Fitz's Atlas™ of coating defects

Fitz's Atlas is a 200 page, pocket-sized ring binder including more than 190 illustrations to provide the most comprehensive visual guide to coating and surface defects and is also available on CD Rom.

• The first two sections identify Welding Faults and Surface Conditions, which may be encountered and need to be addressed prior to the application of any coating system.
• Two further sections deal with surface preparation giving notes and visual guides to the standard preparation grades achieved through both Dry Abrasive Blasting and Water Jetting.
• 104 photographs in the Coating & Application Defects section enable the user to identify a range of coating failures. Advice is given on probable causes, prevention and repair.
• The last section deals with various types of Marine Fouling.
• and finally, an Appendix gives breakdown scales, to help determine the degree of coating failure, and quick reference guides to specific paint characteristics and paint compatibility charts.

Each section has been compiled by coating specialists who understand paint coatings and their application and as such will provide a useful pictorial reference to all who use and encounter paint coatings, their defects and failures.
