If contamination in excess of this level is found, additional tests shall be performed as necessary to determine the extent of contamination and to prove the success of remediation. 7.8.2 DFT readings of the prior coat of paint shall be presented to the MSC Port Engineer at the time of inspection for coating. Spot readings shall be taken at a rate of five per 1,000 square feet. DFT gages shall be calibrated, spot readings shall be taken and DFT tolerances shall be in accordance with Ref. 2.5, SSPC-PA2, Measurement of Dry Coating Thickness With Magnetic Gages. 7.8.3 The following conditions must be met prior to coating application: 7.8.3.1 Surfaces shall be clean, dry and free of oil, grease or residue from surface preparation. 7.8.3.2 The metal substrate appearance meets the definition of WJ-2 as defined in SSPC-SP12/NACE 5, SSPC-SP10/NACE 2 and/or SSPC-SP11 as applicable. 7.8.3.3 Air and substrate temperatures shall be within the range published by the paint manufacturer. 7.8.3.4 The ambient air and substrate temperatures register at least 5o F. above the dewpoint temperature. 7.8.3.5 The relative humidity is within the range set by the manufacturer. In the event that there is no range established by the manufacturer, the relative humidity shall be no higher than 85 percent. 7.8.3.6 No coating shall be applied at temperatures below 40o F. without prior written approval of the MSC Port Engineer. 7.8.3.7 No coating shall be applied between the hours of sunset and 0800 without prior written approval of the MSC Port Engineer. 7.9 Upon approval of the surface preparation, all prepared deck areas shall be coated as follows: 7.9.1Non-skid application. 7.9.1.1Apply one (1) full coat of Amercoat 137 Buff at 5-6 mils DFT to all prepared surfaces, including vertical surfaces. Amercoat 137 may be brushed, rolled, or sprayed. 7.9.1.2Apply a stripe coat of Amercoat 137 Buff at 3-4 mils DFT to all weldments, corners, crevasses, pitted areas, threaded surfaces and other difficult to coat surfaces. Amercoat 137 application method should be consistant with application of first coat. 7.9.1.3Apply a second full coat Amercoat 137 Dark Gray at 5-6 mils DFT to all prepared surfaces, including vertical surfaces. Amercoat 137 application method should be consistant with application of previous coats. 7.9.1.4When the second coat of Amercoat 137 is properly cured, Amercoat 138G Non-skid shall be applied at a rate of approximately 30 square feet per gallon (32 mils DFT). Application of Amercoat 138G MUST be done using a napless phenolic roller in order to obtain the necessary raised ridge profile. The ridge pattern of the non-skid shall present a uniform appearance and shall not be”over-rolled” which tends to flatten the ridges and expand the distance between ridges. Non-skid in way of weld seams shall be rolled such that the ridges are perpendicular to the weld seam for a uniform distance of three (3) to six (6) inches either side of the weld. The finished non-skid installation shall be of such quality as to pass inspection by Navair for Helo Deck Certification. 7.9.1.5 Restore all markings and color codes as original using Amercoat 229T at 2-3 mils DFT. The coat should be applied as thinly as possible, just thick enough to hide the ‘gray’ of the non-skid, so as not to reduce the coefficient of friction or fill the valleys between ridges in the non-skid. Amercoat 229T may be brushed, rolled, or sprayed. 7.9.2 Vertical surfaces from the deck up 4 inches on bulkheads, gunwale bars, foundations, and other attached structures shall be top coated with one coat of Amercoat 240 at 5-6 mils DFT to match the surroundings. All dado lines shall be cut straight and level. 7.10 The following timeframes and actions are critical to the application of non-skid: 7.10.1No more than seven (7) days shall elapse between the first and second full coats of Amercoat 137. 7.10.2Amercoat 138G Non-skid shall be applied within 36 hours of application of the second coat of Amercoat 137. In the event that 36 hour window is exceeded, the following actions shall be taken: 7.10.2.1If application occurs between 36 and 72 hours, the entire area shall be wiped with the manufacturer’s recommended solvent using clean, lint free rags. 7.10.2.2If application occurs between the 3 and 7 day mark, the entire area shall be wiped with the manufacturer’s recommended solvent using clean, lint free rags. The surface shall then be lightly abraded, cleaned of the resulting residues, and coated with a 1-2 mil DFT tack coat of Amercoat 137. 7.10.2.3If more than seven (7) days elapses, the surface shall be taken down to bare metal in accordance with paragraph 7.7 above. In the event that this becomes necessary, the contractor shall be responsible for all labor and material necessary to effect replacement of the Intergard 264 that requires removal. 7.11 During the course of all surface preparation and coating operations, the area involved shall be roped off or otherwise barricaded to prevent entry by persons other than those directly involved in the work underway or those inspecting same. Those persons who are allowed in the work area shall wear disposable booties over their shoes to prevent contamination of the surface. New booties shall be put on each time a person enters the area. Such cordoning or barricading shall remain in place until the non-skid and color markings are properly cured. 7.12 Paint material shall be stored within the Paint Manufacturer's recommended temperature range. When paint material is being applied, ensure that the material's temperature is within the Manufacturer's recommended range, but in any case, not less than 70o F. 7.13 The contractor shall prepare a paint report and submit same to the MSC Port Engineer within three (3) days of completing the coating application. The report shall include the following data: 7.13.1 The date, time and location of each coating application. 7.13.2 The air and substrate temperatures, relative humidity and dewpoint temperature at the time of each coating application. 7.13.3 Dry film thickness readings at a rate of five (5) spot readings per 1,000 sq. ft. of surface for each coat of paint. DFT gages shall be calibrated, and spot readings shall be taken, in accordance with SSPC-PA2, Measurement of Dry Coating Thickness With Magnetic Gages. 7.13.4 The manufacturer, Product Identification Number, color and Batch Numbers for each coat of paint applied. 7.13.5 Surface profile measurements of the metal substrate. 7.13.6 Results of non-visual surface contamination testing. 7.14 Remove all protective covering and replace all interferences removed in the performance of this item. Upon completion the vessel shall be cleaned of all residues resulting from the surface preparation and painting operations. All debris generated in the performance of this item, whether solid or liquid, shall be disposed of in accordance with applicable Federal, State and Local regulations. 7.15 Manufacturer’s Representative: 7.15.1 A PPG Paint representative shall be on site, to the government’s account, during the course of all surface preparation and coating activities to observe the work in progress and to advise the MSC Port Engineer on the quality and correctness of same. 7.16 Preparation of Drawings: None additional. 8.0 GENERAL REQUIRMENTS: None Additional.
