Are there any standards available for preventive coatings for concrete for industrial and marine applications? Any information related to standards applicable for concrete coatings would be appreciated.
Hello Mr. Krisha, I've been working in similar topics during two years and i started with procedures describe in papers. About a standard, i can share you the following: EN 1504-2:2004, it only establish the classification of surface treatment protective for concrete.
Concrete coating standards are sets of guidelines and specifications that define the minimum requirements for the materials, performance, and application of coatings on concrete surfaces. These standards are typically developed and published by organizations such as ASTM International (ASTM), the American Concrete Institute (ACI), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Some common concrete coating standards include:
ASTM D4541: Standard Test Method for Pull-Off Strength of Coatings Using Portable Adhesion Testers
ASTM D6677: Standard Practice for Evaluating and Qualifying the Performance of Concrete Protective Coatings
ASTM D7091: Standard Practice for Nondestructive Measurement of Dry Film Thickness of Applied Organic Coatings Using an Ultrasonic Coating Thickness Gauge
ACI 562-19: Code Requirements for Evaluation, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings
ISO 12944-6: Paints and varnishes – Corrosion protection of steel structures by protective paint systems – Part 6: Execution and supervision of paint work
These standards provide guidance on the materials, testing methods, and performance requirements for concrete coatings, and are commonly used by manufacturers, contractors, and regulators to ensure the quality and durability of concrete coatings.
