Chalking

A powdery surface condition that can affect bonding and requires assessment of the actual existing coating before recoating.

Efflorescence

Deposited salts associated with moisture transport and evaporation, indicating a need to investigate relevant material and water routes.

Adhesion

Attachment between a coating layer and its support, distinct from the internal strength of either material alone.

Cohesion

Internal resistance of a material to separation, which can fail even when the surface coating appears well attached.

Stain-blocking primer

A compatible intermediate product designed to restrict particular stain migration, rather than a universal treatment for all dampness or contamination.

Surface profile

The measured or described texture of a prepared surface, assessed against the actual coating system requirement and measurement method.

Binder

The film-forming component connecting pigment particles and the substrate, with behavior determined by the actual formulation and conditions.

Volume solids

The stated volume fraction remaining as dry coating solids in the specified model, distinct from mass solids and practical coverage.

Pot life

The permitted usable interval of the specified mixed reactive product under stated conditions, not a guarantee for every spread area.

Coalescence

Formation of a continuous dispersion film as particles approach and merge under suitable formulation and environmental conditions.

Recoat window

The product-specific interval and conditions for applying another compatible layer, distinct from touch dryness and full cure.

Transfer efficiency

The fraction of supplied application material deposited on the intended target under defined conditions, not a universal equipment constant.

Pattern repeat

The distance between corresponding design features, used with actual match instructions and cutting dimensions to plan usable drops.

Booking

A specified resting arrangement for certain pasted wallcoverings, allowing relevant moisture movement before hanging rather than applying to every backing.

Metamerism

A color match under one illuminant that differs under another because the materials have different spectral response characteristics.

Glaze

A translucent decorative layer whose compatibility, working time and application influence the appearance of the underlying base coat.

Batch identifier

A traceability reference helping compare supplied material production groups, without independently proving perfect color or product condition.

Approved sample

An agreed physical appearance reference prepared and assessed under defined conditions, rather than a substitute for every technical installation requirement.

Barrier protection

Reduction of relevant exposure through a suitable continuous coating system, dependent on preparation, compatibility, detailing and actual service conditions.

Galvanic corrosion

Electrochemical corrosion involving electrically connected dissimilar materials in an appropriate electrolyte, affected by their actual areas and exposure.

Dew point

The temperature at which air of a stated moisture content becomes saturated, relevant to assessing possible condensation on a surface.

Vapor permeability

The ability of a material to transmit water vapor under defined conditions, distinct from liquid-water absorption or leak resistance.

Conservation compatibility

The relationship between a proposed intervention and the existing material, appearance, moisture behavior and agreed preservation requirements.

Condition survey

A documented assessment of relevant existing defects, materials and exposure that informs a repair decision and its remaining uncertainties.

Hold point

A defined stage requiring appropriate verification or approval before work proceeds and makes the relevant feature difficult or impossible to inspect.

Change control

An accountable process for assessing and approving a departure from specified information, rather than silently substituting a convenient product or method.

Temporary stability

The needed resistance to instability during an intermediate construction stage, which cannot be assumed from the completed structure’s final load path.

Task-specific control

A protective measure selected for the actual hazard, equipment, conditions and competence, rather than a universal glove, distance or generic PPE instruction.

Net quantity

The amount calculated for the defined work before separately specified allowances, which must use consistent dimensions and measurement conventions.

Handover evidence

Relevant records, observations, accepted conditions and unresolved issues communicated to the responsible recipient at completion, beyond a neat visible surface.
