Standard Practice for Evaluating Coatings Applied Over Surfaces Treated With Inhibitors Used to Prevent Flash Rusting of Steel When Water or Water/Abrasive Blasted
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 Water-blast cleaning with (SSPC-TR2/NACE 6G 198; SSPC-SP 5 (WAB)/NACE WAB-1; SSPC-SP 10 (WAB)/NACE WAB-2; SSPC-SP 6 (WAB)/NACE WAB-3; SSPC-SP 14 (WAB)/NACE WAB-8); SSPC-SP 7 (WAB)/NACE WAB-4 or without, (SSPC-SP WJ-1/NACE WJ-1; SSPC-SP WJ-2/NACE WJ-2; SSPC-SP WJ-3/NACE WJ-3; SSPC-SP WJ-4/NACE WJ-4) abrasive, results in flash rusting under some environmental conditions. Inhibitors are used to prevent flash rusting while drying and before coating application. The inhibitor or reaction products of the inhibitor on the substrate becomes part of the coating systems. Coating performance may be influenced by the inhibitor. Soluble contaminants or unreacted inhibitors left on the surface under the coating may cause premature failure. This practice includes a comparison of coating performance with and without inhibitors using various laboratory tests to simulate a range of conditions such as high moisture, marine atmospheric or water immersion.
3.2 The user or specifier must determine the specific test methods to be used and exposure conditions. Some test methods referenced may not be applicable to all types of coatings.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers procedures to evaluate the compatibility of coatings with inhibitors used to prevent flash rusting of steel before application of coatings.
1.2 The inhibitors are used with water-blast cleaning surface preparation and may be used with or without abrasives.
1.3 The manufacturer of the coatings shall be consulted to ensure compatibility of inhibitors with the coatings.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM D5367-16(2021), titled Standard Practice for Evaluating Coatings Applied Over Surfaces Treated With Inhibitors Used to Prevent Flash Rusting of Steel When Water or Water/Abrasive Blasted, establishes procedures to assess the compatibility and performance of protective coatings applied to steel surfaces. These surfaces have been treated with inhibitors to prevent flash rusting after water or water/abrasive blasting - a common surface preparation step in industrial and marine environments. This standard guides users in evaluating whether the use of inhibitors during surface preparation impacts the quality, durability, and adhesion of subsequent coatings, helping to minimize the risk of premature coating failures.
Key Topics
- Flash Rust Prevention: Covers the significance of using inhibitors to prevent flash rusting on steel surfaces that have been cleaned using water-blasting or water/abrasive blasting methods.
- Surface Preparation: Discusses practices for preparing steel surfaces according to recognized cleaning standards before coating, ensuring proper application integrity.
- Evaluation Procedures: Describes how to prepare test specimens and apply coatings for laboratory evaluation using various methodologies to simulate conditions such as marine environments, high humidity, and immersion service.
- Adhesion and Performance Testing: Recommends the use of standardized laboratory tests (e.g., salt spray, controlled condensation, pull-off adhesion) to compare coating performance with and without inhibitors present.
- Reporting Requirements: Stipulates what details to include in evaluation reports, such as surface profile, inhibitor concentration, environmental conditions, applied coating system, and test results.
Applications
ASTM D5367-16(2021) is widely applicable across industries where steel structures require protective coatings, and where water-based cleaning methods are used. Typical sectors include:
- Infrastructure and Construction: Bridges, pipelines, storage tanks, and steel frameworks, especially in environments prone to corrosion and high humidity.
- Marine and Offshore: Ships, offshore platforms, and other marine structures subject to highly corrosive atmospheres, requiring reliable coating systems for steel protection.
- Industrial Facilities: Power plants, processing plants, and facilities with extensive steel surfaces needing protection from rust and environmental wear.
- Coating Manufacturer Evaluations: Manufacturers and specifiers aiming to verify coating system compatibility with specific inhibitors and water-based surface preparation procedures.
By following this standard, stakeholders can:
- Reduce risk of coating adhesion failures due to residual inhibitors or contaminants.
- Optimize maintenance and re-coating schedules by selecting compatible surface preparation and coating processes.
- Demonstrate compliance with industry best practices and international standardization principles.
