfaces shall be thoroughly decontaminated using commercial cleaner prior
to other preparation. Wire-brushing and scraping may be used to remove loose
particles. An abrasive sweep is recommended to open bug holes and create a good
anchor profile.
2.6 SURFACE PROTECTION. All instrument glass, gage glass, machined surfaces, and
flange faces shall be covered or coated with an easily removed lubricant or masking.
Where standard protection is impractical, an Albemarle approved alternate method may
be used. All such protection shall be removed upon completion of painting. All
rotating equipment in the area shall be thoroughly protected from abrasive blasting
media and dust.
a) Blasting and primer application shall be done on the same day. If the blasted steel
changes color or if rust bloom begins to form before priming starts, the surface shall
be reblasted.
b) All painting shall be done in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
All coats of paint shall be applied in a careful manner with good workmanship
3.2 ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS. Primer or paint shall not be applied when any of the
following conditions prevail unless approved by the manufacturer:
a) It is raining or snowing.
b) There is fog or mist at the piping or equipment.
c) The temperature is less than 5F above the dew point.
d) The temperature in the painting area is below 50F.
e) The temperature of the surface exceeds 145F.
4. INSPECTION. Albemarle and the coating manufacturer's representative shall have access to
all areas of work, materials, and equipment at all times during the life of a contract governed
by this specification. Any acceptance by Albemarle shall not relieve the contractor of the
responsibility of providing materials and work in full conformance with this specification.
4.1 VISUAL. Visual inspection of the surface or coating should be made prior to each coat
to determine the presence of contaminants such as dirt, salts, foreign matter, or defects
such as holidays, sags, runs, blisters, and alligatoring. These defects are cause for
rejection of the coating or coating system and shall be corrected as required by the
Albemarle Inspector.
Specified Total
Total Thickness Tolerance
3 mils + 1 mil
4 to 5 mils + 2 mils
6 to 8 mils + 3 mils
9 to 12 mils + 4 mils
4.3 REJECTION. Albemarle reserves the right to reject any work that fails to meet this
specification. Rejected work shall be redone as specified by the Albemarle inspector.
5. PAINT SYSTEMS. Unless otherwise indicated on the drawings or the purchase order, all
painting done for the Albemarle Corporation shall conform to one of the following systems.
Painting materials shall be per section 9 or as specified or approved. All paints and thinners
used in a given application shall be from the same paint manufacturer. Systems referenced
for a particular location should be used at that location unless otherwise specified. Surface
preparation shall be per Para 2.
Corrosive environments are defined, for the purpose of this specification, as those areas
where the coated surface, through fumes, splash, or spillage, experiences chemicals having
pH values of less than 5.5 or greater than 10.
Note: DFT means Dry Film Thickness and SSPC represents Steel Structures Painting
Council.
Note: In cases where a very fast cure of the primer is required, an Inorganic Zinc Rich
or a fast cure epoxy primer may be used. Both primers require SSPC-SP-10, Near
White Abrasive Blast and shop conditions.
A single 3 - 7 mil coat of epoxy siloxane may be used instead of the intermediate and
top coats specified above.
Note: When insulation is required only for personnel protection, this primer shall be
top coated per Para 5.1. unless specified otherwise.
Note: The additional primer coat is to be applied to the manufacturer's standard top
coat.
Steel components of shops and warehouses should be galvanized per ASTM A123,
with 2.3 oz. per sq.ft. If economically feasible, prefabricated buildings with the
manufacturer's primer and topcoat may be used. If the manufacturer's standard coating
system is deemed unacceptable, the surface may be roughened to a surface profile of 1
mil followed by a primer and top coat per Para 5.1.
Note: Failure to use the top coat of this system will severely hinder the coatings
performance and will require frequent repainting.
5.16 TANK BOTTOMS. Carbon steel API tank bottoms shall be coated per Albemarle
Spec. SP-15-2.
