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.
