GLOSSARY

Spray Pattern	The configuration of coating sprayed on the surface.
Spread Rate	Coverage, usually at the specified dry film thickness.
SSPC	Steel Structures Painting Council
SSPC-SP-1	Covers the requirements for the solvent cleaning of steel surfaces.A method for removing all visible oil, grease, soil, drawing and cutting compounds, and other soluble contaminants from steel surfaces.Intended for use prior to the application of paint and in conjunction with surface preparation methods specified for the removal of rust, mill of rust, mill scale or paint.
SSPC-SP-10	Covers the requirements for near-white blast cleaning of steel surfaces by the use of abrasives.Near-white blasted surfaces, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, mill scale, rust, paint, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter, except for staining as noted below.Staining shall be limited to no more than 5% of each square inch of surface area and may consist of light shadows, slight streaks, or minor discoloration's caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, or stains of previously applied paint.
SSPC-SP-11	Covers the requirements for power tool cleaning to produce a bare metal surface and to retain or produce a surface profile. (1 mil minimum)Suitable where a roughened, clean, bare metal surface is required, but where abrasive blasting is not feasible or permissible.Differs from SSPC-SP-3 in that SP-3 requires only the removal of loosely adherent materials and does not require producing or retaining a surface profile.Surfaces prepared per this spec, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxide, corrosion products, and other foreign matter slight residues of rust and paint may be left in the lower portions of pits if the original surface is pitted.
SSPC-SP-12	Covers the requirements for Water Blasting steel surfaces in preperation of coating operations.
SSPC-SP-2	Covers the requirements for the hand tool cleaning of steel surfaces.A method of cleaning steel surfaces by the use of non-power hand tools.Removes all loose mill scale, loose rust, loose paint, and other loose detrimental foreign matter . It is not intended that adherent mill scale, rust, and paint be removed by this. Mill scale, rust, and paint are considered adherent if they cannot be removed by lifting with a dull putty knife.ISO 8501-1:1988 or other usual standards may be used to further define the surface, if agreed upon by all parties involved.
SSPC-SP-3	Covers the requirements for the power tool cleaning of steel surfaces.A method of preparing steel surfaces by the use of power assisted hand tools.Removes all loose mill scale, loose rust, loose paint, and other loose detrimental foreign matter, it is not intended that adherent mill scale, rust, and paint be removed by this process. Mill scale, rust, and paint are considered adherent if they cannot be removed by lifting with a dull putty knife.IS0 8501-1:1988 or other visual standards of surface preparation agreed upon by the contracting parties may be used to further define the surface.
SSPC-SP-5	Covers the requirements for white metal blast cleaning of steel surfaces by the use of abrasives.When viewed without magnification the surface shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxides, corrosion products, and other foreign matter.Acceptable variations in appearance that do not affect surface cleanliness include variation caused by the type of steel, original surface condition, thickness of the steel, weld metal, mill or fabrication marks, heat treating, heat affected zones, blasting abrasive, and differences in the blast pattern.SSPC-VIS 1-89 or other visual standards of surface preparation may be specified to supplement the written definition..
SSPC-SP-6	Covers the requirements for commercial blast cleaning of steel surfaces by the use of abrasives.When viewed without magnification the surface shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxides, corrosion products and other foreign matter, except for staining as noted below.Staining shall be limited to no more than 33% of each square inch of surface area and may consist of light shadows, slight streaks or minor discoloration's caused by stains of rust, stains of mill scale, or stains of previously applied paint. Slight residues of rust and paint may also be left in the bottoms of pits, if the original surface was pitted.SSPC-VIS 1-89 may be used to supplement this written spec.
SSPC-SP-7	Covers the requirements for brush-off blast cleaning of steel surfaces by the use of abrasives.When viewed without magnification the surface shall be free of all visible oil, grease, dirt, dust, loose mill scale, loose rust, and loose paint. Tightly adherent mill scale, rust and paint may remain on the surface. Mill scale, rust and paint are considered adherent if they cannot be removed by lifting with a dull putty knife.The entire surface shall be subjected to the abrasive blast. The remaining mill scale, rust or paint shall be tight.SSPC-VIS 1-89 may be used to supplement the written spec.
SSPC-SP-8	Covers the requirements for the pickling of steel surfaces.A method of preparing steel surfaces by chemical reaction, electrolysis, or both. The surfaces when viewed without magnification shall be free of all visible mill scale and rust.
STARGLAZE®	STARGLAZE is a tradename for a group of Carboline Company floor coating products.
Stress Corrosion Cracking	Spontaneous cracking produced by the combined action of corrosion and static stress.
Strong Solvent	Any solvent capable of dissolving large quantities of a specified subject.
Substrate	The surface to be painted.
Surfacer	Pigmented composition for filling depressions in order to obtain a smooth, uniform surface before applying the finish coat.
Surfactant	An additive which reduces surface tension thereby improving wetting or helping to disperse pigments or inhibit foam.
