This specification covers a two-component basic zinc chromate-vinyl butyral wash primer for structural steel surfaces prior to painting. It is intended that this coating be used primarily on clean steel free of rust and scale or on clean galvanized metal cleaned according to SSPC-SP 1, "Solvent Cleaning"; but it may be used, when specified, on steel with very slight amounts of ...

This specification covers an ambient temperature curing, two-component water-borne epoxy coating for steel that is intended for use as a primer of a multicoat waterborne epoxy or other coating system. Primer coatings are categorized according to performance levels (Sections 2.3, 6, and 7). Properly topcoated primers meeting this specification are suitable for exposures in Envir...

This specification covers highly pigmented primers that contain zinc dust as the major pigment component (minimum 50% by weight in the dry film) and are defined by their ability to galvanically protect ferrous substrates. The vehicle type may be inorganic (Type I) or organic (Type II). Each primer type (I and II) is classified according to the level of exterior performance at a...

This specification covers highly pigmented primers that contain zinc dust as the major pigment component (minimum 65% by weight in the dry fi lm) and are defined by their ability to protect ferrous substrates. The vehicle type may be inorganic (Type I) or organic (Type II). Each primer type (I and II) is classified according to the level of exterior performance at a severe mari...

1. Scope1.1 This specification covers a group of inorganic zinc primers which can protect steel during the fabrication process, permit welding to specification requirements, and be overcoated.1.2 The major pigment component in this coating is zinc dust, and the binder is inorganic.1.3 This specification defines the minimum compositional and laboratory performance requirements f...

1. Scope1.1 This specification covers an air-drying, ready-mixed, pigmented, waterborne (i.e., water-reducible) alkyd or modified alkyd pigmented primer for blast cleaned steel. It is intended as the first coat of a waterborne coating system consisting of one or two coats of this primer and one or two coats of a waterborne topcoat.1.2 This primer is suitable for exposures in En...

1. Scope1.1 This specification covers a coal tar emulsion coating to be used as a protective weather coat for hot or cold applied bituminous coatings on steel structures. It may also be used over suitable primers as a protective coating for above-ground steel structures subjected to atmospheric exposure in industrial areas.1.2 This coating is suitable for use as a topcoat over ...

1. Scope1.1 This specification covers a cold applied coal tar coating for use on underground and underwater steel structures.1.2 INTENDED USE: This coating is suitable for use on structures exposed in Environmental Zones 2A (frequently wet by fresh water), 2B (frequently wet by salt water), 2C (fresh water immersion), 2D (salt water immersion), 3B (chemical exposure neutral), a...

1. Scope1.1 This specification covers an ambient-cured, twocomponent water-borne epoxy coating that is intended for use as a finish coat in multicoat water-borne epoxy systems for steel.1.2 Topcoats are categorized according to performance levels (Sections 2.3, 6, and 7).1.3 Topcoats meeting this specification, when used with an appropriate primer, are suitable for exposures in...
