Surface preparation of concreteSummary of surface preparation ofconcrete:• A description on how to prepare a

concrete surface prior to the appli-cation of decorative coatings

• Adequate and proper surface prepa-ration of concrete is directly relatedto the service life of any coating sys-tem applied on top of the concrete

This code of practice deals with the fol-lowing types of concrete:• cementitious fibre boards• Smooth-poured concrete

The following international standards arereferred to:• ASTM D 4258-83 Standard Practice

for Surface Cleaning Concrete forCoating

• ASTM D 4259-88 Standard Practicefor Abrading Concrete

• ASTM D 4263-83 Standard TestMethod for Indicating Moisture in Con-crete by the Plastic Sheet Method

New concreteBefore sur face preparation can takeplace the concrete must be fully cured.This takes 28 days at 20 deg. C for nor-mal Portland Cement and 14 days at20 deg. C for rapidly hardening Portlandcement. At higher temperatures curingmembranes such as wax emulsions areused to retard the evaporation of waterso as to ensure complete curing of theconcrete. The water content of the con-crete should be 4% w/w or less prior tothe application of coatings. The tensilestrength of the concrete should be mini-mum 1.2 MN/m2 (174psi) for the ap-plication of decorative coatings in light-duty service.

dust and other loosely adhering solidcontaminants.

Vacuum clean with a heavy duty typeindustrial vacuum cleaner to provide anessentially dust-free surface.

Surface Preparation of smooth-poured ConcreteBy broom cleaning, vacuum cleaning, airblast cleaning, water cleaning and steamcleaning. Broom cleaning consist ofsweeping the surface with a clean in-dustrial stiff bristled broom or similar.Sweepings must be removed from theimmediate work area.

Vacuum cleaning with heavy duty typeof equipment is recommended to pro-vide a dust-free surface.

Air blast cleaning is cleaning the surfacewith a compressed air stream througha blasting nozzle held about 0.5 metrefrom the surface. It is intended to re-move debris, dust, dirt, loosely adher-ing laitance and concrete from walls andceilings and to provide a dust-free sur-face.

Water cleaning is intended to removedust, dirt and water soluble surface con-taminants. Use a stream of clean freshwater and scrub with a stif f-bristledbrush. Steam cleaning is intended forremoval of heavy deposits of oil andgrease.

Steam cleaning consists of cleaning thesur face with a jet of high pressuresteam, sufficient to remove contami-nants. Detergents may be added to thewater where required for the removal ofoil and grease.

Acceptance: The surfaces shall be freeof oil, grease, loosely adhering concreteand other contaminants.

Sealing and filingMajor imper fections in the concretemust be repaired with concrete or withcement mortar. Minor imperfections,cracks and crevices may be repaired withwater-borne or solvent-borne fillers. Fullskim coats of filler may be applied tosmooth the surface. Only one full coatof filler should be specified since thefiller constitutes the weakest part of thepaint system. Application of primer/seal-ers before and after application of filleris essential to ensure good intercoatadhesion. In principle clear sealers havebetter penetration and dust binding prop-erties than pigmented sealers.

Surface Preparation of PreviouslyCoated Concrete:High pressure fresh water washing isrecommended to remove loosely adher-ing paint, dust and other surface con-taminants. Detergent may be added tothe water to remove grease. Rinse withfresh water if detergent has been used.Hard scraping and grinding may be re-quired to remove old non-adhering paint.Major imper fections in the concretemust be repaired with concrete or withcement mortar. Apply one coat of primersealer compatible with the old paint sys-tem. If lifting of the edges is observedafter application of a primer/sealer, fur-ther scraping is necessary, or perhapsthe entire paint system must be re-moved. Minor imperfections, cracks andcrevices may be repaired with water-borne or solvent-borne fillers.

Summary of surface preparation -wood:• Bare wood: Round off edges. Sand

paper to smooth surface; dust off.Seal knots, wipe oily spots with sol-vent.

• Primed/varnished/painted wood ingood condition: Wash down with asuitable detergent and allow to dry.Sand to remove loose material andto flatten the surface. Remove dust.

• If old varnish or paint is in a poorcondition, complete removal of theexisting system is necessary. Re-move by flame cleaning or a suitablepaint remover. Rinse with fresh wa-ter, allow to dry, sand, and removedust.

New woodwork“Dry” for internal woodwork means max.12% moisture content (by weight) of thewood.

“Dry” for external woodwork means max.15-18% moisture content by weight. Forwell ventilated constructions max. 20%can be accepted.

For some types of wood a grainfiller maybe required. The filler should be com-patible with the paint system to avoiddelamination.

Major cracks and imperfections to befilled once or more. Nails and othermetal sur faces to be overcoated mustbe sealed separately with a suitableprimer prior to applying the full system.Grade of sandpaper to be chosen inaccordance with the finish desired.

Woodwork previously treatedIf the existing varnish/paint is adheringwell then the following surface prepara-tion is recommended:

Wash thoroughly with a suitable deter-gent to remove contaminants. Pleasenote that oil and grease can be difficultto see. Rinse with fresh water and allowto dry. If necessary, scrape and sand-paper thoroughly loose paints, dust offand touch up with paint.

