SPECS4paint.com’s provides help to create a specification for the application process and performance properties of a coating system.

It is focused on the needs of Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM’s), but much of the content is of a general nature and applicable to architectural or heavy-duty maintenance requirements as well.

OEM’S face a unique challenge in linking their coating process with performance standards. Often the need to have high throughput requires application of a coating system that lacks the longterm performance expected by the end-user. Conversely, performance requirements may be unnecessarily high and render the product overpriced.

SPECS4paint.com goal is to provide information to help OEM plant managers, design engineers, safety directors, purchasing managers, and others, to create a PAINT SPECIFICATION that links the PROCESS, PERFORMANCE, and REGULATORY requirements.
