Coating Advisor Interview Questions and Answers

DFT stands for Dry Film Thickness.

• DFT is a measurement of the thickness of a coating after it has dried.

• It is important to ensure the DFT meets specifications for performance and durability.

• Common methods for measuring DFT include magnetic gauges and electronic gauges.

• Example: A coating may require a DFT of 50 microns for optimal protection.

WFT stands for Wet Film Thickness.

• WFT is a measurement of the thickness of a coating while it is still wet and has not yet dried.

• It is important to measure WFT to ensure the coating will perform as intended once dried.

• WFT is typically measured using a wet film thickness gauge.

• Example: The WFT of the paint should be 5-6 mils for optimal performance.
