PROJECT STRATEGY<br />

How a Coating Application Can Fail:<br />

Ways to Prepare for a Positive Result<br />

Wednesday, 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | Room 610<br />

Kevin Ormsby<br />

Technical Director | Coval Technologies<br />

Learn ways to avert a coating application failure, with advice<br />

on correctly preparing and testing a flooring or infrastructure<br />

surface. Find the tools to determine whether a substrate<br />

is coating-ready, and the factors that can and cannot be<br />

adjusted for a successful application.<br />

Included in the presentation are the following topics:<br />

1. Adhesion failure, and various factors that prohibit the<br />

adhesion<br />

2. Delamination, when there is a loss of adhesion to the<br />

pre-painted or primed surface<br />

3. Stress cracking, attributed to moisture or lack of<br />

flexibility of the coating<br />

4. Solvent lifting or Wrinkling, occurring when topcoats<br />

with a strong solvent blend react with previous and<br />

weaker solvent-based coatings when incompatible<br />

paint systems are used, or when overcoating takes place<br />

before the previous coat has adequately hardened<br />

5. Plus, other visual cues of problems called blistering,<br />

blushing, chalking, cratering, fisheyes, and pin holing will<br />

be touched upon.<br />

Target Audience: Architects, General Contractors,<br />

Commercial <strong>Build</strong>ers, Subcontractors - Flooring<br />

professionals, Remodelers, Facilities Managers, <strong>Build</strong>ing<br />
