2.0 General

The effectiveness of a coating as a corrosion preventative is dependent on whether or not it forms a tightly adherent, impervious, chemically resistant barrier over the surface of the substrate to be protected. All three of these factors are directly affected by the quality of work performed by the coating applicator. As a consequence, the coating applicator shall strictly follow all the requirements set forth in this specification, the coating manufacturer's recommendations and good industrial practice. Workmanship shall be first class in every respect.
