C5-I Typical coating system
More about selecting coating systems for general steel constructions including C5 in our Guide to ISO 12944.
| Condition: |
A high durability coating system for environmental conditions classified as C5 I-very high corrosivity (industrial) * |
||||||||
| Substrate: | Steel | ||||||||
| C4 - high corrosivity according to ISO 12944 | C5 I - very high corrosivity according to ISO 12944 | C5 M - very high corrosivity according to ISO 12944 | |||||||
| Expected durability (acc. ISO 12944) |
Low | Medium | High | Low | Medium | High | Low | Medium | High |
| Surface preparation: | Blast cleaning to Sa 2½ according to ISO 8501-1. The substrate must be dry and free from salts and other contaminants. Prior to blast cleaning, oil and grease should be removed by solvent cleaning according to SSPC-SP1. Remove weld spatter and smooth weld seams and sharp edges as applicable. Sharp edges, weld seams, corners and other areas that are likely to receive less dry film thickness than specified, should be stripe coated. Please read the actual product datasheet for more information. |

* Since the update of ISO12944-2 in 2017, the C5 industrial and marine envvironments, C5I and C5M, have been replaced by a single C5 (very high corrosivity) environment.
- Industrial areas prone to high humidity and chemical attack. Coastal areas with high salinity.
- Facilities exposed to permanent condensation and chemicals.
As the letter 'l' (lower case L) is used to abreviate low durability, it is important to check what durability/environment combination is the basis for the coating system design when C5I or C5l is used in a design specification. Using the lower case letter "i" creates less confision, C5i or C5-i does however refer to the now replaced version of the standard.
