1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard covers methods and procedures for applying thin film (less than 500 μm [20 mils] thickness) organic coatings to concrete surfaces by brush, roller, or spray. It is not intended for coatings applied to concrete floors or similar surfaces where thick film (greater than 500 μm [20 mils]) coatings or surfacings are applied by trowel or mechanical equipment. Surface preparation, pretreatments, and selection of coatings are not addressed, except where application requirements are affected, since these are discussed in referenced documents.

1.2 This standard is intended for use by owners, applicators, and others in the coating industry.
