1、SSPC-SP 1 April 23, 20151SSPC: The Society for Protective CoatingsSurface Preparation Standard No. 1Solvent Cleaning1. Scope1.1 This standard defines the end-condition of a metal surface from which visible deposits of oil, grease, and other visible contaminants have been removed in preparation for s

2、ubsequent application of protective coatings or for the use of additional methods to prepare the surface for the application of coatings. The standard also includes requirements for materials and procedures necessary to achieve and verify the end condition. 2. Definition2.1 When viewed without magni

3、fication, a solvent-cleaned surface shall be free of visible oil, grease, dust, dirt, drawing and cutting compounds, and other visible soluble contaminants. “Visible” means detectable with normal or corrected normal vision without the use of additional test equipment (see Note 6.1). 2.2 For the purp

4、ose of this standard, a “solvent” is defined as any liquid or vapor, permitted by the owner of the item being cleaned and used in compliance with all health, safety and environmental regulations applicable at the job site, that will dissolve or emulsify visible deposits of soluble contaminants on th

5、e surface. Examples of solvents include: water, emulsion or alkaline cleaners, and hydrocarbons. 3. Surface Preparation Before and After Solvent Cleaning3.1 Before solvent cleaning, remove visible foreign matter (other than grease and oil) by one or a combination of the following manual methods: bru

6、shing with stiff fiber or wire brushes, or scraping. 3.2 Remove localized deposits of oil or grease by scraping. Remove the remaining visible oil or grease by any of the methods listed in Section 4.Immediately before using additional methods of surface preparation or immediately prior to coating app

7、lication if additional surface preparation is not required, the surface shall meet requirements of Section 2.1. 4. Methods of Solvent Cleaning4.1 Apply the solvent to the surface by spraying or using rags or brushes wetted with approved solvent. Wipe or scrub the surface with rags or brushes wetted

8、with solvent.1Use clean solvent and clean rags or brushes for the final rinsing or wiping. 4.2 Use stabilized chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents to perform vapor degreasing.4.3 Immerse completely in a tank or tanks of solvent. For the last immersion, use solvent that will not deposit residual contamin

9、ants on the surface being cleaned. 4.4 Apply emulsion or alkaline cleaners as described in Sections 4.1 through 4.3. After treatment, wash the surface with surface preparation water2or steam to remove visible residual contaminants. 4.5 Steam clean, using detergents or cleaners and follow by steam or

10、 surface preparation water wash to remove visible residual contaminants. 5. Disclaimer5.1 This is a consensus standard developed by SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings. While every precaution is taken to ensure that all information furnished in SSPC standards is as accurate, complete, and usef

11、ul as possible, SSPC cannot assume responsibility nor incur any obligation resulting from the use of any materials, coatings, or methods specified herein, or of the specification or standard itself.5.2 This standard does not attempt to address problems concerning safety associated with its use. The

12、user of this standard, as well as the user of all products or practices described herein, is responsible for instituting appropriate 1 Local regulations or owner restrictions may prohibit the use of certain solvents.
