          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** High performance coatings are designed for severe and moderate exposures. Mild exposure coatings are usually specified in Section 09900 - Paints and Coatings. Unless the drawings indicate exactly which coating system is to be used on each substrate, it is necessary to define the meaning of severe and moderate exposure by identifying the areas of the project that apply to each category.
 
          2.3APPLICATIONS/SCOPE
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Severe exposure can occur both indoors and outdoors and is defined as any of the following conditions. If you wish to apply a better coating to a moderate exposure substrate in order to increase the longevity of the coating, include that substrate in the severe category. Coordinate with Contract Drawings, areas of the project in this category:- Aggressive marine environment.- Areas of frequent, heavy rainfall.- Areas with consistently high humidity.- Areas with consistently intense ultraviolet exposure.- Surfaces subject to cooling tower fallout or frequent deluge testing or washdown.- Exposure to the fumes or splash of aggressive concentrations of acid, alkalies, or solvents.- Surfaces highly vulnerable to mechanical damage or abrasion.
 
          A.Severe Exposure Applications: Coordinate with Section 09900 and Contract Drawings for all Severe Exposure areas of the project.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Moderate exposure can occur both indoors and outdoors and is defined as any of the following conditions. Coordinate with Contract Drawings, areas of the project in this category:- Moderate marine environment.- Areas of frequent rainfall.- Areas with high humidity.- Areas with high ultraviolet exposure.- Exposure to lower concentrations of less aggressive chemicals.
- Surfaces infrequently or never subject to mechanical damage or abrasion.
 
          B.Moderate Exposure Applications: Coordinate with Section 09900 and Contract Drawings for all Moderate Exposure areas of the project.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Mild exposure can occur both indoors and outdoors and is defined as any of the following conditions. Coordinate with Contract Drawings, areas of the project in this category:- On exterior, regions with moderate or no rainfall or humidity.- No frequent washdown.- No exposure to chemicals.- Surfaces infrequently or never subject to mechanical damage or abrasion.
 
          C.Mild Exposure Applications: Coordinate with Section 09900 and Contract Drawings for all Mild Exposure areas of the project.
          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Use the following to define the scope of high performance coating work if not fully defined in a Finish Schedule or on the drawings. This must be carefully edited to reflect the surfaces actually found on the project. Be sure to coordinate scope with Section 09900 - Paints and Coatings if included.** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** If the project involves repainting some but not all existing painted surfaces, be sure to indicated the extent of the repainting.
