In 2003 Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) conducted a study to quantify the throughput and cost savings potential of a PAS two-coat system versus a three-coat system. The study showed that a PAS two-coat system had a 31% increase in productivity and direct cost savings of approximately $6 per square foot, with indirect cost savings of $18 per square foot when including the benefits of reduced traffic congestion.17 PAS two-coat systems utilize a zinc-rich primer for galvanic protection; the epoxy and polyurethane layers are replaced by a high-build PAS topcoat.
