1.4 DEFINITIONS

A. Environments: The following terms distinguish between different corrosive exposures:

1. "Severe environments" are highly corrosive industrial atmospheres with sustained exposure to high humidity and condensation and with frequent cleaning using strong chemicals. Environments with heavy concentrations of strong chemical fumes and frequent splashing and spilling of harsh chemical products are severe environments.

2. "Moderate environments" are corrosive industrial atmospheres with intermittent exposure to high humidity and condensation, occasional mold and mildew development, and regular cleaning with strong chemicals. Environments with exposure to heavy concentrations of chemical fumes and occasional splashing and spilling of chemical products are moderate environments.

3. "Mild environments" are industrial atmospheres with normal exposure to moderate humidity and condensation, occasional mold and mildew development, and infrequent cleaning with strong chemicals. Environments with low levels of mild chemical fumes and occasional splashing and spilling of chemical products are mild environments. Normal outdoor weathering is also considered a mild environment.

B. Commercial as used in this Section refers to a product well suited for a commercial application.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete one of the following two paragraphs; coordinate with requirements of Division 1 section on product options and substitutions.

B. Substitutions: Not permitted.

C. Requests for substitutions will be considered in accordance with provisions of Section 01600 - Product Requirements.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Use Part 2 to define the scope of painting if not fully defined in a Finish Schedule or on the drawings. These articles must be carefully edited to reflect the surfaces actually found on the project. In some cases, it may be enough to use the first paragraph that says, in effect, "paint everything" along with a list of items not to paint, without exhaustively defining all the different surfaces and items that must be painted. If the project involves repainting some but not all existing painted surfaces, be sure to indicate the extent of the repainting. The descriptions of each system can also be used to further refine the definition of what is to be painted, stained, or clear finished. Refer to manufacturer's Coating Selector Chart on the website for product recommendations by substrate. Delete items not required.