Please consult code of practice no.96.23 on compatibility to ensure thatthe new and old paint systems are com-patible.

Flame clean e.g. with a gasflame or usea paint remover. It is important to re-move all loose material and preferablyremove all existing varnish/paint in or-der to obtain a smooth and even finish.

Different types of woodThe same type of surface preparationapplies no matter which type of wood istreated:The exemptions are woodtypes whichare especially oily: They have to be wipedwith solvents and allowed to dry prior topaint application.

Wood impregnated with tar-containingwood preser vatives will sometimesbleed through subsequent coats. Thiscannot be avoided.

Paint systems

Wood penetrantsWill penetrate and impregnate the surface of the wood and make a good key forsubsequent coats.

WoodstainsThese systems will impregnate and colour the top 1-3 mm of the wood. The grainsin the wood will therefore still be visible. The normal system consist of a clearsealer succeeded by 2-3 coats of the woodstain itself. Woodstains allow the woodto “breathe”.

VarnishesThese systems provide a “watertight” system with only little penetration into thewood. They are normally clear and the grains will therefore also be visible. Thenormal system consists of 3 coats of varnish, where the first coat is to be diluted.

PaintsThese systems hide completely, i.e. it is impossible to see the nature of thesubstrate. The normal system consists of a primer, an undercoat and a topcoat.

Summary of Surface Preparation -Metal:• Relevant metal surfaces• The cleaning process• Surface preparation for the relevant

metal surfaces

Areas of useThe relevant metal surfaces for paintapplication and thereby surface prepa-ration are:

• Mild steel• Galvanised steel• Metal sprayed steel• Stainless steel• Aluminium

In this Code of Practice, steel meansmild steel, high tensile, unalloyed steeland low alloyed steel.

To ensure a clean surface acceptablefor coating the cleaning processes mustbe performed in this particular order:

• Removal of oil/grease• Removal of salts• Removal of mill scale/rust/old paint

systems• Removal of dust

Why prepare the surface?Evaluations of paint failures have shown,that approximately 85% of the failuresare caused by insufficient surface prepa-ration. For this reason alone, it is obvi-ous that surface preparation is critical.

Surface Preparation, Steel1. All oil and grease must be removed

by cleaning with a suitable deter-gent/emulsifier followed by freshwater hosing.

2. All water soluble salts and weldingsmoke should be removed during theabove process. If no oil or grease ispresent, salts and welding smokeshould be removed by fresh waterhosing or steam cleaning. It mightbe necessary to scrub to removewelding smoke.

3. Abrasive blasting to achieve the re-quired cleanliness and surface pro-file. For certain areas, power toolcleaning may be sufficient. A surfacepreparation grade of "Sa 2 1/2 ac-cording to ISO 8501-1:1988 and asurface profile of Rz = 40-80 mi-crons/1.6-3.2 mils are generally rec-ommended.

4. Dust should be carefully removedfrom all surfaces prior to paint appli-cation, e.g. by vacuum cleaning.

Surface Preparation, GalvanizedSteelThe procedure of surface preparation ongalvanised steel is as follows:

1. Removal of loose metal, burnt-in zincash and burnt-in flux by grinding. Thisis done by using an orbital grinder,cup wheels, abrasive paper, which-ever is the most suitable.

2. Removal of oil and grease and zincsalts using pure steam or a steam/hot water mixture with an addition ofa mild alkaline cleaner.After steam cleaning, carry out highpressure fresh water hosing, prefer-ably hot, with detergent added, fol-lowed by fresh water hosing.

3. Abrasive sweep blasting to establisha surface profile in the galvanizedcoating and remove zinc corrosionproducts.

Surface Preparation - Metal

2Code of Practice

Surface Preparation, Metal SprayedSteelMetal sprayed coatings should beovercoated as soon as possible to avoidzinc and aluminium salts forming on thesurface. In that case no further surfacepreparation are required.

If already weathered, high pressure hos-ing and removal of zinc/aluminium saltsby stiff brushes or in severe cases byabrasive blasting is required.

Surface Preparation, AluminiumThe surface preparation of aluminiumis similar to that of steel, with thefollowing comments:

Aluminium is vulnerable to chlorideattack and liquids of a pH value above8.5. Therefore the detergent must be aneutral solvent, free of chlorides andchlorinated solvents.

Furthermore, the abrasive material mustbe free of chloride, copper, nickel and

steel. The best result is obtained bycorundum abrasive with a grain size ofmaximum 0.5 mm propelled by apressure of maximum 4 bar.

Surface Preparation, Stainless Steel1. All oil and grease must be removed

by cleaning with a detergent/emul-sifier free of chlorides followed byclean fresh water hosing. Alterna-tively, steam cleaning followed bythorough fresh water washing is ac-ceptable.

