HOW A COMBINATION OF A POLYMER AND PVC FILM CAN PROVIDE COMPLETE GREEN COATING SOLUTIONS?

Product Number: 51218-109-SG

Author: Thomas Fink

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Vegetal polymers are today a cost effective solution for complex metallic geometry parts (bolts, flanges, valves, etc…), PVC vinyl film became the same for flat and semi flat shapes (bulkheads, tank walls, pipes, etc…). These methods do not require costly surface preparation such as SSPCSP10, just cleaning per SSPC-SP2. Together it leads complete and long longevity if compared to most of conventional painting procedures, generating both performance and economic benefits.

How Specific is Your Coating Specification?

Product Number: 51220-236-SG

Author: S. G. Croll, C. Gu, V. Upadhyay, B. D. Keil

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

For a coatings project to become a Successful Coatings Project, the coatings specification should be clear and concise to be useful to the intended audience. The contractor, the owner and any other parties should be able to find and understand key elements such as the scope, surface preparation (including the appropriate standards) and the specified coating or lining system with the approved alternates.

How to Write a Good Process Control Procedure

Product Number: 41212-709-SG

Author: Richard L. Smith

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

In the past, the present and undoubtedly in the future, coating specifications will be written and included in bid packages that will end up on your desk, mine and our fellow colleagues. Often these specifications are poorly written, boiler plated or haphazardly thrown together to hopefully provide us with enough information to successfully win and complete a given contract.

Ice and Snow, Away We Go! Painting Ships In Cold Winter Conditions

Product Number: 41210-537-SG

Author: S. Mark Edmonds

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

November to March is a beautiful time of the year in the wintry climate of the United States and Canada. People participate in all kinds of wintertime activities. It is also the time owners of marine vessels working on the Great Lakes use to do repairs and maintenance, including painting. Although the weather during this time poses many challenges, necessity has been the mother of invention in coming up with equipment and products to meet this challenge.

Implementing Basic Statistical Process Control in Contractor Painting Programs to Improve Quality and Maximize Profit

Product Number: 41207-365-SG

Author: Phillip K. Parson, J. Peter Ault

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Statistical Process Control (SPC) has been implemented as a key component of Total Quality Initiatives with great success in every major industry worldwide. SPC is not commonplace in the industrial and commercial coatings application business. This paper introduces the audience to SPC and provides an example of it’s application in industrial coating surface preparation.

Improvement of Blasting Productivity by Optimizing Blasting-Related Operation Parameters

Product Number: 41207-303-SG

Author: Han-Jin Bae, Jae-Jin Baek, Chae-Suk Lee, Chil-Seok Shin, Byung-Hun Lee, Sang-Ryong Shin, Kwang-Ki Baek, Ki-Soo Kim

As a means of surface preparation for protective coatings, abrasive blasting provides proper surface roughness and increases the surface area, which are critical in achieving physical and chemical adhesion between steel surface and organic coatings. For application of high-performance coating in a new shipbuilding, the abrasive blasting cleaning is widely favored primarily because of its economic and performance benefits. The abrasive blasting, however, also requires the significant amount of labor hour, whereas its efficiency mainly depends on the blaster’s skill.

Improving Coating Performance by Using a Novel Polymeric Adhesion Promoter Technology

Product Number: 41216-949-SG

Author: Martin Muth, Andreas Freytag, René Nagelsdiek, Ronald Brashear

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

When coatings are applied to substrates as e.g., metal, the adhesion of the cured paint is a critical parameter for the final performance of the paint film. The adhesion of the paint to the substrate influences many properties of the paint, which including visual appearance, anticorrosive performance, flexibility, resistance against scribing and scratching, delamination, blistering and many more. Many actions can be taken to influence and improve the adhesion of a coating to a substrate.

Industrial Protective Coating Tradeoffs: Understanding Why Industrial Coatings can be Complicated

Product Number: 41214-806-SG

Author: J. Peter Ault

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Industrial protective coatings can be surprisingly complicated for the inexperienced user or specifier. For example, when fabricating complex structures, the simple question of when during fabrication to paint can have an array of interesting cost and performance implications. Other issues include tradeoffs associated with degree of surface preparation and inspection for coating coverage. The paper will explore some of the reasons why they can be complicated in the context of four issues that can impact an industrial protective coatings project.

Insights into the Consideration and Selection of Viscoelastic Materials for Potential Use in Field Patch Application

Product Number: 51220-294-SG

Author: Haralampos Tsaprailis, Jiajun (Jeff) Liang, Shan (Sherry) Rao

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

The intention of the study is to explore potential field maintenance products with service temperature ranges of 0 to 65°C for patch application, including patch repairing and to provide corrosion protection for irregularly shaped components, such as fittings and electrical connection to pipe (e.g., cadweld). Viscoelastic materials were selected as potential candidates due to their inherent features of cold-flow capability, low water permeability, easy application (by hand and directly applied to surface), and compatibility with a variety of existing pipeline coatings.
