Abstract
In recent years, the protective coatings industry has been obsessed with soluble salt contamination, chlorides in particular, not because of any real understanding, but because salts have been popularized. In the old days we did surface preparation. Today we often hear about surface “decontamination.” Unfortunately most of what the coatings industry thinks it knows about salts and osmotic blistering turns out to be very much wrong.
