SSPC-SP1: A method in which solvents such as water, mineral spirits, xylol, toluol
etc., are used to remove solvent-soluble foreign matter from the surface of ferrous
metals. Rags and solvents must be replenished frequently to avoid spreading the
contaminant rather than removing it. Low-pressure (1500 - 4000 psi) high volume
(3-5 gal/min) water washing with appropriate cleaning chemicals is a recognized
"solvent cleaning" method. SSPC-SP2: A mechanical method of surface
preparation involving wire brushing, scraping, chipping, and sanding. Not the most
desirable method of surface preparation but can be used for mild exposure
conditions. Optimum performance of protective coatings should not be expected
when hand tool cleaning is employed. SSPC-SP3: A mechanical method of surface
preparation widely used in the industry and involving the use of power sanders,
wire brushes, power chipping hammers, abrasive grinding wheels, needle guns etc.
Although usually more effective than hand tool cleaning, it is not considered
adequate for use under severe exposure conditions or for immersion applications.
Exterior Coaling System: Will be from the Sherwin Williams Company or Tnemec.
Coaling pages shall be provided upon request. 1) Spot Primer: Modified Poly-
Amidoamine Epoxy, Off-White in color and applied at Four to Eight (4-8) mils dry
film thickness. 2) Intermediate Coat: Industry Approved Acrylic Polymer Coatings,
Owner’s Choice of Colors and applied at Two-Four (2-4) mils dry film thickness. 3)