2. Stainless steel has to be treated simi-larly to mild steel when heavy dutysystems are specified, i. e. by abra-sive blasting. However it is importantthat the abrasives are free of zinc,iron and chlorides. Suitableabrasives are corundum and ordinarysilica sand.

Note: Abrasive blasting may be neces-sary depending on the purpose for coat-ing and the coating system.

Code of Practice

Brush ApplicationPlease note that the outline of runs andsagging will only become visible a fewminutes after application. It may thenbe too late to remove them, and sand-ing of the dry paint will be required.

Normally, a flat brush with long bristlesor a round or oval brush is used on largerareas as they can contain a relativelylarge volume of wet paint.

A broad, flat brush is used for smooth-ening. For areas which are difficult toreach an angular brush can be used.

AdvantagesBrush application tends to displacedust, and to some extent even moisture.This makes the brush well-suited forapplication of the first coat of primer.Furthermore, brush application, whendone correctly is not surpassed by anyother application method when paintingrough and pitted surfaces.

LimitationsThe greatest limitation to brushapplication is that the method is slowand therefore labour intensive. As ageneral rule, it is possible for theindividual to paint 100 sqm during aworking day of 8 hours.

When application is to be done by brushon areas where appearance is ofimportance, one should choose paintsthat are specially developed for brushapplication. Not all paint types are suitedfor application by brush. Paintsapplicable in a dry film thickness of 80micron or more (high build paints), arenot suitable.

Summary of Brush application:• For small and irregular surfaces• Well suited for first coat of primer• Labour intensive

Area of use• Small and irregular surfaces, pylons,

rods, lattice structures, small dia-meter pipes, doors, railings, wood-work, etc.

• Stripe coating - areas where thespecified film thickness cannot beobtained by spray application only

• Interior areas with poor ventilation• Touch up - normally relatively small

areas• Marginally prepared surfaces (with

slight dust, rust and dampness)

PrincipleThe principle of paint application with abrush is to “work” the paint physicallyinto the pits, pores and cavities of thesubstrate. At the same time, dust andsurface humidity to a certain extent willbe dispersed into the wet paint.

How to use a BrushTo obtain a suf ficient, even filmthickness, it is often necessary to applytwo coats or more. This is ensured by"laying" the paint on the surface insteadof "dragging" it around with a lot ofaction in the wet paint. The paint shouldbe applied and distributed with a fewstrokes. If the flow is not satisfactory,dilution with appropiate thinner may benecessary (please consult the relevantProduct Data Sheet).

Brush Application

2Code of Practice

EquipmentA lot of factors affect the choice of a brush.• The form and quality• The length of the bristles• The composition of the bristles

A brush can be made of different kinds of bristle. The best brushes are made fromanimal hairs. If the hairs are mixed with synthetic bristles, it improves the wearresistance.

To get good wearing and a good alkali resistance, a brush made of nylon is recom-mended. However, the finish will not be as good as with a brush made of animalbristle.

Special brushes with split-end bristles provide the best possible levelling.

Cleaning of brushesBrushes which have been used for solvent-borne coatings should be cleaned withsolvent or special tool cleaner (please consult the relevant Product Data Sheet).Subsequently the hairs of the brush should be rubbed with soft soap or detergentfollowed by rinsing with lukewarm water.

If the brush has been used for water-borne coatings, it needs to be cleaned bythorough rinsing with water as soon as possible. Further, cleaning can be done inthe same way as mentioned above with soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Socalled "brush restorers" are used to restore bristles with dried and cured paint.

Roller application

Note: This code should not be used without reference to the relevant Product Data Sheet andMaterial Safety Data Sheet, copies of whichi are available from HEMPEL upon request.

AdvantagesRoller application is much faster thanbrush application, but is still much morelabour intensive than e.g. airless sprayapplication. As a rule of thumb it is pos-sible to paint 200-300 sqm by rollerduring a working day of 8 hours per indi-vidual.

The roller is cost effective and a mobiletool and can be used for most decora-tive paints.

LimitationsAn important limitation for roller appli-cation is that the paint will be applied inan uneven, thin film with a substantialnumber of minor misses and pinholesunless several passes are made.

The penetration/wetting obtained by thefirst primer coat will usually be poor. If aproper primer/sealer is not used, pooradhesion of the paint system to thesubstrate may be the result.

Area of useThe roller is well suited for broad evensurfaces. All edges, corners etc. mustbe painted by brush in order to ensureproper protection and hiding.

PrincipleThe paint absorbed in the roller will bespread over the sur face rather than"worked" into the surface. This is theexplanation for the poor penetration ofpaint by roller application.

How to use a rollerBefore taking a new roller into use, it isa good idea to wash it with fresh water .This should prevent piles from the rollerto get stuck in the paint film. Roller ap-plication will often give a slightly texturedfinish depending on the quality and vis-cosity of the paint, and the type of roller.For completely smooth finishes use ashort nap roller, and/or dilute the paintslightly.

Sometimes air can be worked into thepaint film by the roller. This may latercause air bubbles in the paint film. Avoidby diluting the paint slightly.

