Moisture Testing and Inspecting for Concrete Floors to Receive Coatings

Moisture Testing and Inspecting for Concrete Floors to Receive Coatings
Available for download

The importance of moisture testing of concrete floors cannot be stressed enough. Moisture is a leading cause of coatings failures on concrete floors. There are many ways moisture can affect floor coatings on concrete. Moisture testing alone is not sufficient enough at detecting all of the potential problems. Inspecting a building prior to performing any tests will provide a much clearer picture of the potential problems moisture in both liquid and vapor form can pose.

The importance of moisture testing of concrete floors cannot be stressed enough. Moisture is a leading cause of coatings failures on concrete floors. There are many ways moisture can affect floor coatings on concrete. Moisture testing alone is not sufficient enough at detecting all of the potential problems. Inspecting a building prior to performing any tests will provide a much clearer picture of the potential problems moisture in both liquid and vapor form can pose. A moisture survey is a simple tool that will help to identify potential problems not detectable by testing alone. Moisture testing has been described as a snapshot in time. Moisture is a moving target and there is no guarantee that the results achieved one day will be the same the next day. Knowing how moisture can affect a coated floor is essential for testing. Predicting the movement of moisture is difficult but not impossible.

Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coatings (FBE) and Disbondment

Product Number: 51316-7246-SG
ISBN: 7246 2016 CP
Author: Mehrooz Zamanzadeh
Publication Date: 2016

In this paper, failure analysis methodology will be applied to the principal mechanisms by which FBE coatings fail during long term service; with specific application to case studies involving blistering. The case studies apply standard failure analysis techniques to determine the primary causes and modes of failures.

(Concrete) Relevant Testing When Coating Concrete Tanks and Structure

Product Number: 37-COAT_DEC21
Author: John Sierzega
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Inspection has always been a hot topic when it comes to coatings projects. There are some substrates that can be harder to specify due to not knowing without knowing which testing is relevant to specify and properly inspect the substrate and surface after it is coated. Concrete is probably the number one substrate that is confusing. This paper will dive into the testing that is relevant when specifying coatings for concrete tanks and structures. Whether it is how to properly check film build or whether or not an ASTM test is relevant, this paper will clear the waters and make specifying coatings for concrete tanks and structures easier.

Causes of Coating Failures

Product Number: 41209-512-SG

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.
