Surface Preparations

Newbuilding
Where necessary, remove weld spatter and smooth weld seams and sharp edges. Weld seams and areas of shop primer damage or breakdown should be blast cleaned to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or power tooled to Pt3 (JSRA SPSS:1984). Intact, approved, shop primers must be clean, dry and free from soluble salts and any other surface contaminants. Unapproved shop primers will require complete removal by blast cleaning to Sa2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007). In some cases, sweep blasting to a defined International Paint standard (eg AS2 or AS3) may be acceptable. 

Major Refurbishment
Abrasive blast clean to Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007). If oxidation has occurred between blasting and application of Intergard 7600, the surface should be re-blasted to the specified visual standard. Any surface defects that are revealed by the blast cleaning process, should be ground, filled, or treated in the appropriate
manner.
