The current U.S. Navy underwater hull surface preparation strategy is to completely remove the coating systems after an 8-year service life. This is accomplished through abrasive blasting or ultra-high water-jetting (UHPWJ) and is the only strategy approved under NAVSEA Standard Item 009-32 (preservation). Surface preparation in the commercial arena (general cargo fleet, tankers, bulkers, and cruise liners) generally consists of repairing the system at 36–60-month intervals by removing only loose or delaminated coating, applying primer to exposed steel, adding additional anti-corrosive as needed and applying full antifouling coats. Such a practice is termed “spot-and-sweep blasting”.

This presentation will outline the results and conclusions of a number of years of testing and experience in surface preparation for high-performance coatings. Testing has shown that there are several important variables that are not routinely monitored and controlled on most coating projects. The pertinent variables will be identified, and guidance will be provided on appropriate treatment of the variables to achieve the maximum results from the chosen coating.
