Specifying Coatings for Airports & Transportation Facilities

Airports and transportation facilities need high-performing coating solutions for exterior and interior applications for reasons of aesthetics, durability, and suitability for various climate conditions. Recent advancements in coating technologies can help you check off all these boxes, thus meeting the expectations of local and state governments, airport authorities, and public-private partnerships.
This session will explore the characteristics of different coating resin types and review the specification divisions where various coatings can be specified and LEED sections impacted. Join us for insights that will help you manage the outcome and performance of coatings used for new and renovation projects.
