"This specification covers a two-component coal tar epoxy-polyamide black (or dark red) paint for structural steel. It is self-priming and exhibits good adhesion to clean structural steel and concrete surfaces. This paint is suitable for exposures in Environmental Zones 2A (frequently wet by fresh water)@ 2B (frequently wet by salt water)@ 2C (fresh water immersion)@ 2D (salt water immersion)@ 3A (chemical@ acidic)@ 3B (chemical@ neutral)@ and 3C (chemical@ alkaline); and is intended for spray application over steel surfaces prepared in accordance with SSPC-SP 6@ ""Commercial Blast Cleaning@"" or SSPC-SP 8@ ""Pickling."" It is to be applied in accordance with SSPC-PA 1@ ""Shop@ Field@ and Maintenance Painting of Steel."" The adhesion of the coating to smooth surfaces such as cold-rolled steel or intact mill scale has been found to be substantially inferior to that attained on blast roughened surfaces."
