(Mg Rich Primer-Powder Topcoat) Coating System for the Corrosion Protection of Al Alloys

Product Number: 51217-052-SG

Author: Junren Lin, Casey Orgon, Dante Battocchi, Gordon P. Bierwagen

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Aluminum alloys are widely used in engineering structures and components due to their light weight and excellent mechanical properties. However, the alloying elements which contribute to the good mechanical properties also make the alloy prone to localized corrosion. One of the most common and economic approaches to protect Al alloys from corrosion is to apply coatings as protective layers. For example, powder coatings and magnesium-rich primers (MgRP) are both widely used for the corrosion protection of Al alloys.

“This Ain’t Your Mothers Dehumidifier Anymore! New Advancements in Temporary Dehumidification Equipment Meets “Green” Objectives While Reducing Operating Costs

Product Number: 41211-589-SG

Author: Russ Brown, David Simkins

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

The paint and coatings industry has witnessed significant change over the past 50 years. These changes have been driven by many factors including VOC mandates, safety concerns, advanced polymers and new demands of the end users and materials. One of those changes was the introduction of desiccant dehumidification to assist in the blast and coatings process of liquid storage tanks in 1983. The ability to indefinitely hold a blast by providing a dry climate mechanically set off the beginning of a technology that would continue to advance for years to come.

“μ-Deck: Implementation of a New COF Meter for US Navy

Product Number: 41210-553-SG

Author: Wayne McGaulley, Jeffrey Duckworth, Damien Ranero

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

Existing US Navy Coefficient of Friction (CoF) meters are insensitive and cannot differentiate surfaces which have obvious differences in nonskid CoF. A new CoF meter, the m-Deck, was evaluated to determine CoF measurement effectiveness and temperature sensitivity. Both laboratory and field testing were performed over various nonskid systems at numerous temperatures. The results indicate that the m-Deck has significant temperature dependence, but also a high degree of accuracy. The collected data is used to establish acceptance criteria for newly installed nonskid.

100% Pure Polyurea Solves Serious Problem at Wastewater Treatment Plant

Product Number: 41206-252-SG

Author: Tony Ippoliti

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

During the testing of circular grit chambers in a wastewater treatment plant under construction, serious leaking problems were discovered prior to project completion. After meetings with the Owner, Design and Construction engineering firms, painting contractor and coatings manufacturer, the decision was made to apply 80 mils of pure polyurea to various concrete surfaces. This presentation, through the use of photo images taken during remediation, describes the nature of the problem and how it was solved.

100% Solids Elasatometric Polyurethane vs 100% Solids Epoxy Linings in Steel Potable Water Storage Applications

Product Number: 51219-194-SG

Author: Murray Heywood

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Epoxy linings have long been the standard generic resin type when specifiers are selecting products for lining new steel potable water tanks or rehabilitating existing steel potable water storage tanks in North America. The one exception to this rule has been the Canadian potable water storage market. In Canada many specifiers have recognized the benefits offered by 100% Solids Elastomeric Polyurethane linings for 25+ years with admirable results.

20 Year Colour Lifetimes for Architectural Restoration Coatings - Theory and Reality

Product Number: 51216-020-SG

Author: Kurt Wood, Quentin Boulay, Charles Weidner

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Highly engineered PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) based coatings have evolved over the years to meet the specific requirements of market segments. Over 50 years ago, high temperature-baked PVDF based finishes were introduced to the architectural community to protect the metal components of skyscrapers, stadiums, and other landmark structures. The multi-decade service life and extreme weatherability of these coatings is attested to by outdoor Florida exposure and demonstrated by performance on structures worldwide.

2-Component Polyurethane Topcoats - Formulating Variables Affecting Weathering Performance

Product Number: 41208-399-SG

Author: Edward P. Squiller, Kurt Best

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Weathering performance of 2-component polyurethane topcoats used in corrosion protection applications, e.g. bridges, marine, stadiums, etc., is discussed with emphasis on some key formulating variables. Variables such as isocyanate index and resin selection are compared in an accelerated weathering study using various polyurethane topcoats. The results are referenced to SSPC polyurethane coating specifications which are often used in the industry to define performance criteria.
