SSPC/JPCL Webinars to Address Prepping Concrete for Coatings

Two SSPC/JPCL Education Series Webinars in August—one on acid etching and one on moisture remediation—will deal with preparing concrete for coatings.
“Etching Concrete without Environmental Drawbacks” will be presented at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 18, by Glynn Loftin of Loftin Enterprises. The webinar will include information about current methods of surface preparation of concrete, the current standard for chemical etching of concrete, new materials that meet the standard, and a project description showing the environmental advantages of the new material.
“Moisture Evaluation and Remediation of Concrete” will be presented at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26, by Fred Goodwin of BASF. Goodwin will describe methods used to measure moisture in concrete, standards that apply, and how remediation is achieved.
Education Series Webinars provide continuing education for SSPC recertifications as well as technology updates on important topics.
Those who wish to participate in the webinars above or ones scheduled later in the year can register free at www.paintsquare.com/education.
