Concrete Coating Finish Texture (CFT): SSPC Standard for Texture Categories

Concrete Coating Finish Texture (CFT): SSPC Standard for Texture Categor
Available for download

High performance concrete coatings are frequently applied with a grade of texture to improve traction and safety. The finished texture is dependent upon the size and type of aggregate, application method and density, and the amount of topcoat applied over the texture. Defining the degree of texture within a specification and translating the description to installation has typically been left to individual interpretations.

High performance concrete coatings are frequently applied with a grade of texture to improve traction and safety. The finished texture is dependent upon the size and type of aggregate, application method and density, and the amount of topcoat applied over the texture. Defining the degree of texture within a specification and translating the description to installation has typically been left to individual interpretations. Product samples and project mock-ups help to clarify expectations. Unfortunately, samples are generally not produced by the installing contractor and mock-ups can be expensive and time consuming. SSPC has developed a texture standard to classify degrees of texture to facilitate the communication process during project specification, installation, as well as maintaining the required texture throughout the life of the floor. This presentation summarizes the texture classification and tactile coupons defined by the standard.

Considering Over Coating? Details to Examine

There are many factors which need to be considered when making the decision to over coat an existing coating system. With the magnitude of data that need to be evaluated in relation to the existing coating system and potential scenarios that are possible it is important to take multiple details into account. Details including inspection criteria of the existing coating system and substrate, owner’s goals and objectives, asset location and environmental conditions must all be taken into consideration.

Coating Performance Over Partially Blasted Surfaces

Common methods of maintenance painting either involve complete removal of existing paint (SSPC-SP 10) or localized preparation using power tools (SSPC-SP 3). Sometimes an intermediate level of surface preparation may be performed by allowing intact tightly adherent coating to remain. Abrasive blasting may be used to prepare either localized areas, or to partially prepare the entire surface, allowing well-adhered aged coating to remain.

Benefits of Using Both SSPC & PDCA Standards in Project Specifications

This paper examines the authors successful experiences on some simple and very complex projects where both the coatings and environmental requirements were limited to a few pages. Being made up almost entirely of SSPC/NACE and PDCA standards that described “performance criteria” as opposed to being a prescriptive or proprietary type of specification defining what was to be used, when it was to be used and how it was to be done.
