The Role of the Coating Inspector
By Malcolm McNeil, CIP Committee Chair
T
h ere has been
much discussion
in the coatings
industry as to what
the role of the coating
inspector is. The definition will vary in different
countries around the
world. The definition will also vary within
any country depending on whom you ask.
The NACE International Coating
Inspector Program (CIP) defines the role of
the coatings inspector as that of a “quality
control technician” who is primarily
responsible for observing and reporting the
technical aspects of a coating project and its
conformance or deviation from the project
specification. CIP goes on to say that the
general duties of the inspector are:
•Observe
•Test
• Verify conformance to specification (with
documentation)
•Report
We hear the terms “quality control” and
“quality assurance” in explaining the role of
the inspector. Often these terms are used
interchangeably, but do they mean the same
thing? Let’s take a look and see if we can
get some clarification. Webster’s Dictionary
defines “quality” as “character with respect
to fineness or grade of excellence.” One
of the definitions in the dictionary for
“control” is “to test and verify.” We find
the definition of “assurance” as “a positive
declaration intended to give confidence.”
Based upon these definitions we could say
that the coating inspector does some of both
quality control (for example, taking dry film
thickness measurements) and quality assurance (for example, reporting that the work
is in compliance with the specification).
We are taught that it is the responsibility of
the coating inspector to observe the work
and perform required tests to determine
whether or not the contractor’s work is in
compliance with the specification. Some
people will call this “quality control” and
some people will call it “quality assurance.”
Whatever we call it, the coating inspector
must be clear on what his or her responsibilities and authority are for every project. If this
is not spelled out in the specification, the
coating inspector should ask for a clarification
at the pre-job conference. If there is no pre-job
conference, the coating inspector should
get clarification from whomever they are
reporting to on the project. Everyone on the
project should be aware of what the coating
inspector’s responsibilities and authority are.
As pointed out previously, these can vary
depending on the geographical location of the
project. In some countries the coating inspector is expected to direct the workers. Many
Everyone on the project should be
aware of what the coating inspector’s
responsibilities and authority are.
consider this to be project management rather
than quality control or quality assurance.
In summary, the role of the coating
inspector should be defined on each individual project. It is critical that the coating
inspector accept only work for which he or
she has the required training and qualifications to perform. As inspectors we must
understand clearly what our responsibilities
and authority are for each project. Each of
us who are NACE certified signed an attestation when we took our exams.
It is a good idea to review that attestation from time to time to keep it fresh in our
minds.!

Coating Failures—A Coating Supplier’s
Perspective
By Russell Spotten, Corrosion Probe, Inc.
A
s a 30-year veteran of the coatings
industry, I have seen just about
everything that could go wrong
on a project. These problems have been
caused by any number of factors, including contractor error, bad specifications,
improper product selection, Mother Nature,
etc. This article will discuss a few incidents
where the manufacturer was the primary
cause for a problem project.
Rework
One of the persistent problems
confronting coating manufacturers is
managing inventory. Raw material and
finished goods inventories have a tendency
to balloon out of control if not actively
managed. Ideally, most of the finished
goods in the system are salable, and this
inventory moves over time. There is a
certain amount of product, however, that
never gets sold and must be disposed of.
Reasons for this non-moving stock include
obsolete products, stock exceeding its shelf
life, mistinted paint, returned or damaged
goods, and just plain bad production
batches that can never be sold. A key inventory management process is “rework.”
Manufacturers try very hard not to
dispose of paint. It is expensive to dispose
of paint properly and lawfully. From a
financial viewpoint, it is bad enough that
the manufacturer has sunk all the costs into
the original product, and then has to suffer
additional costs to dispose of the paint.
Rework of this unsalable material into new
batches of paint is one way to get rid of
this “waste” as well as generate some sales
revenue in the process.
Rework is not always a bad thing and,
when done properly, can reduce the amount
of hazardous waste. Many large paint
companies take pride in their sustainable
manufacturing processes, which strive to
eliminate or minimize the hazardous waste
stream. Finished batches of paint where
rework has been used are run through all
of the quality control (QC) processes and
must pass all performance tests required for
the original formulas. Therefore, from the
customer’s point of view, there should be no
difference in batches produced with new raw
materials or with rework materials added.
Rework during paint manufacturing,
however, can sometimes lead to very interesting problems.
Black is Not a Color
As a sales manager for a large coating
company, I had handled many customer
calls and was always anxious to be of
help—especially with complaints. On one
occasion, a complaint call came to my
desk that had me completely stumped. The
owner of a barge coating company, and a
longtime valued customer, called to say
Fall 2014
that the black epoxy coating they had just
purchased from us was not, in fact, black.
Worse than that, his crews had just finished
spraying a complete barge exterior hull with
our product, and the barge owner was very
unhappy with the unsightly, ruddy brownish-black finish color.
How could it be possible that our black
epoxy was not black? Surely the painter must
have done something on his end to have
caused such a problem, or perhaps there was
some other environmental issue that caused
the complaint. Or, maybe it was a mislabeled
batch of epoxy of a different color. While
mislabeling is rare, it can happen. I knew from
experience that all of our black products were
manufactured with black pigments, and color
controls were a part of each and every batch
ticket and QC tests. Or so I thought.
When I discussed this complaint
with the plant QC manager, he just stared
at me for a few moments and then said,
“There is no color control requirement
in this product’s formula or batch ticket.”
My initial thought was, so what. Black is
always black, isn’t it? Or at least it should
be close to black. But no, the QC manager
was steadfast in his stance that this formula
for “black” epoxy was not color controlled. I
guess that in his view, this black epoxy could
be almost any color since there were no QC
tests to tell him otherwise.
Rework was the culprit in this case.
Upon further investigation, the only color
for this epoxy coating that did not have color
controls as part of the batch ticket was black.
Therefore, if any rework of this same formula
epoxy coating needed to be disposed of, it was
added to a fresh batch of black epoxy. The
resultant color of these batches with rework
was usually “mostly” black, but depending
on the quantity and color of rework added,
this product would sometimes turn out to be
a ruddy greyish brownish color, which was
nowhere near black.
I learned an expensive lesson from this
complaint, and a complete review of color
controls and QC tests was conducted for all
products.
Not All Polyurethanes Are Created Equal
Those who follow the paint and
coatings industry closely know that merger
and acquisition activity has increased
dramatically over the last 25 years. In the
early 1990s, I witnessed one of the larger
acquisitions in the North American coatings
market, which saw both the combining of

