Two-Coat Low VOC Maintenance System for DoD Aboveground Storage Tanks

Two-Coat Low VOC Maintenance System for DoD Aboveground Storage Tanks
Available for download

To protect against corrosion, exterior Department of Defense (DoD) Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) surfaces initially receive a three-coat coating system consisting of epoxy primer (MIL-DTL-24441, Formula 159, Type III), epoxy intermediate (MIL-DTL-24441, Formula 152, Type IV), and polyurethane topcoat (MILPRF-85285D, Type II).  Exterior AST maintenance painting is generally required at less than eight years’ service.

Troweled Cementitious Urethane Floor Systems

Product Number: 41205-180-SG
Author: Steven Lipman
Publication Date: 2005
$20.00

This paper will focus on polymeric cementitious urethane floor systems that are applied in very harsh and demanding environments. We will outline the history, advantages and disadvantages of these systems, as well as some of the applications for which these systems are best suited. Finally, we will discuss how these systems are applied.

(Coating Application, Types & Characteristics) Use of Duplex Coating Systems for Protection of Structural Steel

Product Number: 15-COAT_DEC21
Author: William D. Corbett
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

The use of duplex coating systems (hot dip galvanizing or thermal spray coating with one or more liquid-applied coatings) for long term protection of structural steel is becoming more mainstream in many industries. This paper describes the advantages of employing duplex coating systems as well as some important considerations for designers prior to specifying their use. It also highlights an ongoing initiative to help agencies more efficiently and effectively use duplex coatings on steel bridges by developing guidelines, standards, and other materials.

(Inspection) Coating Condition Assessments: The First Step in Fighting Corrosion on Aboveground Sto

Product Number: 53-COAT_DEC21
Author: Adam G. Beers / Lake H. Barrett, Jr.
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Being proactive and performing scheduled coating condition assessments on above ground storage tanks to prevent corrosion is of utmost importance to protect assets. Undetected corrosion can result in product contamination, section loss, create compliance issues resulting in fines levied by governmental agencies, and increase costs of asset replacement. Planned and detailed coating/lining condition assessments can help a tank owner realize the current condition of their assets and maximize life expectancy.
