November to March is a beautiful time of the year in the wintry climate of the United States and Canada. People participate in all kinds of wintertime activities. It is also the time owners of marine vessels working on the Great Lakes use to do repairs and maintenance, including painting.

Aside from the use of successful track records, it is commonplace for coating specifications to be written based upon test criteria deemed important by specification authorities. But are the tests relevant to the intended service environment? Or has the meaning of the test data been misinterpreted? Perhaps the tests have been ascribed a level of accuracy and dependency that the test method simply cannot deliver. These are vital factors to be considered if a coating specification is to be supported in a meaningful way and to prevent all sorts of problems.

Who can benefit from a coatings program? Owners? Coating Manufacturers? Services Contractors? The answer is really - everyone. Developing Goals, Strategies, and Action Plans will reduce your workload and provide for continuous improvement.
Does the decreasing VOC levels and the increasing restrictions mean lower profits for the coating contractor? Not necessarily. Today, there are new very low VOC, and evenzero VOC, coatings that meet performance standards of the more traditional coatings withwhich we are accustom to using.
