SSPC Technology Updates are used to inform professionals about changes in practices and processes involved in protective coatings projects.
SSPC-TU 1, Surface Tolerant Coatings for Steel
 
This technology update defines surface-tolerant coatings and discusses their uses and limitations. It is widely recognized that the application of protective coatings over improperly prepared surfaces is poor painting practice. It is also recognized that proper surface preparation is not always possible or feasible and that the use of surface-tolerant coatings may offer an economical compromise. The types of coatings for specific end uses are dependent on the condition of the substrate. This technology update is for general information purposes only.
Price: $25.00
 
SSPC-TU 2/NACE 6G197, Design, Installation, and Maintenance of Coating Systems for Concrete Used in
 
This joint technology update covers the design, installation, and maintenance of polymeric coating systems that are applied and directly bonded to concrete in secondary containment applications. This report is intended to inform manufacturers, specifiers, applicators, and facility owners who are required to contain chemicals and/or protect concrete in these applications.
Price: $25.00
 
SSPC-TU 3, Overcoating
 
This technology update discusses the risks associated with the maintenance painting practice known as overcoating. Factors affecting overcoating application, service and costs are discussed.

This document is intended to serve as a resource for facility owners and others charged with developing and implementing maintenance painting programs.

Overcoating is one of several maintenance painting options. This document is not intended to provide a detailed description or comparison of the relative merit and cost considerations of overcoating versus other maintenance painting options. For a more complete and detailed discussion of maintenance painting practices, the reader should refer to SSPC-PA Guide 5, Guide to Maintenance Painting Programs.
Price: $25.00
 
SSPC-TU 4, Field Methods for Retrieval and Analysis of Soluble Salts on Substrates
 
This technology update describes commonly used field methods for retrieving salts from a surface, and the analytical methods used to determine the concentration of the soluble salts on the substrate.
Price: $25.00
 
SSPC-TU 5, Accelerated Testing of Industrial Protective Coatings
 
This technology update describes laboratory experiments, applications, and typical uses for accelerated testing of industrial protective coatings.

This document describes only laboratory experiments. In an industrial setting protective coatings are used for a variety of reasons. Service environments for protective coatings may range from a mild atmospheric exposure condition to a severe chemical or immersion setting.
Price: $25.00
 
SSPC-TU 6, Chemical Stripping of Organic Coatings from Steel Structures
 
This technology update defines chemical strippers and discusses their use for removing existing conventional organic coatings from steel structures. Chemical stripping is recognized as one of a number of technologies available for the removal of existing coatings prior to repainting.
Price: $25.00
 
SSPC-TU 7, Conducting Ambient Air, Soil, and Water Sampling During Surface Preparation and Paint Di
 
This technology update describes a variety of air, water and soil/sediment monitoring methods used for measuring emissions of lead, particulate matter, or dust emissions during surface preparation operations, construction or painting activities. The monitoring guidelines presented in this document provide methods for assessing the efficacy of work site engineering controls (e.g., containment systems) implemented to protect the public and the surrounding environment and to assess the impact of lead or other toxic metals, dust, and PM-10 emissions from project operations, equipment and other potential emission generating operations (e.g., waste handling operations).
Price: $25.00
 
SSPC-TU 8, The Use of Isocyanate-Containing Paints as Industrial Maintenance Coatings
 
This technology update defines and distinguishes various isocyanate structures, and describes their role in the formulation of coatings and coatings raw materials. It also illustrates potential health hazards associated with the handling and application of isocyanate-containing paints, and outlines various safeguards used to minimize exposure.
Price: $25.00
 
SSPC-TU 9, Estimating Costs for Protective Coatings Projects
 
This technology update outlines and discusses the concepts, considerations, and approaches used to estimate costs associated with industrial protective coating projects. It explains initial vs lifetime and indirect vs direct costs; describes various methods for estimating these costs; presents sample estimates based on methods described; and provides examples and sources of additional data and cost models.

SSPC-TU 10, Procedures for Applying Thick Film Coatings and Surfacings Over Concrete Floors
 

This technology update discusses techniques and procedures to enhance performance of concrete floors by use of resinous systems greater than 20 mils. Flooring systems covered by this document include: Thick film systems (>500åm), self-leveling systems, slurry systems, broadcast systems, mortar systems, fabric-reinforced systems, spray-applied systems, and non-waterproofing and underlayment membranes. Thin-film coatings (<500 åm) and sealers, terrazzo flooring, membrane systems designed for waterproofing, and primary and secondary containment systems are beyond the scope of this technology update. The technology update outlines techniques and procedures, with additional specific details provided in the appendices. This technology update is intended for use by owners, applicators, and others in the coatings and surfacings industry. It addresses the unique application properties of coating and surfacing concrete floors, and should not be used for other purposes. This technology update was developed by the SSPC Unit Committee C.7.1 on Concrete Coatings and Surfacings with the assistance of members of the Polymer Coatings and Surfacing Institute (PCSI), who joined the SSPC committee and participated in the consensus review process.
