Often when a polymeric flooring system fails, the cause of the problem is unknown. Forensic testing is used to determine the cause of failure while eliminating other potential causes. A basic understanding of the approach to a forensic investigation and the types of testing used will help aid in correcting the problem so future failures and project costs are reduced.
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.

Blistering is a common failure in marine coatings that can be caused by both physical, such as osmotic pressure and temperature gradients, and electrochemical forces like cathodic or anodic polarization. This paper/presentation will start by discussing the various mechanisms that lead to coating blistering, how blisters form, and how to prevent them.
