Long known for its protective coatings mission, SSPC launched a commercial coatings panel at SSPC 2012.
Under the leadership of KTA-Tator president Kenneth Trimber, that group is working to develop independent, consensus-based standards for coatings and related materials used in commercial and institutional applications. The work also includes developing guides related to surface preparation, coatings selection and coatings application for the commercial, architectural and institutional sectors.

Except for the longevity award and the Military Coatings Project Award of Excellence (detailed below), nominated projects must have been completed between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. The deadline for submissions is Oct. 15.
