Webinar Overview
Improperly prepared concrete surfaces can result in reduced coatings integrity and service life. Up to 80% of all coating failures can be directly attributed to inadequate surface preparation, which affects coating adhesion. To ensure adhesion of the coating to the substrate and prolong the service life of the coating system, selection and implementation of proper surface preparation is required.