5.17 TANK FOUNDATIONS. The top of concrete foundations and ring walls of flat
bottom tanks shall be coated per Albemarle Spec. SP-15-2 unless specified otherwise.
5.18 WOOD.
Surface Preparation: See para. 2.4
Primer Coat: Stain Resistant Wood Primer
Top Coat: Acrylic Latex as applicable; coat as necessary.
5.21 NON-SKID. When non-skid coatings are desired for concrete walking surfaces, the
following is recommended:
Prep Material: DuraPrep Prep 100, Concrete Etch
Coating: PPG Anti-slip Safety Flooring, 1 coating epoxy, Heavy Pedestrian/Light
6. FIELD TOUCH-UP. Clean all exposed metal per SSPC-SP-1 and either SSPC-SP-2 or 3.
Spot prime exposed substrate and apply top coats of original system as specified per section
5.
Note: Costs to repair a coating system increase with the severity of damage. The above
schedule will minimize maintenance costs associated with painting over the life of the plant
and equipment. Premature failure of a coating system or top coat requires review of
environment and application of top coat, see para. 5.1
7.1 TOUCH-UP. Clean all rust spots and exposed metal per SSPC-SP-1 and either
SSPC-SP-2 or 3. Spot prime exposed metal and apply top coats of original system
where needed.
7.2 MAINTENANCE REPAINT. Clean entire surface area per SSPC-SP-1. Prepare all
rust spots, peeling, or chipped areas per SSPC-SP-2 or 3. Spot prime exposed metal
with surface tolerant epoxy or appropriate coating for application. Top coat entire
surface per recommendations outlined in section 5.
7.3 FULL REPAINT AND FIELD APPLIED COATINGS. Clean and prepare entire
surface area and coat per appropriate system as outlined in section 5.
8. COLOR CODING. OSHA regulations require only the use of the red and yellow safety
colors. Safety green although not required by OSHA shall be used at Albemarle facilities for
the identification of safety and first aid equipment. The other safety colors may be used at
Albemarle locations depending on local conditions and preference. A summary of the
standard safety colors and their designated uses are as follows:
8.1.1 Fire Lines and Equipment. All fire protection equipment and apparatuses.
Galvanized surfaces should be coated per Para. 5.18.
8.1.2 Danger: Safety cans or other portable containers (excluding shipping containers)
for flammable liquids having a flash point at or below 80F TOC, danger signs.
8.1.3 Stop: Emergency stop bars on hazardous machines, and stop buttons or electrical
switches for emergency stopping of machinery.
8.2 ORANGE. For designating dangerous parts of machines or energized equipment which
may cut, crush, shock or otherwise injure and to emphasize such hazards when
enclosure doors are open or when gear, belt or other guards around moving equipment
are open or removed exposing unguarded hazards.
8.3 YELLOW. For designating caution and for marking physical hazards such as: striking
against, stumbling, falling, tripping and "caught in between." Solid yellow, yellow and
black stripes, yellow and black checkers (or yellow with suitable contrasting
background) should be used interchangeably, using the combination which will attract
the most attention in the particular environment.
8.4 GREEN. For designating the location of first aid equipment (other than fire-fighting
equipment or safety showers).
8.5 BLUE. For water lines and designating caution. Limited to warning against the
starting of, the use of, or the movement of equipment under repair or being worked
upon.
8.6 PURPLE. For designating radiation hazards. Yellow should be used in combination
with purple for markers such as tags, labels, signs, and floor markers.
8.7 BLACK & WHITE. Black, white, or a combination of shall be the basic colors for the
designation of traffic and housekeeping markings. Solid white, solid black, single color
striping, alternate strips of black and white, or black and white checkers should be used
in accordance with local conditions.
Note: A coatings manufacturer's representative may be consulted for large projects to improve schedule and cost.
Alternative coatings may be substituted provided the alternative meets or exceed the specifications and performance
criteria of those coatings referenced above. Approval by plant maintenance or engineering is required for use of
alternative coatings.
