VOC Reduction in Epoxy Protective Coatings Using VOC-Exempt Solvents

Product Number: 51217-069-SG

Author: Eric Ripplinger, Yong Zhang, John Newton

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Epoxy solvent-borne coatings are well established for protective coatings due to their outstanding adhesion and corrosion resistance. Since the passage of the Clean Air Act in 1990, coating formulators have developed alternatives to the traditional volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazard air pollutants (HAPs) historically used in solvent-borne protective coatings. The two main approaches employed have been high solids coatings and replacement of solvents with water.

Waiting for the Concrete to Dry: Waiting for the concrete to dry at Johnston Memorial medial building in Arlington, VA.

Product Number: 41212-708-SG

Author: David Simkins

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Most flooring materials require a dry sub-straight before they can be applied and many of the flooring manufacturers have added maximum floor moisture content for their warranties to maintained. Contractors responsible for getting a building turned over to the owner are often finding themselves making a choice between shot basting and sealing the floors or setting up a temporary climate control system.

Warning! Technical Challenges of Compliance with the New Proposition 65 Regulations

Product Number: 51219-212-SG

Author: Kim R. Reid, Ari Lewis, Rosemary Mattuck, Michael Peterson

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Compliance with California's Prop 65 regulations have become even more complicated since the new Clear and Reasonable Warning labeling rules took effect on August 30, 2018. These changes are a definite game changer. With this legal imperative, companies selling products in California may need to consider specific and proactive compliance strategies to address the various implications of the rule. In particular, the new warning labels will be required to list at least one chemical that prompted the warning, along with its associated health effects.

WATCHING PAINT DRY: IT IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS IT SOUNDS

Product Number: 51218-112-SG

Author: Troy Fraebel

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Over the last thirty years, I have been asked by numerous people, including my children, what I do for a living. After trying to explain about corrosion, site condition assessments, coating system selection, specification writing, inspection, training, etc., I default to a standard answer that I am sure many of my readers have used - "I watch paint dry."

Water Based Flame Retardant Coating

Product Number: 51322-18184-SG

Author: Sachin Chavhan

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Fire is the biggest threat for the crews in aircraft, ships, submarines, and land vehicles. As a result of such threats there have been use of fire/flame retardants coatings increased exponentially to curb economic and social consequences of fire [1]. There are various types of coatings available to fight against the fire. Two classes of fire protection technologies are being used currently, 1) Fire retardant and 2) Fire resistant. Fire retardant coatings are passive fire protection coatings where such coatings can slow down the spread of the flames allowing more time for evacuation and firefighting. Fire resistant coatings typically inhibiting the flame penetration or do not ignite upon in contact with fire [2].

Waterborne Alkyds - Combining Oil and Water to Reduce VOC and Solve Coating Performance Challenges

Product Number: 51217-023-SG

Author: Jeffrey Arendt

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

With a history of proven performance in architectural and industrial coatings and the ability to adhere to less-than-ideally prepared substrates, alkyd resins have remained at the forefront of coating technology for well over 50 years. With such an established history, alkyds are often thought of as old technology and synonymously associated with flammable solvents and high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC). These historical associations are not the contemporary story.

Waterborne Clearcoats for Industrial Maintenance

Product Number: 41207-390-SG

Author: Laura M. Vielhauer, Leo J. Procopio

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

The evaluation of clear waterborne acrylic coatings as topcoats in field-applied protective coating systems will be described. Clear coatings were evaluated over both waterborne and solventborne systems. The results of the effects of waterborne systems on properties such as corrosion resistance, gloss, and accelerated weathering will be discussed.
