Numerous industry studies have shown a lack of correlation between outdoor weathering performance in Florida, and performance in common accelerated weathering tests-- particularly when multiple types of resins are being compared. No single accelerated weathering test exists that can predict the outdoor performance for every type of resin in every color.

Application and curing dynamics of paints are rarely quantified over a wide range of varying climactic conditions; yet this information is critical to the final performance of the coating. There is a growing need among raw material suppliers, formulators, and applicators to better understand the performance of products under the extreme humidity and temperature conditions experienced during application.
Vinyl coatings have long been used in the hydro industry for steel structures. As VOC regulations and product availability have changed, owners have moved toward alternative technologies to replace those systems. The intent of this information is to understand the status of vinyl technology, identify and discuss other systems that have historically been used as an alternative, and to review the possibilities of new technologies for these applications.
Maximizing coating system longevity reduces total ownership costs to the US Navy fleet. Coating performance is directly tied to achieving proper film thickness control across the entire project surface. A novel concept of using digital camera/filters in synergy with MIL-PRF-23236 coating technology with enhanced optical properties provides unique inspection capabilities.
The presentation is meant to be a guide for owners, contractors, and engineering/inspection teams – from the perspective of a licensed resident engineer – on how to be successful bidding, scheduling, coordinating, and performing work on a large scale and high-profile coatings contract. Contractors will gain insight into aspects of the project that may be outside their specialty and see examples of unanticipated issues that develop during a major project that should be considered when preparing a bid.
Over the last thirty years, I have been asked by numerous people, including my children, what I do for a living. After trying to explain about corrosion, site condition assessments, coating system selection, specification writing, inspection, training, etc., I default to a standard answer that I am sure many of my readers have used - "I watch paint dry."
This paper will cover what are"nuclear"coatings as well as special nuclear requirements.
Having been in this coatings world for over 30 years, I have seen many, many coating failures. I remember in my SSPC & NACE certification courses listening to the grizzled vets tell their “old war stories”. Now, I have my own, three of which I am going to share with you.
This paper will discuss a hands-on workshop, interactive session to train participants to write effective corrective actions as they relate to typical problems for an industrial coating contractor. This workshop should be particularly helpful to coating contractors who are QP certified by SSPC. QP1, QP3, and QS1 certified contractors are required to document corrective actions.
