Abstract
The term surface preparation refers to methods used to treat the surface of substrate prior to the application of coating (painting, coating and lining, etc.). Surface preparation is the essential first-stage treatment of a steel substrate before the application of any coating, lining, and painting. It is generally accepted as being the most important factor affecting the success of a corrosion protection system. The performance of a coating is significantly influenced by its ability to adhere properly to the substrate material. This chapter covers the requirements for surface preparation of substrates prior to protecting against corrosion, both for initial construction and maintenance. The discussion includes the minimum requirements for surface preparation of ferrous metals, nonferrous metals, and nonmetallic surfaces (e.g., masonry materials and wood).
