Abrasive Selection Economics – Cost or Price?

Product Number: 51219-191-SG

Author: Brad Gooden

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The easiest way to compare abrasives is to look at the price per unit (i.e., price per ton or price per pound). If only it were that easy! Unfortunately comparing the price per unit assumes that all abrasives perform the same – and we all know that is not the case.

Cool Roofs: How and Why They Generate Energy Savings

Product Number: 41207-322-SG

Author: André O. Desjarlais, Thomas W. Petrie, William A. Miller

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

This article describes the development of a web-based “fact sheet” on radiation control for commercial low-slope roofing systems. This fact sheet includes an estimating tool or “calculator” to predict the heating and cooling loads per unit area of low-slope roof. The user of the “calculator” specifies surface radiation properties (solar reflectance and infrared emittance), insulation level, and location for the roof.

Designing Ships Water Ballast Tanks to Improve the Performance of Coatings

Product Number: 41211-619-SG

Author: D. Broderick, R. Kattan, P.N.H. Wright

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

Currently the shipbuilding industry is seeking to minimize to improve corrosion protection provided to the structures which comprise the Water Ballast Tanks (WBT’s) of a vessel. At the design stage two factors could reduce the carbon footprint of the coating process through life material selection and optimizing the structural design to facilitate the coating process and maintenance processes. Thus, the design stage exerts considerable influence on these two elements and can determine the through life costs and environmental penalties of maintaining the structure.

Mesh Free Epoxy Passive Fire Protection - The Challenge: Advancements in Intumescent Epoxy Rapid Rise Passive Fire Protection Reduced Labor and Installation Costs

Product Number: 41214-867-SG

Author: Gordon Walker

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Since the inception of Epoxy Passive Fire Protection (EPFP), the industry has depended upon systems that require mesh reinforcement. The addition of this mesh adds at least $3.72 USD/sq. ft. to the applied systems. To avoid any risk of failure when exposed to fire reinforcement mesh must be correctly installed in accordance with the product’s certification and type approvals.
