Coatings and Concrete: Understanding the Substrate
Available for download

Before coating concrete, you must first know what the substrate is that you are working on. Since all concrete floors are not the same there is no one, size fits all system. In fact, many buildings will have several different types of concrete floors. Add to that the different mix designs, placement techniques and environmental conditions and you end up with a menagerie of concrete floors exhibiting a wide variety of properties.

Understanding these challenges is an essential first step to specifying or applying a concrete floor coating system. This article pertains to the observations, testing and procedures that should be done prior to the commencement of surface preparation or coating application.