Cleaning of rollersRollers which have been used for sol-vent-borne coatings should be cleanedwith solvent or special tool cleaner(please consult the relevant productdata sheet). Subsequently the pile of theroller should be rubbed with soft soapor detergent followed by rinsing withlukewarm water.

If the roller has been used for water-borne coatings, it needs to be cleanedby thorough rinsing with water as soonas possible. Further cleaning can bedone in the same way as mentionedabove with soap or detergent and luke-warm water.

EquipmentThere are many different kinds of roll-ers and the main factors that affect thechoice of roller are the material whichthe pile is made of, the length of thepile and the overall effect desired.

• Lamb's wool - has long pile and iswell-suited for rough surfaces.

• Mohair - has a shorter pile and isgenerally used on smooth surfaceswhere it leaves less of an “orangepeel” effect than do lamb's wool roll-ers.

• Nylon and Dynel are comparativelylow cost synthetic substitutes forlamb's wool and mohair. They arehard-wearing and well-suited for mosttypes of paint.

• Plastic foam rollers are cheap, butnot very stable. They tend to resultin poor film formation.

Special types of rollers are available inabundance giving many variations of fin-ishes. Try out the roller before startingon a major job to assess the finalapperance of the paint film.

Airspray Application

Note: IThis code should not be used without reference to the relevant Product Data Sheet andMaterial Safety Data Sheet, copies of which are available from HEMPEL upon request.

The recommended atomisation pressureis 0.2-0.5 MPa (2-5 atm.).

Low viscosity of the paint may result inlow film thicknesses and risk of sagging.However, high viscosity may result in or-ange peel and poor levelling. If needed,thin down the paint according to theguidelines given in the product datasheet.

AdvantagesThis method of atomisation can producethe finest possible of finish - that is,when carried out by a skilled craftsman.The method is faster than brush androller application, but not as fast as air-less spray application.

LimitationsIt may be difficult to get a sufficient wetfilm thickness on corners and sharpedges. With this application methodthere is a tendency that paint will bounceback.

Another drawback is the considerableamounts of spray fog resulting in higherloss of paint than by other applicationmethods. The spray fan is very sensi-tive to wind and the method is only usedindoors in paintshops.

Airspray paint application is not recom-mended for high build coatings with wetfilm thicknesses in excess of 75-100micron. The finish will be wavy and un-even. Airless spray application is sug-gested for high build coatings.

Summary of Airspray application:• Airspray can produce the finest pos-

sible finish• Faster than brush and roller applica-

tion but not as fast as airless spray.• The result is dependent on the vis-

cosity of the paint

Area of useAirspray is for large volume applicationsand for areas where a very fine finish isrequired.

PrincipleThe principle of airspray is thatatomisation is created by fine jets ofcompressed air breaking up the paintinto tiny droplets and which are carriedand directed towards the substrate.

Some 500-600 times as much air aspaint is used for atomisation and theair tends to bounce off the surface tobe painted carr ying a considerableamount of the paint particles with it.

How to use AirsprayWhen spraying, the gun must be held ata right angle to the substrate and at adistance of approximately 20-30 cm (2/3 -1 foot). Too close a distance will causewave formation and too far a distancewill cause dryspray.

Overlap with half of the spray fan.

If the air pressure is too high, the paintwill bounce of the surface and in themiddle of the spraying fan the paint willbe blown away. Excessive spraydust anddry spray will also occur.

Too low pressure will result in poor at-omisation of the paint and poor film for-mation.

Airspray Application

2Code of Practice

Safety:

• Observe local safety regulations and the safety instructions given by suppliersof equipment and paint.

• Never smoke, eat or drink while painting.

• Avoid inhalation of possible solvent vapours or paint mist and contact with skinand eyes. Wear mask and goggles.

• Always take precautions against the risk of fire or explosions, ensure areas arewell ventilated.

Airspray equipment should only be operated by skilled operators.

CleaningThe gun should be taken apart at the end of each day, and the aircap and fluid tipshould be cleaned with an appropriate solvent.

Do not store the gun in a bucket of solvent at the end of the day. This can causescale deposits or other foreign material deposits that could clog air parts and dryout the packings, causing the gun to leak.

EquipmentDifferent types of equipment are available, where the main difference is the waythe spray gun is fed with paint. This can be done by force of gravity, by suction or bypressure.

Feeding from a pressurised paint pot is the fastest method, but also requires themost extensive equipment.

The result is dependent on the viscosity of the paint, proper adjustment of thespray gun, spraying distance and speed.

Please also consult manufacturer's instructions for use.

Airless Spray Application

Note: This code should not be used without reference to relevant Product Data Sheet andMaterial Safety Data Sheet, copies of which are available from HEMPEL upon request.

It is preferable to reduce viscosity bywarming up the paint rather than by thin-ning - as thinning will increase the riskof the paint sagging (running).

The atomisation and the spray patternare determined by the pressure, the noz-zle size and by the viscosity of the paint.

