In the world of high-performance coatings, successful service-life can be minutes, months, years or decades. For example, the material used in the Apollo program for a heat shield was an epoxy phenolic. It was designed to consume heat energy from fire and release the energy in the form of gas as it burned to form an [...]
A common misconception is that concrete is ready to receive coatings after the concrete has cured for 28 days.

Each year millions of dollars are lost due to floor finish failures. Failure in low permeability flooring finishes often occurs [...]
Mold and mildew have become a huge concern in construction and maintenance of buildings of all types, including correctional facilities. A mold problem can add costs and delays to a construction project and plague facility and maintenance personnel with an unending maintenance cycle.
