Improved Flexibility of Bis-Phenol a Epoxy Paint by Crosslinking with Amino-Functional Siloxane Resin

Product Number: 41205-173-SG
Author: Lisa A. Honaman, Gerald L. Witucki
Publication Date: 2005
$20.00

Bis-Phenol A epoxy resin-based coatings are known for excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. Limitations of this class of coatings are poor flexibility, thermal stability and weather resistance.  Traditional siloxane resins are commonly used in the industry to improve the thermal and weather resistance of bis-Phenol A epoxy coatings. In addition, organo-functional silicone polymers have been used to provide improved flexibility, but create recoatability issues.

Thickness Does Matter - The Use of Thick Linings In Industrial Applications

Product Number: 41205-186-SG
Author: Bharat Naik, Marty Seigel, Michael Babiarz, Phil Kennedy,
Publication Date: 2005
$20.00

While a coating is typically measured in mils, a lining typically refers to an application of 1/16 inch or thicker.  Certain industrial applications are best served through the use of a thick lining with unique physical properties that provide superior resistance against abrasion, impact, chemicals, and corrosion.

Improved Performance Testing for Coatings in Corrosive Service

Product Number: 41205-199-SG
Author: Greg Ruschau
Publication Date: 2005
$20.00

Improved selection of testing protocols for corrosion coatings, along with proper interpretation of the results, allows for a better representation of how coatings will perform in service.  A review of several types of corrosive service environments is presented, including the testing normally performed, along with a more in depth look at how to quantify performance variables in a rating system based on individual test results.

Coating of Structural Steel for Public Structures

Product Number: 41205-212-SG
Author: John C. Williams
Publication Date: 2005
$20.00

The primary structure of many outdoor baseball parks and football stadiums is exposed structural steel.  These facilities are often located in major cities in areas that may present challenges in control of corrosion.  The challenge is also manifested in the fact that the structural steel frame becomes an architectural feature which must be maintained as an aesthetic element.

Latest Developments with Solvent-Free Epoxy Coatings

Product Number: 41205-213-SG
Author: Michael Winter
Publication Date: 2005
$20.00

Regulations limiting Volatile Organic Content (VOC) have led to increased interest in solvent-free epoxy coatings, but the use of these coatings can give significant performance advantages and not just environmental compliance.

The Performance of Waterborne Acrylic Coatings in an Accelerated Testing Protocol

Product Number: 41206-226-SG
Author: Colleen Campbell, Leo J. Procopio
Publication Date: 2006
$20.00

Traditionally, a zinc-rich primer, epoxy midcoat and polyurethane topcoat have been the standard 3-coat solvent borne system used for coating structural steel, such as in the maintenance of bridges. This study describes the performance of waterborne acrylic coating systems in an accelerated testing protocol including corrosion resistance and cyclic weathering. A comparison of systems based solely on waterborne acrylic coatings, as well as hybrid systems (e.g., zinc rich primer with waterborne topcoats), to the industry standard will be discussed.

100% Pure Polyurea Solves Serious Problem at Wastewater Treatment Plant

Product Number: 41206-252-SG
Author: Tony Ippoliti
Publication Date: 2006
$20.00

During the testing of circular grit chambers in a wastewater treatment plant under construction, serious leaking problems were discovered prior to project completion.  After meetings with the Owner, Design and Construction engineering firms, painting contractor and coatings manufacturer, the decision was made to apply 80 mils of pure polyurea to various concrete surfaces.  This presentation, through the use of photo images taken during remediation, describes the nature of the problem and how it was solved.

New Directions in Thick Film Coatings for Direct to Metal Roofing Applications

Product Number: 41206-263-SG
Author: Chris J. Marshall
Publication Date: 2006
$20.00

There are a wide variety of materials and techniques available for protecting metal roof decks. Each of these technologies presents specific problems and challenges.  This paper will provide an overview on the use of polyurethane hybrid thick-film-coatings in direct to metal roofing applications and how the unique chemistry and physical properties of these coatings allow them to address some of the key failure issues associated with alternative roofing materials.

Publication Date: 2006
$20.00

The twenty-first century presents a major challenge to coatings manufacturers. The amount of solvent allowable in many coatings has been reduced considerably. In order to attain these lower VOC’s, coatings formulators are searching for resins that have low VOC demand, as well as ways of formulating that can replace the high volumes of solvent used in the past

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) spends over $50 million in steel bridge fabrication and shop painting annually.  According to a recent Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored study by Appleman, approximately 7% of the cost of a steel bridge is budgeted for blast cleaning and primer application in most shops.  FDOT knows that proper surface preparation and primer application are the best ways to assure long-term corrosion protection.

Forensic Evaluation of Long-Term Galvanic Cathodic Protection of Bridge Pilings in a Marine Environment

Marine environments can be very aggressive and present significant challenges in maintaining key infrastructure from the effects of corrosion.  In Florida, thousands of bridges are in coastal areas and are continually, or periodically exposed to saltwater conditions.  A clear majority of these bridges were constructed using steel reinforced concrete and are supported by precast pilings situated in saltwater, so for this reason, cathodic protection is a necessary strategy for controlling the effects of saltwater induced corrosion. 

Toward the early 1980s, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) began the evaluation of different approaches to control saltwater induced corrosion.  Some of these included the use of integral pile jackets, specialty materials for concrete repairs, surface applied coatings and other innovative approaches utilizing galvanic anode technology.  One such system was jointly developed with industry partners and sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) using integral pile jackets lined with expanded zinc mesh anodes to apply cathodic protection. This innovative approach provides for the problem of concrete repair while at the same time stopping the on-going process of corrosion both combined in one application.  Both laboratory and field trials validated the benefits to this approach and confirmed that the system can mitigate corrosion and extend the useful service life of pilings by more than 20 years.