AdvantagesGreater quantities of paint can beapplied with a more confined spraypattern and less over-spray becauselittle paint fog is produced and there isvery little rebounce of paint.

Airless spray allows application of highfilm thickness per coat and high viscosityproducts.

Airless spray is much faster than airspray. However, it will not provide thesame fine finish. As a rule of thumb, itis possible to cover 700-1200 sqm perworking day of 8 hours, per individualwhen using airless spray.

LimitationsAirless Spray application relies on atomi-sation of the paint. "Dry spray" may re-sult in a coarse paint finish. "Overspray"is semi dried paint which attaches toadjacent areas. Both may result in in-sufficient film formation. Avoid by adjust-ing the distance of nozzle to substrateand paint under less windy conditions..

Summary of Airless Spray applica-tion:• High pressure spraying• The fastest method among most

common application methodsAllows application of coats with highfilm thickness and paint with highviscosity

Areas of useAirless spray is ideal for application tolarge areas.

PrincipleThe principle of airless spray is that theatomisation of the paint takes place dueto the sudden release of high pressure,when paint is forced through a smallnozzle. There is no air involved in theatomisation.

How to use Airless SprayThe idea behind airless spray applica-tion is to obtain a uniform paint filmwithout voids or holidays, and to securethe best possible adhesion to substrate.

When spraying, the gun should be heldat right angles and at a distance of ap-proximately 30 cm (1 foot) to thesubstrate. Try to maintain a fan widthof 20-30 cm (40-50º fan angle) andmove the gun at a constant speed. Re-lease the trigger at the turning point ofeach pass.

The result obtained from airless sprayapplication depends on the viscosity ofthe paint. The main factors which affectthe viscosity is:• Temperature of the paint• Quantity of thinner added to the

paint.

Airless Spray Application

2Code of Practice

Safety:Airless spray equipment is working with paint under high pressure. If you aim atyourself or others the high pressurised paint may penetrate the skin and causeserious injury.

• Therefore never aim the spray gun at your self or others.

• When spraying avoid any kind of sparks. This must include sparks induced bystatic electricity. Use conductive painthoses and grounded air- and hydraulichoses.

• Never smoke, eat or drink while painting.

• Stay clear of movable parts.

• Keep equipment in proper working condition, change work nozzles, and cleanfilters of regular intervals.

• Never dismantle equipment, nozzle etc. unless you are sure that the pressurehas been relieved and safety devices are in function.

• Never leave spray equipment, nozzles etc. under pressure and without safetydevices in function.

• Observe local safety regulations and the safety instructions given by suppliersof equipment and paint.

Airless spray equipment should only be operated by skilled operators.

CleaningTo maintain an airless spray system you must ensure that all system componentsare clean and check for and replace worn or damaged components that might failunder pressure.

To clean the system, replace the coating material and flush with appropriate sol-vent. After removing the nozzle tip, flush the system by spraying the solvent into acontainer. When the solvent looks clean, the system has been purged of paintmaterial. Special attention needs to be given to cleaning of the nozzle tip and thesystem filters. The nozzle tip and tip filter screen should be cleaned with solventand rags and can be immersed in a bucket of solvent. It may be necessary to usea small tool to scrape paint of the tip. The tool can be a small brush or wooden pickbut not a metal object or scraper, which can damage the tip.

Hopper spray gun application


At the back of the spray gun an air hoseis fitted which is connected to a smallcompressor. 220 litres of air per minuteand 2-3 bar air pressure is enough tospray most materials. The air supply canbe adjusted on the gun.

How to use the hopper gunHold the gun with both hands, and em-ploy round movements with both arms.Ensure a continuous material flow bykeeping the trigger pulled. Overlap intopreviously coated areas while they arestill wet, and if possible avoid applica-tion in direct sunshine to minimise therisk of a patchy finish. Stop only forlonger periods at corners, cornices etc.

Different patterns can be obtained byvarying the nozzle size, the distance ofthe nozzle from substrate, and by ad-justing the air supply. Increasing the airsupply results in a smoother finish. Toohigh air pressure may result in the ag-gregate separating from the binder (liq-uid part) of the material. Completelysmooth surfaces can be obtained byusing a broad knife just after applica-tion of coatings containing fine or noaggregate at all.

LimitationsMake sure that the material to besprayed is well mixed with a uniformconsistency, thick enough to only justallow a continuous flow into the spraygun. If the material is too thin, this willresult in sagging and running and thedesired texture and wet film thicknesscannot be achieved.

Summary of hopper spray gunapplication:• The function of a hopper spray gun• The application method is used for

application of various coatings, plas-ters and renders

• This code of practice is referring tosmall hand held guns typically with a6 litre hopper

Area of useThe hopper spray gun is a versatile pieceof equipment for civil/building projects.It is ideal for the application of e.g. wa-ter-borne textured coatings with or with-out aggregate, spray plasters, fillers andcement rendering. A hopper spray gunis especially suited for the applicationon ceilings and walls/facades.

