03006 SURFACE-TOLERANT, ALUMINUM-FOIL, TAPE COATING

A cyclic salt-fog test was used to characterize the corrosion control of various aluminum foil coatings on rusted steel. In the maintenance of minimally prepared steel in a marine atmosphere, a properly designed coating system, containing an aluminum foil layer, would be expected to be significantly more durable than a traditional liquid applied coating.

Aluminum foil coatings are applied by adhering a laminated film containing an aluminum foil layer to a steel substrate. Aluminum foil coatings are known to possess better barrier properties and provide better protection to corners (sharp edges) than conventional liquid applied coatings of similar film thickness. A cyclic salt-fog test was used to characterize the corrosion control behavior of various aluminum foil coatings applied to rusted steel. The test data showed that, in addition to controlling corrosion by a barrier mechanism, some of the foil coatings controlled the spread of corrosion at scribes and holidays by a cathodic protection mechanism. Rust creepage rate decreased as foil thickness increased. Most of the foil coatings outperformed the epoxy mastic coating that was used as a comparison. Adhering bare foil directly to a minimally prepared, rusted steel substrate resulted in rapid pitting and perforation of the foil; however pitting did not occur if an intermediate organic layer was present, between the foil and the rusted steel. In the maintenance of minimally prepared steel in a marine atmosphere, a properly designed coating system, containing an aluminum foil layer, would be expected to be significantly more durable than a traditional liquid applied coating of similar film thickness.

03029 STRATEGIES TO PREVENT CORROSION UNDER INSULATION IN PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY PIPING

Product Number: 51300-03029-SG

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) in pipingc systems consumes a significant percent of the maintenance budget in the petrochemical industry. Prevention of CUI by the use of (1) thermal spray aluminum, (2) stainless steel pipe, (3) expanded metal cages for personnel protection instead of insulation and (4) aluminum foil wrapping are discussed in terms of long term protection, installed cost and Life cycle cost.

Hot dip galvanizing steel articles after fabrication is one of the most widely used methods to provide corrosion protection. As a final step in the process, the hot dip galvanized coating is inspected for compliance with specifications. Correct measurement techniques and accurate interpretation of the results are necessary to provide an acceptable hot dip galvanized coating.

04022 Experiences on Thermal Spray Aluminum (TSA) Coating for Offshore Structures

Product Number: 51300-04022-SG

Since 1982, there has been a move to Thermal Sprayed Aluminum (TSA) coating in the “splash zone” of offshore structures.  Our experience indicates that an experience applicator, good surface preparation and quality of wire combined to achieve required thickness and apply the sealer to seal the entire surface.
