For decades, many intumescent coating specifications have ruled out the use of materials that measure less than 70 in Shore D durometer testing. Hardness is useful to know, but it has no influence at all on an intumescent coating’s performance in the event of a fire.

Jeremy Sukola, is back to cover the basics of specification writing with Jack and Paul. They discuss the three primary parts of a specification and the benefits of including manufacturers in the writing process.

Here's how to find the right industrial flooring system to meet the unique needs of your cannabis growing facility.

For decades, standard practice for insulating storage tanks and piping has been to wrap them in mineral wool, foam, or other low-conductivity materials before sealing them in cladding. This method works well-for a few years, anyway. But guest Michael Stelmach explains how liquid-applied insulative coatings are a longer-lived solution that achieve similar thermal efficiency, similar personnel protection, similar energy savings, and similar process stability while eliminating CUI and other risk factors.

There’s a surprising level of variability in industrial coating systems for steel water tank exteriors. Here's how to find the right coating system for your needs.