PrincipleThe hopper spray gun is a normal spraygun with an air nozzle and fitted with anorifice plate. Changing the orifice sizeis easily done by turning the orifice plate.There are normally 4 different orificesizes to choose between, 3, 5, 7 and10 mm. In order to obtain an optimumfinish for aggregate containing texturedcoatings, the selected orifice should beat least twice the size of the largest ag-gregate grains. By changing the distancebetween the air nozzle and the orificeplate, the volume of material that goesthrough the spray gun can be control-led. On top of the gun a hopper or fun-nel is fitted. The hopper contains thematerial to be sprayed. The material istransported to the spray gun by the forceof gravity.

Code of Practice

The following defects and solu-tions are described:• Bleeding• Blistering• Brushmarking• Chalking• Cissing• Drying problems• Efflorescence• Flaking

BleedingShows as a sur face discolouration.Caused by an underlying colour or stainwhich gradually migrates through a newlypainted surface. This can be caused byBitumen, Creosote, Water-Staining,Nicotine and pigmentation in previouscoatings.

• SolutionAll affected paint should be stripped offand the cause of bleeding sealed off withan appropriate sealer. After effectivesealing, re-paint according to theappropriate specification.

BlisteringTakes place due to poor adhesionbetween a paint and the surface. It maybe caused by sur face dampness orexcessive atmospheric moisture whenpainting. Dampness in the surface maybe due to moisture retained in theplaster or wood, or moisture migratingfrom an adjacent structure.

• SolutionAll defective paint must be removed.Surfaces must be cleaned, made sound,then treated as new and paintedaccording to specification.

Defects and solutionsBrushmarkingAlthough mainly visible in glossyfinishes, brushmarks are usuallypresent in the undercoat or primer andmay not be seen until the gloss finish isapplied, when it is too late for an easyremedy.

• SolutionCan be minimised by careful applicationof undercoats and thinning slightly ifthere has been solvent loss from thepaint before application, causing thepaint to thicken up. With water thinnedpaints brushmarking can be caused byoverbrushing or inadequate thinning,particularly on very absorbent surfaces.Substrate should be sanded well back,if in a rough condition, and sealed ap-propriately if porous.

ChalkingThis is a powdery residue formed on apaint finish when the surface begins toerode from exposure to the weather.Chalking is not usually considered adefect unless it occurs prematurely. Agood gloss paint may soon begin tochalk if used over a porous surface, e.g.caused by the non-use of a primer orsealer, or over-thining of previous coatsresulting in insufficient sealing of thesubstrate. Chalking of surfaces can alsobe evident where a saponifiable coatinghas been used and has degraded, i.e.by chemical attack.

• SolutionLight chalking can be removed bywashing with water and detergent, andthe surface is then repainted normally.Heavy surface chalking must be brushedoff and a sealer applied to bind thesurface before painting.

Defects and Solutions

2Code of Practice

Drying problemsLack of drying is usually caused by oneof the following causes:Contamination, such as wax or greaseon the surface; Addition of unsuitablematerial for thinning, such as paraffin,oil, kerosene or slow drying thinners;Painting in adverse conditions such asduring cold weather or when moistureis condensing on the surface; Applyingpaint over a previous coat which is notdry.

• SolutionIf the paint does not dry, it has to beremoved by solvent wash or with a paintremover. Drying problems are greatlyreduced when paint is applied to cleansur faces under reasonable weatherconditions with the appropriate thinnerused, where necessary. If possible,increase ventilation and the temperatureof the substrate. Surfaces should becleaned with detergent or solventwashed.

EfflorescenceIt is recognisable as a white crystallinedeposit of water soluble salts which mayform on new plaster, cement render andbrick caused by dr ying out of thestructure. Efflorescence may also formblisters in a paint film with no visiblesalts. Also, efflorescence salt may beattached to the back of the paint film,causing no visible disruption, butweakening adhesion and remaining athreat to future decoration.

• SolutionRemove by brushing down, do not washoff. Repair any damage which may becausing water ingress. Surfaces shouldnot be sealed or painted in alkyd orsolvent based systems untilefflorescence ceases. Whilst efflore-scence is present, porous emulsionpaints are recommended.

FlakingThis results from the splitting and liftingof a paint coat or paint system due toloss of adhesion. This can be due toone or more causes, such as;1. Paint being applied on top of a

chalking substrate or other powderysurface.

2. Using a primer which is unsuitablefor the surface, such as underbound,over-thinned primer or one liable todegrade on cement/alkalinesurfaces.

3. Painting on old, poor quality paintwhich can become brittle and failrapidly once disruption occurs.

4. Moisture penetrating into woodcausing movement which cannot betolerated by the paint system.

• SolutionFlaking paint and adjacent areas ofsuspected badly adhering paint shouldbe removed completely. When repaint-ing, care should be taken to provide adry surface free from powdery particlesand a sur face well sealed. Ensurecorrect sealers/primers are used.

