Accuracy and Linearity of Sling and Digital Psychrometers

Product Number: 41207-367-SG

Author: Phillip K. Parson, Tom Swan

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Ambient conditions can be critical to the success or failure of a coatings project. It has generally been assumed by the industry that a sling psychrometer is more accurate in determining Relative Humidity and Dew Point than electronic sensors.

Activated Zinc Technology; Making Zinc-Rich Epoxies Work Better for the Applicator and the Owner

Product Number: 41216-985-SG

Author: James McDonald, Pablo L. Bernad

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Inorganic zinc-rich coatings (IOZ’s) are often considered the gold standard for corrosion protection in atmospheric environments. Frequently, zinc epoxy coatings are considered second best among the most effective coatings for corrosion protection. However, current zinc-rich coating technology is not exempt of limitations, such as poor mechanical properties of the film, rigid environmental application conditions, or the inefficient use of zinc particles for providing galvanic protection. Due to these limitations, a number of asset owners have made the decision not to use zinc-rich coatings to maintain coating systems in marine and offshore environments

Additives for Environmentally Friendly Coatings

Product Number: 41210-534-SG

Author: John W. Du

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

As environmentally friendly coatings, inks, and adhesive systems have evolved; additives have also evolved in chemistry, structure and effectiveness. This overview strives to present these new additive technologies in three areas: surfactants, dispersants, and defoamers. The chemical nature of these additives and subsequent performance in a variety of systems will be described.

ADHESION TESTING How much is sufficient?

Product Number: 51218-161-SG

Author: Dr. Daniel Totev

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Pull-off adhesion testing of coatings is commonly used for product testing and qualification as well as quality control / quality assurance. However, initial adhesion values do not necessarily correlate with service life of coatings or their corrosion protection performance. Adhesion of several product chemistries to steel is examined in this study before and after immersion exposure. Results are presented within the context of laboratory corrosion testing in an effort to investigate the significance of adhesion testing in modern lining systems.

Adhesion Failure Mode Analysis: Cyclic Peel Testing in Synthetic Sea Water

Product Number: 41209-482-SG

Author: Ray Holden

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

In this paper, I will discuss such an example of when the predicted service of the coating determines that a more dynamic method must be utilized. I will discuss testing that was conducted for immersion service where flow of water over the surface was a major consideration. The question of how well the adhesion would hold up in real life service could not be properly answered by the degree of failure in this case. I discovered that the more important consideration was the survivability of the coating if a defect were introduced.

Adhesion Measurements of Coatings on Cylindrical Steel Pipes: Variability & Significance

Product Number: 41214-815-SG

Author: S. G. Croll, B. D. Keil

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Quality assurance of coatings on steel water pipes commonly relies on tensile pull-off measurements of the coating-steel adhesion, according to ASTM D4541. These tests are performed by adhering a metal ‘dolly’ to the coating with an adhesive, then scoring around the dolly circumference, through the coating down to the steel surface, before recording the stress necessary to pull the dolly (and coating) away from the steel pipe.

Adhesion Tests and Failure Modes Study on Structural Steel Coatings

Product Number: 41213-771-SG

Author: Wei Zheng, John J. Myers

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Pull-off adhesion behaviors of 15 coating systems in three groups were studied utilizing test method ASTM D4541. Three groups of coating systems included coating systems with organic or inorganic zinc-rich primers, polymeric polyurea coatings, and overcoating systems applied on an existing coating system.

Advanced Corrosion Assessment Techniques Used to Prioritize Maintenance of NASA Wind Tunnels

Product Number: 51219-185-SG

Author: Robert A. Ernsting, Adam Beers, David E. Shinn, Thomas E. Hegland, Peter M. Pachlhofer

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

This paper discusses an innovative technique employed on the 2017 AETC Corrosion Control Study conducted on 19 NASA wind tunnel facilities located at three NASA Centers: Langley, Ames and Glenn Research Centers. The technique adds structural and prioritization context to corrosion and coating assessments which yields an Overall Risk Priority (ORP) score for each inspection item.

Advanced Technology in Field Applied Thermoplastics for Corrosion: Protection Superior to Thermoset Coating Systems

Product Number: 41205-195-SG

Author: Thomas G. Priest

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

The control, mitigation and prevention of corrosion in environments ranging from mildly corrosive to severe atmospheric conditions to underground exposures (such as pipelines) to chemical spill and fume exposures has long been focused on the use of thermosetting polymers such as epoxies, polyesters, vinyl esters and urethanes. For the most part these materials have worked reasonably well in applications such as structural steel and equipment coatings, architectural paints, vessel linings, concrete coatings, secondary containment linings, and floor toppings.

Advances in Green Cementitious Coatings

Product Number: 51218-142-SG

Author: Rex Revard

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

The demands of cementitious coatings and repair mortars have never been greater. As manufacturers, contractors, and coatings inspectors we are tasked with providing high performance solutions for new projects, or to breathe life back into failing concrete or steel. With new cement technologies, we can meet and exceed our customers’ environmental and financial expectations.

Advances in Fluoropolymer Resins for Long Life Coatings

Product Number: 41210-532-SG

Author: Winn Darden, Bob Parker

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

Fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) resins were developed to overcome some of the problems associated with the use of fluoropolymers in coatings. These resins, which yield topcoats with lifetimes exceeding 60 years, can be cured at ambient temperatures for field applications, or at elevated temperatures in the shop. New FEVE resins have been developed to enable formulators to meet air quality regulations while still producing coatings with excellent durability.

Advances in Fluoropolymer Resins for Long-Life Coatings

Product Number: 41206-230-SG

Author: Winn Darden

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Fluoroethylene-vinyl ether (FEVE) resins were developed in the early 1980’s. These thermoset solution fluoropolymer resins are used to make highly durable, weatherable, and corrosion resistant air-dry coatings. Applications are found in architectural, industrial, automotive, and aerospace markets, and in infrastructure coatings for bridges, oil rigs, and water towers.
