Advances in Fluoropolymer Resins for Long-Life Coatings

Product Number: 41206-230-SG

Author: Winn Darden

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

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.

An Update and Review of Offshore Systems and Current Testing Scenarios

Product Number: 41206-266-SG

Author: Mike Mitchell

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Offshore coating systems have evolved over the past 50 years to allow for restrictions in raw material use and solvent emissions. This has meant that many tried and tested systems can no longer be used. This paper describes the industry in terms of attempts to generate suitable prequalification testing scenarios which will prevent premature failures of untried new systems

Cathodic Protection: An Integral Part of Tank Maintenance

Product Number: 41206-283-SG

Author: Rog

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Barrier and inhibitor coatings are the primary defense against steel loss in water storage tanks. However, as a coating begins to deteriorate, action is necessary to prevent steel loss in the exposed areas of the substrate. Cathodic protection systems are an economical way to address preventing metal loss on the submerged surface areas of a water storage tank and have been proven to extend the useful life of coatings for immersion service.

Characterization of the Surface Mechanical Properties of Paints and Polymeric Surface Coatings

Product Number: 41206-280-SG

Author: Nicholas X. Randall

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

The mechanical properties of polymeric coatings are often overlooked because researchers are not aware of how modern instrumentation can now aid them in understanding how a particular product may survive in service conditions. In many applications the two main considerations are aesthetics and durability, both of which can be directly related to the mechanical properties of the base material.