How is a sealer quality tested inpractice?The most important tests to identify thequality of a Sealer are the following:

PenetrationGood penetration results in a saturatedsurface showing no visible paint filmformed. However, bad penetration re-sults in formation of a visible film formedon the surface. The penetration proper-ties can also be assessed by Consump-tion Calculations (see Hempel's code ofpractise no. 96.21).

Dustbinding characteristicsPresence of dust or chalk on the sur-face is detected by drawing a black clothof cotton approximately 20 cm acrossthe surface. The presence of dust orchalking is considered significant if thecloth shows white or off-white colour andif the dust keeps coming off after a cou-ple of rubs at the same spot.

For further information please contactyour nearest HEMPEL dealer.


Quality test of sealers

2Code of Practice

AdhesionThis method is used for evaluating theinner cohesive strength and adhesionto substrate. Plastic tape Tesa-film 122is used for the test. The outermost 20cm of a piece of tape of approximately50 cm is firmly applied to the surfacewith the finger nail. Then a sudden andviolent pull is made at the loose endperpendicularly at right angles to the sur-face. Result: The tape test has not beenpassed when some surface material/sealer is adhering to the tape.

Non volatile or solids contentsThese are stated on the Product DataSheet. High solids materials saturatethe substrate surface using less mate-rial compared to material with low sol-ids content.

Can be recoated withwater-borne or solvent-borne systems.

How is a filler quality tested in prac-tice?The most important tests to identify thequality of a Filler are the following:

• Application properties - are checkedby applying the filler with the appli-cation tools indicated on the prod-uct data sheet of the product. Thetime for good workability is measuredindicating the wet-edge time. Theworkability must be easy and showgood smoothing as well as fillingproperties.

• Cracking - is measured by applyingthe filler on a non-absorbentsubstrate, e.g. a piece of plastic, inexcessive film thicknesses. Whenthe film starts cracking, the dry filmlayer is measured by e.g. a slide rulerwith 1 mm indication.

• Sanding properties - the applied anddry filler must have easy sandingproperties. This means that exces-sive force should not be required inorder to achieve a smooth surfaceusing appropriate sanding paper.Also there should be no or only littlematerial left on the sanding paper.

• Scrub resistance - is tested by fin-ger rubbing with and without wateron the dried film.

An economic filler will typically de-posit filler material on the finger. Incases where there is only very littlebinder material in the filler, the driedfilm can be partly removed by rub-bing the filler surface with the handwithout any wetting of the surface.

• Penetration of water - is measuredby splashing water on to the dry fillersurface. If the water is totally ab-sorbed, the film is very porous. Thiswill indicate that it is an economictype suited for interior use only.

If the water is not absorbed but ispartly or fully repelled by the dry fillerfilm, it will indicate that the film isnot porous and can be used for ex-terior use.

Purpose of quality testThe purpose of making a quality test ofTextures is to make sure that the per-formance is acceptable to fulfil the re-quirements of service life and appear-ance.

What is a texture?A Texture is a paint with or without ag-gregate of different grades.The aggre-gate is added to achieve a textured fin-ish. Some textures are just thick paints.When applied with e.g. a textured roller,the finish becomes textured. Normallythe Texture is applied in rather thickcoats of paint (30-5000 micron).

Area of useThe purpose of applying textures is tocreate a textured sur face for mainlydecorative purposes. The texture mustalso be water resistant like any otherpaint and have sufficient flexibiIity.

What makes a quality texture?The most important tests to identify thequality of a texture are the following:

SaggingSince textured paints are often appliedin heavy coats, poor textures have a ten-dency to sag. It is therefore importantthat it can hold itself together, meaningthat it does not slide down vertical sur-faces resulting in a uneven and unat-tractive finish. However, sagging canalso be caused by excessive thinning !



96.34 Sagging

96.34 Flexibility

96.34 Water resistance


The test is performed by applying theTexture to a wooden panel in a high filmthickness and placing the panel verti-cally. If the sagging starts after a fewminutes, and hereby changing the sur-face pattern, the quality is not goodenough.

PatternsA good texture will be able to provide avariety of patterns depending on themethods of application: Roller, spray,spray and levelling, etc.

Lower quality textures will only providesoft rounded patterns. It is therefore agood idea to make a test application toevaluate the final apperance.

FlexibilityA poor textured paint may crack duringdrying.

To test the texture for cracking apply thetexture on a thick piece of plastic. Afterfull drying bend the plastic. The goodtexture will follow the movements of theplastic without cracking and without fall-ing off.

Water resistanceThe texture must be water resistant likeany other paint.This can be checked byapplying the texture on an asbestospanel at a high film thickness and in thedesired pattern. After drying overnightimmerse the panel in water. The lowquality product will start to dissolvewithin 24 hours while the high qualityproduct will remain intact.

Quality of enamelsCheap enamels will often have poor hid-ing power, and more expensive enam-els may have better hiding power.

The hiding power is determined by theamount of colouring pigments in theproduct. As colouring pigments are someof the most expensive raw materials inthe enamel, there is a direct relation-ship between hiding power and price.

Test of hiding powerApply the enamel by brush to a glasspanel or a thick piece of transparentplasticboard. Let it dry thoroughly andhold it against the light.

