Paint Removal from CMU and Brick - Webinar Learning Objectives
Identify SSPC/NACE, ASTM, and ICRI standards and guidelines applicable to the removal of paint from CMU and brick substrates
Describe various methods of paint removal, including advantages and disadvantages of each

Questions to Ask During Project Design
The following questions help to identify candidate coating removal methods for the project:
• Does all coating have to be removed, or just loose coating?
• If all coating must be removed, can small amounts still be permitted to remain in the porosity of the block?

Questions to Ask During Project Design
(con’t)• Can roughening of the block or brick be
tolerated. If so, can it be heavy or only slight?
• Can large volumes of water be tolerated (environmentally and in terms of potential water intrusion into the substrate)?
• Can airborne dust be tolerated?

Dry Abrasive Blast Cleaning
Abrasives propelledby compressed air
Boiler slag, copperslag, nickel slag,garnet, crushed glass,sponge, walnut shells, others
Very dusty – mayrequire containment system
![Page 15: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Dry Abrasive Blast Cleaning (con’t)
Difficult to selectivelyremove loose coating
Elastomeric coatings canbe difficult to removedue to bounce back ofthe abrasive
Potential for very heavyroughening of thesubstrate and damageto mortar joints
![Page 16: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Wet Abrasive Blast Cleaning
Variation of dryabrasive blastcleaning
Water is mixed with the abrasiveto control dusting
Same potential toroughen the substrate as dryabrasive blast cleaning
![Page 17: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Wet Abrasive Blast Cleaning (con’t)
Expendable abrasive,same as dry blastcleaning
Water is mixed withabrasive using:– Water collar– Special nozzle– Special equipment
that creates a slurry
![Page 18: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sodium Bicarbonate Blast Cleaning
Variation of wet abrasive blast cleaning
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is the abrasive
Larger particle size thanhousehold baking soda
Good for removing surface contamination,graffiti, and efflorescence
![Page 19: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Water Cleaning Low Pressure <5,000 psi
High Pressure 5,000 to 10,000 psi
Pressure categoriesdefined in SSPC-SP12/NACE No. 5, Surface Preparation and Cleaning of Metals by Water Jetting Prior to Recoating
Despite the title, the methods suitable for CMU/brick
![Page 20: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Water Cleaning (con’t) Low Pressure <5,000 psi
High Pressure 5,000 to 10,000 psi
Will effectively removeloose coating
Zero degree rotatingtip improves efficiency
Can remove all coatinggiven ample dwell time
Generally 5.0 to 10.0gal/min
![Page 21: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Water Cleaning (con’t) Low Pressure <5,000 psi
High Pressure 5,000 to 10,000 psi
Potential for using largeamount of water, especially for total coatingremoval
Increased dwell time for total removal can lead to water intrusion and wetting of interior surfaces
![Page 22: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
High Temperature Low Pressure Water Cleaning
(<5,000 psi) Water temperature
250ºF and pressures <5,000 psi
High temperature improves cleaning efficiency when removing all coating.
![Page 23: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
High Temperature Low Pressure Water Cleaning
(<5,000 psi) - con’t High temperature
softens paint during removal
![Page 24: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Water Jetting High Pressure 10,000 to 30,000 psi Ultra -High Pressure >30,000 psi
SSPC-SP12/NACE No. 5
Typically less water volume than low pressure cleaning methods
Efficiently removes existing coating
![Page 25: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Power Tool Cleaning
Power sanding, power grinding, needle gunning, rotopeening
Sanding and grinding remove paint with less damage to substrate than impact methods
Vacuum shrouding available
![Page 28: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Power Tool Cleaning (con’t)
Power tool cleaning best used for localized removal
Sanding methods good for feathering
![Page 29: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Chemical Stripping
Chemical stripping effectively removes existing paint
Biodegradable strippers are available that do not contain methylene chloride or caustic materials
![Page 30: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Chemical Stripping – con’t
Stripper is first applied to the surface by brush, roller, or spray
Dwell time depends on coating type, temperature and thickness, but typically overnight
![Page 31: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Chemical Stripping – con’t
Stripper and coating are removed by scraping, bucket and sponge, or pressure washing
![Page 32: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Chemical Stripping – con’t
Depending on results, a second application may be necessary
![Page 33: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Chemical Stripping
Second application essentially removes all coating
![Page 34: Paint Removal from CMU and Brick Kenneth A. Trimber KTA-Tator, Inc](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa61a28abf838c98782/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Practical Use of Candidate Surface Preparation Methods

1 – This table represents the practical application of the various methods when used under normal operations, but it is not absolute. For example, abrasive blast cleaning can partially remove existing coating from CMU or brick, but it is not commonly used for this purpose.2 – Roughening created by power tool cleaning is dependent on the tool being used, ranging from slight roughening with power sanding to heavy roughening with power impact tools. 3 - Slight to heavy roughening may occur. Vacuum shrouding will significantly reduce the volume of water. Without vacuum shrouding, the volume is greater, but typically not as high as pressure washing at < 10,000 psi. 4 – A large volume of water is generated if the stripper is removed by pressure washing. Much less water is involved if removed by scraping and sponge/water, but this is only practical for small localized areas.
