Architectural and Waterproofing Coatings: Best Practices for Lasting Performance

Design teams use architectural and waterproofing coatings in construction projects to dictate aesthetics, improve performance, and protect the underlying substrate from air and moisture intrusion, material corrosion, or other concerns in the field. Material selection and preparation is important for the service life of the coating system, but an ever-expanding marketplace of coating types and functions can make these decisions challenging. In this webinar, we will give a basic overview of coatings and their uses in the construction industry and discuss several types of architectural and waterproofing coatings emerging on the market, such as fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) and polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF). We will also explore several case studies with a focus on technical considerations and their underlying chemistry concerns.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
