Contractors who apply coatings as a water resistive and air barriers for a wall assembly will be more effective if they understand the basic building science principals behind bulk water intrusion in walls. Understanding the leak triangle and utilizing he Three ‘D’ approach – Deflect, Drain, Dry – will help the contractor be more effective in analyzing problems and recommending solutions.
In the application of coating / lining systems, applied film thickness is an important aspect in the execution of the project. Specifications call for a required minimum film build, not to verify material use, but because it relates to the overall performance of the project. Knowing the applied film thickness of the coating / lining system as the job proceeds also helps determine if one has obtained sufficient material to successfully complete the application work as specified.

The mechanical properties of polymeric coatings are often overlooked because researchers are not aware of how modern instrumentation can now aid them in understanding how a particular product may survive in service conditions. In many applications the two main considerations are aesthetics and durability, both of which can be directly related to the mechanical properties of the base material.
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.
