This standard covers the preparation of concrete surfaces prior to the application of protective coating or lining systems. This standard should be used by specifiers, applicators, inspectors, and others who are responsible for defining a standard degree of cleanliness, strength, profile, and dryness of prepared concrete surfaces.
This standard was prepared by SSPC/NACE Joint Task Group F on Surface Preparation of Concrete. This joint task group includes members from both NACE Unit Committee T-6G and SSPC Group Committee C.2 on Surface Preparation.
