After fabrication the door panels or frame members <br />are washed and de-greased though an automatic washing <br />system. Phosphatizing is one of steps in this pretreatment <br />process. <br />Phosphatizing <br />Phosphatizing makes it possible for paint to give the maximum <br />protection to metal. There are two basic functions of <br />phosphatizing: <br />1. Phosphatizing etches the metal and thereby provides an <br />effective anchor for the paint. Bare metal surfaces allow <br />only the minimum of paint adhesion. Phosphatized metal <br />surface have an affinity for paint and keeps the paint from <br />lifting off or peeling. <br />2. The phosphate coating is non-metallic and acts to keep out <br />any moisture which might break the paint film and reach <br />the base metal. <br />A scratch on untreated metal breaks through the paint and <br />allows rust to work back from the scratch and lifts the paint off. <br />Phosphatizing prevents the creep of rust and restricts the <br />damage to the scratch itself. <br />When phosphatized metal is combined with Steelcraft's top <br />quality baked-on, rust-inhibiting, prime paint, the maximum <br />protection against rust has been achieved. <br />Steelcraft primers <br />All Steelcraft Frames, Doors and Architectural Stick <br />components shall be cleaned, phosphatized and finished <br />standard with one coat of factory baked-on, rust-inhibited <br />primer in accordance with ANSI A250.10-2011 Test Procedure <br />and Acceptance Criteria for Prime Painted Steel Surfaces for <br />Steel Doors and Frames. <br />Omit prime paint is available for Steelcraft doors as cold rolled <br />or galvannealed material. Frames must be primed from Blue <br />Ash, OH, but can be omit prime paint from Chino, CA as <br />galvanealled material only. Doors and frames without prime <br />paint from the factory will limit the manufacturer's warranty. <br />Primer paint testing <br />The industry standard ANSI A250.10-2011 Test Procedure and <br />Acceptance Criteria for Prime Painted Steel Doors and Frames is <br />comprised of the following paint surface tests: <br />• Salt spray testing in accordance with ASTM B117-09. <br />• Condensation testing (humidity) in accordance with ASTM <br />D4585-99. <br />• Impact test in accordance with ASTM D2794-93 (2010)e1. <br />• Film adhesion test in accordance with ASTM D3359-09e2. <br />Primer test results <br />Steelcraft factory applied baked-on primers conform to the <br />industry standard ANSI A250.10-1998 with the following <br />performance: <br />Test Standard Hours Results <br />Salt Spray ASTM B117-09 120 Passed <br />Condensation ASTM D4585-99 480 Passed <br />Impact Test Gardner Direct 20 in. lbs. <br />with 1⁄2 " ball N.A.Passed <br />Adhesion ASTM D3359-09e2 N.A.See <br />Note 1 <br />Notes: <br />1. 4B adhesion, which exceeds the test acceptance level of <br />3B. <br />2. Test procedure ANSI A250.10 is for factory primed steel <br />doors and frames. To insure integrity of the prime painted <br />coating, jobsite storage must be in accordance with <br />sections 2 and 3 of this manual, ANSI/SDI A250.10 and <br />HMMA 840. <br />3. Test procedure ANSI A250.10 is a performance standard for <br />the factory prime applied to steel doors and frames. Film <br />thickness of the primer is not mandated by this standard.General InformationFramesDoorsLights and LouversElevationsHurricaneSpecialtyHardwareFire Rated ProductsPerformanceArchitecturalVariationsVariationsTornadoHome <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 97A9508F-537F-4A89-96AD-A82F9ABD3708
