Often when polymeric flooring systems fail the cause of the failure is not known. Forensic testing can be used to eliminate some causes and indicate evidence of other possible causes of failure. A basic knowledge of what test can be performed and what information can be gained through the process will benefit anyone investigating coating failures.
This presentation will discuss the proper protocol for performing an initial on-site inspection, provide the laboratory with essential and accurate background information, and how to extract samples, and then package and deliver them to the testing facility. All participants will learn the difference between chemical and physical testing and what information or data can be collected from these tests and how it is used. Knowledge gained from the presentation will enhance the attendees basic skill set in failure analysis.
