1-Coating & Lining

What is a Coating?

A coating is a film of material applied to surfaces subject to the environment but not necessarily subject to immersion service

What is a Lining?

A lining is a film material applied to interior and exterior surfaces subject to immersion.

Major components of a Coating

Pigment Binder Solvent Additive

-Hiding -Film formation -Application -To improve

-Corrosion resistance -Chemical resistance -Drying/Curing paint properties

Why we use Coatings? For protection against corrosion. For protection against fouling. For aesthetic appeal. For adding value to the coated object. For enhancing the life of the coated object. Many owners use coatings for projecting the image of

the company.

Causes

- Removal of coating by detachment, mechanical forces.

- Low film thickness.

- Inadequate surface preparation before coating application.

- Poor coating performance, incorrect selection.

Coating life time exceeded

Remedial Action

- Scrape off rust scale and loose coatings.

- Prepare corroded areas to achieve the required standard.

Power tool / Hydro blast / Grit blast

- Feather edges of intact coatings and abrade overlap area.

- Patch prime and apply touch-up of finish.

CORROSION

BLISTERING

Liquid OR Gas exerts a pressure on coating greater than adhesional strength

causing localised detachment.

Coating stretches to form hemispherical blister(s). Once internal pressure exceeds

coating strength, the coating will rupture leading to holiday in coating.

BLISTERING Cause

- Solvent entrapment due to excessive coating thickness

- Solvent entrapment due to premature over coating

- Osmotic blistering due to soluble salts (paint or substrate)

- Electroendosmosis (Cathodic over protection)

- Low film thickness

- Air entrapment

- Premature exposure to water

Remedial Action

- Scrape open blisters, chasing back to a firm edge

- Fresh water wash to remove contamination

- Prepare corroded areas to achieve the required standard.

- Feather edges of intact coatings to give smooth overlap

- Patch prime and apply finish as appropriate

DETACHMENT

Delamination of coatings or entire scheme from undercoat

DETACHMENT

Causes

- Surface contamination on substrate prior to o/c:

Oil / Grease / Salts / Rust / Water

- Incorrect surface preparation:

Shot vs. Grit vs. Hydro Blasting profiles

- Cure conditions prior to over coating:

Temperature / Ventilation / UV Exposure

- Maximum over coating intervals exceeded

Build-up of coatings leading to internal stress

Remedial Action

- Scrape off loose scale and coating(s)

- Fresh water wash affected areas

- Prepare areas of corrosion to required standard

- Patch prime and apply touch-up of finish as appropriate

SAGGING & RUNS

Downward movement of paint on vertical surfaces during drying process.

SAGGING & RUNS

Causes

- Coating applied at excessive wet film thickness

- Too much thinner added

- Paint incompletely mixed prior to application

Remedial Action

1. Allow paint to dry to a hard finish

2. Remove runs with sandpaper to produce a smooth surface and

provide a mechanical key.

3. Re-apply finish, ensuring thin areas above runs are also

recoated so that specified film thickness is achieved

CRACKING Hairline / Checking / Crazing / Mud

Hairline fine surface cracks that occur erratically and at random

Checking As above, but give a uniform pattern

Crazing Similar to checking, but go deeper and are broader

Cracking Breakdown penetrates to substrate, corrosion and detachment

Mud Cracks penetrate to substrate and form unform pattern. (ZnSilicates)

Cracking Hairline Mud Cracking

Causes / Remedial Action

Checking / Crazing:

Stress in coating surface

Cracking:

Caused by high internal stress within the coating system

- Thermal cycling: Coating specification

- Wet / dry cycling: Coating specification

- Incorrect systems applied: thermosets over thermoplastics

- Loss of plasticiser from the film

- Excessive paint thickness

- Incorrect surface preparation

CRACKING Hairline / Checking / Crazing / Mud

Cause / Remedial Action

Mud Cracking:

Generally only occurs with Zinc silicates

- Binder out of shelf life

- Coating over applied

- Humidity too low during application conditions

4-Importance of Stripe Coating (Practice)

Stripe coating

One of the most common reasons for using brush in marine industry is to apply a stripe coating to welds,

edges and corners.

Stripe coating is done for 2 reasons-

To apply additional material to the edges so that the finished film on edges meets the required DFT.

To fill small voids and roughness in the weld seam.

Stripe coating

Where difficult access with spray Profiles Inside edges Holes, notches Corners, angles Sharp edges Manual welding seams

Stripe coat with paint brush:

All these areas are difficult to built up by spray.

Stripe coating

Use a good quality paint brush

Work the paint well into the substrate to wet the substrate

properly

Welds, edges, notches and areas difficult to reach by spray

must be stripe coated

Using contrasting color helps identification and inspection.

Stripe coating. Stripe coating is a time

consuming job

Often a poor quality paint brush is used

Lack of knowledge or available time for doing a

good paint job

The paint is not worked well into the substrate.

Missing stripe coating can lead to pre-mature failure

Holidays seen. The paint must be worked

properly with several strokes for

good wetting.

