Scope1.1 This specifi cation covers a group of inorganic zinc primers that can protect carbon steel during the fabrication process, permit welding to specifi cation requirements, and be overcoated.1.2 The major pigment component
2、in this coating is zinc dust and the binder is inorganic.1.3 This specifi cation defi nes the minimum compositional and laboratory performance requirements for characterizing a group of zinc primers. It is to be used in conjunction with SSPC-PS Guide 22.00, SSPC-PS Guide 12.00, and other SSPC specif
3、i cations covering surface preparation, application, thickness, inspection, and safety.2. Description2.1 GENERAL2.1.1 The zinc primers described in this specifi cation consist of zinc dust, an inorganic vehicle, and selected additives, as required.2.1.2 This specifi cation covers inorganic zinc prim
4、ers that are used as weld-through preconstruction primers. Frequently, the primer is applied by an automatic process to steel plate. Once applied, the zinc primer need not be removed. It can be welded through, touched-up, and overcoated prior to being placed in service. If the resultant system will
5、be exposed to acidic (pH 10) immersion, the primer should be removed.2.2 PIGMENTATION2.2.1 The major pigment component in these coatings is zinc dust of the type described in ASTM D 520 (see Note 12.1).2.2.2 Other pigment components may include welding enhancers, curing aids, tinting colors, suspens
6、ion agents, and pot-life control agents.2.3 VEHICLE TYPES: The vehicle shall be an inorganic self-curing silicate, or other material, as described in Section 4.1 (see Note 12.2).3.

Type III is the highest purity grade, with a maximum lead level of 0.002% by weight. Any grade of zinc dust can be used in the zinc coatings covered by this specifi cation. However, it is important to note that if Type I zinc is used, it is possible to exceed the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for lead when the products are removed by abrasive blasting.
