What is SSPC SP10?

SSPC-SP 10 near-white metal blast cleaning (NACE No. 2) is a standard used for near-white metal blast cleaning put forth by the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) and NACE International Standard. SSPC-SP 10/NACE No. 2 removes all dust, coating, and mill scale.

What’s the difference between SA 2.5 and SP 10?

The two versions were not equal: Sa 2.5 permitted stains, streaks and shadows from rust, mill scale and coatings to remain on up to 15% * of the surface, whereas SP 10 allowed for only 5%. In 2000, SSPC and NACE issued joint standards in anticipation of a merger between the organizations, whose memberships largely overlapped.
