The twenty-first century presents a major challenge to coatings manufacturers. The amount of solvent allowable in many coatings has been reduced considerably. In order to attain these lower VOC’s, coatings formulators are searching for resins that have low VOC demand, as well as ways of formulating that can replace the high volumes of solvent used in the past
The twenty-first century presents a major challenge to coatings manufacturers. The amount of solvent allowable in many coatings has been reduced considerably. In order to attain these lower VOC’s, coatings formulators are searching for resins that have low VOC demand, as well as ways of formulating that can replace the high volumes of solvent used in the past. Water based coatings are affected by these rules just as are solvent based coatings. This article discusses the formulating techniques needed to reduce VOC content, as well as the performance of these low VOC coatings.
Moisture related problems for non-permeable flooring systems have plagued the construction industry for decades. Lower volatile organic compounds limitations and expedited construction schedules have increased the occurrences and awareness of the issue.

A case study of how poor initial quality control resulted in a complete coatings rework of the underwater bottom (exterior hull) of a large Floating Storage Unit (FSU) and how a good quality control program, during rework, resulted in the documented long term performance of the second application underwater hull coating system.
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of an ultra-high pressure (UHP) waterjetting surface preparation (>25,000 psi) on the performance properties of select marine/offshore coating epoxy systems. Uncoated steel panels had been allowed to rust in an outdoor atmospheric environment and then were subjected to UHP waterjetting
