Replica Tape- Relating 3 Surface Profile Parameters to Pull-Off Adhesion

Replica Tape- Relating 3 Surface Profile Parameters to Pull-Off Adhesion
Available for download

Steel surfaces are frequently cleaned by abrasive impact prior to the application of protective coatings. The resultant surface profile must be accurately assessed to ensure compliance with job or contract specifications. But is profile height alone (the most commonly measured parameter) a good indicator of long-term coating performance?

Steel surfaces are frequently cleaned by abrasive impact prior to the application of protective coatings. The resultant surface profile must be accurately assessed to ensure compliance with job or contract specifications. But is profile height alone (the most commonly measured parameter) a good indicator of long-term coating performance? This paper reports on recent testing that compared numerous profiles with pull-off adhesion. A simple, low-cost field device was used to obtain 3 profile parameters from 1 replica tape measurement: profile height, peak density, and developed surface area. Test surfaces were re-measured with complex, expensive 3D microscopes and results were compared to replica tape results.

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.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC), often referred to as inspection, is critical to the success of a protective coating or lining project. Several parties can and do get involved in inspection including the owner, specifier, third party inspector, general contractor, painting contractor, equipment supplier, and coating manufacturer.

When protective coatings are to be applied to structures, it is important that the surface is clean and dry if premature failure of the coating is to be prevented and the full coating service life achieved. In many situations for both new build and repair of structures, blast cleaning of the surface is required to remove contamination and to create an anchor pattern to enhance the adhesion of the coating system to the substrate.