• If you can see through the paint filmthen the hiding power must be con-sidered poor and you will need toapply two coats or more. Thereforemore paint is required to hide thesubstrate and/or obtain an even col-our.

• If you are not able to see throughthe påint film, then the paint will hidein one or two coats and thereby youwill save not only on the quantity ofpaint used but also on the labourcost and time involved.

Drying timeAs stated before, enamels will dry notonly by evaporation of solvent, but alsoby a chemical reaction between the paintand oxygen from the air.

The paint should stay open long enoughfor the paint to flow together to form auniform film. It should also dry fastenough to avoid dirt pick up.

Test of dryingApply the paint to a panel of wood, steel,glass etc. Allow the solvents to evapo-rate. Touch the paint with a finger atintervals of half an hour. When the paintno longer feels tacky, it is dry to touch.

Summary of quality of enamels:• The areas of use• The Enamel test in practice

How to determine the quality ofenamelsThe quality of an enamel can be deter-mined on the following properties:• Hiding power• Drying time• Final paint film appearance• Colour and gloss level• Tendency to yellow

What is an enamel?Enamels are top coats formulated withalkyd, epoxy, polyurethane or other typeof binder. They can be formulated to givedifferent properties with regard to dry-ing time, tendency to yellow, gloss level,hiding power and colour.

Alkyd enamelsThe following will only describe qualitytests of alkyd enamels, but most of thetests will also be relevant for otherenamels:

Alkyds are normally solvent-borne, butwater-borne alkyds can also be formu-lated. Alkyds will dry and cure first byevaporation of the solvents and secondlyby a chemical reaction between the coat-ing and oxygen from the air.

Properties of alkyd enamelsIn the following we will go through thedifferent properties of alkyd enamels.This should help you choosing the prod-uct that fit your requirements.

Hiding power (opacity)Hiding power is the ability of the paintto cover or hide the substrate. It is aproperty that is especially importantwhen you want to change the colour ofa substrate.

Note: This code should not be used without reference to the relevant Product Data Sheet andMaterial Safety Data Sheet, copies of which are available from HEMPEL upong request.



96.33 Weather Test


May 1997

Please note that the drying time is alsodependent on temperature of the sub-strate and ventilation. At 20°C and suf-ficient ventilation, an enamel should bedry to touch within max. 7-8 hours.

Paint film appearanceEnamels are normally smooth finishes.If the paint has not been manufacturedproperly it may contain large particlesof undispersed pigments or other con-taminants which will detract from thedecorative appearance.

Test of paint film appearanceApply the paint in a low and even filmthickness on a smooth substrate. Allowthe paint to dry and evaluate the appear-ance.

Please be aware that there is a distinctdifference between dust coming fromthe air/room and contaminants from thepaint. The paint should form a nice andsmooth film without coarse particles inthe film.

Colour and glossEnamels can be formulated to differentgloss levels and in different colours.

It is important that you get the productwith the colour and gloss level you de-sire. The colour and the gloss level ofthe product are stated in the productdata sheet.

Some alkyd enamels are sold as white,but when applied they appear yellow! - Itis also important that the paint, after ithas been applied, retains its colour andgloss for a reasonable length of time.

If the enamel has been formulated withcheap, low-quality pigments it may looseit’s colour and gloss when exposed tosun light.

Tendency to yellowAll alkyd enamels will yellow when ex-posed in certain environments. The yel-lowing is only a cosmetic problem andwill not detract from the protective valueof the coating.


Quality of enamels

2Code of Practice

However, if good quality raw materialshave been used to formulate the paint,it is possible to reduce the tendency toyellow. There is no direct relationshipbetween tendency to yellow and price -except for real non-yellowing enamels,which will be significantly more expen-sive as compared to the traditional ones.

Enamels will yellow when exposed to thefollowing conditions:• Inside “dark” rooms where the sur-

faces are not exposed to sunlight.• When exposed to elevated tempera-

tures for extended periods.• When exposed to tobacco smoke and

other pollutants.

Test on yellowing tendency (and col-our and gloss stability)

Apply the enamel on 3 panels (woodenboards, glass or steel panels). Allow thepaint to dry and cure for 2 days.

Expose one outside in direct sunlight.Keep the other panel inside in a normallylit room. Place the third panel in adrawer. After 21 days (500 hours) com-pare the 3 panels.• If the panel which has been exposed

outside has lost gloss and has faded,it has probably been formulated withlow quality raw materials. This mustbe taken into consideration if theproduct is for exterior use.

• If the panel which has been left inthe drawer for 21 days has yellowedconsiderably the coating will alsoyellow when you use it indoors.

From the foregoing you may get the im-pression that enamels are very trickyand that it is extremely dif ficult tochoose the right product. This is not thecase.

Our intention with this code of practicehas been to inform you of the fact, thatthere is as direct relationship betweenquality and price. And we have tried tosuggest a few simple tests which youcan use to compare different productsand evaluate the quality.
