51317--9513-Monitoring Pitting Corrosion Growth in Steel Rebar Using Optical Fiber

Product Number: 51317--9513-SG

ISBN: 9513 2017 CP

Author: Fujian Tang

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

An optical fiber corrosion sensor is developed to monitor the penetration of corrosion pits in steel bars. Simply made by encasing one end of an optical fiber into a steel straw. As corrosion penetrates the steel straw wall, the solution and corrosion products fill inside and contaminate the fiber end surface, resulting in a change in the reflectivity.

Appearance Technology for Coatings

Product Number: 41210-566-SG

Author: Paul Vinik, Frank D. Rea

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

The appearance a coating provides can sometimes be just as important as is protective properties. Ever-growing budget concerns have increased the demand for coatings that provide a longer lasting aesthetic finish. This paper will explain the basic terminology, testing procedures, analytical instruments and specification development for coating color, gloss, reflectivity and other appearance parameters. The appearance characteristics of various coatings will also be discussed.

Complex Inorganic Colored Pigments and IR Reflective Pigments for Waterborne Coatings

Product Number: 51217-080-SG

Author: David White

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

As we continue to move towards a solvent free society and further into waterborne there are 2 classes of pigments that are more important than ever. Complex inorganic pigments and IR reflective pigments offer outstanding properties. The IR reflective pigments reduce the thermo binder degradation therefore giving the waterborne resins longer durability.

Cool Parking Deck Coatings

Product Number: 41210-530-SG

Author: Dale Campbell

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

With the environmental push toward "Green" coatings; parking decks can also get in on the act by more than just having low VOC's. The presentation will discuss the use and benefits of IR reflecting (cool) pigments in parking deck topcoats.

Looking Past the Re lection: Conservation of Energy through Insulation Coatings

Product Number: 41214-824-SG

Author: David A. Hunter

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Due to the threat of Global warming, and the steady increase of the cost of energy, particularly electricity, so called "Cool Roof Coatings" or CRC’s, have received a lot of high-profile press in industry magazines due to their ability to drop surface temperature of roof structures during the summer months.

Low Solar Absorbing Epoxy Marine Decking Systems

Product Number: 41215-941-SG

Author: Jing Zeng, David Robinson

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Low solar absorbing (LSA) attributes are important for marine decking materials. Reduced solar heat absorption can not only improve the condition of living and working spaces beneath any deck, but also help protecting electronics and equipment. This article will review current LSA technologies and present a study on how to improve the solar reflectance and weather resistance of epoxy marine decking.

Measuring the Performance of Cool-Roof Coatings

Product Number: 41209-491-SG

Author: Richard Lee

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

The Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) is a non-profit organization, which maintains a rating program for roofing materials. The CRRC also addresses many current technical and regulatory issues involving cool roofs and continues to provide an independent third-party ratings system in an arena that is continually evolving. The CRRC/RCMA (Roof Coatings Manufacturers Association) substrate study, initiated in 2008, is an example of an investigation designed to address an important technical issue. This study aims to evaluate the influence of roof substrates on reflectance and emittance properties of cool-roof coatings, in the field over a three-year period.

Method for Measuring Energy Savings on Highly Reflective Coatings

Product Number: 41215-886-SG

Author: Francisco Cortes, Pablo Aragón

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Real energy savings data for residential buildings is scarce and difficult to find. To address this concern, two identical houses were built in the outskirts of Monterrey, Mexico, where summer temperatures are usually very high (˜113°F). Energy consumptions using different waterproof coatings with different values of solar reflectance were evaluated.

The Next Step in Solar Reflectance Testing for Roofing Products

Product Number: 41213-763-SG

Author: Matthew Lendzinski, Joseph Rokowski

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

When it comes to roofing, after the expected service life of individual products, the most common attribute that is used to describe the performance is often the solar reflectivity. Solar reflectivity is the percentage of solar energy that is reflected from the roof surface instead of being absorbed into the roof and building as a whole.
