Designs should therefore avoid, as far as possible, all features that allow water (whether seawater, rainwater or moisture from any source) to be applied, entrapped or retained. These conditions are not only corrosive towards bare metals they also adversely affect the life of protective coatings both directly and by the fact that it is often difficult at areas subject to these conditions to give sound and adequate surface preparation for good paint adhesion and subsequent performance. 

Note 4 Surface preparation for painting is often analysed separately as it may typically form one-third of the total cost. Poor surface preparation can more than halve the life expectancy of a coating (and add over 100% to the total life cost) but save less than 20% of the total capital cost. Correct choice of blasting equipment (e.g. nozzle size, grade of abrasive) can save up to half the surface preparation cost. 

The application of surface treatments to mbbers should produce improved wettability, creation of polar moieties able to react with the adhesive, cracks and heterogeneities should be formed to facilitate the mechanical interlocking with the adhesive, and an efficient removal of antiadherend moieties (zinc stearate, paraffin wax, and processing oils) have to be reached. Several types of surface preparation involving solvent wiping, mechanical and chemical treatments, and primers have been proposed to improve the adhesion of vulcanized SBR soles. However, chlorination with solutions of trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCI) in different solvents is by far the most common surface preparation for mbbers. 

Several environment-friendly surface preparation for the treatment of mbber soles with radiations have been recently studied. These treatments are clean (no chemicals or reactions by-products are produced) and fast, and furthermore online bonding at shoe factory can be produced, so the future trend in surface modification of substrates in shoe industry will be likely directed to the industrial application of those treatments. Corona discharge, low-pressure RF gas plasma, and ultraviolet (UV) treatments have been successfully used at laboratory scale to improve the adhesion of several sole materials in shoe industry. Recently, surface modification of SBR and TR by UV radiation has been industrially demonstrated in shoe industry... 

The surface preparation operations for strip are dependent upon whether the basis material is steel or aluminum. The surface preparation steps for steel strip are minimal in comparison to porcelain enameling on steel sheets because precleaned strip steel is used. Steel strip is nickel immersion plated prior to the enameling step. Surface preparation for aluminum involves only cleaning. The enamel for either basis material is applied by means of spray guns that are aimed at the surface of the moving strip. Two coats are normally applied, the strip being fired after each coat. 

The surfaces prepared for FIM reflect the field evaporation process itself, whereas the surfaces studied by STM are the thermal equilibrium surfaces.

Surface Preparation of the Substrate. This is extremely important for all methods of paint and coatings application. The failure of a paint system is often due not to the paint itself, but because of a failure in surface preparation. For example, an anticorrosive paint applied to a rusty surface will not be effective if the rust falls off taking the new paint with it. For wood and plastic surfaces, old paint or a weathered surface layer may have to be removed. For older metal objects, the removal of corrosion is often required. Sandblasting is one method to remove both the old paint and any corrosion. For new metal objects, a phosphate or chromate layer is often chemically bonded to the metal to provide a surface to which a coating can easily adhere. 

FEP resins have a very low energy surface and are, therefore, very difficult to wet. Surface preparation for improved wetting and bonding of FEP can be done by a solution of sodium in liquid ammonia or naphthalenylsodium in tetrahydrofurane,44... 

A number of prebonding surface preparations for bonding beryllium and its alloys with epoxy adhesives have been suggested in the literature. One procedure is to degrease the substrate with trichloroethylene, followed by immersion in the solution listed below for 5 to 10 min at 23°C. 

The general sequence of surface preparation for ferrous surfaces such as iron, steel, and stainless steel consists of the following methods degreasing, acid etch or alkaline clean, rinse, dry, chemical surface treatment, and priming. The chemical surface treatment step is not considered a standard procedure, but it is sometimes used when optimum quality joints are required. It consists of the formation of a corrosion-preventing film of controlled chemical composition and thickness. These films are a complex mixture of phosphates, fluorides, chromates, sulfates, nitrates, etc. The composition of the film may be the important factor that controls the strength of the bonded joint. 

Alkyd parts are generally very rigid, and the surfaces are hard and stiff. Surface preparation for alkyd parts consists of simple solvent cleaning and mechanical abrasion. Epoxies, urethanes, cyanoacrylates, and thermosetting acrylics are commonly used as structural adhesives. 

As a result of their properties, melamines are often used as decorative laminates. The melamine resins cure via an addition reaction mechanism so no reaction by-products can be produced on postcure as with the phenolic resins. The specific surface preparation for adhesive bonding and the preferred adhesives for bonding melamine and urea parts are similar to those suggested for phenolic resins.

Etching in HF-containing solutions is particularly important as they are involved in almost all cleaning processes for silicon surfaces. It is often the last cleaning step in surface preparation for further processing. The silicon surface that is treated with HF solution is terminated by hydrogen (see Chapter 2).
