c) The total cost of ownership over the life of a structure, including maintenance and replacement.

d) The cost of disposal at the end of a structure's life.

While inspecting a coating that has been subjected to extreme weather conditions, the inspector observes a surface that has become chalky and faded. What does this indicate about the coating's long-term performance?

a) The coating has an adequate thickness.

b) The coating is resistant to moisture.

c) The coating has excellent adhesion properties.

d) The coating is failing due to UV exposure.

In the context of protective coatings, the term "cathodic protection" refers to:

a) The process of applying a coating to enhance visual appeal.

b) The use of coatings to create an impermeable barrier.

c) The application of a sacrificial anode to prevent corrosion.

Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP)

AMPP is a new organization formed by the merger of NACE International and the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC). AMPP aims to bring together the expertise of both organizations to provide a more comprehensive approach to asset protection and performance. The new organization will focus on corrosion control and protective coatings, as well as other materials-related issues.
