Improve Surface Preparation Quality with AMPP VIS Guides

Consistent surface preparation is essential for achieving quality coating performance, and having the right visual reference can make all the difference.

AMPP VIS Guides provide practical visual references to help coating inspectors, contractors, engineers, applicators, and asset owners evaluate surface conditions with greater consistency and confidence.

The series has expanded with two new guides:

• VIS Guide 10 — Covers steel surfaces prepared by non-thermal atmospheric plasma cleaning

• VIS Guide 11 — Focuses on steel surfaces prepared by pulsed laser ablation

Whether you are inspecting, specifying, or verifying surface preparation, AMPP VIS Guides can help reduce subjectivity and support better coating outcomes.

Elevate your surface preparation results with the full collection of VIS Guides.

Not every surface should be coated.

Maskant Materials provide temporary protection for areas that need to remain coating-free during finishing and manufacturing processes. Designed for precision masking, these solutions help manufacturers control where coatings are applied while protecting critical surfaces.
