This paper introduces the available technology of chemical coating removal as an alternative to mechanical coating removal by comparing and contrasting the advantages and disadvantages of each chemical coating removal technology. Due to the high cost and environmental drawbacks of mechanical methods of coating removal, chemical coating removal systems have advanced as a cost effective and environmentally friendly way to remove coatings that are highly cost effective on a per square foot basis cost comparison. The presentation will discuss all chemical coating removal technology, features and benefits.
PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT: • Explain the history of South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 1113 – Architectural Coatings and the process that SCAQMD goes through to lower Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in architectural coatings. • Report on progress toward achieving low-VOC products with respect to the coating categories subject to Rule 1113 limits. • Report on progress on Reactivity and Availability assessment of solvents found in architectural coatings.
We have seen a number of concrete floor finish failures caused by moisture attack from the concrete substrate. In many instances, moisture tests were conducted prior to installing the floor covering/finish to assess the moisture content of the concrete substrate. The results of the tests suggested the concrete was dry enough to install the flooring, but failure was induced by moisture in the floor assemble.
Today’s water-based intumescent coatings provide improved fire resistance, allowing architectural exposed structural steel (AESS) to be featured prominently. This article examines the environmental/health benefits of water-based coatings over traditional, solvent-based coatings, and provides recommendations on how to apply these materials in a safe and attractive manner and ensure long-term performance.
As the building design, construction, and enforcement communities become increasingly aware of the connections between air infiltration, energy efficiency, and general performance, the concept of the “continuous air barrier” is making its way into buildings. One reflection of this is seen in proposals to require air barriers in the national model building energy codes.
New and upcoming VOC regulations are changing the high performance coatings industry. Some products are being eliminated; others are modified all while new technologies are emerging. This paper will use South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) regulations as the basis for discussion.
Regardless of the sophistication of the laboratory, the ability to determine the cause of a coating failure can depend on the type and quality of the samples. This paper discusses the type of samples needed and gives suggestions on how to obtain them.
Widespread media coverage has made mold a concern for everyone from home and business owners to those in building construction. This presentation explains the facts and fiction of mold ― what it is, where it grows best and how to control it. The benefits of antimicrobial coatings are also explained.
This paper will discuss common coating failures seen in water storage tanks and discuss how these failures can be addressed by the use of OAP coatings designed for potable water service.
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.
