The Definitive Voice

The "Journal of Record" for the protective and marine coatings market, and the official journal of SSPC, the Society for Protective Coatings. The Journal of Protective Coatings & Linings is focused on the technology, specification, and application of protective and marine coatings. JPCL has been a fundamental benefit for all SSPC members since 1984.

Each month, JPCL delivers reliable, unbiased information on new technology and good practice in the use of high performance anti-corrosion coatings and linings for steel and concrete structures - bridges, ships, oil and gas facilities, offshore platforms, power generation facilities, water storage and treatment, wastewater treatment, pipelines, railcars, and every type of industrial plant.

Harold Hower, Ph.D., an educator and editor in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, founded Technology Publishing Company in 1984, the publisher of JPCL. The publication is focused on good practice in the selection and use of protective and marine coatings for corrosion control.

The proprietary journal was created to advance the interests of the Steel Structures Painting Council (SSPC), a non-profit technical society connected to Carnegie-Mellon University.
