Powder Coating - Contract Metal Finishing; How to Avoid Premature Coating Failures

Powder Coating - Contract Metal Finishing; How to Avoid Premature Coating Failures
Available for download

Every year millions of dollars are spent litigating the responsibility issues associated with the repair or replacement of coated products that have prematurely lost their decorative or protective value due to improper coating specification or application. Many of these failures could have been avoided if the proper finishing materials and methods were specified, followed, certified and documented.

Proposed Standard for Levels of Inspection

Product Number: 41208-431-SG
Author: Louis G. Lyras, Dave Hatherill, William LePage
Publication Date: 2008
$20.00

This paper identifies the problems with current inspection procedures and discusses a proposed standard for levels of inspection that the owner will specify in the contract documents. The paper identifies the problems and cost to contractors and owners for inspection without clear and specified inspection standards and will demonstrate a savings without compromising the quality of the work.

Thermal Imaging as a Forensic Tool in Coating Failure Investigations

Product Number: 41208-454-SG
Author: E. Bud Senkowski
Publication Date: 2008
$20.00

This paper discusses the use of thermal imaging as an analytical tool in forensic investigations of moisture-related coating failures applied over hollow core building walls. The success of thermal imaging depends upon detecting subtle temperature differences arising from differences in thermal conductivity of the coated wall surfaces. The method is a valuable adjunct to contemporary failure investigation methodology.

Quest for the “20 Year” Coating

Product Number: 41208-458-SG
Author: Dannie L. Vickers
Publication Date: 2008
$20.00

Occasionally, the protective coatings on a structure reach a life span of 20 years. Quite often when this happens, one of the companies involved in the project, either the coating supplier or coating applicator, will publish pictures of the bridge or tank in a trade magazine as if the project was a great achievement. If instead, we accept the premise that most of the resins used to manufacture protective coatings easily remain stable for 20 years, we should ask ourselves the question, “why aren’t all of the coating systems lasting 20 years?”
