Seeking Standardization in Coating Specifications for Wastewater Projects
By: Andy Odorzynski, Induron Sales Representative
This article was originally published in the September 2017 issue of the Journal of Protective Coatings & Linings.
As a technical sales representative for a paint manufacturing firm, I have the opportunity to work with specifying engineers and facility owners of projects spanning many different industries. Few industries present the same level of challenges in coatings specification development that one encounters in the wastewater marketplace. Outside of a few firms with industry expertise, specifying engineers tend to rely entirely on paint manufacturers to select coatings for their wastewater specifications. This has created an environment where specifications vary wildly. This article will discuss how we as coatings professionals can better support the specifying engineers with whom we work to bring about some consistency and guidance to the development of wastewater specifications.

We’ve Got Your Back
By: Linc York, Retired Induron Sales Representative
When my wife and I visited the Black Canyon of the Gunnison many years ago, I realized that I had a fear of heights.

I did not feel secure or trust the guard rail. Continue reading We’ve Got Your Back
