Bars with sharp edges on th
27、e deformations,rolled-in slivers, or other surface imperfections are difficult to coatproperly and should not be coated. The coating will flow away from thesharp edges and may result in inadequate coating thickness at these points.5.2 The powder coating shall meet the requirements ofAnnex A1. Upon r

37、rasive blast cleaning of steel reinforcing bars with a highdegree ( 90 %) of grit in the cleaning media provides the most suitableanchor profile for coating adhesion. After grit has been recycled, a smallportion will take on the appearance of shot.6.2 Multidirectional, high-pressure dry air knives s

The air knives shallnot deposit oil on the steel reinforcing bars.NOTE 7It is recommended that incoming steel reinforcing bars andblast media be checked for salt contamination prior to use.
39、 Blast mediafound to be salt contaminated should be rejected. Steel reinforcing barsfound to be salt contaminated from exposure to deicing salts or salt sprayshould be cleaned by acid washing or other suitable methods to removesalt contaminants from the surface prior to blast cleaning.6.3 It shall b
40、e permissible for the manufacturer to use achemical wash or conversion of the blast-cleaned steel rein-forcing bar surface, or both, to enhance coating adhesion. Thispretreatment shall be applied after abrasive cleaning and beforecoating, in accordance with the written application instructionsspecif
41、ied by the pretreatment manufacturer.7. Coating Application7.1 If pretreatment is used in the preparation of the surface,the powder coating shall be applied to the cleaned andpretreated steel reinforcing bar surface as soon as possible aftersurface treatments have been completed, and before visibleo
42、xidation of the surface occurs as discernible to a person withnormal or corrected vision. In no case shall application of thecoating be delayed more than 3 h after cleaning.7.2 The fusion-bonded epoxy powder coating shall beapplied in accordance with the written recommendations of themanufacturer of
43、 the powder coating for initial steel surfacetemperature range and post application curing requirements.During continuous operations, the temperature of the surfaceimmediately prior to coating shall be measured using infraredguns or temperature indicating crayons, or both, at least onceevery 30 min.
