Seven Ways Plural-Component Spraying Equipement Provides Savings and Improves Performance

Seven Ways Plural-Component Spraying Equipement Provides Savings and Improves Performance
Available for download

Plural-component coatings have historically presented numerous challenges for contractors, with significant material, time, and labor costs tied to mixing two or more components prior to application. After the components are mixed, logistics issues can also arise, with limited time available to apply the coating.

Plural-component coatings have historically presented numerous challenges for contractors, with significant material, time, and labor costs tied to mixing two or more components prior to application. After the components are mixed, logistics issues can also arise, with limited time available to apply the coating.  By switching from hand mixing (or "hot potting") two-component materials to spraying them with plural-component equipment, contractors can significantly reduce costs and improve performance. Manual processes can be automated with plural-component equipment, and electronic monitoring tools help contractors apply the materials more uniformly. Plural-component sprayings can provide benefits in seven distinct ways: 1) material savings; 2) solvent savings; 3) labor savings; 4) time savings; 5) ratio assurance; 6) higher performance; and 7) reduced rework.

Self-Healing Microcapsule-Thickened Oil Barrier Coatings

Low-viscosity oils could potentially act as self-healing barrier coatings because they can readily flow and reconnect to heal minor damage. For the same reason, however, they typically do not form stable coatings on metal surfaces. Increasing viscosity helps to stabilize the oil coating, but it also slows down the healing process. Here, we report a strategy for creating highly stable oil coatings on metal surfaces without sacrificing their remarkable self-healing properties.

With more stringent silica regulations being enforced, wet abrasive blasting is becoming more prevalent in the industry. We investigated the viability of wet abrasive blasting as compared to the more commonly used dry abrasive blast. One added benefit of wet abrasive blasting is the removal of soluble salts in addition to providing the specified profile.

Surface preparation techniques have evolved with the acceptance of UHP waterjetting (UHP WJ). The new technique has proven to provide benefits in not only workflow, but also in the overall project’s pocketbook as well. With quality requirements rising and budgets for maintenance activities decreasing, UHP WJ has become the ideal surface preparation solution.
