Recent Surface Preparation Challenges and Solutions

It is commonly known that 75% of coating failures can be attributed to improper surface preparation. This figure shows how challenging it is to get this step right. However, education can improve this number. The best learning comes from studying specific cases which illustrate challenging corrosion protection problems. In this paper, we present several examples of recent projects such as tank linings, tank floating roofs, paper mills, and upstream maintenance projects to show that optimizing surface preparation was a key step in success for the owner and contractor alike. In each of these cases, creative ideas and new technology helped achieve success. We will discuss these projects from the perspective of the coating manufacturer, equipment manufacturer and additional technology used to improve the coatings job.
