Abstract:

The best method for qualifying high performance coatings incorporates field testing and laboratory testing to determine performance characteristics. Recommended practices for cleaning structural steel and applying paints apply to high performance coatings. However, inspection is critical, as both surface cleanliness and film thickness are the exacting parameters that determine the performance of the coating system. Current contracting standards did not contribute to the lack of reliability of high performance coating systems. This report is Appendix A of the main report, FHWA/RD-82/118, "Improved Field Reliability of High Performance Coating Systems - Phase I: Identification of the Technology."
