Week 2 Quiz Flashcards
The two broad classification for curing mechanisms are
convertible and non-convertible
the two non-convertible coating types are
chlorinated rubber and vinyl
the primary convertible coating curing mechanisms are
Oxidation, Co-reaction (polymerization), Hydration, and Fusion
The characteristics of oxidation cure coatings are
Not suitable for immersion service.
Not suitable for use over alkaline substrates.
Limited dry film thickness per coat.
List the coating types that cure by polymerization
Epoxies Polyurethanes Polyureas Polyaspartics Polysiloxanies
Induction time is
The time required by the product data sheet (coatings manufacturer) between mixing the coating and the start of application.
What is the main requirement for a hydrolysis coating to cure?
Moisture
Industrial and marine coatings are commonly referred to by
Generic resin type
Oil based coatings applied over alkaline surfaces may result in
Saponification
List the formal sections usually contained in a good specification
Scope of work Terms and Conditions Reference standards and codes Safety Pre-job conference Surface preparation Coating Materials (includes the coating schedule) Sampling Coatings Workmanship Application Work Schedule (sequence of work to be done) Repairs and remedial coating work Inspection Documentation
What are two of the inspector’s responsibilities as it relates to the specification?
Verify the specification and not to make changes to the specification.
During the surface preparation, surface cleanliness should be inspected (as minimum) the following three times:
Before any surface preparation activities.
After surface preparation, before coating begins.
Between each application of coating in a multi-coat system.
Factors during surface preparation that may effect service life include:
Residues of oil, grease, and soil Residues of (non-visible) chemical salts Rust on the surface Loose or broken mill scale Rust scale Anchor pattern Defects mechanical cleaning equipment Surface condensation Old coatings that may have poor adhesion or may be too deteriorated for recoating Existing coatings that may be incompatible
Common design defects include
Hard-to-reach or inaccessible areas
Rivets, bolts, or other connectors
Welds
Gaps (particularly skip welds or surfaces close together)
Overlapping surfaces (e.g., roof plates in water tanks)
Angle iron badly oriented or in complex arrangements
Threaded areas
Dissimilar metals
Sharp edges, particularly on corners or rough cut plate
Construction aids
Common fabrication defects include
Weld Spatter
Skip Welds
Rough Welds
Sharp Corners & Edges
SSPC SP1 pre-cleaning methods include:
Solvent wipe with cloth or rag Immersion or the substrate in solvent Solvent spray Vapor degreasing Steam cleaning Emulsion cleaning Chemical Paint Stripping Use of alkaline cleaners
