Vincent presents a practical guide on the basics of corrosion prevention through the use of protective coatings. Written as much as possible in everyday English rather than complex chemical terms, the text is designed for individuals responsible for the selection and use of protective coatings in industrial and commercial painting projects, including engineers, technicians, salespeople, contractors, inspectors, and painters. Coverage includes coating failures; corrosion basics; organic, inorganic, and thermal spray coatings; galvanizing; tank and containment linings; coating concrete; condition surveys; writing coating specifications; surface preparation; and inspection instruments and practices.
