BS EN ISO 11126-5:2018 - Preparation of Steel Substrates before Application of Paints and Related Products

Comprehensive Guidance for Effective Surface Preparation

BS EN ISO 11126-5:2018 is an essential British Standard that provides comprehensive guidance on the preparation of steel substrates prior to the application of paints and related products. This standard is a crucial reference for industries that rely on durable, high-performance coatings, ensuring consistent and reliable surface preparation methods.

Ensuring Surface Integrity for Long-Lasting Coatings

Proper surface preparation is a critical step in the coating process, as it directly impacts the adhesion, durability, and longevity of the applied paint or coating. BS EN ISO 11126-5:2018 outlines the recommended procedures for preparing steel surfaces, including:

• Degreasing and cleaning methods to remove contaminants
• Abrasive blast cleaning techniques to achieve the desired surface profile
• Evaluation and assessment of the prepared surface
• Immediate protection measures to prevent surface degradation
