from the sea coast. In such conditions UV rays will accelerate theerosion of paint coatings and will lead to severe chalking andflaking of paint film. In such conditions thorough washing of thesurfaces is essential. Pure Chlorinated Rubber paint should be usedon all such surfaces. However currently in India exterior emulsions,gloss enamels, etc. are often used. Avoid using dark colours inthese areas as they absorb the sun's rays keeping in the heat.Regional climate and light conditions may also influence yourcolour selections. The warm regions of the country, people oftenuse vibrant colours while in more temperate climates thosecolours would look harsh and out of place. Painting System: On metal surface use 2 coats of Linosol ChloroRubber Paint over a coat of Linosol Chloro Rubber Self Priming or 3

coats of Luxol High Gloss over a coat of Luxol Zinc Chromate Primer. On wooden surface use 2 coats of LinosolChloro Rubber Paint over a coat of Linosol Chloro Rubber Self Priming. On plastered surface 1 coat of Tartarugawould be the best option.

Economic qualityshould not be used as top coat.

Surface Cold Storage Do's: Low temperature always prevails when cold storage is inoperation. Therefore the temperature need to be normal beforepainting. It should be well ventilated. Cold storage is advised after3 to 4 days of painting to clear all VOC's and solvent smell if any. Painting System: On interior walls apply 1 coat of Self PrimingLinosol Chloro Rubber Paint followed by 2 more coats without anydilution. On metal surfaces use 1 coat of Linosol Chloro Rubber asbase coat followed by 2 coats of Luxol HG colour as per customer'schoice.

Surface Copper Do's: Priming should not be applied directly on the metal. Sandthe surface to remove all oxides of copper, dust. Clean it withsolvent to remove any oiliness. Painting System: Racks & Equipment - For gloss finish apply 1 coatof Bison Wash Primer followed by 2 coats of Luxol High Gloss.Colour according to one's choice. For transparent finish apply1coat of Bison Wash Primer followed by 2 coats of Luxol Clear or074.

Surface Damp walls Do's: Penetrating dampness is the most common form ofdampness in building. The presence of moisture on the walls orceiling is seen in many ways. These are hair line cracks, leakagefrom concealed pipes, cracks in rain water pipes, waterlogging onthe parapet or on the roof, from the sub-soil, water the sub-soil,water penetration from structural defects, condensation or poorventilation, deliquescent salts due to poor quality bricks and faultysand quality etc. Painting System: Don't take the painting job under Berger. Askthe owner or engineer or project people to rectify the problem

through professionals, who do damp proof chemical jobs. Proper rectification is essential before the painting.Once that is done then follow these steps. For Interior use 1coat Illusion Sealer + I coat Berger Cement Primer(wT) + 2 coats Happy wall putty + 1 coat Berger Cement Primer (ST) + 2 to 3 coats of Breathe Easy or Silk orRangoli Easy Clean or Rangoli Fashion Finish or Bison Super Emulsion or Bison Super Acrylic Distemper as per

Surface Drinking Water Tank Do's: Water tanks are liquid storage containers. Generally this ismade of concrete, MS sheet, PVC tank etc. Over a period of time,water reacts with surfaces, as on metal it develops rust, on concreteit develops fungus growth and algae, etc. This results incontamination, which is unhygienic. In case of metal tank, if itcontinues for a longer time, the tank might have to be replaceddue to corrosion, which is expensive. In case of a concrete tank itmight lead to severe dampness on the tank and so affect the mainbuilding. In most cases it is seen. Painting System: For interior (MS metal) no primer is required.

Apply 3 coats of Berger Asphaltene Black. It is important to remember that, while painting the tank from insidethe cover must be kept open till all 3 coats are applied. Give 24 hrs between 1st and 2nd coat and 2nd and 3rdcoat. Keep the tank open (or another 3 to 4 days to harden the paint film. After this only, should water be filled.Even after that water should be rinsed out twice or thrice to avoid smell, if any. Follow some steps in case of aconcrete tank except, here the 1st coat should be thinned.

Surface Ducting Do's: It is an enclosed tube either of circular type or box type usedfor carrying liquid or gaseous matter. Generally it is used to carryhot air throughout a building's heating system for ventilation orfor air conditioning or for carrying fumes from manufacturingprocesses. Often it is made of G.I. sheet and it is left unpaintedinside. In most cases water leakage happens due to improperpainting system. Painting System: For G.I. sheet apply 1 coat of wash primerfollowed by 1 coat of Luxol Zinc Chrome Primer. After drying, onjoints apply Luxol Knifing Putty thoroughly and dry it completely.

