Angles and Demons in the Realm of Protective Coatings: The Underworld of VOCs

Picture for Angles and Demons in the Realm of Protective Coatings: The Underworld of VOCs
Available for download

Ours is an age of stringent VOC regulations and one of the positive responses from coating formulators has been the advent of innovative high solids coatings that contain exempt solvents. While proper surface preparation for applying lining systems has always been crucial to long term coating success our field experience has shown that this is all the more the case with coatings formulated with one or more exempt solvents.

Ours is an age of stringent VOC regulations and one of the positive responses from coating formulators has been the advent of innovative high solids coatings that contain exempt solvents. While proper surface preparation for applying lining systems has always been crucial to long term coating success our field experience has shown that this is all the more the case with coatings formulated with one or more exempt solvents. This paper examines an underworld of the hidden “angels and demons” implications that coatings with exempt solvents pose, first for surface preparation and then for success or failure in immersion service. Potable water and petrochemical service will be the focus of the internal lining discussion. “Light and darkness” potable water case histories are provided that point to how the success of a high-performance lining system using VOC exempt solvents is more contingent on surface profile characteristics than hitherto anticipated.

An Introduction To Low Pressure, Ambient Temperature Polyurea Spraying

Product Number: 41211-616-SG
Author: Stephen Hirt
Publication Date: 2011
$20.00

The purpose of this presentation is to introduce you to low-pressure, ambient temperature spraying of polyurea and to discuss the advantages of low-pressure spray equipment. Some of the inherent advantages are equipment cost, ease of use, less over-spray, and equipment mobility. This presentation will be divided into several key areas. We will examine features and benefits, general equipment specifications, capabilities, operation of the system, typical periodic maintenance requirements and examples of available options.

Water leakage into exterior wall construction is one of the principal causes of damage and deterioration to facade materials and underlying construction. This paper discusses the basic approaches currently used to keep water out of buildings and their relationship to several common exterior wall systems.

An Update and Review of Offshore Systems and Current Testing Scenarios

Product Number: 41206-266-SG
Author: Mike Mitchell
Publication Date: 2006
$20.00

Offshore coating systems have evolved over the past 50 years to allow for restrictions in raw material use and solvent emissions. This has meant that many tried and tested systems can no longer be used.  This paper describes the industry in terms of attempts to generate suitable prequalification testing scenarios which will prevent premature failures of untried new systems
