Coatings are key industrial materials used to protect a variety of surfaces, including metals, wood, concrete and plastics. Their purpose is to provide protection against external influences such as corrosion processes, UV radiation, moisture and mechanical wear. However, despite their surface protection function, coatings are prone to degradation, which can have serious consequences for the surfaces they are intended to protect. This text will deal with the analysis of the degradation of coatings used to protect concrete surfaces by means of Fourier transform infrared spectrometry.
