It is important to ensure that all personnel on site have access to accurate, up to date technical
information on the many products, materials and equipment used on a project. In most cases
individual products are not used in isolation, but form part of a building process. Also a particular
manufacturer's and/or supplier's requirements for handling, storage, preparation, installation,
finishing and protection of their product can vary from what might be considered the norm. Access
to technical information can help overcome this potential problem.

appearance only not for durability testing).
1.14
CERTIFY COATINGS
Certify on request, compliance with this specification and support with control and
sampling records. Test for film thickness to BS 3900, part C5, method No. 4, using
method (b) or to AS/NZ 1580.108.1 for certifying thickness and method (a) where any
dispute arises as to the thickness provided.
The coating should be applied by an applicator who can certify that the coating has been applied in
accordance with the specification.

PRODUCTS
Materials
2.1
POWDER COATING
Single coat polyester based powder coating for use on interior or exterior architectural
aluminium products. Refer to SELECTIONS for system and colour.
Suitable for interior or exterior use.
3.
EXECUTION
Conditions
3.1
GENERALLY
Powder coat articles to AS 3715, AS 4506 and WANZ guides for powder coatings on
architectural aluminium products, and as specified.
3.2
SURFACE PREPARATION
Remove all foreign matter from metal surface to be powder coated. Remove scale,
grease, cutting oil, welding splatter, grind off burrs, welding slag and sharp arrises and all
other defects that could affect appearance.

3.3
SURFACE PRE-TREATMENT
Condition the surface to render it suitable for the selected coating to be applied. This pretreatment should impart uniformity throughout all treated workpiece surfaces, irrespective
of the source of the metal or the contaminants that might adhere.
Attention to this pre-treatment stage is essential in order to achieve the full potential of the powder
coating. Surface pre-treatment varies depending on specific end-use requirements of the finished
products - from a single-step cleansing operation to a multi-stage sophisticated pre-treatment which
deposits a conversion coating on the surface of the metal.
3.4
CONDITIONS FOR PREPARING STEELWORK
Prepare steelwork in conditions suitable for the application of coatings. Carry out
preparation and coating applications under cover, in a controlled environment and with
adequate lighting.
Preparation - generally
3.5
ACID CLEANING
Remove rust, scale and zinc oxides using acid or alkali solution.
Water rinse and dry. If conversion coating system does not follow, the work must be dried rapidly
and effectively to prevent rusting of the surface.
3.6
WIRE BRUSHING AND POWER TOOL CLEANING
Remove oil and grease by the use of solvents, detergent, emulsion cleaners and alkali
cleaners. Scrape and power wire brush to minimum class St 2 finish to AS 1627.2.
Clean to bright metal, avoid producing a polished surface. Check that no burrs or sharp
arrises remain which may prevent the full coating thickness being attained. Alternative
method includes abrasive blasting AS 1627.4, Class 1.
Delete this clause if the following clause is used.
3.7
ABRASIVE BLASTING
Remove oil and grease by the use of solvents. Abrasive blast clean to a class 2½ finish
to AS 1627.4. Clean to bright metal, but avoid producing a polished surface. Select grit
type and equipment such that the cleaned surface profile between peaks and valleys
does not exceed one third of the dry film thickness. Check that no burrs or sharp arrises
remain which may prevent the full coating thickness being attained.
Preparation - aluminium
3.8
CHEMICAL SURFACE PRE-TREATMENT
Ensure substrate is clean and pre-treated as required. Components must receive a full
multi stage chromate or chrome phosphate conversion coating to clean and condition the
substrate.
Preparation - iron/steel
3.9
CHEMICAL SURFACE PRE-TREATMENT
Either iron phosphate or zinc phosphate conversion coatings to provide corrosion
resistance.
3.10
DEGASSING POROUS ZINC LAYERS
Fully de-gas the substrate by heating the object to a temperature 15°C above the peak
metal temperature.
3.11
PREPARATION FOR CORROSION PROTECTION
Remove all slag. For welds exposed to view, remove splatter and grind to a neat, clean
finish.
Sand blast or wire brush after completion of the fabrication. Preclean steelwork to AS
1627.1 followed by acid pickling to AS 1627.5. Apply the required coating to the coating
manufacturers' requirements. Apply coating within 4 hours of preparation. Work off site
wherever possible. Surfaces that are in contact or near contact to receive specified
coating before assembly.

3.12
PREPARATION FOR GALVANIZED SURFACES
Remove grease, oil and other solvent-soluble contaminants by wiping with mineral
turpentine or white spirit. Finally wipe with a clean solvent. Allow to dry and proceed with
the next operation immediately. Abrade surfaces to a medium coarse type finish to
provide an adhesion key.
Priming
3.13
PRIMING GENERALLY
Ensure substrate is clean and pre-treated to manufacturer's recommendations prior to
priming commencing. Apply the relevant primer as a system with Dulux polyester
topcoat. Carefully prepare the steel surface and apply Dulux primer to manufacturer's
instructions:
- degrease and abrasive blast clean to class 2.5 or other selected pre-treatment process
and apply Dulux primer as per manufacturer's recommendations.
- apply Dulux polyester topcoat 60 to 80 microns
For less aggressive environments or when abrasive blasting is not possible, a chemical pretreatment can be used but reduced performance is to be expected.
Application - coating metals
3.14
APPLY DULUX POWDERCOATING
Apply Dulux powder coatings to the recommended average thickness specified for the
selected powder coating on architectural aluminium products.
Pre-treatment to manufacturer's recommendation.
Completion
3.15
REPAIR WORK
In situ repair work of warranty polyester or fluoropolymer coated aluminium is only
permitted after receiving written authority. All repair work to Dulux manufacturer's
recommendations. Replace all damaged material.
3.16
PROTECTIVE COVERINGS DURING TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION
Provide protective coverings and coatings where required to prevent marking of surfaces
visible in the completed work and to protect aluminium joinery from following trades.
Remove protection on completion.
Modify this clause to suit project requirements. Protective coverings and coatings are not usually
supplied automatically. Additional protective coverings are required to protect from following work
such as plastering and painting. Refer to AS 3715, appendix D for further information.
3.17
ENSURE
Ensure all elements are free of marks or blemishes.
3.18
REPLACE
Replace damaged, cracked or marked elements.
3.19
