Performance Warranties based on prescribed material specifications provide a false sense of comfort that the repertoire of pre-selected coating types target the actual corrosion problems in the field.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case…
WHY A WARRANTY?
A warranty is a guarantee that the owner gets the clearly defined end result they are looking for. Is the chemistry you are considering going to do the job?
No Exclusion: HRCSA Performance Guarantee
An Outcome based Guarantee ensures the clearly defined corrosion issues present on the structure such as crevice corrosion, pack-rust, and more are solved with no exclusions. The guarantee clearly defines the failures which can occur if the specifications are not followed. The guarantee also provides a digital checklist to track the project’s progress. Finally, CoA’s confirm the HRCSA meets the generic standard and product purity for the HRCSA technology that ensures you are receiving the long-term performance and corrosion mitigation owners are paying for.
Confirmation of past performance is also shown with at least a five-year field performance history.
Performance Warranty
(2010 – Present)
Joint warranty between contractor and coating Supplier which includes the criteria from the Outcome based Guarantee that include pre-defined areas such as bearings, crevice corroded and rust-jacked connections, wire rope and concrete steel interfaces.
With these steps, Outcome based Performance Warranties can be defined to target the specifically identified corrosion problem.
Case Study Example – Step 1: Clearly define the desired outcome.
- Severe corrosion hotspot mitigation [areas beneath black oxide build] demand targeted attention for a thorough cleaning to be achieved. Salt testing alone can result in missed corrosion hotspots.
- Sharp edges such as those on bolts and fasteners require that the chosen coating system be resistant to undercutting.
- Void areas at connections and interfaces need to be neutralized with active chemistry then melded with a flexible active seal that supports movement.
Commitments to specifications produces the best long-term outcomes.
