WHY COATINGS FAIL

Poor surface preparations/ insufficient bond profile

Do not cut corners
Coating will fail no

matter how great it is

73%

Excessive moisture/ contaminant transmission

Test the moisture

vapor emission rate

Use moisture

mitigation system if necessary

18%

Poor installation/ contractor error

Not enough material

thickness

Improperly mixed

material

Materials too hot or cold
Find properly trained

contractor

5%

Job site conditions

Excessive air

movement

Inadequate lighting
Inadequate

surface/air temperature

Moisture/pedestrian

trade interference

4%

SURFACE PREPARATION

Surface prep is key!

73% of all coating failures are a result
f insufficient surface preparation.
Remove all existing coatings

(depending on the product type)

Coatings can be removed with

stripping chemicals, shot blasting, sanding, diamond grinding, and acid etching

Without proper preparation, even

great materials will not hold up

A proper preparation will result in a

strong mechanical bond to the substrate

DO IT YOURSELF

Advantages:

Reduce your cost up to 50%
Work within your own timelines
As many sq. ft. at a time as desired

Use a product that is:

VOC free
Dummy-proof
Self-leveling
Easy to work with
Pre-measured

SLIDE 5

IF USING AN INSTALLER

Make sure they check the following boxes:

Experience with the required

flooring system

Proper surface prep equipment
Excellent safety record
Ability to understand challenges

working in occupied correctional facilities

Proper liability insurance
Do they manufacture the product?
Who offers the warranty?

Tile and Grout
Terrazzo
Metal
Wood
Epoxy
Fiberglass/Plastic
Foam/Stucco
Vinyl Sheeting
Dry Wall
Brick

PROBLEM AREAS IN CORRECTIONS

Food Service Area

Kettle areas
Dish tray room
Wash down area
Coolers and freezers
Loading docks

Showers

Chipping grout
Broken tiles
Hard-to-clean surfaces creating

mold and mildew

Uncoated block or concrete
Slip hazards

SLIDE 8

COATING ADDITIVES

Non-Slip Additives

Non-slip additives can be added to

coatings to increase the co-efficient

f friction (slip resistant)
Recommended for wet areas

Accelerators

Accelerators can be added to help

reduce the drying time

Recommended for environments that

can’t afford much facility downtime

Adhesion Bonds

Adhesion Bonds can be added to

provide excellent adhesion properties to hard-to-adhere surfaces

Recommended for ceramic,

porcelain, quarry and other tile and grout surfaces.

SLIDE 9

MAINTAINING COATINGS

Proper cleaning increases and

maintains the life of coatings

Cleaning coatings ensures proper

sanitary conditions

Some VCT coatings can eliminate

the need to ever wax again and provide easy maintenance with less downtime

Keeps employee safety a priority

where slip and fall conditions are a concern

Vertical surfaces can be cleaned by

power washing or steam cleaning
