Outdoor tests and accelerated weathering experiments have been carried out to confirm the weathering performance of coating systems with ambient cure fluoro-polymer topcoats. The results showed that the protective performance of such coating systems was superior to other topcoats such as polyurethane coating.

This presentation - looks at the - process behind proposals, submittal practices, evaluation and value proposition of alternative protective coatings systems to conventional specified systems. Currently, there are many new coatings solutions and technologies that offer savings in time and dollars over older, though proven, technologies.
Fluoroethylene-vinyl ether (FEVE) resins were developed in the early 1980’s. These thermoset solution fluoropolymer resins are used to make highly durable, weatherable, and corrosion resistant air-dry coatings. Applications are found in architectural, industrial, automotive, and aerospace markets, and in infrastructure coatings for bridges, oil rigs, and water towers.
The use of climate control is commonly perceived as an additional cost and the energy consumed is often substantial. A closer look at the real impact can uncover economic and environmental benefits that may offset and even exceed the initial costs. These benefits include life cycle costs of the coating system, efficiencies in the project sequencing and minimizing coating and solvent waste
An economic evaluation of a project plays a significant role in determining its feasibility. Corrosion is intrinsic to the operation of metallic assets, and the costs dedicated to its prevention and/or its consequences are unavoidable. Different corrosion strategies could be developed to address the project's needs while complying with relevant codes and standards. These various corrosion control strategies are characterized by inherently different capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX). Careful analysis of the cost projections for each of the considered corrosion mitigation strategies is needed for project optimization and improvement of return on investment.
This paper provides an objective review of the life cycle costs of zinc-rich coating systems used in moderate industrial exposure environments. The coating systems include conventional inorganic/organic coatings, galvanizing, and thermal sprayed metal coatings (metallizing). Service life and installation cost data from previous studies is used to calculate the life cycle costs over a specified design life of an industrial structure.
This paper will focus on the advancement of waterborne acrylic coatings that features self-stratifying technology which significantly advances performance of color and gloss retention. Various analytical methods were used to verify stratification. Magnified cross sections of the coating film will show the layered effect and discussion of how these multiple micro-paint layers outperform standard acrylics. An overview of performance testing will be presented to demonstrate the value of this technology and how it contributes to longer lifecycle costs and lower overall project costs.
