Thermal spray coatings (TSC) have been successfully used in all major sectors of the marine and industrial corrosion control coatings  market. Approximately twenty years ago they were introduced to the bridge coatings sector of the market on a trial basis. The overall positive results of these TSC tests in the bridge market have generated a wealth of information and much is known today about their origin and benefits. TSC have proven to be the longest lasting coating systems available. They are the most cost effective from  a life cycle cost  (LCC) analysis and their initial application cost is continuing to drop (1). This paper will discuss the present status of TSC as an approved alternative coating system  and what needs to be done in order to effectively promote their use as a viable mainstream coating system to benefit the future bridge coatings market.
