2. Protect work of other trades against damage from coating operation. Correct damage by cleaning, repairing, replacing, and recoating, as approved by the Contracting Officer, and leave in an undamaged condition. At completion of construction activities of other

Section 09 96 00 – Page 4 of 7 trades, touch up and restore damaged or defaced coated surfaces.

3. Provide forced ventilation for interior spaces during application and drying of coatings to prevent the buildup of toxic or explosive concentrations of solvent vapors.

4. Provide fire extinguishers of the required quantity and correct type to combat flammable liquid fires.

5. Dispose of rags that are used to wipe up coating materials, solvents, and thinners by drenching with water and placing them in a covered metal container.

B. Cleaning:

1. At end of each workday, remove rubbish, empty cans, rags, and other discarded materials from Project site.

2. After completing coating application, clean spattered surfaces. Remove spattered coatings by washing, scraping, or other methods. Do not scratch or damage adjacent finished surfaces.

3. Clean application equipment promptly and thoroughly with a suitable solvent after each use and stored in a clean, covered, well-ventilated container.

C. Concrete Surfaces:

1. Conform to MPI ASM for substrates indicated. Remove plates, machined surfaces, and similar items already in place that are not to be coated. Provide surface-applied protection before surface preparation and coating where removal is impractical or impossible. After completing coating operations, reinstall items that were removed.

2 Clean dirt, oil, grease, and incompatible paints from substrates to ensure bonding.

Coordination of shop-applied prime coats with high-performance coatings is critical.

Remove incompatible primers. Reprime substrate with compatible primers as required to produce coating systems indicated.

3. Concrete Substrates:

a. Remove release agents, curing compounds, efflorescence, and chalk. Maximum allowable moisture content of concrete is 12 percent. Measure moisture content with an electronic moisture meter.

b. Clean surfaces with pressurized water. Use pressure range of 1500 to 4000 psi at 6 inches to 12 inches.

c. Comply with SSPC 7/NACE No.4 (NACE No. 4), "Brush-Off Blast Cleaning" for abrasive cleaning.

D. Steel Substrates:

1. Remove rust and loose mill scale. Clean using methods recommended in writing by coating manufacturer. Conform to SSPC 7/NACE No.4 for blast cleaning.

E. Galvanized-Metal Substrates:

1. Remove grease and oil residue from galvanized sheet metal fabricated from coil stock by mechanical methods to produce clean, lightly etched surfaces that promote adhesion of subsequently applied coatings.

F. Aluminum Substrates:

1. Remove surface oxidation.

G. Coating Material Preparation:

1. Mix and prepare coating materials in accordance with the coating manufacturer's printed instructions for applying the particular material and coat. Keep materials which are not in actual use in closed containers.

2. Coating materials that have been mixed with an automatic shaker are allowed to stand to let air bubbles escape, then given a final hand mixing before application. Stir materials so as to produce a mixture of uniform density. Stir at frequent intervals during application to prevent skinning. Do not stir film which may form on the surface of the material. Remove film and strain, if necessary.

H. Thinning: Thinning is done in accordance with coating manufacturer's printed directions for the particular material and coat.

Section 09 96 00 – Page 5 of 7

I. Tinting: Ensure prime and intermediate coats of paint are slightly different tints from the finish coat to facilitate identification of each coat. Tinting is done by the coating manufacturer and clearly identified as to color and coat.

3.2 APPLICATION

A. Do not perform exterior painting in damp or rainy weather. Interior painting is not allowed until the building is enclosed and has thoroughly dried out. Painting is not allowed below 10 degrees C 50 degrees F or above 35 degrees C 95 degrees F. Apply paint in accordance with the coating manufacturer's recommendations, and as specified.

B. Ensure coating application is done by skilled applicators. Apply coatings to clean and properly prepared surfaces. Apply coatings with clean, high-quality application equipment. Allow sufficient time between coats to ensure complete drying and curing. Sand and dust surfaces between coatings, as required, to produce a surface free of visible defects. Lightly sand high gloss coatings and clear finishes between coats to ensure bond of following coats.

C. Apply coats to the surfaces in an even film. Cloudiness, spotting, holidays, laps, application marks, runs, sags, and other similar surface imperfections are not acceptable. Remove defective coating applications and re-coat as directed.

D. Ensure coating lines such as wainscots are sharp, true, and well-defined. Tape may be used to establish coating lines, providing tape is removed before ragging or sawtooth edges form.

E. Ensure surfaces, including edges, corners, crevices, welds, and other similar changes in surface plane, meet the dry-film thickness not less than specified.

F. Apply coatings to supporting beam and concrete surface to create secondary containment beneath the diesel engine.

G. Apply coatings to existing concrete diesel storage tank and re-label to match existing notifications.

H. Brush Application: Use clean, proper size brushes for high-quality application of the specified coating materials. Brush out slow-dry coatings. Brush out quick-dry coatings only enough to spread out evenly.

I. Roller Application: Use clean roller covers of the proper nap length, nap texture, and material for high-quality application of the specified coating materials. Ensure roller application is equivalent in all respects to the same coats applied by high-quality brush application.

J. Spray Application: Spray application of coatings is limited to finish coats on metal frame works, siding, decking, wire mesh, and other surfaces where hand work would be inferior. Apply spray coatings as equivalent in all respects to the same coats applied by high quality brush application.

Permit each spray coat to cure before the succeeding coat is applied. Do not double back with application equipment, for the purpose of building up film thickness of two coats in one operation.

Cover surfaces adjacent to sprayed areas to prevent damage from overspray, coating rebound, and spray drift.

3.3 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

A. Field Test: Government may take dry-film tests from time to time on finished surfaces. Apply additional coatings to surfaces where there is less than the minimum specified dry-film thickness.

Section 09 96 00 – Page 6 of 7

B. Repairing: Remove damaged and unacceptable portions of completed work and replace with new work to match adjacent surfaces at no additional cost to the Government.
