Subjective probing (scale of 2 to 10)
THE SPECIFICATION
Work to be done Pre-surface preparation Surface preparation Materials Application Inspection Warranty
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Substrate inspection Ambient conditions Compressed air cleanliness Surface profile Surface cleanliness Mixing and thinning procedures Application procedures Coating thickness Holiday inspection Adhesion
Regardless of Technology - Over 80% of All Failures Occur Due to Improper Application
All technologies are installer dependent, including sheet liners, CIPP, fold & form, spray-applied cementitious and polymer coatings Project may dictate installation (downtime, access, condition, etc.) Equipment types are dependent on material
Disadvantages:
- Require experienced skilled application - Solvent-borne require ventilation and are affected by moisture / humidity - Coal tar epoxies contain carcinogens
Methods - Low-High Pressure Water Cleaning - Wet Abrasive Cleaning - Abrasive Blast - Secondary methods include acid etching, degreasers, chlorine rinse, etc.
Structural Repair
NSF/USDA
Moisture Tolerant
Excellent Bond
Ceramic-like Finish
Bond Strength
- Used to evaluate strength of bond between coating and substrate - Exposes potential surface preparation errors and product incompatibilities
Spark Testing
- Used to identify holidays or pinholes in coating
