Corrosion can seriously damage the substrate and can lead to significant repair or replacement costs. Good corrosion protection for metal coatings is traditionally achieved through two component (2K) systems. However, they show certain disadvantages that do not exist for one component (1K) systems.

Often when a polymer coating failure occurs, the concrete quality and integrity are questioned. Core samples removed from the concrete slab are examined using petrographic techniques to help determine the cause of the coating failure. The basics of the petrographic examination, the equipment used and what information it can provide are presented.
Cool coatings can play an important role in reducing global energy consumption and increasing interior comfort. They do this by minimizing solar absorption on a surface whilst maximizing thermal emission. Used in this way, a cool coating is able to reduce the flow of heat from the exterior coated surface into the building, resulting in lower internal temperatures.
The City Public Service Board of San Antonio, Texas (CPS Energy) is the largest municipally owned gas and electric utility company in the nation. CPS Energy owns a fleet of power generation plants with a combined output of over 4,500 MW. In 2011, CPS initiated an Asset Corrosion-Protection Program for its power generating facilities to proactively protect its assets from coating degradation and premature corrosion.
As an island nation, Japan is particularly dependent on the good health of its bridges to connect its different regions for commercial activities. In order to reduce maintenance cost and downtime for bridges, Japanese road authorities have looked to the use of longer lasting premium materials of construction.
The Brooklyn Bridge is a daily transportation lifeline for more than 200,000 people. It is one of the oldest and most recognizable bridges in the US and was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it opened in 1883. The Bridge has been designated both a National and New York City Landmark.
Exterior decorative aerospace livery coatings are designed to be resistant to UV degradation as well as inert to a variety of aggressive solvents and airplane fluids to ensure adequate protection of the airframe. These coatings are also used to project a commercial airline’s identity using multiple overlapping colors in complex designs
It was requested that exposure testing be completed on various high durability coatings products to evaluate gloss retention and color changes. Various systems were chosen to test, some with clear coats and some without. They were placed in cyclic UV/condensation testing, concentrated natural sunlight testing in Arizona, and outdoor exposure testing in South Florida.
One of the greatest problems facing the flooring industry is moisture vapor emission associated with concrete floors. Coatings blister and peel, wood flooring warps and buckles, adhesives fail to perform and carpet grows mold costing millions of dollars in claims, repairs and serviceability issues. This paper will discuss the causes, evaluation and mitigation methods to address this issue.
As the technology of dehumidification has developed over the last 25 years, the air conditioner has always played an active role, right along with its sister, the desiccant dehumidifier. The benefits of a refrigeration-based dehumidifier are both obvious and obscure.
Corrosion is one of the leading maintenance costs across the United States Surface Navy, with approximately 25 cents of every dollar spent on maintenance going towards fighting or correcting corrosion. In addition to the huge financial burden, corrosion can limit the ability of our Navy’s ships to meet operational commitments and even prevent them from achieving their expected service life (ESL).
