Hubble Bubble Rising: A New Beginning - The Better Way

This group of authors, thinking outside the proverbial box, and with a mind to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, presented a paper at SSPC 2010 entitled “Hubble, Bubble, Tests and Trouble: The Dark Side of Misreading the Relevance of Coating Testing”. A challenge to the status quo of coatings performance testing, the paper boldly questioned much of the conventional wisdom surrounding coating testing and how that testing is interpreted.

This group of authors, thinking outside the proverbial box, and with a mind to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, presented a paper at SSPC 2010 entitled “Hubble, Bubble, Tests and Trouble: The Dark Side of Misreading the Relevance of Coating Testing”. A challenge to the status quo of coatings performance testing, the paper boldly questioned much of the conventional wisdom surrounding coating testing and how that testing is interpreted. A closer look was also undertaken into barriers to choosing best value coating systems established by a specification process which otherwise can end up being counter productive. Importantly, the paper went on to present a new paradigm regarding the approach to future coating testing and the positive implications for end users. In a fresh light, the present paper delves further into the examination of testing-related questions with answers that, while seemingly negative at times, provide a pathway to a radical improvement in coating system selection for specific end use applications. The original paper ended with the hope for “a better way” for the coatings industry. In the current paper the authors examine the role of specifications, the meaning of performance test results, and the real world needs of end users, and conclude with a solution that will rock the coatings industry. It is the new beginning; welcome to the new world.
