MECHANICAL SURFACE PREPARATION
Mechanical surface preparation uses handheld power tools (brushing, scraping, abrading).
This form of surface preparation is used when abrasive blasting or the use of water is not an option due to the configuration of the location and environmental constraints.
Mechanical cleaning can be divided in two major categories.
Hand Tool Cleaning SSPC-SP2 (SSI-St3)
A mechanical method of surface preparation involving wire brushing, scraping, chipping and sanding. Not the most desirable method of surface preparation but can be used for mild exposure conditions. Optimum performances of protective coatings should not be expected when hand tool cleaning is employed.

Power Tool Cleaning SSPC-SP3 (SSI-St3)
Power tool cleaning is a method of preparing steel surfaces by using power assisted mechanical cleaning tools. Although usually more effective than hand tool cleaning, it is not considered adequate for use under severe exposure conditions or for immersion applications.
