1 Objective and application

1.1 Objective

These QA standards summarize all regulations relevant to quality concerning the work that needs to be done on behalf of Dürr Systems GmbH when coating EC dip tanks on the inside.

These regulations shall ensure a trouble-free operation of the plant.

The QA standards are based on two things:

p A description of process steps relevant to quality (QA standards)

and

p Checklists required for checking all work done on site.

The completed checklists will have to be submitted to Dürr's site supervisor without explicit request. A process step can only be started, when the checklists of the preceding step or stage have been countersigned and taken note of by Dürr's site supervisor.

The supplier is solely responsible for deciding whether or not to start a new process step. The signature of Dürr's site supervisor does not change this general responsibility that continues to lie with the supplier.

A set of completed checklists is required for acceptance procedure.

1.2 Application

The QA standards regulate the following:

p Quality definition of the vinyl ester resin-based coating systems that shall be

used,

p Certificates of suitability for coating materials, glass fiber mats and other

material required for coating,

p Requirements made of the steel surfaces' condition,

p Application of coating material including all repair work needed and

p Examination and acceptance of the complete coating system

of mild steel tanks (EC dip tanks) that are permanently loaded with electrocoating fluids in the acid range (possibly aqueous solvent mixtures and alkaline cleaning solutions, approx. 5% sodium hydroxide).

Dürr Systems' supplier shall be responsible for conforming to technical rules and legal regulations about storage, transport, health and safety at work, pollution control and waste management. ?

4 Requirements for doing coating work

4.1 Qualifications

Companies doing coating work on behalf of Dürr Systems must have properly skilled personnel and the technical equipment required to allow due workmanship and operating safety.

At least one person (per shift if necessary) shall be responsible and named for supervising and doing the coating work.

The professional skills of the person(s) responsible shall be certified by at least 5 years of experience and a certificate showing that they were responsible for managing/supervising at least two comparable projects (è check list 5).

Submit check list 5 before dispatching the site supervisor in charge.

4.2 Condition of the surface to be coated

Construction (DIN 28051, DIN EN ISO 12944-2, DIN EN IS012944-3)

Steel surfaces must be designed suitable for coating (e.g. DIN 4119, API650).

Surfaces to be coated must be accessible.

Cavities are not permitted and shall be gas-welded tight.

Joints

p Welded joints

Joined by continuous welding.

Spot welds are not permitted. Remove weld beads and sand all welds including overlapping welds (cf. DIN 28051).

p Screwed joints

Shall be avoided, or made of resistant material.

? Check list 5

QA Standards Inside coating of EC dip tanks

Page: 17 of 29 File ID: P:\ZBT\BENUTZER\Krauter\_QS-Manual-02_09_11 en.doc As at: 20.11.2003 Version: 1.0

p Riveted joints

Rivets shall not be permitted.

q Through pipes and flanged joints

DN 80 through pipes for bottom or side flooding systems will have to be insulated where they come into contact with fluids. Inside piping this can be achieved by applying a laminated "inliner" to flanges:

q Tank mounting devices

Tank mounting devices such as holders for flooding pipes or anodes that have been welded on to the tank inside will have to be perfectly coated too to allow electrical insulation.

This requires not only carefully following the surface preparation as described but also taking into account mechanical and other loads, as well as future fixing and mounting of components.

Accordingly grooves and edges will have to be radiused with maximum radii and coated carefully, with additional glass fiber reinforced layers if necessary, with coats not under 3 to 4mm, to avoid temperature and stress cracks.

Other fixing methods such as gluing and laminating of plastic (PVC) pieces will have to be agreed with the buyer and documented accordingly.

Edges and corners

Contrary to what is specified in DIN 28051 edges, grooves, corners and welds shall be radiused min. 8mm.

Check welds throughout, report poor workmanship and repair in compliance with the above specification on the basis of this report.

Follow the acceptance procedure for the system's fitness for coating as described in check list 6.

4.3. Surface preparation and cleaning of steel surfaces

In general the standard cleanness degree Sa 2 ½ - 3 (DIN EN ISO 12944-4) shall be achieved.

4.3.1 Preliminary examination of surface quality

By visually checking the tarnishing behavior, it can be etablished in several test fields if the standard cleanness degree of Sa 2 ½ - 3 can be achieved directly by one sand blasting operation or if intensive HP water jet wash cycles need to be included to remove all corrosion stimulators.

