Benefits Exhibited by Styrene Free Coating Technology

Product Number: 41216-961-SG

Author: Razi Anwer, Mike Durbin

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Styrenated Unsaturated Polyester & Vinyl Ester coatings are accepted for use in chemical immersion tank linings. The primary advantage is the increased chemical resistance to harsh commodities and fast turnaround time compared to epoxy coatings. However, styrene is becoming heavily regulated due to its safety and health concerns.

Effect of Surface Preparation of Coating Performance

Product Number: 41216-953-SG

Author: Patrick Cassidy

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Coating performance and longevity is highly dependent on the quality of substrate surface preparation. The effect of profile height, profile type (e.g., type of tool used to perform the prep, angularity of profile, etc.), extent of cleanliness, and amount of chloride contamination on coating performance were all studied to determine the correlation between these factors in an attempt to identify the primary factor in coating failure due to improper surface preparation.

Inspection, Touch Up, & Repair of Hot-Dip Galvanizing

Product Number: 51219-221-SG

Author: Kenneth Tator

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Hot-dip galvanizing is one of the most economical, maintenance-free corrosion protection systems available. Like any other manufacturing process, hot-dip galvanized steel requires an inspection of the finished product to ensure compliance with applicable specifications. In this presentation, we will discuss the inspection process completed at galvanizing facilities prior to final shipment.

Motivating Green Paints in Middle East Challenges

Product Number: 41214-853-SG

Author: Nawras A. Rimawi

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported a 20-40% increased risk of certain types of cancer, lung cancer in particular, for those who come into regular contact with, or work with paint. This paper will give a highlight on the challenges that are facing the adoption of green paints in a variety of applications and the current status for that including paint formulations, supply chain, and community education.

Performance of Autonomous Aerial Robotics for Dry Film Thickness Measurement

Product Number: 51219-177-SG

Author: Jamie L. Branch

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Aerial robotics is an emerging technology for coatings and non-destructive testing (NDT). Performing coating inspection measurements, such as dry film thickness (DFT), using aerial robotic systems improves occupational safety and reduces injuries and deaths attributed to falls. This is done by allowing measurements to be taken with the worker safely on the ground. As the industry advances towards adopting drones/aerial robots as tools for inspection practices, it is critical to evaluate the associated performance and limitations

Performance Test Results of New Artificial Non-Metallic Abrasive

Product Number: MPWT19-14265

Author: Sangki Chi, Ebad ul Haque, Shaj K. Manjalivalapil

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

Abrasive material forms a major component for surface preparation in coating applications. Since blastin
g method developed in 1890s, abrasive materials and its application methods also significantly improve
d to enhance blasting efficiency. In general, steel grit and shot ball are being used predominantly as me
tallic abrasives. Garnet and coal slag are used as non-metallic abrasives. Each abrasive is selected and
applied in accordance with the work location and substrate material of structures to be coated. In this st
udy, we have evaluated a new artificial non-metallic abrasive (ferrochrome slag) which is a by-product fr
om ferrochrome production process for stainless steel. This evaluation also included the checking of sur
face cleanliness performance and coating quality based on international test methods and field trials. Fo
r verifying the cleanliness quality, various tests were conducted as per international standards (ISO 850
1-8503). Sea water immersion test (ISO 2812-2) and cyclic test (ISO 12944-9) were carried out to check
coating performance after blasting. The field test results indicates that all inspection and quality criteria o
f surface preparation were met as per international standards. Furthermore, coating performance test re
sults also showed this abrasive does not have any adverse effect on coating properties.

Put Down that Blast Nozzle! How to select and optimize wet or vapor abrasive blasting equipment

Product Number: 51218-114-SG

Author: Wade Hannon

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Vapor/wet blasting is proving to be an attractive method for surface preparation of steel, concrete, wood and other substrates. By using just enough media and water to suppress dust and achieve the desired production rates, Vapor Abrasive® blasting avoids the dusty side effects of dry blasting and the messy runoff generated by wet blasting. To achieve optimal results in Vapor Abrasive® blasting, the system must be properly matched for the job at hand.
