SSPC-Paint 8, Aluminum Vinyl Paint

This specification covers a ready-to-mix aluminum vinyl chloride, acetate copolymer paint intended for use over vinyl butyral wash primer (SSPC-Paint 27), or as a finish coat over vinyl chloride-acetate copolymer paint such as SSPC-Paint 9. This paint is not intended or recommended for use over bare steel.

This paint is suitable for exposures in Environmental Zones 2C (fresh water immersion), 2D (salt water immersion), and 3B (chemical, neutral), and is intended primarily to be used as a finish coat in a system applied to blast cleaned (SSPC-SP 10) or pickled (SSPC-SP 8) steel. When used for salt water immersion, a wash primer is recommended. Because of the possibility of lifting of the undercoats, this paint is not intended to be used over types of paints which have poor solvent resistance. This paint is intended primarily for application by conventional air spray and is to be applied in accordance with SSPC-PA 1, Shop, Field, and Maintenance Painting of Steel.

SSPC-Paint 15, Steel Joist Shop Primer/Metal Building Primer

This specification covers a one coat shop-applied primer for open web and long span steel joist and joist girders and for cold formed steel framing, and primary and secondary structural framing for metal buildings. This coating is intended to provide temporary protection to the steel joist during delivery, storage on site, and erection in an atmosphere comparable with SSPC Environmental Zone 1, normally dry. This coating is intended to be used as a holding primer that may or may not be removed before or after erection or assembly in the field.

The specification does not address the formulation of the coating but covers the physical and performance characteristics of the coating.

Price: $25.00

SSPC-Paint 16, Coal Tar Epoxy Polyamide Black (or Dark Red) Coating

This specification covers a two-component coal tar epoxy-polyamide black (or dark red) paint for structural steel. It is self-priming and exhibits good adhesion to clean structural steel and concrete surfaces.

This paint is suitable for exposures in Environmental Zones 2A (frequently wet by fresh water), 2B (frequently wet by salt water), 2C (fresh water immersion), 2D (salt water immersion), 3A (chemical, acidic), 3B (chemical, neutral), and 3C (chemical, alkaline); and is intended for spray application over steel surfaces prepared in accordance with SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast Cleaning, or SSPC-SP 8, Pickling. It is to be applied in accordance with SSPC-PA 1, Shop, Field, and Maintenance Painting of Steel. The adhesion of the coating to smooth surfaces such as cold-rolled steel or intact mill scale has been found to be substantially inferior to that attained on blast roughened surfaces.

Price: $25.00

SSPC-Paint 17, Chlorinated Rubber Inhibitive Primer

This specification covers a fast drying chlorinated rubber inhibitive primer for use on steel surfaces or exterior non-submerged surfaces, as well as most submerged surfaces prior to being overcoated with additional chlorinated rubber coatings. When applied as a shop coat to steel expected to be exposed to normal weathering or mild chemical environments for more than 60 days, it is recommended that either an additional coat of primer be applied or that the next succeeding coat be applied in the shop. This coating is not recommended for areas exposed to strong organic solvents, oxidizing acids, or to areas where the surface temperature exceeds 165—F (74—C). Straight chain unsaturated acids, and fats and oils of animal or vegetable origin will cause softening and swelling of the coating.

This primer, when applied over properly prepared steel surfaces and coated with SSPC-Paint 18, Chlorinated Rubber Intermediate Coat Paint, and followed by at least one (optional) finish coat of SSPC-Paint 19, Chlorinated Rubber Topcoat Paint, is suitable for exposures in Environmental Zones 1A (interior, normally dry), 1B (exterior, normally dry), 2A (frequently wet by fresh water), 2B (frequently wet by salt water), 2C (fresh water immersion), 2D (salt water immersion), 3A (chemical, acid), 3B (chemical, neutral), and 3C (chemical, alkaline).

Steel surfaces shall be blast cleaned in accordance with SSPC-SP 6, Commercial Blast Cleaning, for atmospheric use or with SSPC-SP 10, Near-White Blast Cleaning, for immersion or heavy chemical use. Steel may also be prepared according to SSPC-SP 8, Pickling.

This primer is intended for application by brush, roller, or spray and is to be applied in accordance with SSPC-PA 1, Shop, Field, and Maintenance Painting of Steel.

If this coating is applied over alkyd- or oil-base enamels, there is the possibility of lifting, particularly on interior surfaces. A spot check is necessary to determine suitability. If lifting occurs, then a seal-coat, as recommended by the manufacturer, may be required. For immersion service, this coating should not be applied over alkyd or oil-base enamels.

SSPC-Paint 18, Chlorinated Rubber Intermediate Coat Paint

This specification covers a fast drying chlorinated rubber intermediate paint, available in white or tints, intended for use as either an intermediate coat or topcoat over a chlorinated rubber primer or other suitable primers. It has good durability when exposed to exterior environments but may show some tendency to chalk. This coating may be used on exterior nonsubmerged surfaces, as well as most submerged surfaces. This coating is not recommended for areas exposed to strong organic solvents, oxidizing acids, or areas where the surface temperature exceeds 165—F (74—C). Straight chain unsaturated acids and fats and oils of animal or vegetable origin will cause softening and swelling of the coating.

This coating, when applied over properly primed steel surfaces and followed by at least one (optional) finish coat of SSPC-Paint 19, Chlorinated Rubber Topcoat Paint, is suitable for exposures in Environmental Zones 1A (interior, normally dry), 1B (exterior, normally dry), 2A (frequently wet by fresh water), 2B (frequently wet by salt water), 2C (fresh water immersion), 2D (salt water immersion), 3A (chemical, acid), 3B (chemical, neutral), and 3C (chemical, alkaline).

This paint is intended for application by brush, roller, or spray and is to be applied in accordance with SSPC-PA 1, Shop, Field, and Maintenance Painting of Steel.

SSPC-Paint 19, Chlorinated Rubber Topcoat Paint

This specification covers a fast drying chlorinated rubber topcoat paint, available in white or tints, intended for use as either a topcoat or intermediate coat over a chlorinated rubber intermediate, chlorinated rubber primer, or another suitable primer. It has good durability when exposed to exterior environments, but may show some tendency to chalk. This coating may be used on exterior non-submerged surfaces, as well as most submerged surfaces. This coating is not recommended for areas exposed to strong organic solvents, oxidizing acids, or to areas where the surface temperature exceeds 165—F (74—C). Straight chain unsaturated acids, and fats and oils of animal or vegetable origin will cause softening and swelling of the coating.

This coating is suitable for exposures in Environmental Zones 1A (interior, normally dry), 1B (exterior, normally dry), 2A (frequently wet by fresh water), 2B (frequently wet by salt water), 2C (fresh water immersion), 2D (salt water immersion), 3A (chemical, acid), 3B (chemical, neutral), and 3C (chemical, alkaline).

This paint is intended for application by brush, roller, or spray and is to be applied in accordance with SSPC-PA 1, Shop, Field, and Maintenance Painting of Steel.

The preferred types of primers for use under this coating and on steel surfaces include chlorinated rubber (SSPC-Paint 17), modified chlorinated rubber, chemically cured epoxy, zinc-rich, and others specifically recommended by the manufacturer. Recoat of each primer should conform to the manufacturer's directions. Where a zinc-rich primer is used and the system is considered for water-immersion services, a seal coat between the primer and this intermediate coat may be required to eliminate blistering.
