The World Trade Center (WTC) Transportation Hub is a multi-billion-dollar project comprising WTC Tower One, the train station, and retail space. The structural steel and architectural elements require long-term corrosion and fire protection. The design of the buildings and various architectural elements within them presented many difficulties to providing the desired end-result.

The World Trade Center (WTC) Transportation Hub is a multi-billion-dollar project comprising WTC Tower One, the train station, and retail space. The structural steel and architectural elements require long-term corrosion and fire protection. The design of the buildings and various architectural elements within them presented many difficulties to providing the desired end-result. For architectural elements requiring fire protection and an aesthetically pleasing appearance, the fabrication of the steel, particularly the shapes, were major factors World Trade Center (WTC) Site influencing the appearance.    For Tower One, fire protection of exterior steel that will be difficult to access after the building is completed, prompted investigations into engineered systems to provide the longest possible life cycle.    The antenna for WTC Tower One also presented challenges to providing a long-life coating system due to the complicated design, size of the sections, and fabrication tolerances.

Factors Influencing the Stay-Clean Properties and Service Life of New Fluoropolymer Coatings

Product Number: 41212-721-SG
Author: Kurt Wood
Publication Date: 2012
$20.00

Highly durable fluoropolymer coatings also generally have very good “stay-clean” properties. For this class of coatings, many of the factors contributing to stay-clean properties and exterior durability are linked. We will review these factors and examine particularly their role in affecting the properties of coatings based on the new waterborne fluoropolymer-acrylic hybrid technology. Using these principles, realistic estimates of the service life of these premium coatings can be determined.
