Coatings integrity and service life can suffer when you prepare concrete surfaces improperly ahead of coatings applications. In fact, inadequate surface preparation accounts for up to 80% of all coating adhesion failures. Selecting and performing proper surface preparation methods will help you better ensure adhesion of the coating to the substrate and prolong the service life of the coating system.
During this webinar, you’ll:
• Learn the different surface preparation methods for concrete
• Review how the substrate and the environment will influence your choice of method
• Discover how to estimate the expected life of a coating system following repairs
