Residential contractors who focus on becoming a service business can bring in ongoing revenue from existing customers through regularly scheduled maintenance coats. Every contractor should have a long-range system for tracking maintenance due dates, notifying customers and even set-up maintenance contracts to gain pre-approval of future work.

This paper discusses the history of coatings maintenance on the Golden Gate Bridge and the modern maintenance process including bi-annual inspection, prioritizing, scheduling and execution. Several current projects including water jetting and suspender painting are also discussed.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! These days, imitating nature has produced some amazing discoveries. New coatings are being introduced with properties that come straight from Mother Nature and ad d a whole new dimension to materials.
US Marines are known and respected the world over for their leadership ability. How do they do it? What do they know that enables them to be such successful leaders on active duty and then in the civilian sector? This paper, based on the book of the same name, reveals the nine essential behaviors that make up the foundation of leadership.
A series of novel isocyanates based on low-free monomer TDI prepolymer technology has been developed for spray polyurea applications. Coatings formulated using these new raw materials have shown significantly higher tensile strength, modulus, abrasion resistance and tear strength compared to conventional MDI-based isocyanates.
Painting contractors are frequently forced to contractually obligate their Commercial General Liability Coverage (CGLC), onto Building Owners (BO), and/or General Contactors (GC). A typical scenario occurs when a painting contractor bids a project and enter into contractual obligations without fully realizing what their contractual obligations are within the job they just bid and won.
Duplex systems, also known as painting over hot dip galvanized steel, are extremely effective corrosion protection systems. However, careful surface preparation techniques need to be used to alleviate potential coating failures. The age and characteristics of the galvanized coating should be used to determine what type of surface preparation is needed.
Until a few years ago, water tanks were always drained before exterior surfaces were painted because surface moisture, if found below the water line, would lead to a coating failure. But a coating technology borrowed from the bridge and highway industry and put to a new use is bringing changes to the water tank marketplace. This presentation introduces the original project, includes the coating evaluation after 6 years, and concludes with additional tank examples.
As an owner of a painting and decorating company, wouldn’t you love to be able to sit down and pick the brain of your fiercest competitor? Of course you can’t, but the idea of finding out why they’re successful, or how they solved a particular problem, is an intriguing thought. If you can’t talk to your competitor, why not talk to a painting company that would be your competitor if you were in another state? That is what Peer Groups are all about.
Waterborne coatings are of growing importance in appliance, automotive refinish, concrete, traffic marking and high performance coatings due to increasing environmental regulation to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) and ease of handling. The resins commonly used for conventional solvent borne coating are usually modified by increasing their hydrophilic nature prior to being incorporation into a waterborne coating formulation.
Periodic and final tank monitoring during a two-year warranty offered to The City of Anoka, conducted jointly by Liquid Engineering Corporation, Sherwin Williams and SEH, identified no comparable differences between a single application of Corothane I Galvapac NSF, B65 Series, and two traditional systems used to repair and/or protect water tank interior surfaces.
Painting Contractors generate more business and provide exceptional customer service by training themselves and the people who work for them to employ some easy to implement performance standards that get outstanding results.
