(Testing) Importance and Correlation of Accelerated Weathering Versus 10 years of South Florida Exposure

Picture for Coatings + Proceedings 2021-ALL Papers
Available for download

The Paint and Coatings industry uses accelerated testing to extrapolate performance in real world situations and ensure coating formulations will withstand the forces of nature and provide long-term durability. This paper will compare the performance data of the three most common accelerated exposure test methods: QUV-A (ASTM D 4587), Xenon Arc (ASTM D 6695), and EMMAQUA (ASTM D 4141) and correlate this data to the same systems exposed for 10 years in South Florida and in North Kansas City, Missouri.

We will show the importance of formulation design and the critical impact that ingredients have on the long-term performance of the coating. This study will compare high performance polyurethane, polysiloxane, and fluoropolymer technologies. We will also demonstrate that the combination of accelerated test methods can be used to predict long-term performance in different longitudinal zones which have varying degrees of solar radiation.

(Coating Application,Types & Characteristics) New SSPC Paint 47 Fluoropolymer Topcoat Standard for

Product Number: 13-COAT_DEC21
Author: Dr. Kurt Wood
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Since the 1980s, fluoropolymer resin technologies have offered the possibility of a quantum improvement in topcoat decorative properties- gloss and color retention- compared to conventional acrylic and polyester resins. Specifiers of both protective and architectural restoration coatings systems have expressed a need for a new SSPC standard for field-applied fluoropolymer topcoats, particularly for bright and saturated colors.

(Coating Formulation) Corrosion Resistance Comparison of Zinc-Rich Epoxy With Reduced Zinc Levels

Product Number: 46-COAT_DEC21
Author: Mary Roley
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Zinc-rich coatings have long been known to provide excellent corrosion resistance in highly corrosive environments, in general,inorganic zincs for new construction and organic zincs for maintenance. A recent trend has been toward zinc-rich coatings with reduced levels of zinc dust. An SSPC committee formed to revise SSPC Paint 29, Zinc Dust Sacrificial Primer, Performance Based, to reference performance only, removing reference to minimum zinc dust level.

(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.
