4.0 Powder, Liquid, and Chemical Cleaning Paint Requirements and Expectations
4.1 JLG Purchasing will receive and review the following with JLG Coatings
Representative prior to approving the supplier’s process. Supplier shall be given a
copy of QAC-084 and prior to the supplier being approved.
QAC-074. Any deviation or non conformance must be approved prior to the supplier
being approved.
4.1.1 All powder and liquid paint process documentation. The supplier must use
the specific manufacturer listed by JLG.
4.1.2 Technical data on all powder and/or liquid paint, application systems,
solvents,
reducers, and wash chemicals.
4.2 Three (3) 4” x 12” x 32 gauge (100mm x 300mm x 0.25mm) ACT (Advanced
Coating Technology) B-1000 panels and a representative batch of
production/sample parts must be coated directly from the supplier’s powder coat
or liquid paint process. SQA and Purchasing will determine the needed sample
size. Samples shall be cut and prepared/washed in the same manner as production
parts. Suppliers will stamp their supplier identification number and date directly
onto the panels. Paint samples must be approved by the SQA Representative.
4.3 JLG must be provided with all supplier quality control process documentation
and a contact person responsible for powder coat and/or liquid paint quality.
Rev. R
4.4 For each special color, the painter shall verify the production parts against a panel
created from the initial lot of material received from the paint manufacturer. The
painter will use paint by the manufacturer name and product code specified by
JLG. Any deviation must be approved by JLG prior to providing any parts.
4.5 The supplier shall have a scheduled maintenance program for the equipment and a
calibration system to insure all equipment and processes are in control.
4.6 The supplier shall comply with all requirements as described in the paint
supplier’s process audit.
4.7 The supplier will notify JLG in writing of any process changes prior to
implementation.
5.0 Pretreatment
5.1 Scope
In an effort to assist suppliers and potential suppliers of powder coated and liquid
painted parts part for JLG Industries, Inc., the following process and coating
specifications apply. These specifications are intended to be the minimum
requirements to meet quality standards of JLG Industries. The following process,
applications, and equipment alternatives are not intended to be all-inclusive or
limiting in nature. They are intended to support potentially viable alternatives,
which can be verified to meet JLG requirements.
5.2 Mechanical Cleaning
5.3 Mechanical cleaning may be needed prior to chemical cleaning. Mechanical

cleaning shall consist of shot blasting, sand blasting, sanding, wire brushing, or
grinding. All Chemical Cleaning
All metallic parts that are painted require chemical cleaning, shall be processed in
accordance with approved and documented procedures. Parts, which have been
chemically cleaned only or mechanically and chemically cleaned, must be given a
conversion coating prior to liquid or powder coating. Chemical cleaning can be
manual spray, automatic spray, or immersion. Chemical cleaning must remove all
surface contaminants and parts must be “water break free”. Parts must be
Rev. R
completely dried after chemical cleaning prior to coating and parts must be coated
immediately. Each stage of chemical operation shall have a documented cycle
time. Suppliers should have a sampling inspection procedure to check a minimum
of 10% of the parts to insure the proper coating has been applied prior to
proceeding to the next operation.
5.3.1 Manual Spray - a hot high pressure (typically 150 - 180°F (65 – 80°C) and
1000 PSI (70 bar)) is used to clean and coat parts. This coating application
shall be confined within spray booth. The surrounding area shall be clean
and well ventilated to eliminate potential dirt contamination on the substrate
surface.
5.3.2 Automatic Spray or Immersion - Automatic wash or immersion systems

generally consist of a minimum of 3 stages up to 9 stages. Additional stages
allow the use of a cleaner followed by a conversion coating, and typically
includes a seal rinse.
Monthly recording of coating weights is required. Panels will be placed in

pretreatment cleaning systems and coated. Recommend ACT or Q-Lab cold roll
steel panels, 4” x 12” x .032” (100 mm x 300 mm x 0.81mm), clean and
unpolished. Recommend weight determination per TT-C-490 strip coating for 15
minutes in 5% chromic acid solutions at 165°F (74°C). Coating weights must yield
45 mg/ft2 (484 mg/m2). These values/test can be secured from chemical
pretreatment supplier. A daily washer titration log approved by JLG Purchasing
department and the suppliers’ pretreatment supplier will be completed and retained
for two years.
6.0 Powder Coating

6.1 Primer
Immediately after parts are chemically cleaned and dried, all parts that are powder
coated must have a primer applied to the conversion coating. Primer can be either
a properly cured electrocoat or an epoxy powder primer. Primer shall meet the
manufacturer’s recommended thickness as described on their data sheets.
Rev. R
Any parts that require the electrocoat or epoxy powder primer will have a
designation for the requirement on the Purchase Order issued by JLG.
6.2 Application
After parts are properly coated with the primer, the powder will be applied with
electrostatic powder coating equipment in accordance to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. This coating application shall be confined within an OSHA
approved spray booth. The surrounding area shall be clean and well ventilated to
eliminate potential dirt contamination in the coating film. Thickness shall be in
accordance with the coating specification (Section 7.0). A Supplier should have a
sampling inspection procedure to check a minimum of 10% of the parts to insure
the proper coating thickness has been applied prior to proceeding to the next
operation.
6.3 Curing
Follow the powder manufacturer’s recommendations for adequate cure.
Temperature adjustments may be necessary to compensate for different types of
substrate and the mass of the substrate. The curing time, curing time at
temperature, and the cooling time for each part must be controlled.
6.4 Packaging
Supplier shall provide appropriate packaging that will ensure the cosmetic quality
is maintained during handling and shipment to JLG. (OSHKOSH Sec J: Supplier
Product Labeling and Packaging Specifications)
7.0 Liquid Paints
7.1 Mixing
Mixing and handling of the liquid paint shall be in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations (technical data sheets). The supplier should have
an approved procedure
and instructions for all mixing processes.
7.2 Application
Rev. R
Parts must be primed and top coated. Primer shall meet the manufacturer’s
recommended thickness as described on their data sheets. Application equipment
varies with part configuration, finish quality, appearance, and production
requirements. Refer to coating suppliers technical data sheets. Thickness shall be in
accordance with the coating specification (Section 7.0). A Supplier should have a
sampling inspection procedure to check a minimum of 10% of the parts to insure the
proper coating thickness has been applied prior to proceeding to the next operation.
7.3 Curing
Two component materials cure chemically and can be either air-dried or force cured.
Depending on formulation, air dry times range from 4-16 hours (generally cannot be
handled for 24 hours). These coatings can be force cured at 160-200°F (70 - 90°C)
for 20 minutes. Generally, short pot life material (20 minutes) will have a faster
cure. If force cured, parts must be allowed to cool before handling and the curing
time, curing time at temperature, and the cooling time for each part must be
controlled.
7.4 Packaging
Supplier shall provide appropriate packaging that will ensure the cosmetic quality is
maintained during handling and shipment to JLG. (OSHKOSH Sec J: Supplier
Product Labeling and Packaging Specifications)
