SOMAY Recommended
Corrosion Inhibitive Coating Systems
For Steel Buildings Next to Salt Water
Ocean Environment In Tropical Climates

 

System A – Good Surface Preparation

    Remove all rust by hand preparation to have a clean, rust free, firm surface.
    All Alkyd (oil) Based Paint System (Not recommended over galvanized coatings)
    All single-component paints – no mixing of parts A & B prior to application.

      First Coat: SOMAY Product No. 636 – Ferrous Metal Primer, made to U.S. Fed. Govt. Spec. TT-P-636 (Red Oxide Color).  Rust Inhibitive.  Apply at max. 365 sq. ft./gal. to develop a min. of 2 mils DFT.

      Second Coat: SOMAY Product No. 237 – Polyurethane High Gloss Enamel (White) – Standard stock color.  Apply at max. 407 sq. ft./gal. to develop min. 2 mils DFT.

      Third Coat: SOMAY Product No. 237 – Polyurethane High Gloss Enamel (White) – Standard stock color.  Apply at max. 407 sq. ft./gal. to develop min. 2 mils DFT.

    Durability:  This system is estimated at 4-5 years durability on exterior exposure to salt sea air in a tropical climate.

System B – Fair to Good Surface Preparation

    All loose rust/scale removed by hand preparation.  Need "surface tolerant" prime coat to go over rusty but firm surfaces.

      First Coat: SOMAY/Carboline Rustbond Universal Primer/Tie coat surface tolerant coating (Clear) 2-component epoxy.  Apply at max. 786 sq. ft./gal. to develop min. 2 mils DFT.

      Second Coat: Product No. 8630, SOMAY "Steri-Shield" Fungistatic Paint.  Note, has rust inhibitive properties, 100% acrylic latex enamel (eggshell finish), "Pure White" (stock color).  Apply at max. 368 sq. ft./gal. to develop min. 2 mils DFT.

      Third Coat: Product No. 8630, SOMAY "Steri-Shield" Fungistatic Paint. 100% acrylic latex enamel (eggshell finish), "Pure White" (stock color).  Apply at max. 368 sq. ft./gal. to develop min. 2 mils  DFT.

    Durability:  This system is estimated at 6-8 years durability on exterior exposure to salt sea air in a tropical climate.

    NOTE:  SOMAY 8630 is a Direct t o Metal (DTM) coating, excellent for use over galvanized coatings.

System C – Fair to Good Surface Preparation

    This is an all epoxy Corrosion Inhibitive System.  All loose rust/scale removed by hand preparation.  Need "surface tolerant" prime coat to go over rusty but firm surfaces.

      First Coat: SOMAY/Carboline Rustbond Universal Primer/Tie Coat surface tolerant coating (Clear) 2-component epoxy.  Apply at max. 786 sq. ft./gal. to develop min. 2 mils DFT.

      Second Coat: SOMAY/Carboline 890 – High gloss, high-build, high solids epoxy.  2-component; 1:1 mix ratio (Part A : Part B). White.  Apply at max. 241 sq. ft./gal. to develop minimum 5 mils DFT.

    Durability:  This system is estimated at 8-10 years durability on exterior exposure to salt sea air in a tropical climate.

    Note:  Exposed epoxy coating will lose gloss and "chalk" on exterior exposure.

System D – Superior Surface Preparation

    Sandblast to SSPC-SP-6 – Commercial sandblast to completely remove all rust and corrosion, for a totally clean, firm surface prior to application of any coating.  Apply coating promptly before steel surface has an opportunity to start corroding again.

      First Coat: SOMAY/Carboline 890 – High gloss, high-build, high solids epoxy.  2-component; 1:1 mix ratio (Part A:Part B). White.  Apply at max. 241 sq. ft./gal. to develop minimum 5 mils DFT.

      Second Coat: SOMAY/Carboline 134HG – Aliphatically cured, Acrylic Polyurethane, high gloss, high solids finish coat.  2-component, 4:1 mix ratio (Part A:Part B), White stock color.  Apply at max. 561 sq.ft./gal. to develop min. 2 mils DFT. 

    Note:  This coating has exceptional resistance to weathering and normally will keep its glossy look for many years.

    Durability:  This system is estimated at 10-12 years durability on exterior exposure to salt sea air in a tropical climate.

Note: All spreading rates are theoretical, based on Total Volume Solids and assume 100% transfer efficiency to a very smooth, non-porous surface that has been properly prepared.  Customer must make proper allowances for less than perfect theoretical conditions