Then apply 2 coats of LHG or 2 coats of Bitolin A/A Heat resistant Black. Ensure joints and holes are properlycovered.

Surface Efflorescence Do's: This occurs due to evaporation of water from the solution ofsoluble salts which rise to the surface. It happens as white fluffydeposits or white spots around the wall. All affected areas shouldbe washed using wire or coir brush with 10% phosphoric acid(P2S04) solution. Allow the surface to dry completely. Wash againwith clean water and dry. Painting System: For interior walls apply 1or 2 coats of Sealerfollowed by 077 primer. Allow it to dry fully. Apply Happy WallPutty 2 coats for smooth finish. Then apply 1 coat 073 Primer(Berger Cement Primer Solvent Thinnable). After this apply on top

coat as per your choice. For exterior walls apply 1 or 2 coats of Illusion Sealer depending on the efflorescenceeffect and the environmental conditions. In a coastal belt it is advised to give 2 coats. Apply 1 coat ofWeatherCoat Exterior Primer. To get best result apply 2 coats of 775 primer followed by 2 coats of WeatherCoatAll Guard or 2 coats of WeatherCoat Longlife.

Surface Fiberglass Do's: Glass is melted and drawn out into fine fibres and woven into a tough, light, strong material. Then a

combination of fiberglass and Polyester resin is moulded intovarious shapes. Painting System: Apply 1 coat of Epilux 4 Clear Varnish. Then apply1 or 2 coats of Epilux Putty. Allow it to dry fully. Give a gap of 2/3days time before finishing the coating. Apply 2 coats of BergerThane PU Enamel or Epilux 4 Enamel.

Surface Fire Damaged Do's: This refers to surfaces affected by smoke, heat, oil or anywater soluble matter. As a result of which paint coatings get burntand blistered. The affected paint film must be completely removedand the surface has to be given absolutely new face lift. Painting System: Sand the surface with Water Paper no. 150/220to remove all affected old paint film, loose materials, dust, etc. Thenwash with soap water(10%) to remove all oiliness as much aspossible and rinse with clean soft water. For interior apply 1 or 2coats of Illusion Sealer followed by 1coat of 077 Primer. Give 4 to 6hrs. drying time for the surface to dry completely. Apply 2 coats of

Happy Wall Putty giving overnight interval between the coats. Sand it with Water Paper no. 280/320 to getsmooth and even surface. Apply 1or 2 coats of 073 Primer and allow it to dry completely.

The balance application to be followed is as given above.

Surface Gas Holder Do's: Often called a Gas storage tank or Gasometer's. There is aplunger in this type of tank. When the gas increases in the tank itgoes up and when the gas leaves the tank it goes down. As a resultfriction takes place between the plunger and the wall of the tank.Therefore, such paint should be used which can withstand thefriction. These tanks are often prone to chemical attack. Surfacesanding and cleaning is very important. It must be cleaned withzero rust inside the tank, which may require sand blast cleaning. Painting System: For inside use 2 coats Antisaline Metallic Primerfollowed by 2-3 coats of High Build Black. Give 4-5 days time for

solvents to evaporate. To store petrol apply 2 coats of Epilux 610 Primer followed by 2 coats of Epilux 4 H/BEnamel without dilution. For outside use 2 coats of Redoxide Zinc Chromate Primer (IS-2074) or Butterfly A/CMetal Primer followed by 2 coats of Luxol High Gloss Enamel.

Surface G.I. Sheet Do's: G.I.Sheet is a zinc coating on MS plate/pipe by a hot dipelectrolyte process. The main problem here is gripping andadhesion for paint film. Surface preparation - Remove all oil, greaseand contaminants by washing with MTO. Then wash again with10% liquid soap solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean soft water. Ifthe G.I. surface is found to be weathered, rub the surface with wirebrush or Water Paper no. 150. Ensure there is absolutely no rust.Wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth and ensure the surface iscompletely dry.

Surface Oil Storage Tank Do's: Oil storage tanks are subject to oil spillage and/or,contamination of oil on exterior surfaces and therefore no specialpaints are required. It can be done with aluminium finish ordurable enamel gloss finish. It is advised to paint with aluminiumpaint which will minimise heat absorption or you can use LuxolHigh Gloss S/w. Painting System: For Interior surface sandblasting is required to astd - Sa2 / Sa2.5 followed by 1 coat of Epilux 610 Primer + I coat ofEpilux 4 H/B MIO + 2 coats of Epilux 4 HB Enamel or Epilux 4Enamel. For Exterior sand the surface with Water Paper no. 150/180

and wipe clean with MTO/NC Thinner and ensure all rusts are removed and free from oily/greasy substance.Apply 1 or 2 coats of Redoxide Zinc Chromote Primer IS-2074 or Butterfly A/C Metal Primer followed by 2 coatsof Tinted IS-2339 or Tinted Salvaline Alum.