Examples-Poor Stripe coating

Stripe coating of a corner in a tank

Weld has been blasted Uneven film partly with sags,

partly too thin

Holidays in rough weld Poor steelwork

Stripe coating applied too thin

5-Methods of Application

Coating application Cleanliness and good housekeeping before,

during and after application are one of the most

important factors to have a good result

This site is a disaster.

Methods of application

In order to paint complex structures in PC industry, different method of application are used.

Brush Application

Advantages- Good wetting on the substrate. Good for stripe coating on inaccessible surfaces. Forces the paint better than a roller on bare steel.

Limitations

Slower production rates.

Low film built.

Requires applicator skills.

Roller application Advantages Faster method of application compared to brush. Good on areas with poor accessibility. For e.g.-Back of bars.

Good selection of roller gives good results For e.g.- Thin rollers with glossy finishes

Disadvantages

Not suitable for application on bare steel.

May incorporate pinholes and voids.

Poor wetting on weld seams.

Low film built, many coats required.

Brush Vs Roller

Roller unable to wet the profile on a blasted surface.

Note- Roller should not be used on a blasted surface.

Brush able to wet the roughness on a blasted surface.

Airless spray Application.

Typical Airless spray system Pump

Filter Gun

Paint

The airless pump siphons paint from a

container and propels it, under high

pressure, through a filter and to a

gun

where it is atomized and directed to

the

part.

Compressed air is required only to operate the pump and not to atomize

the

paint.

Airless spraying

Paint is subjected to very high pressure using the airless pump

This high pressure paint is forced through a very small diameter spray tip in the gun

On releasing, the pressure changes to atmospheric pressure producing a spray pattern and paint atomization

6-Application techniques and Good painting practice

Airless Vs Conventional Spray

On internal surfaces no visible bounceback

indicates easy-to-control spray for improved first-

pass coverage.

On internal surfaces particles mixed with air

rebound and fail to cover corners and recesses.

Conventional Spray

Airless spray

On external surfaces soft spray creates little or no

overspray for minimal waste and cleaner, safer

operating environment.

Airless Vs Conventional Spray

On external surfaces turbulent air spray

creates excessive overspray and high material waste.

Airless spray

Conventional spray

Airless spray

Advantages

Fast application. Higher production rates High film built possible. No bounce back or

overspray

High solid and high performance coatings can be applied

Airless spray application is a very fast way of applying paint

Spray application ensures a high production rate

Working in groups may speed up the process even further

A good result depends on the skills of the applicator:

Keep the spray gun at a correct

distance from the object

Do not tilt the gun too much

Release the trigger before stopping the

stroke Show movie

Application with Airless Spray gun.

Stroke and triggering

Start moving the spray gun before pulling the trigger

Structure

Release trigger before

stopping the

movement

Use smooth and

even strokes

Use as low

pressure as

possible to

obtain a

homogenous fan

Airless Spray-Application

Techniques

Maintain correct distance between spray gun and substrate

Maintain 90 angle Correct overlapping (50% Cross application).

Techniques

Airless Spray-Application Techniques

The distance should be between 30 and 60 cm.

The optimal distance will vary, among other things with wind, temperature, pressure at the nozzle and viscosity of the paint .

Long distance between spray gun and object will lead to Dry spray and Surface roughness

Overlap strokes by 50% for uniform film build

Airless Spray-Application techniques

Before application Mask items that should not be

coated.

Stripe coat weld seams, edges, brackets etc.

Spray complex areas first to achieve required

film built

Airless spray-Application tips

Important tips- Use correct spray distance and

angle

Use correct pump pressure Mix the paint properly. Always use right quantity of

thinner.

Use correct stroke while spraying Use correct nozzle size Use good lights

90 50 cm

Metal Correct spray dist&

angle

Pattern Size The mil thickness of the coating on the work piece is controlled by both the orifice size and the fan angle. Increase the orifice size, but leave the fan size the same and the thickness of paint will increase.

Spray Techniques Level Surfaces When spraying a level or horizontal surface,

always start on the near side of the part and

work to the far side of the part: this technique

allows the overspray to fall on the uncoated

work. Some gun tilt will be necessary.

Slender Parts When spraying slender parts, choose a spray

pattern that fits the part to be finished. When

using a vertical pattern, the spray speed must

be faster.

Round Parts Small cylinder shapes, like furniture legs,

Are best sprayed with a narrow spray pattern,

using three vertical strokes. A vertical pattern

and stroke can be used, but the gun

movement must be quicker to prevent sags

and runs.

Spray smaller or medium diameter cylinders

with lengthwise strokes. Spray large cylinders like

a flat vertical surface, only with shorter

strokes.

Tip Size Selection Recommended Tip Sizes for Various Materials (Refer PDS):

Difference in Tips Fan width

Coating Thickness

Pattern Size

The shape of the orifice determines fan angle and fan width. Under close examination, an airless tip has an elliptical shape (cats eye).

The elliptically shaped orifice will form a similar elliptically shaped spray pattern.

By turning the spray tip on the gun to the desired position, the airless tip also generates either a vertical or horizontal spray pattern. This action accommodates different work piece configurations where one pattern may be more effective than another.

