1、Designation: D4261 05 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Practice forSurface Cleaning Concrete Masonry Units for Coating1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4261; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of
2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers surface cleaning of concrete ma-sonry units to remove dust, dirt, mortar spatter, oil, and grease
3、prior to the application of coatings. Procedures include vacuumcleaning, air-blast cleaning, water cleaning, detergent waterwash, steam cleaning, and mechanical cleaning.1.2 This practice may alter the surface profile of theconcrete but is primarily intended to clean the surface.1.3 This standard do
4、es not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Summary of Practice3.1 Surface cleaning is intended to provide a clean,contamination-free surface suitable for the application ofcoatings.3.2 Acceptable surfaces shall be free of dust, dirt, mortarspatter, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Mortar joi
7、nts shallbe struck flush or tooled with a round jointer and shall be freeof rough edges and nibs (see ACI 531.1-76).3.3 Vacuum cleaning, air blast cleaning, water cleaning,detergent water wash, steam cleaning, hand tool, and mechani-cal cleaning are acceptable cleaning methods.3.4 Any one or a combi
8、nation of listed cleaning proceduresmay be used to achieve acceptably cleaned surfaces.4. Significance and Use4.1 Surface cleaning is to be used to prepare concrete unitmasonry surfaces for applying coatings intended for light dutyservice, splash and spillage of water and chemical solutions,radiatio
9、n exposure, decontamination, and repeated washdownswith alkaline cleaners.5. Cautions5.1 Moisture in concrete unit masonry may be detrimentalto coating adhesion. Moisture content shall be in compliancewith the coating manufacturers recommendations (see TestMethod D4263 for moisture test method).6. P
