Concrete Floor Condition Assessment

Abstract

The Users Guide presents a systematic approach to assessing the condition of concrete floors prior to specifying one of three coating systems: (A) Thin film coating system (>/= 13 mils: 1 mil = 0.001"), (B) Thick film coating system (>/= 250 mils), and (C) Overcoating sound coating systems. By assessing the condition of floor surfaces, coating failures resulting from the following practices should decrease: (1) Overcoating unsound coating systems, (2) Coating concrete with low surface strength, (3) Coating concrete with high levels of surface contamination (oils, fuels, skydrol, fats, waxes, etc.), and (4) Coating concrete with a high rate of moisture vapor emission.
