Bio Based Waterborne Floor Coatings with Enhanced Flow, Appearance, and Early Hardness Development

Product Number: 41215-900-SG

Author: Steve Hellems, John Willhite, Ramesh Subramanian

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

The use of sustainable materials in the flooring market has gained widespread interest in recent years. Bio based raw materials contribute significantly to these efforts and are used to prepare environmentally friendly coatings. Castor oil-based emulsions are used as polyols in waterborne polyurethane coatings. These systems have outstanding chemical resistance and good durability. But they have inherent issues like very short pot life, poor appearance / flow properties, and delayed early hardness development.

BPA Epoxide Inorganic/Organic Coatings with nanoCarbon Additives

Product Number: 41215-933-SG

Author: Mark D. Soucek

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Brief Background Throughout the last decades, coatings science has incorporated very versatile inorganic materials into organic coating to form the inorganic/organic hybrid coating systems. Combining various organic and inorganic constituents in combination with different preparation and processing methods, very versatile materials can be produced for optical, structural and coatings applications. The hybrid products have combined the properties of the inorganic materials, i.e., hardness, durability, and thermal stability, and organic polymers, i.e., flexibility and toughness.

Can Micelles Be Used To Expedite And Enhance Laboratory Qualification Testing?

Product Number: 51322-17824-SG

Author: Scott Rankin, Andy Osnowski, Emma Perfect

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The prevention of internal corrosion remains a significant challenge during the production of oil and gas. The use of film forming corrosion inhibitors is an important and cost-effective means of protecting assets from corrosion. These chemicals operate by forming a protective layer between the corrosive species present in the produced fluids and the pipe surface.

Can One Coatings be Best for All CUI Service

Product Number: 41216-987-SG

Author: Michael MeLampy

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Corrosion under Insulation (CUI) is accelerated corrosion that takes place under insulation typically used to conserve energy, help with process control, and protect workers from temperature extremes. CUI is an issue for facility owners in many industries that use heat or cold in their industrial processes, including chemical processing, refining, fertilizer manufacturing, and power generation. Insulation used in these applications is generally mechanically attached to the substrate vessel or pipeline and is typically covered with cladding. Cladding is typically made out of metal or plastic and is applied to protect the insulation from physical damage and to keep water away from the insulation and substrate.

Carbonate And Sulfide Scale Formation In Multiphase Conditions

Product Number: 51322-17894-SG

Author: Olujide Sanni, Thibaut Charpentier, Anne Neville

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Inorganic fouling in oilfields has resulted in millions of dollars of operating expenditure every year since the inception of offshore oil and gas drilling, where mineral scale deposition in tubing, flowlines and downhole equipment leads to significant production downtime. Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) fouling is endemic in oilfield systems, as produced water containing both bicarbonate and calcium ions is prone to form precipitates as a result of pressure changes during production.The release of carbon dioxide gas from the aqueous phase prompts the evolution of carbonate resulting in a rise in pH and consequent precipitation.

Case History: Decorative Yet Functional Floor Coating at the Energy Innovation Center

Product Number: 51216-002-SG

Author: Steven Reinstadtler

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The Energy Innovation Center’s approximately 80-year-old concrete floor had significant divots and was badly spalled and cracked. The concrete floor, often referred to as “The Racetrack” due to its oval shape, serves as the main hallway to a newly renovated technology hub and needed significant structural and aesthetic work. The re-finished floor had to offer durable functionality as well as blend into the neo-industrial look of the re-tasked building.

Case History: Site-Applied Decorative Polyaspartic Flooring in A Residential Garage Floor Application

Product Number: 41214-850-SG

Author: Steven Reinstadtler, Margaret Kendi

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Polyaspartic coatings have been used for years in high-performance industrial protective applications such as bridge infrastructure, water and wastewater, and transportation. More recently, these types of coatings have begun to migrate into commercial and architectural applications due to end users’ desires to protect their architectural infrastructure while maintaining a high degree of aesthetics and beauty.

Case Studies On Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor Monitoring Using Electrical Resistance Probes For Oil And Gas Assets.

Product Number: 51322-17855-SG

Author: Daniel Mugongo, Juan Dominguez Olivo

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) are assets that contain valuable goods for the oil and gas industry. Consequently, monitoring and preventing loss of containment and extending the service life of those assets is a priority for the abovementioned industries. To monitor the degradation process of the tanks, ER probes are typically used to determine the corrosion rates. Corrosion rates can be used to forecast the service life of an asset by estimating the time at which the degradation reaches a critical thickness of the tank. If the corrosion rate is such that the critical thickness is expected to reach below the expected service life of the asset, the lifespan can be extended by corrosion mitigation methods.
