The European regulation known as REACH has completely revamped the way U.S. companies export into the European market. On June 1, 2007 the REACH legislation was accepted into law and is applicable to 27 EU members and 3 non-EU members. In order for the U.S. to be able to sell protective coatings to these countries the companies must comply with the REACH legislation.
The European regulation known as REACH has completely revamped the way U.S. companies export into the European market. On June 1, 2007 the REACH legislation was accepted into law and is applicable to 27 EU members and 3 non-EU members. In order for the U.S. to be able to sell protective coatings to these countries the companies must comply with the REACH legislation. REACH stands for: Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of CHemical substances. The legislation has developed an 11-year phase-in for compliance.
This paper will focus on how REACH affects U.S. companies in regard to:
• Restriction on chemicals
• Hazardous and non-hazardous classification, labeling and packaging
• SDS standardized format
It is fair to say that maintenance in the worldwide oil and gas industry has changed dramatically over the past ten years. Facility owners are more than ever looking to reduce shutdown times, to improve plant efficiency and to extend plant lifetimes. With this comes the increased industry understanding about corrosion under insulation (CUI) with its deleterious impact and the ongoing desire for pragmatic high performance and cost-effective coating solutions.

Zinc rich coatings have long been used in the protective coatings industry as one of the primary means of steel substrate protection against corrosion. The primary protection mechanism has historically been galvanic sacrificial loss of zinc metal and the simultaneous formation of protective zinc oxides and salts. Various standards and customer specifications exist to ensure that the coating will provide the necessary corrosion protection for the life of the asset.
When protective coatings are to be applied to structures, it is important that the surface is clean and dry if premature failure of the coating is to be prevented and the full coating service life achieved. In many situations for both new build and repair of structures, blast cleaning of the surface is required to remove contamination and to create an anchor pattern to enhance the adhesion of the coating system to the substrate.
