Today’s Situation

Attention to detail is key!

 “It has been estimated that the cost of corrosion in the United States alone will exceed $300 Billion this year. If we could extend the service life of our coating systems, billions of dollars could be saved.”

“75% to 80% of all premature coating failures are caused by improper or inadequate surface preparation.” 

“Coating quality and service life depends on the level of inspection.”
