This standard provides requirements for selecting and evaluating abrasive media encapsulated in a compressible non-uniform cellular matrix used to blast clean steel and other surfaces prior to the application of protective coatings. The standard also includes requirements for quality control of new and recycled media.
This guide provides the specifier and user with information regarding the use of pre-construction primers (PCPs) on structural steel in shipbuilding. It provides background on the reasons to use and retain PCPs, the types of PCPs and their application and inspection, and the secondary surface preparation processes that are used when PCPs are retained in the final, compatible primary coating system. While this document contains details specific to the shipbuilding industry, the technical concepts related to the application and retention of PCP may apply to other industrial applications.
This Guide is intended for owners, consultants, and contractors who perform condition surveys and write maintenance coating programs. It is not intended to be a do-it-yourself guide but is representative of the processes that a coating specialist (such as a Protective Coating Specialist [PCS] certified by AMPP) would follow to develop a maintenance coating plan for specific facilities.
This standard is one of a set of three standards that define levels of surface cleanliness for concrete substrates pre- pared using abrasive blast cleaning. The cleanliness levels are based on 1) the extent of removal of the existing coating and 2) the extent to which surface air voids are opened. Thorough Blast Cleaning (SSPC-SP CAB-1), defines the highest level of cleanliness. The other two standards in the set, Intermediate Blast Cleaning (SSPC-SP CAB-2) and Brush Blast Cleaning (SSPC-SP CAB-3), define lesser levels of concrete cleanliness. All three levels of cleanliness require complete removal of all unsound surface materials, all efflorescence, and all laitance.
The U.S. Navy has determined that thermal spray coatings can be used as an alternative to traditional epoxy based nonskid coatings under high temperature applications to extend service life. Traditional nonskid coatings break down under the stresses leading to loss of adhesion, deck corrosion and reduced slip resistance. Using a twin-wire arc spray system, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) successfully applied an aluminum-based ceramic-metallic thermal spray material on the flight deck of USS Wasp (LHD 1).
This discussion covers the research, development, and implementation of a truly paperless job-site documentation and quality control app, featuring examples of its application on four US Navy shipyards.
At this very moment the equipment, infrastructure and facilities of this nation and of the Department of Defense (DoD) are under attack by a known enemy. This enemy has the ability to work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The damage, degradation, and deterioration caused by this enemy doesn’t happen overnight; it usually happens over an extended period of time and is often visible to us during the process. That enemy is corrosion!
It is well known that corrosion has a significant impact on sustainment, system costs, and system availability to the warfighter. Mitigating such impacts is one of the greatest drivers to DoD Science &Technology (S&T) requirements and therefore research programs.
When protective coatings are considered for application work, normal uses such as concrete coating, waterproofing, abrasion protection; steel corrosion protection; and other protective applications are the norm. However, there is a whole world of other uses for protective coatings including personal protection applications. The reality is that coating systems are being used for a variety of government, military, police and personal protection applications with excellent results.
The USMC CPAC Program provides a holistic approach to corrosion engineering on ground vehicles. This starts with the acquisition of a new system, where CPAC will work with the Program Manager (PM) to develop the contractual requirements for corrosion prevention and aid in the evaluation and verification of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to meeting those requirements.
