3. REQUIREMENTS.

3.1 General Requirements.

3.1.1 All paint application shall applied in compliance with

reference (a) as reinforced and supplemented by this specification.

3.1.2 Comply with the manufacturers' printed recommendations

and instructions for all aspects of handling, mixing, and application of the paint materials.

3.1.3 All paint shall be delivered to the jobsite in

original, unopened containers with labels intact. All containers shall remain unopened until required for use. Each container of paint shall be clearly marked or labeled to show paint identification, date of manufacture, batch number, analysis of contents, identification of all toxic substances, and special instructions.

3.1.4 Paint shall be used before its shelf life has expired.

If a paint has no stated shelf life or is more than one year old, the manufacturer must certify in writing that the paint is suitable for use.

3.1.5 All coating thicknesses are stated in dry film

thickness (DFT). All dry film thickness determinations shall be performed in accordance with reference (b).

3.1.6 Coatings shall be applied only when the following

conditions are maintained:

a. Apply paint only to dry surfaces and when there is no chance of precipitation until after the paint has cured. The steel surface temperature shall be at least five degrees Fahrenheit above the dew point. The dew point can be presumed to be satisfactory if a thin, clearly defined film of water applied to the cleaned surface with a damp cloth evaporates within 15 minutes. Otherwise, the dew point shall be measured prior to painting by taking the dry-bulb temperature of the surface and the wet-bulb temperature at the jobsite.

b. The air temperature and surface temperature must both be a minimum of 45 degrees Fahrenheit at all times, unless a lower temperature is specifically authorized by the paint manufacturer's printed instructions.

c. Painting is permitted only when the humidity is less than 95 percent.

d. When paint must be applied in damp or cold weather, the steel must be painted under cover and the surrounding air and the steel heated to establish the required conditions. The steel

PAGE 32 OF 152 1333MF23QNFFM0005

AUGUST 2002

shall remain under cover or be protected until dry or until weather conditions permit its exposure.

3.1.7 Each coat of paint shall be in a proper state of cure

or dryness before the application of the succeeding coat. Paint shall be considered dry for recoating when an additional coat can be applied without the development of any detrimental film irregularities, such as lifting, wrinkling, or loss of adhesion of the undercoat. The time interval between coating applications shall be in compliance with the manufacturer's printed instructions.

3.1.8 All paint materials shall be furnished by the

Contractor and shall be applied using spray equipment, unless otherwise specified. When applying touch-up coatings to small areas disturbed by other work, brushes and rollers may be used.

3.1.9 Comply with and enforce all safety and environmental

protection regulations relative to removal, disposal, mixing, and application of paints and other materials.

3.1.10 Mask, tape, cover, and otherwise protect all equipment, machinery, cables, piping, insulation, glass, furnishings, and other government materials from damage, overspray and contamination. Remove and reinstall parts and loose gear as necessary to avoid damage.

3.1.11 Plug, wrap, blank, cover, or mask all openings as

needed to prevent entry of blast materials into the ship or boat and to confine blast materials inside the compartment being sandblasted. Install industrial foam filter materials on the intake and exhaust of ventilation systems which will be in use.

Renew filter materials when air flow becomes restricted.

3.1.12 When surface preparation and coating of a compartment

or surface is specified, included shall be all plating, frames, longitudinals, beams, stiffeners, brackets, baffles, and other structural steel members. Steel ladders in tanks, voids, and cofferdams are also to be included.

3.1.13 Surface preparation and paint application of shell

plating and frames below the Load Waterline shall be accomplished only while the ship is in drydock, unless otherwise and specifically authorized.

3.1.14 Where colors are not specified in this specification, the color for coatings shall be as specified in other procurement documents or specifications. Where colors are not specified elsewhere, the colors shall be selected by the COTR or other NOAA representative responsible for acceptance of the work.
