Galvanized mast arms support uncounted numbers of traffic signals and signage throughout the United States. The proportion of these that have a “duplex” coating system (both galvanizing and organic coatings) is unknown. However, the number is surely significant, and the number of coating system failures is also significant.
Galvanized mast arms support uncounted numbers of traffic signals and signage throughout the United States. The proportion of these that have a “duplex” coating system (both galvanizing and organic coatings) is unknown. However, the number is surely significant, and the number of coating system failures is also significant. The Florida Department of Transportation has estimated there are at least 2,400 mast arm coating failures throughout the State, 150 in the Jacksonville, FL area alone. The authors will discuss findings and experiences from investigating the causes for failures of the mast arm duplex systems and remedies available to owners.
While commercial painting is often thought to be less rigorous or less technical than industrial painting, the commercial painting industry has its own set of demands on a coating and is not without its share of coating problems. The authors experience demonstrates that there are commonalities in failures of coatings in commercial painting.

Industrial and marine protective coating systems are most commonly applied without incident and perform as expected over their anticipated service life. However, occasionally, a coating system will fail prematurely, for unexpected reasons, and with expensive consequences. This paper addresses those unexpected failures and provides reasons and remedies for such occurrences.
This presentation will focus on the performance and aesthetic issues encountered when painting masonry surfaces. Contractors will also learn how to cost-effectively add color and improve appearance and weather protection to masonry jobs. Objectives of the presentation are: education on proper surface preparation, how to select an appropriate coating for a long-lasting finish and new coating technology.
