Mixing the Coating Flashcards
The mixing of industrial coatings is related to the expected service life. True or False?
True.
IOZ powder should be ___ prior to adding to any coating mixture.
Sifted
Each coating component should be mixed separately before combining, then ___ ___.
Mixed again after.
Document the addition of any ___ to a coating.
Thinner
Document the addition of any ___ to a coating.
Thinner
Mixing should be performed at slow speed so a vortex does not?
Pull air into the mixture.
The length of time spent mixing should be?
Documented
The time mixing ends should be recorded for each unit. True or False?
True.
Tip: Write the time on each can lid, then replace the lid.
Ensure the mixer observed the proper ___ ___ before adding any mixture to the pump reservoir.
Induction Time.
Ensure the coating is applied within its?
Pot life.
Liquid coatings are applied via?
Brush, roller, spray, dip, and flow methods.
The most common application methods are?
Brush, Roller, and Spray.
If certified applicators are required by the specification the CI should?
Confirm the applicators are certified.
Disposable ___ ___ brushes are the most common type of brushes for industrial coatings.
Hog Bristle.
Disposable brushes are used because once they are exposed to ___ ___ coatings they cannot be recleaned.
Chemically cured coatings.
Industrial coatings use brushes to ___ ___ welds, edges, and inside corners, as well as areas where spray guns cannot reach.
Stripe coat.
Brush applied coating will not look like sprayed coating, now will it leave a uniformly ___ coating on the surface.
Even
Brush coats tend to need two coats to equal?
One spray applied coat.
Brushes are the best choice for applying coating to ___ ___, such as welds or on pitted steel.
Rough surfaces.
Applicators can use the brush to work the coating into the small voids that ___ or ___ application would bridge over.
Roller or Spray
Brushes are ideal for applying coatings to ___ since the force of spray application can blow the coating off the surface.
Edges.
One type of roller which has no 1___ is used to apply 2___ ___ coatings.
- Cover
2. Non-skid
Rollers can also be used for?
Stripe Coating.
Inspectors should realize that different application methods produce __ ___ results.
Visually different results.
Most manufactures of coatings design for brush/roller application supply ___ ___ ___ with their coatings.
Slow evaporating thinners.
The basic principle of spray application is to transform a 1___ of ___ into very small 2___. then deposit them on the surface.
Airless spray does this by using very high pressure to for the liquid through a very small hole.
- Stream of liquid.
2. Droplets.
The conventional spray method sprays material though a hole (larger than the airless orifice) at much lower pressure, then breaks it up using a 2___ of ___. (aka 2___)
- Stream of air.
2. Atomizing.
Several other types of spray equipment work by works by the same transformation of droplets. Examples include:
- ___ ___ ___ ___ units. (HVLP)
- Air assisted ___ equipment.
- High volume low-pressure units.
2. Air assisted, Airless equipment. (A combo of airless and conventional equipment. )
The most commonly used application method for residential, commercial or industrial jobs?
Airless Spray
With airless spray a 1___ pump pulls material from a container and forces it through a high pressure line at up to 2____ psi, which pushes it through an orifice on the end of the gun breaking it into very small droplets.
- Piston Pump.
2. 9000 psi.
An airless spray gun has no controls on it except for a simple __/__ trigger.
On/off.
Pulling the trigger releases the full force and volume of the paint.
When working around airless spray equipment be aware of the very 2___ ___ and the hazard of 2___ injury.
- High pressure.
2. Injection
The coating comes out of an airless spray tip at around __ or higher.
3,500 Psi
With pressures found in Airless spray equipment, even a leak around a fitting can inject coating?
Under the skin.
Be wary of any airless pump, hose and gun setup that does not look?
Well maintained.
Insure the pressure rating of all downstream fittings on an airless system does not exceed maximum limits. If the fitting is not rated for the required pressures it may?
Explode.
