An Ounce of Prevention... The Reliability of Field Methods for Detecting the Presence of Amine Blush on Epoxy Coatings

An Ounce of Prevention... The Reliability of Field Methods for Detecting the Presence of Amine Blush on Epoxy Coatings
Available for download

Shop and field conditions of high humidity and cool temperature during curing of amine-cured epoxy coatings can produce a haze or oily residue on the surface.  This is commonly referred to as “amine blush.”  The residue is caused by the presence of unreacted amine on the surface of the epoxy coating reacting with carbon dioxide and moisture in the air to form a carbamate.

The reaction is propagated by cool temperatures and is exacerbated by increased film thickness and excess carbon dioxide (e.g., via use of portable gas heaters).  If undetected, the presence of an amine blush (in sufficient quantities) can cause intercoat delamination once the “blushed” coating is recoated.

Glassflake Epoxy - An excellent System for Offshore Platforms Splash Zone

Product Number: 41205-179-SG
Author: A.S.Khanna
Publication Date: 2005
$20.00

Due to very severe conditions at offshore, conventional coatings do not work as they require multicoats to acquire high thickness and their curing times are rather high, giving chances for the contamination by severe environment (high RH and salt) in the intermediate layers. Thus, modern coatings which can give larger thickness in just one single coat and cure in a few minutes time are required for critical applications such as splash zone which is marred by continuous dry and wet spell.

Alphatic Polyurea Speification - The Development of SSPC Paint Specification 39

Product Number: 41205-183-SG
Author: Michael J. Masciale
Publication Date: 2005
$20.00

Recent polyurea resin technology advances have allowed for the development of value-added polyurea topcoats that are proving to be valuable alternatives for many polyurethane applications.  The development of an SSPC specification for a weatherable polyurea topcoat is discussed for the purpose of providing a standard that will be acceptable throughout our industry.
