(Coating Application, Types & Characteristics) Use of Duplex Coating Systems for Protection of Structural Steel

Picture for Coatings + Proceedings 2021-ALL Papers

The use of duplex coating systems (hot dip galvanizing or thermal spray coating with one or more liquid-applied coatings) for long term protection of structural steel is becoming more mainstream in many industries. This paper describes the advantages of employing duplex coating systems as well as some important considerations for designers prior to specifying their use. It also highlights an ongoing initiative to help agencies more efficiently and effectively use duplex coatings on steel bridges by developing guidelines, standards, and other materials.

(Coating Formulation) Can Low Zinc Epoxy Primers Work as Well as Traditional Zinc Rich Epoxy Primers

Product Number: 47-COAT_DEC21
Author: Alex Yagüe / Pinturas Hempel / David Morton
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Zinc-rich primers, with zinc dust loadings of 80-85% by weight in the dry film, are often the preferred primer during new construction of assets placed in environments with high atmospheric corrosivity. Coating standards such as SSPC-Paint 20 and ISO 12944 demand that zinc-rich primers contain at least 65% and 80% zinc dust by weight in the final dry film, respectively. Traditional zinc rich primers need this high zinc loading to achieve galvanic protection of steel. New technology allows us to develop zinc primers with a lower content of zinc and/or different zinc morphology than dust to provide similar or better corrosion protection to the steel.

(Coating Formulation) Corrosion Resistance Comparison of Zinc-Rich Epoxy With Reduced Zinc Levels

Product Number: 46-COAT_DEC21
Author: Mary Roley
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Zinc-rich coatings have long been known to provide excellent corrosion resistance in highly corrosive environments, in general,inorganic zincs for new construction and organic zincs for maintenance. A recent trend has been toward zinc-rich coatings with reduced levels of zinc dust. An SSPC committee formed to revise SSPC Paint 29, Zinc Dust Sacrificial Primer, Performance Based, to reference performance only, removing reference to minimum zinc dust level.

(Case Studies) Crisis Management for Construction Projects

Product Number: 43-COAT_DEC21
Author: Dr. Akram Saad
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Construction companies will experience a crisis at some point during its existence.
This is especially true for construction companies, where it is not a matter of “if” one will happen but “when” it will happen. A crisis is the sudden occurrence of any unplanned or unexpected event that causes harm to the project /company, employees, or the public. The crisis could be a medical/safety emergency, a natural disaster, or personnel crisis dealing with unethical or illegal activities.
Construction companies must always operate with a “better safe than sorry” mindset. A proactive way to do so is to ensure that there is a crisis management plan in place.