A minimum waiting time shall be observed before doing such an evalution to allow recognizing visual differences such as surface tarnishing caused by mineral salts and corrosion stimulators (see table):

Relative humidity of air

Examination after ... hours

< 40 % Evaluation not possible (rel. humidity of air has to be increased for examination)

> 40 - 60 % 12 - 24 h

> 60 - 80 % 3 - 12 h

Here dew point interval shall be > 3 K

If standard cleanness degree of Sa 2 ½ - 3 cannot be achieved with one sand blasting operation, wet cleaning will be required for removing corrosion stimulators.

Then sand blast again.

If another visual inspection shows that standard cleanness degree of Sa 2 ½ - 3 is still not achieved, even after repeating wet cleaning / sand blasting cycle, special action such as etching shall be agreed.

4.3.2 Surface preparation degrees

ISO 8501-1 includes representative photos that can be used as comparison standards for surface preparation degrees.

It makes a difference whether surface preparation degree Sa 2 ½ - 3 is based on the steel surface's initial condition A, B, C or D.

With a permanent relative humidity of air < 40 % it is possible to sand blast in one operation as described in the above evaluation of cleanness degree (requiring over 40 % relative humidity of air). This shall be documented accordingly.

If the relative humidity of air cannot be decreased permanently < 40 %, it shall be necessary to sand blast by sections and coat within 12 hours after doing the sand blast process (see chapter 3).

4.3.3 Roughness

Roughness and examination of steel surfaces

The necessary "mean" roughness degree of RZ = 60 - 100 µm shall be assessed and recorded across the whole area (DIN EN ISO 12944-4. section 5.1 and DIN ISO 8503 section 2). The cleanness degree of the sand blasted surface will be assessed on the basis of the relevant standards.

If need be, mean roughness Ry 5 shall be determined using brush analyzers as described in DIN ISO 8503 section 4.

Abrasives

The abrasive's hardness and particle size chosen shall allow mean roughness of 60-100 µm. Use no abrasives with edges. You may only use abrasives approved by DIN 8201 sections 6 and 9.

4.3.4 Cleaning

All surfaces must be absolutely free from dust immediately before coating. This can be achieved by using a heavy duty industrial vacuum cleaner.

Remove deposits of abrasives (e.g. from scaffolding and internal assemblies).

?

Page: 20 of 29 File ID: P:\ZBT\BENUTZER\Krauter\_QS-Manual-02_09_11 en.doc As at: 20.11.2003 Version: 1.0

You can check the surface's cleanness for instance by wiping it with a clean and bright cloth.

4.4 Approval of steel surface preparation

Steel surface preparation shall be approved and documented immediately on site by the supplier's site supervisor in charge with regard to preliminary testing, sand blasting quality and cleaning (dust removal) (è check list 7) .

After the approval, the surface shall be primed immediately as specified in the coating description.

4.5 Health and safety at work and environmental protection

All relevant laws and regulations about health and safety at work and pollution control will have to be observed.

5 Carrying out of coating work

5.1 General

This kind of work may only be done by properly skilled and trained personnel. The person in charge must meet the requirements as set out in chapter 4.1 of this guide.

A workflow and inspection plan shall be prepared listing single process steps and will have to be approved by Dürr Systems. An example is shown in check list 8.

5.2 Processing conditions

5.2.1 Preparation of coating material for processing

Only properly trained personnel may be assigned to do this.

For one object to be coated all starting points will be done by the same expert.

However, it will be necessary to check whether all requirements are met as listed in chapter 3.6 (è check list 4).

Resin filled in hobbocks will be mixed thorougly with other components using a pneumatic agitator (approx. 300 to 400 rpm) and taking into consideration the mixing ratios specified. Stir up and mix in any sediment to eliminate all air bubbles in the resin.

However, mixing time is at least three minutes and finishes only when we get a homogeneous mixture without lumps, sediments, etc.

Manual mixing will not be sufficient.

Page: 22 of 29 File ID: P:\ZBT\BENUTZER\Krauter\_QS-Manual-02_09_11 en.doc As at: 20.11.2003 Version: 1.0

Mixing ratios

The mixing ratios to be prepared, i.e. the quantities of hardener and accelerator added to base coat and top coat resin depend on the coating job to be done as well as material and processing temperatures. They are specified in the technical documentation of the coating material maker (è check list 9).

5.3 Coating method

It will be necessary to check whether ambience conditions on site meet the requirements specified for the coating material to ensure that the coating lasts for the time specified. This also applies to drying and curing times.

Temperatures of object and ambient air may not be above or below the maximum and minimum respectively as specified in the technical data sheet.

