Hubble Bubble Rising: A New Beginning - The Better Way

Hubble Bubble Rising: A New Beginning - The Better Way
Available for download

This group of authors, thinking outside the proverbial box, and with a mind to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, presented a paper at SSPC 2010 entitled “Hubble, Bubble, Tests and Trouble: The Dark Side of Misreading the Relevance of Coating Testing”. A challenge to the status quo of coatings performance testing, the paper boldly questioned much of the conventional wisdom surrounding coating testing and how that testing is interpreted.

This group of authors, thinking outside the proverbial box, and with a mind to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, presented a paper at SSPC 2010 entitled “Hubble, Bubble, Tests and Trouble: The Dark Side of Misreading the Relevance of Coating Testing”. A challenge to the status quo of coatings performance testing, the paper boldly questioned much of the conventional wisdom surrounding coating testing and how that testing is interpreted. A closer look was also undertaken into barriers to choosing best value coating systems established by a specification process which otherwise can end up being counter productive. Importantly, the paper went on to present a new paradigm regarding the approach to future coating testing and the positive implications for end users. In a fresh light, the present paper delves further into the examination of testing-related questions with answers that, while seemingly negative at times, provide a pathway to a radical improvement in coating system selection for specific end use applications. The original paper ended with the hope for “a better way” for the coatings industry. In the current paper the authors examine the role of specifications, the meaning of performance test results, and the real world needs of end users, and conclude with a solution that will rock the coatings industry. It is the new beginning; welcome to the new world.

(Coating Formulation) Corrosion Resistance Comparison of Zinc-Rich Epoxy With Reduced Zinc Levels

Product Number: 46-COAT_DEC21

Zinc-rich coatings have long been known to provide excellent corrosion resistance in highly corrosive environments, in general,inorganic zincs for new construction and organic zincs for maintenance. A recent trend has been toward zinc-rich coatings with reduced levels of zinc dust. An SSPC committee formed to revise SSPC Paint 29, Zinc Dust Sacrificial Primer, Performance Based, to reference performance only, removing reference to minimum zinc dust level.

Corrosion is a natural phenomenon, and thus can never be completely eliminated; however, it is a misconception nothing can be done. Estimates show 25-30% of steel corrosion could be eliminated if proper corrosion protection methods were employed. Corrosion can simplistically be viewed as the tendency for the metal, after production and shaping, to revert back to its lower, more natural energy state of ore.  This tendency is known as the Law of Entropy.
