Many challenges face today’s coatings specifiers in selecting high performance coatings and linings. New formulations are being developed to meet changing performance needs and also future VOC requirements. Evaluation of these “new” coatings and linings can be difficult. It is the purpose of this paper to look at past, current and future coating evaluation methods in order to develop a testing protocol that can be used to assist in the selection of high performance coatings and linings for wastewater environments.
