Selection of Coating Systems for Concrete in the Water & Wastewater Environment

Product Number: 41206-231-SG

Author: Roger Decker

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Concrete is inherently durable – nevertheless, deterioration occurs when subjected to weathering or aggressive environments. For many years, coatings have been applied for aesthetic purposes. In the water and wastewater environment concrete is protected primarily for structural purposes. The increasing use of steel reinforced concrete in modern day construction has led to a growing demand for concrete being structurally protected in all types of industry.

Sewer Safety for Coating Contractors

Product Number: 41206-291-SG

Author: Stephen M. Wierzchowski

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

As wastewater treatment processes have improved and collection systems are tightened to prevent infiltration, the corrosive nature of the wastewater environment has dramatically increased.

Single Coat Paint System Research

Product Number: 41206-256-SG

Author: Eric S. Kline, William D. Corbett

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Corrosion on steel bridges has long been recognized as a major concern. Over the years, technology has advanced from lead-based paints used for a century to three-coat systems. Recently, two-coat systems have been developed and are gaining acceptance. Research which is now underway to develop a one-coat system is described in this paper.

Spherical Tank External Coating Simplified Strong Teamwork

Product Number: 41206-255-SG

Author: Robert G. Johnson

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

The goal of this presentation is to highlight the teamwork exhibited by a quality driven facility owner who led an outsourced contract team consisting of pre-qualified contractors, material suppliers, and certified technical service specialists as independent third-party inspectors, to provide external protective coatings to a set of six spherical tanks encompassing approximately 100,000 s.f. each.

Steel Bridge Shop Painting Issues and Answers: The FDOT Experience

Product Number: 41206-289-SG

Author: Steve Duke, Linda Houk, Ernst Toussaint, Douglas Reardon, William Wallhausser

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) spends over $50 million in steel bridge fabrication and shop painting annually. According to a recent Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored study by Appleman, approximately 7% of the cost of a steel bridge is budgeted for blast cleaning and primer application in most shops. FDOT knows that proper surface preparation and primer application are the best ways to assure long-term corrosion protection.

Straining at a Gnat and Swallowing a Camel: Safety and Performance Issues with Two - Part Urethane Finish Coats

Product Number: 41206-272-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, Ron Garrett, V.J. Datta

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

An escalating amount of negative press on the tried-and-true polyurethane finish coats has arisen due to concerns with their free-isocyanate content. This paper explores performance aspects of polyurethanes with respect to their UV resistance properties, and safety issues associated with polyurethanes as a function of their precursor isocyanate molecules.

Surface Tolerant Epoxy Coating Application on Marine Surfaces in High Humidity and Wet Environments

Product Number: 41206-220-SG

Author: Earl Bowry

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Coating application on the exterior of ocean-going vessels and offshore platforms is normally very time sensitive, and frequently must be performed during times of high humidity, sweating hulls and daily rain showers. This paper will describe the use of solvent free, surface tolerant epoxies that can be applied to wet surfaces during times of very high relative humidity. Both the positive and negative aspects will be covered.

Technical Paper: Petroleum-Based Corrosion Inhibitor

Product Number: 41206-268-SG

Author: James R. Mott

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

The effects of corrosion are wide-spread and widely known. From construction to transportation and everything in between corrosion is a result of environmental effects on the metals we use to build. Corrosion may be controlled, however, through the use of inhibitors as an on-going treatment in order to effectively stall the act of corrosion.

The Effect of Peak Count or Surface Roughness on Coating Performance

Product Number: 41206-284-SG

Author: Hugh J. Roper, Raymond E.F. Weaver, Joseph H. Brandon

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Putting a long-held assumption about surface profile to the test, the authors show this: profile peak count can be measured, it can be controlled, and it does make a difference in coating performance.

The Four “W’s” of Dehumidification; Why, What, When, and Where

Product Number: 41206-233-SG

Author: Tom Dillon

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

This presentation compares the operation, features, benefits and costs associated with different types of dehumidification equipment, including the newer mechanical type, in order to provide the audience with a better understanding of seasonal equipment selection.

The Performance of Waterborne Acrylic Coatings in an Accelerated Testing Protocol

Product Number: 41206-226-SG

Author: Colleen Campbell, Leo J. Procopio

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Traditionally, a zinc-rich primer, epoxy midcoat and polyurethane topcoat have been the standard 3-coat solvent borne system used for coating structural steel, such as in the maintenance of bridges. This study describes the performance of waterborne acrylic coating systems in an accelerated testing protocol including corrosion resistance and cyclic weathering. A comparison of systems based solely on waterborne acrylic coatings, as well as hybrid systems (e.g., zinc rich primer with waterborne topcoats), to the industry standard will be discussed.

The Truth About TG - The Measurement and Significance of the Glass Transition Temperature

Product Number: 41206-290-SG

Author: Dwight G. Weldon

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

The glass transition temperature (Tg) is an important property, as it is a reflection of both the type of resins in a coating and its degree of cure. This paper discusses what Tg is, the measurement of Tg, and its relationship to coating performance. Data is presented which indicates that the performance of a coating may depend on the conditions under which it is cured, such that the exact same coating may perform differently depending on the region of the country in which it is used and the time of year in which it is applied.
