The Evolution of Waterborn Acrylic Protective Coatings

The Evolution of Waterborn Acrylic Protective Coatings
Available for download

Protective coatings based on waterborne acrylic technology have been used in the design, construction and maintenance of commercial and industrial structures for over four decades, and the types of applications where they are used, their formulation, and performance have evolved during that time period.  Driven by the ability to meet environmental regulations, their ease of use, and improvements in performance, the utilization of waterborne acrylics has also grown over the years.

The Correlation of Appearances of Appearances of Changes and Long term Corrosion Protection for Aromatic Polyurethane Coatings Used on Steel Water Pipes

Product Number: 51220-237-SG
Author: S. G. Croll, C. Gu, V. Upadhyay, B. D. Keil
Publication Date: 2020
$20.00

Aromatic polyurethane coatings are often used in the protection of steel water pipelines from corrosion. Unfortunately, pipeline sections may be stored above ground for many months before installation so the coatings yellow, lose gloss and can chalk. This deterioration in appearance naturally creates doubt about the corrosion protective qualities of the coatings.

The intent of this presentation will be to briefly analyze the evolution of the steel surface preparation market by focusing on three common methods for steel surface preparation used today (i.e., dry abrasive blasting, wet abrasive blasting and ultra-high-pressure blasting (UHP)) and the effects of water and additives on cleanliness, degree of surface preparation, coating integrity and coating adhesion. This presentation will include test results comparing the effects and results of different forms of surface preparation and the resulting coating application characteristics.

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.
