Application Concerns and Practices for Applying Conductive and Static Dissipative Coating to Concrete

Product Number: 51216-007-SG

Author: Steven Schroeder

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Conductive and static dissipative floorings and coatings are designed to provide protection from electrical charges causing harm to work or products. This presentation is designed to familiarize you with the phenomenon of Static Electricity, how it is generated and its effects on industry. We will then discuss ways to alleviate or restrict problems associated with ESD by utilizing specialized conductive or static dissipative flooring and coating products. Specifically focused on the common conditions and design considerations required for a proper installation, including substrate requirements, grounding and strapping recommendations, and product selection criteria.

BPA Epoxide Inorganic/Organic Coatings with nanoCarbon Additives

Product Number: 41215-933-SG

Author: Mark D. Soucek

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Brief Background Throughout the last decades, coatings science has incorporated very versatile inorganic materials into organic coating to form the inorganic/organic hybrid coating systems. Combining various organic and inorganic constituents in combination with different preparation and processing methods, very versatile materials can be produced for optical, structural and coatings applications. The hybrid products have combined the properties of the inorganic materials, i.e., hardness, durability, and thermal stability, and organic polymers, i.e., flexibility and toughness.

How we learn from our history in the development of the next generation of linings

Product Number: MPWT19-14325

Author: Michael Harrison

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

The market for protective linings in the oil and gas sector has evolved in the last 30 years, reflecting on both increased performance demands and productivity demands. This paper will review the successes seen with tank linings and the changes seen within the market (legislative, HSE and more aggressive conditions), later, via a case study it will elaborate how these have steered R&D in the development of the next generation of high-performance linings.
Finally, the relevance of the American Petroleum Guidance (API652 and 653) to establish their continued relevance in lining selection and inspection intervals will be reviewed along with the utilization of linings to support changing demands (increased life expectancy and inspection intervals).

Improving Coating Performance by Using a Novel Polymeric Adhesion Promoter Technology

Product Number: 41216-949-SG

Author: Martin Muth, Andreas Freytag, René Nagelsdiek, Ronald Brashear

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

When coatings are applied to substrates as e.g., metal, the adhesion of the cured paint is a critical parameter for the final performance of the paint film. The adhesion of the paint to the substrate influences many properties of the paint, which including visual appearance, anticorrosive performance, flexibility, resistance against scribing and scratching, delamination, blistering and many more. Many actions can be taken to influence and improve the adhesion of a coating to a substrate.

Minimizing Health, Safety, and Environmental Challenges Associated with Traditional Blasting by Using Vapor Abrasive Blasting

Product Number: 41215-889-SG

Author: Bill Eliason

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Industries such as oil and gas, marine, cleaning and protective coatings face many changes and challenges from environmental, safety and other regulatory agencies. Most of these changes have to do with containment regulations and minimizing dust in open air blast environments. With these regulations now in place, contractors are looking for alternatives to traditional dry blasting.

New Developments in Fluorourthane Coatings for Bridges

Product Number: 41216-995-SG

Author: Robert Parker, Kristen Blankenship

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Fluorourethane coatings based on FEVE, fluoroethylene vinyl ether chemistry, have been used globally for over 30 years. This technology has a proven record of outstanding performance against exposure to the elements and has been used in applications ranging from aerospace to architectural structures. Recently, the bridge market has taken notice of this high performance, especially in harsh marine environments. Resistance to degradation by UV light is important to the longevity of a bridge structure, but it could be argued that corrosion resistance is the key performance indicator for a protective topcoat.

Novel Waterborne Technology Paves a New Roadway for Alkyds

Product Number: 41215-935-SG

Author: Jamie Dziczkowski, Alan Toman

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

As VOC regulations continue to drive coatings development, waterborne alkyds are progressively being utilized further due to their attractive environmental profile. Advancements in waterborne alkyd chemistry have provided the first waterborne biobased resin for pavement marking coatings. Through strategic selection of alkyd monomers and the appropriate balance of the emulsification aids, a shear stable alkyd latex resin that shows exceptional performance in waterborne traffic marking formulas has been developed.

Trends in Tank Lining Test Methodology for Oil and Gas Service

Product Number: 41216-972-SG

Author: David Hunter

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Changing conditions in the Oil and Gas industry are yielding greater corrosion protection challenges to the owners and operators of refineries, terminals, pipelines, railcars etc. Internal lining schemes which have traditionally been used for the storage and transport of crude oil and refined fuels may no longer be appropriate. The aggressive nature of crude oil (higher temperatures and more sour nature), high purity refined products and the increased use of biofuels globally necessitate the demand for better linings and more certain test results.
