In contrast to the Hipster projected or “posed” image based solely upon appearance in lieu of substance, a company’s brand-image projected by paints & coatings requires performance derived from consistently sound chemistry and manufacturing. The protective paints and coatings on the façade of commercial buildings are a significant aspect of the image associated with the owner organization.
In contrast to the Hipster projected or “posed” image based solely upon appearance in lieu of substance, a company’s brand-image projected by paints & coatings requires performance derived from consistently sound chemistry and manufacturing. The protective paints and coatings on the façade of commercial buildings are a significant aspect of the image associated with the owner organization. A coating with chemical functionality and consistent performance is required in order for the façade to remain an asset and not become a liability. In other words, the “substance” of the coating material itself is critical. The posed image of a hipster, that lacks actual substance, won’t cut it. Let’s assume that due to good foresight the coating chosen to convey your image was selected based on a proven track record and tested performance. But what assurance do you have that the coating materials actually supplied to the project are the products that were tested when the original selection was made? Although a relatively common practice in the industrial coatings arena, the concept of baseline characterization of coatings is yet to be widely implemented in the commercial building field. Some organizations already exist that address the need for standard performance evaluations of industrial and commercial coatings. A brief synopsis of applicable performance evaluations developed by organizations in the industrial and commercial sectors is provided as background. The concept of baseline characterization of coatings coinciding with performance evaluations will be described with specific examples of applicability in the commercial coatings field.
Gel coat has traditionally been used in environments where color, gloss and relative long-term performance are important. This premise is still true today; however, a much more advanced technology has been developed that provides improved characteristics of color and gloss stability, higher mechanical properties and zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s).

The moisture assessment was determined by using a combination of 4 different methods rather than using one single method. On previous projects, the consultants had experience with the inaccuracy of some of the methods.
Tralopyril was developed as a marine antifouling agent for use in antifouling coatings. The compound has been registered with the US EPA since 2007. Since then, a range of marine coatings have been developed utilizing tralopyril for control of barnacles and other invertebrate animal fouling organisms, frequently, but not exclusively, in combination with a soft fouling control agent.
