Inadequate surface preparation is probably the most frequently reported cause of premature coating failure on steel surfaces. NACE committee T-6H-15 is currently conducting a study into the effects of surface cleanliness on service life of protective coatings. A study was initiated by the Civil Engineering Laboratory (CEL) to determine the effects of surface profile on coating performance and the relative importance of profile as compared to cleanliness in affecting coating performance. This report covers the first completed portion of this study, the adhesion of the coating systems to the steel substrates prior to field exposure.
