Now more than ever, epoxy coatings on concrete will only prove successful if diligent care is given to the details of concrete preparation. Preparation is more than grinding or facing of an existing surface and should ideally begin in the developmental stages of the structure.
Now more than ever, epoxy coatings on concrete will only prove successful if diligent care is given to the details of concrete preparation. Preparation is more than grinding or facing of an existing surface and should ideally begin in the developmental stages of the structure. Identifying the presence or lack of design preparation is the responsibility of the coatings contractor and knowing how to implement an appropriate work around if it is lacking will ultimately bring predictable and repeatable success.
The creepage of corrosion underneath a coatings film applied to a steel test panel is often used as a performance test for the anti-corrosion properties of a coating system. Underfilm corrosion creep, also sometimes referred as scribe creep in the laboratory environment, is defined as the degree of corrosion emanating away from a scribe line underneath a coating film applied to a steel substrate.

Details of a new protocol for evaluating the effectiveness of coatings to reduce corrosion of steel structures is presented in this paper. Basic concepts of accelerated testing specified in American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standards and recent research investigations were used to develop a procedure that can provide conclusive results within 2400 hours of exposure as compared to more than 5000 hours in current practices.
Successful repair material and coating applications are dependent on proper concrete surface preparation where different technologies and methods must be reviewed and characterized, as well as quality control methods used to increase the successful application of materials applied to existing concrete surfaces.
