Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation of Steel Substrates

Product Number: PB-C0M05-pdf

ISBN: 978-1-57590-441-2

Author: Edited by Jean Broge

$185.00

The life of a coating depends as much on the degree and quality of surface preparation as on the selected coating system, because most coating failures can be attributed to inadequate surface preparation or lack of coating adhesion.

In this Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation of Steel Substrates reference book, students and technicians are provided with the basics of numerous surface preparation techniques, pertinent technical standards, and numerous case studies on how to apply the techniques and adhere to the standards.

AMPP SP21523-2022, Non-thermal Plasma Surface Preparation of Metals

Product Number: AMPP SP21523-2022

$109.00

This standard contains the general requirements for the safe and effective use of APC equipment, operated either manually hand-held or through use of automation, to prepare various metallic surfaces for maintenance, repair, recoating, or lining. This standard does not address surface preparation of concrete.

APC is applied to the entire surface specified to be prepared for a new coating or lining. Poorly adhered surface material and coating that cannot withstand the APC process are removed, while, depending on the chosen cleanliness level, any remaining coating is suitably prepared prior to the application of a new coating layer over the existing. In the case of metallic substrates, the underlying surface profile will be revealed whenever surface contamination and coatings are removed.

Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation and Coating Application of Concrete

Product Number: PB-C0M01-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-423-8

$190.00

Concrete surface preparation differs from surface preparation of steel, mostly due to the inherent properties of concrete.

Concrete is a non-uniform mixture of porous, permeable materials (cement, sand, stone, additives, water) with low tensile strength and often numerous cracks and defects. It will vary in properties, including moisture content, from site to site and within any site due to the batched nature of its production and installation.

Ranging from the basics of corrosion in reinforced concrete to using forensic science to determine concrete coatings failure, in this Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation and Coating Application of Concrete reference book, students and technicians learn problem solving via multiple case studies and technical artiles.

Preparation of Concrete for Rapid Coating Application

Product Number: 41214-822-SG

Author: Fred Goodwin, Frank Apicella

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Because process shutdowns are expensive, it is desirable to speed up the turn-around time when applying protective coating systems on concrete. Rapid installation of surfacing materials on concrete can be problematical due to inadequate surface preparation, residual moisture, low surface tensile strength, and poor compatibility between the concrete substrate repair materials and the protective coating system.

Advances in Mechanical Surface Preparation

Product Number: 41212-663-SG

Author: Kumar Balan

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

The coatings industry is very familiar with shot/grit blasting as a mechanical means of surface preparation. Over the years, operators have worked with manual and automatic blast equipment with its associated dust collection arrangements. The industry is highly competitive, and control on operating costs is critical. Therefore, coaters are always on the lookout for ways to tune their process by lowering costs and increasing productivity.

Concrete Structures in Wastewater Environments: Key Considerations for Substrate Repair and Surface Preparation for Protective Coatings/Linings Applications

Product Number: 51324-20364-SG

Author: Brian Cheshire; Vaughn O'Dea

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Concrete is the most predominately used construction material for wastewater collection and treatment facilities. Nevertheless, there are still many questions and misconceptions on how to properly evaluate this substrate prior to commencing a coating or lining project. Knowing how to address any defects or necessary repairs is imperative for all projects, but in many cases, some of these repairs or details are omitted. In turn, questions still arise from the field on how to properly prepare these surfaces. Answering these questions is a vital task, as surface preparation is a major component in the successful installation of protective linings or polymer concretes. The main goal for any concrete coating project is the long-term protection of the substrate from corrosive and physical forces, which cannot be achieved without all these key steps taking place prior to placing the asset into immersion or chemical containment service. In summary, this paper will review the common forms of concrete attack mechanisms that occur in wastewater environments and will also review current industry best practices to repair (and prepare) concrete prior to the application of polymer concretes or high-performance protective linings. Some select case histories will be discussed in order to illustrate some of the concepts covered throughout the paper.
