PIP CTSC1000:2019 Download

The PIP CTSC1000:2019 standard is a comprehensive guide that outlines the requirements and procedures for contractors when applying coatings to concrete surfaces. The standard primarily focuses on three key aspects: surface preparation, coatings application, and coatings selection.

In terms of surface preparation, the standard emphasizes the importance of properly preparing the concrete surface before applying any coatings. It specifies the minimum requirements for removing contaminants, such as dirt, dust, grease, and previous coatings, to ensure optimal adhesion of the new coating. Surface profiling and repair of any cracks or defects are also addressed to ensure a smooth and even substrate.

The standard also provides guidance on the application of coatings to concrete surfaces. It outlines the recommended techniques and procedures for achieving proper coverage, film thickness, and uniformity. It highlights the importance of following manufacturer's instructions regarding mixing, drying, and curing times to ensure the desired performance and longevity of the coating.

Additionally, the standard addresses the selection of coatings for concrete surfaces. It emphasizes the need to select coatings that are compatible with the concrete substrate, as well as the intended use and exposure conditions. Considerations such as chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and UV stability are discussed to assist contractors in choosing the appropriate coating for the specific application.