Surface Glass Do's: It is manufactured with silica, soda, lime and potash.Generally it is a smooth, transparent, translucent, non-absorbent,non-porous and brittle. For application of paint it needs to becleaned with MTO/N.C. Thinner followed by 2 washings with soapwater, so that there are no foreign materials like grease, dust, oil,etc. Rinse it twice with clean water and dry completely.

For mattapply 2-3 coats of Silk or Rangoli Easy Clean or Rangoli FashionFinish or Bison Emulsion as per your choice.

Surface Hairline Cracks Do's: These are very fine cracks appearing on bare surfaces or onpreviously painted surface. When the surface is painted the crackswill often still be visible. Secondly, there will be cracks on dissimilarsurfaces. There are many reasons behind these cracking. The mainreason is difference in coefficient of expansion of different surfaces.If the cracks are visible on the beams and pillars, it is onarchitectural problem. Which must be rectified by the structuralengineer. On walls where cracks are visible, cut the crocks in "V"shape by 1" depth. Fill the V shape by one-third with a sand cementmixture of 1:6 ratio. Allow it to dry/cure fully. Then fill the anotherone-third with the same mixture. Which means two-thirds of the V

shape cut is filled. Then fill the balance one-third Happy Wall putty mixed with Recron 3s fibre 3 mm length. Add100 gm of Recron 3s in 20 kg putty and fill the balance gap. There are crack filler tapes available in the market.This can be applied and then painted over. Painting System: For Interior and Exterior application see 'Brick work'.

Surface Hard Wood Do's: Hardwood is wood from angiosperm trees. It comes from precious trees like Saguan/Teak, Walnut,Mahogany, Oak, Rosewood, etc. These woods are used for making wooden furniture. The speciality is thebeautiful wood grains. Furniture of this kind is painted with transparent coatings like spirit polish, Melamine,


9 of 11 23-11-2013 21:37

Polyurethane coating or Polyester coating. For this the woodensurfaces need to be sanded to make it even and smooth. Thisrequires manpower and time. Painting System: For Interior apply Single Pack PU on Spirit polish.Then apply Melamine 2 Pack Finish. Then 100% PU 2 Pack interiorquality and then 3 Pack Polyester Coating. For Exterior apply 100%PU 2 Pack exterior quality.

Surface Highway / Runway Marking Do's: It is used on asphalt and or concrete surfaces. It requires highabrasion-resistant paint which can withstand constant tyre impactand pressure. Painting System: For Highway use Guideline Road Marking Paint.For Runway use Guideline Runway Marking Paint. A water basedluminescent highway or roadway paint composition that containsa fine powdered luminescent substance.

Surface Lime Washed Do's: Lime is basically a chalky substance. On surfaces like this nopaint can grip. Therefore lime has to be removed completely bywire brushing, sand papering, etc. Lime is alkaline in nature,therefore after removal the surface has to be checked by pH paper.In such cases the pH value must be below 11. Therefore, 100% limeremoval and checking pH value is must. Painting System: For Interior and Exterior application see 'Brickwork'.

Surface MY-One Plaster Do's: The only problem is "smoothness" of the wall and joint marksbetween the shutters. Holes in a line across the vertical walls. Or athin layer of oil coating on the surface. Therefore it is advised tosand the surface with an instrument like a disc sander. This willsolve the problems of oil layer and will mask the surface roughness.Before doing this all holes must be sealed with sand/cement/mastercreat M81 mixture. Painting System: For Interior walls (after grinding is over) apply 1coat of primer with proper dilution and allow it to dry completely.Then apply 2 coats of Happy wall Acrylic Putty giving overnight

interval between the coats. After drying sand the putty lightly with sandpaper no. 100/120. Then apply anothercoat of primer with proper dilution as above and allow it to dry completely. After that apply 2 to 3 coats of finishduly strained through fine cloth and 4 to 6 hrs interval between the coats. For Exterior walls (after grinding isover) Texture finish can be done the way we do to new walls. For smooth finish, apply 2 coats Bison ExteriorPutty followed by 1 coat WeatherCoat Exterior Primer, followed by 2 coats of Exterior Emulsion. lf fund permits,you can apply 1 coat of Sealer before primer. In case of a texture application, you can apply exterior texturecoating followed by 2 coats of top coat exterior emulsion like WeatherCoat Smooth / WeatherCoat All Guard /Walmasta.
