PAINTING AND PAINT SYSTEMS

Standard Operating Procedure :- Man 013/1-209 Page 1PAINTING AND PAINT SYSTEMS

1.0SCOPE

This Process Specification details the basic procedures that must be followed in connection with the preparation and painting of gear units and components2.0PREPARATION OF PAINT

Once the paint is opened, it is extremely important to ensure that it is thoroughly mixed until a smooth consistency is achieved throughout.

If necessary, when spray-painting, to thin the paint, only the manufactures recommended thinners shall be used to the manufacturers recommendations.

When using 2 pack paints, e.g. epoxy & Acrylic, it is important that the manufactures instructions are followed, taking care to ensure that the two paint components are thoroughly mixed prior to application. Only mix sufficient quantities of paint to perform the task, as, once mixed, these paints usually have a short pot life before hardening (approx. 12 hours).

3.0APPLICATIONS

The standard paint system for Company products utilises paints, which are capable of being either spray-painted or brush painted, however, whenever practicable and possible paint is to be applied by conventional air spraying.

Paint shall be applied to form a smooth continuous unbroken coating, free from sags, runs or other defects, and it is important that sharp corners and edges receive the correct thickness of paint.

When more than 1 coat is applied, due regard to minimum or maximum overcoating periods shall be made as recommended by the paint manufacturer and applied to a clean dry surface.

4.0INSPECTION

Dry film thickness on standard paint systems, i.e. those contained in the Appendices, are checked and monitored during sample product audit. However, on special or customer specified paint systems, a check on final film thickness shall be performed when a defined thickness is specified.

Standard Operating Procedure :- Man 013/1-2009 Page 24.1 SERIES G ONLY

A Paint process record sheet is to be completed for each paint operation by the operator for extreme climatic paint (Appendix D) to signify completion at each stage.

5.0DEVIATION FROM STANDARD PAINTING SYSTEMS

It is important that where customers do insist on their own paint system, the requirements are made available for checking at the earliest possible time, i.e. at the order stage. These requirements shall be communicated in all instances to the Engineering Department who shall give approval of the system for use with in-house primers etc. before acknowledgement of the order is given. In addition this will ensure that the paint manufactures are given ample time to produce any special paint or colour, and that the Production Departments are given ample warning thereby avoiding the costly exercise of stripping paint off gearboxes. At all times the paint manufactures or customers specification should be followed.

6.0PAINT AND PAINT SYSTEM APPROVAL

6.1.New paints or paint systems are only to be used following approval by the Engineering Department who are responsible for performing the necessary tests to ensure that the paints, paint systems and methods of application are satisfactory for the intended duty.

6.2Testing Paint Compatibility with Lubricant

6.2.1 Apply paint to a mild steel plate approximate size

100mm x 100mm x 1.0 to 1.5mm thick.

Note: (I)The surface of the plate to be prepared, prior to painting, in accordance with the paint manufacturers instructions.

(ii)The applied paint thickness should be equal to that which would be applied to a gearcase.

6.2.2Allow the paint to dry in accordance with the paint manufacturers instructions. Measure and record the film thickness of the paint applied to the sample.

Standard Operating Procedure :- Man 013/1-2009 Page 36.2.3Immerse sample approximately 50mm into beaker containing oil sample and heat to 100oC. Maintain temperature at 100oC for a period of 8 hours.

6.2.4After 8 hours remove sample from the beaker and inspect for evidence of blistering, softening and discolouration.

If this appears visually acceptable then the adhesion is to be checked by cross-hatching to the bare metal and applying adhesive tape and inspecting for paint lift on removal.

A test record is to be completed and kept in the Engineering Department.

6.2.5Allow to cool, wash with white spirit (to remove oil) and allow to dry for 2 to 4 hours.

6.2.6Re-inspect for evidence of lack of adhesion, blistering, softening and discolouration and report as above.

6.2.7Re-immerse the plate (same end as in previous test) in the beaker of oil and reheat to 100oC for a further 4 days (96 hours).

6.2.8After 4 days (96 hours) remove sample from the beaker and inspect for evidence of lack of adhesion, blistering, softening and discolouration and report as above.

6.2.9Allow to cool, wash with white spirit (to remove oil) and allow to dry for 2 to 4 hours.

6.2.10Re-inspect for evidence of lack of adhesion, blistering, softening and discolouration and report as above.

PAINT SYSTEMS FOR EXTREME CLIMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

See Appendix D.

Standard Operating Procedure :- Man 013/1-2009 Page 6OVERCOATING FIRGLO 701

Units finished in the above paint may be directly overpainted with any approved primer prior to overcoating with approved finish coat.

OVERCOATING BECKER POWDER

Units finished in the above paint MUST be directly overpainted with Resistex M182 primer prior to overcoating with approved finish coat.

OVERCOATING FIRWOOD 130 HAMMER FINISH BLUENote Firwood 130 Hammer Finish Blue is not to be overcoated without reference to the Quality Department for instruction.

PLASTIC SURFACES AND OIL SEALS

Are not to be overpainted and should be masked accordingly.

DRYING TIME OF FINISH COAT

Finish Painted components should not be packed in containers or strapped to pallets for at least 12 hours after painting to allow for paint to harden sufficiently so as not to be damaged during handling.

Air Drying and flash off for paint systems is dependent on air movement and temperature. The curing reaction continues down to temperatures of +5(c but consideration must be given to the fact that for each 10(drop in temperature drying times can be doubled from those stated. Application at temperatures below 5(c is not recommended.

During the flash off and air drying stages care should be taken to ensure that the temperatures are maintained above 10(c and that air movement around the painted items is maximised to ensure that solvents are removed.

APPROVED PRIMER PAINTS.

Primed surfaces shall not be overcoated for at least 20 minutes after application of the primer paint. This period will vary according to the primer used by referring to the Supplier Product Data.

Care needs to be taken when it is known that the paint is to be in contact with synthetic oils/mineral oils with full EP packages, or where, for special paint systems, subsequent coats of paint are epoxy based.

Special considerations for these occasions are: -

a) Use Resistex M182 as an alternative.

b) Use alternative paint recommended by the Engineering Department.

SOLVENT-BASED PRIMERS

1.Resistex M182 (W & J Leigh) - A single pack epoxy paint for ferrous surfaces specially developed to withstand synthetic lubricants and also extremes of temperatures (up to 1200C). It is capable of being overcoated with the majority of paints currently available.

This primer has difficulty in adhering to smooth machined surfaces, which require treating with an Etch Primer, to manufactures instructions, prior to application.

2.Firglo 1 Fast Dry High Build Zinc Phosphate Primer (Firwood) - A rapid drying ferrous metal primer composed of modified alkyd resin, zinc phosphate pigments and extenders, can be applied by airless or conventional spray applications. The paint can be thinned to improve flow properties. ( see Firwood Data Sheet )

3. Firglo 70 Anti-Corrosive Primer (Firwood) - A rapid air drying anti-corrosive primer composed of a modified alkyd resin, pigments and extenders and is suitable for dip coating.