Function of an Airless Spray Tip

Determines the fluid flow or amount of the coating applied

Creates back pressure in the line for an evenly atomized pattern

Creates the spray pattern - fan width

Gracos Numbering System

The last three digits (517) indicate the fan width and

the tips orifice (hole) size

In this example, double the first number (5) for the

minimum fan width (2x5 =

10 in. spray pattern) when

the gun is held 12 inches

from the surface.

The last two numbers (17) indicate the tip size (the

orifice or hole size) in

thousandths of an inch.

fan width = .017 orifice

Tip Size Selection Factors to Consider When Selecting a Tip

Material to be sprayed Spray pump capacity Final finish required Painters experience level

How to choose the right tip for your jobs: Lower viscosity materials require a smaller orifice

Heavier bodied materials require a larger orifice

The type of job may also determine which tip to use:

Fine Finish for cabinets and trim

WideRAC tip for large areas where high production is

needed

Tip Size Selection

Q: Which tip puts out more paint

LTX-517 or LTX-317 ?

A: Each tip has the same size orifice and each allows

the same flow of materialapproximately 1.1 lpm.

The 517 tip sprays the paint in a larger area and the

mil build (thickness) is less than the 317 tip.

Tip Size and Mil Build

Tip Size Selection

OPERATOR MAINTENANCE

Regular Maintenance 1. Clean out the front of the tip

at least twice a day with a

solvent soaked brush to

keep material from building

up and clogging the tip.

2. Check the fluid filters

periodically. Clean or

replace filters as needed.

Shut Down

WARNING

Before servicing the tip or gun, and before

disassembling the gun, always shut off the

pump, trigger the gun, engage the trigger

safety and open the pump drain valve

(normally located below the filter) to relieve

pressure in the system. Disconnect the fluid

hose from the gun.

1. Relieve all fluid pressure in the system, and

soak only the tip of the gun in a compatible

solvent, or remove the entire fluid tip and soak it

in solvent.

Homogenous spray fan, without fingering

The distance to the object is good A spray fan with an angle in the range 60 to 80 degrees is quite common

when spraying flat, large areas.

Accessibility WRONG SCAFOLDING

CORRECT SCAFOLDING

Why correct application necessary? To save costs. To avoid material wastage and overconsumption. To get a final product in line with coating specification. To enhance coating quality. To enhance customer satisfaction.

Good painting practice

7-Material Handling

Paint handling at SY

Check packing condition after paint arrival

Use a well ventilated shelter for storage of paint

Paint shop

Coating operations are normally done in a Paint Shop

Paint shop can be typical shelters which allow coating application even under adverse conditions.

Note-Paint shop should be clean, well ventilated and easily accessible.

Opening the can

Remove all loose particles from the lid

Loosen the lid Lift the lid away from

the tin in such a

manner that the

contaminants do not

fall into the paint

Use a shelter for mixing and coating operations.

Paint Mixing

Always use mechanical agitator to ensure proper mixing

Proper mixing will not be achieved by a hand stirrer

A stirrer may also contain dirt and loose parts that may contaminate the paint and clog the spray equipment

Mix full packs when possible. If splitting the pack is required, use the correct ratio.

Mixing 2 component paints

Mix component A Slowly add component B while

mixing component A.

Empty component B completely

Thoroughly mix component A &B.

Always use mechanical stirrer. Some 2 pack paint need

induction time

Plural spray system

Pot life All two-pack material have a pot-life. This is

the time period between mixing and curing

when the paint is workable and can be

applied.

Pot-life is reduced when the temperature

increases and vice versa. (Check product

Datasheet.)

Never mix more paint than can be used before

pot life expires.

Never add thinner to extend the pot-life.

Exceeding pot-life will waste paint, and will block

up airless spray equipment.

Paint temperature The temperature of the mixed

base and hardener should be

> 15C

If the paint temperature is lower, then extra solvent is

required to thin the paint.

Too much thinner can cause sagging and/or low film build.

Note- Use heating bath under low temperature conditions instead of too much thinner.

Use thinners only when necessary

Always use the correct thinners for the product.

(confirm with Product datasheet).

Limit thinning to 5% by volume (maximum).

Over-thinning can cause :-

Solvent entrapment.

Runs, sags, slumping etc.

Inadequate cure of the film.

Reduced volume solids and applied dft

Thinning

8-Bad Painting Practice & Overconsumption

Waste of paint and/or overconsumption

Very poor application technique

Overconsumption

A prime reason for overconsumption is mixing more paint than required

Overconsumption

Using faulty equipment/ spray tips can lead to

overconsumption.

Overconsumption

Mixing many cans is a waste as the paint starts

to gel after expiry of pot

life.

Gelled paint cannot be thinned and re-used.

This is prime reason for overconsumption

Tips to avoid Overconsumption Personnel training Use correct application

techniques

Calculate quantities to be used as per total area of object to be coated Example-Drum distribution in dry-dock

Ensure good access to surface before coating

Avoid excessive paint mixing than required
