SURFACE PREPARATION
WARNING! Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means
may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. Exposure to lead dust
or fumes may cause brain damage or other adverse health effects,
especially in children or pregnant women. Controlling exposure to
lead or other hazardous substances requires the use of proper
protective equipment, such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH
approved) and proper containment and cleanup. For more
information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-
LEAD (in US) or contact your local health authority.
Preparation
To ensure proper adhesion, all surfaces must be clean, dry, and free
form dirt, wax, grease, oil, chalk, mildew and loose or peeling paint.
Nail holes, cracks and other surface imperfections should be properly
filled, sanded smooth and dusted clean. All mildew and mold must
be completely and thoroughly removed. Glossy surfaces must be
sanded and dusted clean. Always wear a properly selected and fitted
NIOSH/MSHA approved dust mask or respirator when sanding.
Ferrous Metal
Remove all rust by hand tool cleaning per SSPC-SP2 and remove oil
and grease by solvent cleaning per SSPC-SP1. For best performance
use commercial blast cleaning per SSPC-SP6 with a sharp, angular
abrasive. Prime bare steel within 8 hours or before flash rusting
occurs.
Galvanized Metal
Allow to weather for 6 months and solvent clean per SSPC-SP1. If
weathering is not possible or surface has been treated with
chromates or silicates, solvent clean per SSPC-SP1 and apply a test
area. Test adhesion after one-week dry time. If adhesion is poor,
brush blast per SSPC-SP7. At minimum, rusty galvanizing should be
hand tool cleaned per SSPC-SP2, followed by same day painting. No
primer necessary.
Aluminum
Remove all corrosion by hand tool cleaning per SSPC-SP2 and remove
oil and grease by solvent cleaning per SSPC-SP1. No primer necessary.
Masonry, Plaster, Aggregate Block (allow to cure for 30 days)
Remove all surface contamination by washing with an appropriate
cleaner. Allow concrete, mortar and plaster to cure for 30 days at
75°F. Brick must weather one year. Remove any loose mortar, dust
and contamination per SSPC-SP13. Remove form release
compounds a
nd curing membranes by brush blasting. No primer
