A number of factors, ranging from coating selection to outside influences, can contribute to a coating failure.
The next free webinar from JPCL and SSPC presents a scientific approach to the analysis and prevention of common paint and coating failures on industrial structures.
Join Sarah Olthof as she presents “An Investigation of How Good Specifications Prevent Coating Failures” from 11 a.m. to noon ET (8 a.m. to 9 a.m. PT), Wednesday, Oct. 19.
Olthof will take a close look at the structure, composition and properties of polymers used in the formulation of modern paints and coatings, before sharing a systematic consideration of failures induced by weather, corrosion, mechanical and chemical influence, light, heat, and other agents.
