    SURFACE TREATMENT

    Paint systems
    Version: 1.1

    Last updated: 27/04/18

    Introduction
    Can we find a paint for all environments and surfaces?
    Different paints can be used to protect a variety of construction materials. No paint can be used in all
    environments!

    Factors influencing the selection of a paint system


    Customer’s expectation (durability)
    Service environment
    Availability of paint and/or other protective materials
    Substrate
    Structure design
    Surface preparation available
    Paint application methods available
    Ease of maintenance
    Cost
    Health, safety and environmental factors

    Customer Expectations
    Customers are usually concerned with corrosion and the durability of the asset with aesthetics normally
    not as important
    To meet their durability requirements coating system durability should be discussed
    According to ISO 12944-1 durability is defined as the expected life of a protective paint system to the first
    major maintenance painting
    Durability is not the same as a “guarantee” period

    Corrosivity of the Environment


    It is important to identify the corrosivity category of an environment since it will relate to:
    Corrosion rate of the building material
    Material selection of building products
    Selection of proper corrosion protection methods for the building materials
    ISO 12944-2 defines the classification of environments by corrosivity category

    Corrosivity Categories of Environment


    Corrosivity Categories of Environment – ISO 12944-2

    Atmospheric condition Immersion

    C1 Very low
    Im 1 Fresh water
    C2 Low

    C3 Medium
    Im 2 Sea or brackish water
    C4 High

    C5 Very high Im 3 Soil

    CX Extreme Im 4 Sea or brackish water

    Description of corrosivity categories


    C1 Very low
    Interior: Heated buildings with clean atmospheres, e.g. offices, shops, schools, hotels

    C2 Low
    Exterior: Atmospheres with low level of pollution. Mostly rural areas
    Interior: Unheated buildings where condensation may occur, e.g. depots, sports halls

    C3 Medium
    Exterior: Urban and industrial atmospheres, moderate sulfur dioxide pollution. Coastal areas with low
    salinity
    Interior: Production rooms with high humidity and some air pollution, e.g. food-processing plants,
    laundries, breweries, dairies

    C4 High
    Exterior: Industrial areas and coastal areas with moderate salinity
    Interior: Chemical plants, swimming pools, coastal ship- and boatyards

    C5- Very high


    Exterior: Industrial areas with high humidity and aggressive atmosphere and coastal areas with high
    salinity
    Interior: Buildings or areas with almost permanent condensation and with high pollution

    CX- Extreme
    Exterior: Offshore areas with high salinity and industrial areas with extreme humidity and aggressive
    atmosphere and subtropical and tropical atmospheres
    Interior: Industrial areas with extreme humidity and aggressive atmosphere

    Im1 Fresh water


    River installations, hydro-electric power plants

    Im2 Sea or brackish water

    Immersed structures without cathodic protection (e.g. harbor areas with structures like sluice gates,
    locks, jetties)

    Im3 Soil
    Buried tanks, steel piles, steel pipes

    Im4 Sea and brackish water


    Immersed structures with cathodic protection (e.g. offshore structures)

    Selecting a paint system according to ISO 12944-5


    ISO 12944-5 is an industrial standard which can be referenced to find a suitable system for new
    construction. There are lists of typical systems categorized by:
    Substrate (low-alloyed carbon steel, hot-dip galvanized steel and thermally sprayed steel)
    Corrosivity category (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, CX, Im1, Im2, Im3, Im4)
    Expected durability (low, medium and high)

    Build-up of a Paint System


    There are no “magic” paints that can do everything, hence, multi-layer systems are normal in most cases:
    Primer / Intermediate coat / Topcoat

    However, one coat system may also be specified:


    Paint is specially designed for a single coat
    Constant, mild environment
    Minor job such as maintenance
    Low expected durability

    Primers
    Primers are universal for most anticorrosive coating systems and are considered the most important component
    of the system. The most important properties of primers are listed as follows:
    Adhesion (strong bonding to substrate)
    Cohesion (high internal strength in the film)
    Intercoat adhesion (high bonding to intermediate coat)
    Appropriate flexibility

    Intermediate coats
    The principal purposes of an intermediate coat is to provide:
    Thickness for total coating system
    Strong chemical resistance
    Resistance to moisture vapor transfer
    Increase electrical resistance for the coating system
    Strong cohesion
    Strong bonding to primer and topcoat

    www.frosiobook.no Page 3 of 4 Printed 09/06/19 08:04:47


    Topcoats
    Topcoats also perform several important functions as they:
    Provide a resistant seal for the coating system
    Form the initial barrier towards the environment
    Provide resistance towards chemicals, water, and weather
    Provide a tough and wear-resistant surface
    Provide a pleasant appearance

    General rules – thickness of coating system


    Deciding factor is the environment:
    An example:
    In a dry inland atmosphere, and indoors 120 µm will be sufficient, while in a coastal environment, 250 -
    300 µm may be necessary to achieve the same number of years durability

    Number of coats is also of importance


    100 µm in 2 coats (50 + 50 µm) will give better protection than 100 µm in 1 coat

    Where can we find the properties of a paint?


    It is impossible to know all different paint products
    Technical data sheet (TDS) from supplier is a suitable source
    Information that may be found in a TDS or Application Guide:
    Product description
    Recommended use and typical paint system
    Film thickness and spreading rate
    Approvals
    Physical properties
    Surface preparation (methods and requirements)
    Application (ambient condition, methods, technical parameters)
    Drying time
    Brief HSE requirements (Refer SDS)
    Packing size

    Inspectors need to understand and be familiar with the technical data in TDS

    Environmental factors not covered in ISO 12944-2


    The Corrosivity categories in ISO 12944 do not cover all situations
    Some factors causing increased corrosion:
    Heat (high)
    Chemicals
    Stray current
    Mechanical stress
    To find proper paint systems for these environments is not easy
    We can always consult paint supplier and also confirm with pre-qualification testing