A couple of the more optimistic chemists even
thought that mixing these two chemistries
might just produce a product with even longer
color and gloss retention than the standard
formula. Trials were run at the lab and plant,
an acceptable percentage of this old PUR that
could be added into new batches was calculated, and the disposal work began in earnest.
What happened afterward was a big
lesson in how rework and hasty lab work
Fall 2014
can sometimes yield disastrous results.
Soon after some of these finished products
were sold and applied on industrial projects,
complaints were all of the same nature—
the PUR film showed excessive bubbling,
fisheyes, and cratering when curing, and in
some cases looked like it wanted to crawl
from the surface. In the ensuing investigation, it was discovered that something had
been overlooked by the lab when developing
a formula for the rework.
The investigation revealed that the
trial samples of this rework PUR were
never applied over an epoxy intermediate coat, which is most commonly used in
paint systems. No one ever thought to apply
this as a system over the primers that are
typically sold. Instead, the formulas were
tested for viscosity, dry time, gloss, grind,
etc. by using standard QC test methods in
the lab for a batch of paint. This included
viscosity measurements, drawdowns with a
linnetta bar, color and gloss checks, etc. As
it turns out, the “revised” PUR topcoat was
not very compatible with the epoxy primer,
which led to the rash of complaints.
Another issue with this rework plan
was the quantity added to a particular batch.
Depending upon the color of the batch of
paint being produced, there was a variation
in the amount of old PUR added. Some PUR
colors received more rework, some less.
Therefore, the complaints from the field
were not consistent, making each case that
much more difficult to trace and pinpoint
the cause of the problem.
As a result, thousands of gallons of PUR
were recalled as unsalable. This unusable
product now truly needed to be disposed of
at an extreme cost. Claims for rework were
in the tens of thousands of dollars, and the
reputation of this otherwise solid industrial
paint manufacturer was tarnished.

Inspection and Training: Variables Involved
in Quality Control
This article is an excerpt from C.G. Munger’s Corrosion Prevention by Protective Coatings, now in its third revision
by Associate Author Louis D. Vincent, Ph.D. The third edition is available from the NACE Store at www.nace.org.
T
here are so many variables involved
in coating applications that it may
seem surprising that any good
applications are ever obtained. First of
all, environmental conditions vary from
hot, dry weather to cold, humid weather.
Coupled with these outside variables are
the variables inherent in the material itself,
which can range from a fast-drying vinyl
to a slow-curing polyamide epoxy. There
are also variables associated with those
doing the application work. For instance,
one person may be proficient at applying
one type of coating, while another may be
much better at applying a second type of
material. Inspection to provide in-process
quality control is the only way in which
variables such as these can be properly
controlled.
Another possible variable is the
degree of understanding regarding the
specifications or the design engineer’s
coating requirements. In many cases, the
general character and physical properties of a coating are not fully recognized
by engineers, architects, contractors, and,
more often than not, the actual owners.
Many of these people regard a high-performance coating as no more than an average
type of paint. While it is true that there
may be no difference in the application
equipment used, there is quite a difference in the handling and processing of the
various coating materials.
A coating is a highly complex material.
It is formulated from as many as 20 different materials mixed (or in some cases
reacted) together, yet the end product is
a very thin film of only a few microns or
thousandths of an inch thickness. As such,
it must adhere to the surface; protect the
surface from penetration or corrosion; and
resist abrasion, high humidity, weather,
water, chemicals, precipitated salts, or
actual immersion in corrosive or aggressive
solutions. In all cases, the coating is a thin
film separating two reactive materials.
Understanding the complex nature
of coatings emphasizes the need for good
specifications and inspection procedures.
Inadequate specifications also represent
a variable, as discussed in the previous
chapter on specifications. Many specifications are so inadequate as to be nearly
useless in obtaining the desired coating.
This is often caused by a lack of communication. However, poor specifications are
often caused by engineers using antiquated
specifications that are completely improper
for the job at hand.
Selection of the lowest bid, irrespective of the quality of the bid, also presents
a difficulty as far as quality control is
concerned. Even though the bid may be
a legitimate one, once problems begin to
occur, there is the inevitable trend toward
a reduction in quality to make up for the
losses caused by various problems. Even
small variations in the application process
can make substantial differences in the
end product. Efforts to reduce labor costs
through quick applications inevitably lead
to a lack of proper care during the application, which further deteriorates the quality
that is necessary for the use of high-performance coatings.
Another difficulty from a quality
standpoint is that too often the superintendents, managers, and even owners fail
to understand the importance of corrosion
control and the role that coatings play in
preventing corrosion. Because painting is
such a commonplace activity, supervisors
and managers often do not realize that it
is the greatest single factor in the cost of
maintaining corrosion-free industrial
structures. Thus, little attention may be
paid to proper inspection of the final job.
While this situation is not true in every
case, it is common enough to be considered a serious difficulty with regard to
coating quality. !
Coating quality depends on level of inspection.
The inspector should understand application
characteristics of the coating.
