RETAINING PRE-CONSTRUCTION PRIMERS UNDER STANDARD LINING SYSTEMS
The information presented in this article results from an investigation performed as part of a project on preconstruction primers (PCP) sponsored by MARITECH/ASE, formerly the National Shipbuilding Research Program, Panel SP-3, Surface Preparation and Coatings. Typically, in the United States, the PCP has been used as a temporary coating to protect steel from corrosion during welding, storage, and fabrication. The overall objective of this project was to investigate the feasibility of retaining the PCP as the permanent primer for ballast tank, fuel oil tank, and other immersion areas requiring protective coatings systems. The article discusses the history of PCPs, European PCP selection criteria, process controls for dry film thickness, topcoat selection criteria, secondary surface preparation, and qualification testing. A summary of the findings and conclusions of a recent survey of European shipyards and coating manufacturers is also presented.
