Intermal: Polyglass VEF & Corrocoat Armagel.

External: Polyglass Zipcoat.

Substrate

Stainless Steel.

Coating system

•  Abrasive blasted internal and externals to ISO 8501-1 cleanliness standard Sa2 1/2  minimum surface area of 50 microns.
• Applied Polyglass VEF internally to achieve a  DFT of 500 microns.
• Spark test following coating.
• Applied Corrocoat Armagel internally to  achieve a minimum overall DFT of 1850  microns
• Thickness checked.
• Abrasive blasted externals with new abrasive in  accordance with ISO 8501-1to Sa2.
• Applied Polyglass Zipcoat to the externals to achieve a minimum DTF of 800 microns for the drop  line.
• Pack and prepare for dispatch to Dubai.
