The Edgy Truth About Corrosion - How Carbon Nanotubes (CNT’s) are Redefining Edge Protection

Product Number: 51220-251-SG

Author: Joe Davis

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

This paper will outline the results of using CNTs in liquid applied coatings, resulting in the elimination of secondary surface preparation steps such as grinding, chamfering, and rounding of edges as well as eliminating the need to apply a stripe coat. The overall impact realized from the elimination of these process steps include, increased productivity, increased throughput, improved edge coating performance, and substantial lowering of project costs.

The Effect of Four Commercially Available Steel Decontamination Processes on the Performance of Internal Linings

Product Number: 41215-911-SG

Author: Michael Melancon, Paul Hunter, Amal Al-Borno, Tomasz Liskiewicz, Sherry Rao, Bassem Salamah, Shailesh Dhoke, Steve Hourcade, Julius Cortes, Xianyi Chen

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Internal linings used for corrosion protection often have to perform under severely corrosive environments. One major concern regarding coating performance is the negative effect of soluble salts on the steel substrate at the time of lining application, particularly for higher temperature lining applications. These salts impact the ability of the applied coating systems to protect the steel in several ways including osmotic coating blistering, promotion of under-film metallic corrosion and lining disbondment.

The Effects Of Different Blast Abrasives On The Performance Of Liquid-Applied Epoxy Pipeline Coatings

Product Number: 51322-17806-SG

Author: Haralampos Tsaprailis, Shan (Sherry) Rao

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Proper surface preparation to create sufficient adhesion of a coating over the substrate is fundamentally important in the long-life performance of a protective coating. Abrasive blast cleaning provides a fast and well-established method of surface preparation, which utilizes energy generated by an air supply to deliver a mass of abrasive particles at certain speeds and volumes to impact the steel resulting in a cleaned surface. The method not only cleans the surface to remove rust, scale, paint, and similar contaminations, but also roughens the surface to produce mechanical and chemical adhesion for a coating. Therefore, abrasive blasting is the preferred method for preparing steel for the application of high-performance coatings and routinely used for achieving the required surface conditions prior to a coating work.

The Gas Fracking Boom: Expanded Opportunities for the Protective Coatings Industry

Product Number: 41214-857-SG

Author: E. Bud Senkowski

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

A new era of natural gas exploration is spreading across the continental United States and Canada. Through a technique called hydraulic fracturing (fracking), huge deposits of oil shale, like the Marcellus and Utica deposits that extend from the Appalachians and into Canada, are now producing enough gas to meet North America’s needs for the next 14 years. The boom in gas exploration has opened up new markets for pipeline and joint coating materials to provide corrosion protection.

The Long Term Effects Of Surface Preparation: Evaluating ISO 12944 In Offshore Coating Application With Waterjetting And Cleaning Additive

Product Number: 51322-18021-SG

Author: Jerry Woodson, Alex Petkas

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Offshore assets such as drilling rigs, production platforms, and wind turbines present challenges for corrosion prevention maintenance. The primary defense against atmospheric corrosion on structural steel in offshore saltwater environments is a protective coating system.

Several factors cause protective coatings to degrade rapidly: besides wearing and damage encountered in installation and use, ultraviolet light breaks down the organic resins and corrosive seawater causes under creep at any breaks in the coating. Maintenance coating for offshore atmospheric systems can therefore be necessary as early as the second year.

The Use of Contemporary Painted Coatings to Restore the Appearance and Performance of Exterior Historic Architectural Elements at the West Virginia State Capitol

Product Number: 41210-557-SG

Author: Elizabeth Moss

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

Designed by renowned architect Cass Gilbert, the West Virginia State Capitol is undergoing its first comprehensive exterior rehabilitation since it was completed in 1932. Deterioration at this building can be traced to either poor original surface preparation or inappropriate and insufficient previous maintenance. This presentation will focus on the use of contemporary painted coatings to restore the gilded sheet metal dome and the polychromatic terra cotta cornices.

The West Virginia State Capitol Dome: Lessons Learned from a Failing Finish

Product Number: 41207-361-SG

Author: Elizabeth Moss

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Located on the banks of the Kanawha River surrounded by the rugged Allegheny Mountains, the gilded lead-coated copper dome of Cass Gilbert’s 1932 West Virginia State Capitol has never successfully weathered the harsh climate nor withstood the test of time. Although beautifully detailed and successful at resisting water infiltration, the dome’s appearance was problematic soon after its completion and has remained so even after four significant refinishing campaigns - in 1946, 1961, 1977 and most recently in 1988.
