Coating technologies for bridges has not changed much since 1977. Available finish coat technologies were limited to alkyd, acrylic, or urethane-based chemistry. Performance of these chemistries has declined over the years due to cost reduction in paint to meet project pricing requirements. Bridge owners and engineers have had a limited selection of high-performance coatings to protect their assets. This is even more important with high profile structures where the finish coat needs to stand the test of time and limited maintenance funding has forced asset owners to extend time in between cosmetic maintenance

Martensitic stainless steel (MSS) well tubulars are favorable due to their high strength and relatively low cost and are therefore widely applied in the Oil & Gas industry. This is especially the case for 13Cr and Super13Cr grades, which are often selected for mildly sour gas fields, where a relatively low content of H2S is present. When selecting martensitic stainless steels for sour service, the susceptibility to Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) and Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC), determined by standard laboratory tests, are the most important selection criteria.
Traditional solutions for the chemical passivation of stainless steel are nitric acid based, with the addition of sodium dichromate as an inhibitor for precipitation hardened and free machining stainless steels. These passivation chemistries are difficult to handle from an environmental health and safety point of view, particularly the dichromate inhibited versions. Citric acid passivation has been pursued as a replacement for both nitric acid and inhibited nitric acid based chemistries for many years, and has been incorporated into consensus specifications such as ASTM A967 and SAE AMS2700.
This annual paper summarizes environmental, health and safety issues that may impact SSPC members. This paper discusses current and expected regulatory rulemaking, emphasis programs, enforcement initiatives or other similar topics.
This annual paper summarizes environmental, health and safety issues that may impact SSPC members. This paper discusses current and expected EPA and OSHA regulatory rulemaking, emphasis programs, enforcement initiatives or other similar topics. This paper will include a review of OSHA’s expected final standards on confined space in construction and silica and other proposed or revised regulations related to the coatings industry. Most of the information is taken directly from the respective agency’s published regulatory agenda, supplemented by anecdotal information gathered from various professional journals, seminars, and conferences.
This annual paper summarizes environmental, health and safety issues that may impact SSPC members. This paper discusses current and expected EPA and OSHA regulatory rulemaking, emphasis programs, enforcement initiatives or other similar topics. This paper will include a discussion of OSHA’s final rule on silica issued in April 2016, proposed rules from OSHA or EPA as applicable and other proposed or revised regulations related to the coatings industry. Most of the information is taken directly from the respective agency’s published regulatory agenda, supplemented by anecdotal information gathered from various professional journals, seminars, and conferences.
On September 24, 2015, The United State Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed changes to the RCRA hazardous waste generator regulations. Named the Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule, the proposed rule “will suggest changes to the RCRA hazardous waste regulations to improve the ”effectiveness and clarity of the generator rules.
This paper takes a look at emerging environmental, health and safety issues that may impact painting contactors and facility owners. Specific topics include OSHA’s hexavalent chromium standard, recent rulings related to multi-employer worksite policy and OSHA’s use of threshold limit values (TLVs®).
Update on the regulatory issues impacting industrial coatings industry. Will review the status of implementation of the EPA Hazardous Waste Generator Requirements, OSHA standards and enforcement actions. Will also discuss Regulations that could or have been Repealed, Replaced or Modified under Presidential Executive Order 13777 and changes to the EPA and OSHA.
This paper takes a look at emerging environmental, health and safety issues that may impact painting contactors and facility owners. Specific topics include OSHA’s proposed revisions to the Hazard Communications standard, updated information on silica and hexavalent chromium, and expected rule making in 2010. Additionally, information will be provided on EPA regulatory actions related to NAAQS Lead and PM2.5 and other EPA regulations. Much of the information is taken directly from the respective agency’s published regulatory agenda, supplemented by anecdotal information gathered from various professional journals, seminars and conferences.
This paper takes a look at emerging environmental, health and safety issues that may impact painting contactors and facility owners. Specific topics include a summary of OSHA and EPA’s new and proposed revised regulations related to lead, paint, and construction. Information will be provided on EPA regulatory actions related to NAAQS Lead and the recent advanced notice of proposed rulemaking for Lead, Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program for Public and Commercial Buildings.