Coating material may not be applied to surfaces if the surface's temperature is less than 3° C above the air's dew point determined as set out in ISO 8502-4.

Coating may be done manually by roll and brush coating or spray application, preferably airless.

In general glass fiber reinforcement mats shall be inserted manually in the polyester resin with the help of spiked or normal rollers, taking care to eliminate all air bubbles.

Maximum and minimum quantities of binding agent shall be specified, checked and documented per layer or process for saturating glass fiber mats.

5.3.1 Rework cycles of single sections

Document the times allowed for processing the coating material mixed, depending on temperature (è check list 9).

When there's a risk of exceeding rework cycles, processing must be ended to allow the surface coated to cure completely. Before continuing the work it will be necessary to roughen the surface, such as slightly sand blasting.

5.3.2 Overlapping of laminated coats and processing sections

Textile glass fiber mats shall overlap at least 5cm.

When coating by sections, one strip of the adjacent coating already cured will have to be carefully sanded to ensure adequate adhesion for the overlap. The adjacent surface finished shall be covered by plastic sheeting to avoid any overspray to settle on it.

5.3.3 Seal

Only when the coating already applied and cured has been tested and documented, 150 - 200 µm of final seal will be applied curing without bonding using a lambskin roller or airless spraying.

Once the coating has cured examine it and document results in accordance with chapter 7.2.

5.3.4 Consumption

The coating supplier shall be responsible for supplying the quantities required for the coating job on time. If possible they should all be the same batch.

5.4 Repair

Damaged and insufficiently coated spots will have to be conically sanded down to the undamaged substrate and repaired in accordance with the coating maker's specification.

5.5 Method evaluation

The coating method specified and material used must be well proven.

This can be documented by corresponding Dürr Systems references and their long-time behavior.

Measure and record air humidity, surface and air temperatures, and their temperature difference with dew point (è check list 12).

6.3.2 Inspection after curing

Coating will be inspected after the final coat has cured, moreover it will be inspected again later after the seal coat has been applied and cured. Record the inspection results:

? Looking for air und dust inclusions, pores, air bubbles, delamination, pinholes, overspray, surface irregularities, flaws at connecting and overlapping sections, processing defects and the like;

pCoating thickness with gauged or calibrated instruments;

p Pore tester with test voltage 15 kV or 20 - 25 kV

Pores and other coating flaws detected shall be touched up as described in the repair instructions.

The finished coating shall be subjected to at least the following inspections:

p Visually checking surface quality, whether poreless

p Coating thickness measurements to DIN EN ISO 12944-6

p Buchholz / Barcol hardness:

Hardness is determined on test plates painted simultaneously (see 7.1)

Desired Buchholz hardness after 24 h at 20° C: > 80 or

Desired Barcol hardness after 24 h at 20° C: > 30

p Adhesion test for valuating adhesion in conformance with DIN EN 24624

(ISO 4624)

p High voltage test

A high voltage test shall be done to prove that the coating is poreless.

Test voltage shall be approx. 7.5 KV per 1 000 µm, depending on tester, i.e. 15 kV for an approx. coat thickness of 2mm. Other test voltages shall be agreed separately.

The meter used shall be agreed upon, because the designs of different testers may have a strong effect on the reading.

pWipe test

Put cloths soaked with butyl glycol on four different places of the final coat cured, i.e. on the tank bottom in entry, exit and middle zones and on a vertical wall and allow them to react for two hours. Then wipe the damp surface with the cloth. Ensure the coating does not soften, abrade or stick.

Traveling test plates allowing tests such as adhesive strength, Barcol/Buchholz hardness, and resistance tests, if need be, shall be coated in one go with the tank coating process and are part of the quality assurance system.

(The scope of testing (number of test plates) shall be defined in each case.)

Inspection panels

Inspection panels shall be applied as described in DIN EN ISO 12944-7.

It will be necessary to agree with the buyer where to put the inspection panels, namely in areas where the object is susceptible to corrosion.

The panels, for instance, are 1m x 1m mounted on a side wall, on the floor or on the entry/exit front wall.

7.2 Records about inspection panels

Prepare a full report about inspection panels conforming to DIN EN ISO 12944-7/ -8, Annex B for each panel. Their position shall be marked clearly.

Make a drawing showing the position of the inspection panels. If possible the buyer provides drawings where size and position of the inspection panels can be marked.

7.3 Evaluation of coating

Dürr Systems will accept and approve the coating job on the basis of

p the test plates made during the work and their test results.

p tests and visual inspections made at representative spots of the object.

p inspection and approval of all records about all work and testing done during

the coating job.
