A five-year coatings research project was initiated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation in 1986 to evaluate the performance of an organic zinc rich coating system. The coating system consisted of a moisture cured urethane zinc rich primer, an epoxy intermediate, and an aliphatic polyester urethane finish coat. The system was applied to the Windgap Bridge located in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania (near the City of Pittsburgh) in 1986 and 1987.

Pull-off adhesion testing is widely used to assess the protective coating process. It is also used to determine if a coating is fit for service in new construction and for repairs to existing structures. The result is often critical to the acceptance or rejection of a coating process, as the adhesion value quoted by the paint manufacturer can be adversely affected by aspects of the coating process. Low adhesion values are indicative of premature failure of the coating and are often due to inadequate surface preparation of the substrate.
