Guide to Water-Based Maintenance Coatings

ith the growing emphasis on environ- mentally friendly materials, more and more facilities professionals are turning to wa-

ter-based coatings to protect their buildings. Addi- primers and tionally, many regulatory agencies are placing severe

limits on.the amounts of volatile organic substances, performante such as solvents, that can be emitted from coatings.

Theseconsiderations,along withothers suchasodor hraderisticr. and healthandsafetyliability,arecombiningtopush

the end user toward the exclusive selection of water- based products. Fortunately, the quality and perfor- mance of these materials have improved dramati- cally to the point that they now are as good as or better than the solvent-based coatings.

To assist in the selection, AIPE has surveyed a number of manufacturers on the features and ben- efits of their products. By necessity a great variety of coatings and coating types are included, covering a wide range of performance levels and applications.

When comparing products, remember that a par- ticular material is formulated to offer the best perfor- mancdcost balance for a specific application. There- fore, ask the manufacturer or supplier for details regarding the suitability of the product for the indi- vidual exposure conditions, as well as costs.

Water-based coatings are gaining popularity for a variety of reasons, including health and safety liability.

There are several important considerations that must be part of the coating selection process. The first, of course, is whether the application is for an exterior or interior surface. Exterior coatings are formulated for more severe conditions and contain weathering-type fillers and pigments, in addition to specially selected polymers and additives. Interior coatings are usually less costly because of the some- what reduced performance requirements imposed on these products. The chemical resistance criteria are also key considerations in the coating selection process. It is important to determine that the coating is suited to the chemical agents and deteriorating materials to which it will besubjected. General terms such as “chemically resistant” or “resists extreme conditions” are useful and give some indication of performance. It is best, however, to determine the coating’s performance when exposed to the specific conditions or chemicals of the application. Most suppliers have this information or can test their products in the particular environment of interest.

Odor and safety considerations are becoming a greater factor in choosing a coating. A material safety data sheet should be obtained on the product and reviewed prior to purchase. This document is

required to be provided to any person who may be exposed tothecoating,and it reviews all the health and safety hazards which might be encountered in the use of the material.

Volatile organic com- pound (VOC) and volatile organic Substance (VOS) regulations are continually being adopted by more regulatory bodies across the United States. The lo- cal regulations should be reviewed, and only prod- ucts meeting these criteria should be selected. Fortu- nately, most water-based coatings meet even the most stringent require- ments.
