Removing Loose Particles - Proceq ZCC 2087 Series Instruction Manual

7.1 Removing loose particles

According to the informative Annex A of the DIN EN ISO 2409 the following three
methods are suitable for removing loose particles:
Brushing
Brush the panel lightly using a soft brush several times backwards and
•
forwards along the diagonals of the lattice pattern.
Adhesive tape
Remove two complete laps of tape and discard.
•
Remove an additional length at a steady (that is not jerked) rate and cut a
•
piece of about 75 mm long. Place the center of the tape over the lattice in a
direction parallel to one set of cuts and smooth into place over the area of the
lattice.
To ensure good contact with the coating, rub the tape firmly with a fingertip or
•
the nail.
Remove the tape within 5 minutes after applying. Grasp the free end of the
•
tape and pull it off steadily in 0.5 s to 1.0 s at an angle which is as close as
possible to 60°.
Since using an adhesive tape is no longer a normative reference, it is possible
to use any adhesive tape. However, we suggest to use a tape with an adhesive
strength on steel between 6N and 10 N. The adhesive strength of coatings can
differ significantly from the manufacturer's specifications on steel. Therefore
it is important to always use the same adhesive tape in order to get
reproducible results.
Compressed air or Nitrogen
Remove all loose particles with compressed air or nitrogen.
