Estimating Color Fade of PVDF-Based Topcoats for ‘Bright Color’ Architectural Restoration and Protective Coating Applications

Product Number: 51217-082-SG

Author: Kurt Wood

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Many common topcoat standards used for architectural and protective coating applications (e.g., MPI 311, SSPC-Paint 36) include a durability requirement based on the accelerated weathering performance of a white coating. However, there are currently no standards for field-applied coatings which address the needs of specifiers who want to ensure durable color performance in high chroma (saturated, or bright) colors, e.g., Safety Red.

Evaluating Coatings for Immersion Service via Electrochemical Activity

Product Number: 41215-890-SG

Author: James A. Ellor, Patrick Cassidy

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Industry constantly seeks improved methods to evaluate protective coatings. In immersion service, protective coatings act to reduce electrochemical activity at the metal/coating interface. Tracking this activity via the use of segmented panel testing appears to offer additional insight into coating performance that may aid in coating design and predicting longer-term performance.

Evaluating Hull Coatings for Precise Impact on Vessel Performance

Product Number: 41206-269-SG

Author: Torben Munk

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Focusing on the invention of new measurement methods in order to analyze hull coating efficiency more precisely is one approach. However, it is possible to treat performance data from in-situ observations carried out at specified intervals onboard any vessel (over 10,000 dwt) by means of a data collection protocol.

Evaluation of Coatings and Linings for Wastewater Environments

Product Number: 41207-362-SG

Author: Robert Murphy

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Many challenges face today's coatings specifiers in selecting high performance coatings and linings. New formulations are being developed to meet changing performance needs and also future VOC requirements. Evaluation of these "new" coatings and linings can be difficult. It is the purpose of this paper to look at past, current and future coating evaluation methods in order to develop a testing protocol that can be used to assist in the selection of high performance coatings and linings for wastewater environments.

Evaluation of Polysiloxanes as Green Alternatives to Solution Vinyl Coatings

Product Number: 51220-287-SG

Author: Allen Skaja, Carter Gulsvig, Stephanie O. Prochaska, Bobbi Jo E. Merten, Grace Scarim, Izabella Mastroianni

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Solution vinyl resin coatings are an effective coating system that have been used on raw water hydraulic steel structures since the 1940’s, including many of the nation’s hydroelectric and lock and dam facilities. The high performance of the vinyl coating is at the cost of releasing high amounts of volatile organic compounds into the air. This study evaluates polysiloxane coating systems as greener alternatives to solution vinyl systems.

Exploring The Truth About Aluminium Flakes As Pigments In Corrosion Protective Coatings

Product Number: 51322-18194-SG

Author: Andreas Løken, Magne Kringberg, Anders W. B. Skilbred, Torstein Lædre

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The success of corrosion protective coating systems relies, to a great extent, on the coatings’ inherent barrier properties. This barrier property signifies the coating’s ability to withstand the permeation of sea water and oxygen, thus minimizing corrosion of the underlying metal. While various additives or pigments can promote the barrier property of coatings, one of the most common pigments is aluminum flakes [1-4].The idea behind their use is simple, and essentially relies on having the aluminum flakes in the coating oriented parallel to the underlying substrate. With them in place, the pathways for sea water and oxygen effectively increase, thus preventing the progression of corrosion. However, while having been employed in numerous coating formulations for many years, the evidence for the success of aluminum flakes as barrier pigments is still lacking.

FEVE Fluoropolymer Coatings for High Performance Waterbased Applications

Product Number: 51217-028-SG

Author: Kristen Blankenship

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Performance, cost, and safety drive the coatings industry. Safer and environmentally friendly coatings continue to be a hot topic of discussion globally; however, the adoption of greener coating technologies is slow, especially in the US. This could be attributed to many factors, but from the formulator's perspective, performance is key. Waterborne coatings have been used in architectural applications for decades, but typically these coatings are valued mostly for aesthetics, ease of use, and low cost.
