In this episode of Coatings Decoded, Jack Walker tells the story of NASCO and Vaughn O’Dea of Epoxytec, and how their work helped establish a standard for getting modern, high-performance coatings to bond to aged infrastructure. It’s a story about solving a very practical problem: finding a way to bring today’s coating technology to yesterday’s infrastructure.

The result goes beyond better adhesion. When high-performance coatings can be successfully applied to aging structures, owners can extend service life, delay replacement and get more usable years from infrastructure that communities already depend on.

Sometimes innovation isn’t about building something new. It’s about finding a better way to keep what we already have working.
